Buckshot Bear

We've just spent a little under $1m upgrading our small country clubs facilities (62 members) after being paid out for our insurance policy after being totally wiped out in a bushfire at the beginning of last year, thankfully there's no taxes like mentioned above.

Just out of interest how hard would it be to kick off a brand new shooting range in the US? Would you need local government approval? Would there be fees for the approval? Would you have to submit plans for the buildings and building works? Could adjoining neighbor's complain about noise impacting their properties? Back stops for bullets? Can adjoining properties complain about projectiles leaving the range onto their properties? What hoops would you need to go through for approval?

Sad

Ever wondered about: Guts or Balls... There is a medical distinction. We've all heard about people having guts or balls, but do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definitions are listed below: GUTS - Is arriving home late after a night out with the boys, being met by your missus with a broom, and having the guts to ask: ''Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?'' BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the boys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your missus on the ass and having the balls to say: ''You're next, fatty.'' I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. Medically speaking, there is no difference in the outcome, since both ultimately result in severe injury.

Posted this up before.....didn't seem that it was too popular. I'll be watching it though for sure.

Australia is pretty big.....but driving around through the unpopulated parts it feels a LOT bigger because there's only 25 million of us compared to the 300 or so million that you guys have in roughly give or take the same area.

I think we downunder would embarrass the heck out of the Queen with what we've done to the Queens English.

Jeez Louise.....you guys don't like Vegemite but you can drink sarsaparilla? To me its tastes like the worst medicine I've ever had to endure......yuck!

No dramas with primer ignition?

An elderly Australian woman is visiting her son in the US for his birthday. She arrives at LAX early in the morning and arranges to drive to his house, in New Orleans, in order to “take in the scenery” and see what the American South has to offer. She drives at a leisurely pace, and stops at scenic viewpoints whenever possible, knowing she has some time to get to her son. She stops to rest when she is tired, eats when she is hungry, and otherwise enjoys her time. On the second day, she realizes it’s about time to hurry things up if she wants to make it to her son’s before his birthday. She begins to ramp up the speed, just a few miles at a time. Soon, she’s flying down the highway, eager to get to New Orleans before sundown. Suddenly, a police officer pulls her over. “Ma’am,” he says, “Do you know why I stopped you?” “Yes,” the Aussie responds, “I may have been going a tad too fast in this car. I’m not used to the rules of the road around here and the speed got away from me. You see, I’m from another country and I’m trying to visit my son. ” “Well, ma’am, you were clocking above 95 MPH! Did you come here to DIE??” “No,” she says. “I came here yester-die.”

Ok.....I just asked my wife if I'm allowed to say "G'day good lookin" to females"......she said I must keep to my known vocabulary

They aren't SASS Rugers, they are TALO Rugers (?). This is what is available from one place here -

Its usually G'day mate if its a mate (but not always you can say G'day mate to a stranger) or just G'day if you don't know them (like a bank teller, check out operator etc). But to answer Alpo's query "Is that how everybody in Oz greets everybody, every damn time"? ...... that's a yes.

What would I notice if I installed Wolff hammer springs and Wolff trigger springs in my Vaqueros? Worthy upgrades to do? No gunsmithing just user drop ins?

@Sedalia Dave Thanks so much for going to that trouble mate.....super appreciated thank you!!!!

Wife and I were watching the Yorkshire Vet on TV last night and they had a dog brought in that had eaten just one stick of sugar free chewing gum. Short story, dog was on life support and nearly died....but with intensive care they pulled it through. Nearly all sugar free gum has the ingredient xylitol and its deadly to dogs. We went through the house last night and also the cars and cleaned out where we keep some of this gum and sure enough it had xylitol listed in the ingredients. Its all been thrown out now.

Great effort!

ROFLMAO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My guns, my ammo - period.

I'm' still asking a heap of questions and still getting helpful answers.....and still so very much appreciating how warm and friendly folks here are. Thanks one and all.

Are dirty fired .38 cases out of a '73 just part and parcel of using prairie fart loads?
