I kinda figure Sam Colt was a twinkle in his grandpa’s eye when the Declaration of Independence was signed.

I don’t know what to tell you. The ones I have been in were dirty. Dust on shelves and products and the floors were atrocious.

Thank you for your service to our great nation. Keep your head down ! Come back home safe . God bless. Rooster 🙏🇺🇲

Is this you Pard ?

Nope! We rebels don't abide by those future times! It is still the 4th here!

And, it also happens to be my son's birthday, born at 9:11 AM...

The reason citizens have firearms today is because some unruly subjects had firearms in 1776…and refused to be subjects any longer! 🇺🇸

See yinz tomorrow

Welcome back Highwall. I’ve got Dupuytren’s contraction on both my little fingers. Had the needle procedure done about 3 years ago and it got so bad again this last December that it was extremely hard to put on gloves. Went back to the hand specialist in February and had the needle procedure done again on the right hand. Have the left hand scheduled for November after all my shooting travels are over for the year.

I will have enough fireworks in the morning at the Steel Challenge match. Looks like the fellow that runs it will be out of town next month. I messaged him that I will pitch in, and we can talk about it in the morning.

If the deal falls thru contact me and I’ll buy it.

Nope!

Welcome back @Highwall Come over to the Saloon, tell Bottles to put it it on @Calico Jacks tab.

Yeah, maybe so, but everyone else says you have to!

Just got in from a church cookout and fireworks tonight. They even had a bounce house and waterslide for the kids. No fancy food but it sure was good. And the family that hosted this had a nice fireworks display for us all. May God bless America!

I'm about half deaf. That might be why I missed the inflection in your voice.

no - not the hoods , the educational system , or lack there of , but the hoods look dumb on a 90+ day out in the sun

More beans, Mr. Taggart? Of course. That's an excellent start line regardless of the weather...😀

Ya done bumped the wrong one so I'll bump it up there!

I want everyone that comes out to the target range or to a match to have the most enjoyment they can and gain the most knowledge that they can about firearms and shooting sports. That said... - They need to have at the very least, basic firearm safety knowledge. If they don't, they need to take a firearm safety course BEFORE coming to the range. - They need to have rudimentary knowledge of how their firearm works. Take a shooting lesson if needed to become familiar with their gun(s). - If it is a shooting sport, they need to have read the rule book and have watched videos of the sport being "played". Shooting competitions are NOT the places to learn how to shoot a firearm. Most of the time at the shooting range (target), I cannot safely watch 20 - 30 other shooters and, at the time, provide a mentor to the new shooter. Shooting activities, be it target shooting, sport shooting or disciplined shooting are not like any other sport...serious, if not fatal, injuries can occur if safety protocols are not followed all the time...every time. I refuse to compromise the safety of all other shooters to accommodate one new shooter. As an RO at the shooting range (target), I try to help out newer shooters as much as possible and offer advice if solicited. When I was shooting CAS and/or operating the timer, I did the same thing. All people that are new to firearms have to learn somewhere. I just don't believe that a range full of people is the place to start.

my wife and i are regulars here - they often have things others dont and the quality is superb , also like we dont have to buy large quantity of things that spoil

I found this on Amazon Prime, looked for it on YouTube. It looks interesting. I'm guessing the age restriction is because it has films of war. "It was becoming clear in 1939 that direct U.S. involvement in World War II was only a matter of time. Training approximately five hundred pilots a year, the United States Army Air Corps was severely outmatched by the warring powers of Europe and Asia. What could be done to ramp up U.S. air power and train two hundred thousand pilots to take on the Axis powers? The answer could only be realized in the United States of America. —James Willis
