I'm still here although a bit older and my age is slowing me down a tad anymore.
LTNS! How are you?
I never joined the Bang List - but I always enjoy seeing the “Bang!”.
Thanks!

Thanks for setting it up.
I check it daily.
Best,

Thanks for keeping this website alive and good to see you still alive and kicking! And for not banning me when I was super pissed at Bush for various things back in the day! LOL
I don’t know what this is. I thought this was about sex. I’ll leave now.
Is there a link?
Can’t date its genesis, but given my affinity for firearms, i’m sure I was there pretty early.
one of the very few things I’ve managed to learn... over many years,,
is to NOT let age worry me
yes, we get older (and as the saying goes, it sure beats the alternative)
yes, we may need to slow down or be more careful, certainly we don’t heal as fast as we used to....
BUT given all that, there’s STILL SOOOOOOOOOOOO much we can enjoy, or help make happen that’s good
and every time I get worried or depressed about getting older or more frail... I remember such as Charles Krathhauer all cripped up in his wheelchair.............like him or not, just look how active and influential he was ..... for so many years.... and I can still recall Helen Keller, for that matter..... and even (nobody likes him on FR, but still .........) FDR with his polio..............look at how much he did, good and bad, yes......even tho he could barely walk...
I INSIST on being as happy and useful as possible.. each day....period. Carpe Diem, and....well, Apres Moi, le deluge!
Ditto on never joining but always awatching and areading.
Is this the old-timers convention or what?
Banglist memory lane ping:)

Howdy, bud! Long time no see. Range day for me tomorrow, first in a while, but I’ll be thinking of you. This...thing, turned out to be more serious than I ever suspected it would. To be armed is inherently an act of defiance. Lives, fortunes, and sacred honor, it may come to that again. Best to you.
So, ah, when’s the next “Friday night gun thread”?
I’m not trying to abuse the banglist with the following, by the way. The question that I’m raising is that of whether or not an opinion about recusal from death penalty cases might also carry over to personally held moral considerations in self-defense cases and/or Second Amendment cases.

I know, it might be tenuous possibility. You all decide. Sorry if the extra depth hurts any heads. ;-)
Bump ‘da Bang.
Still here. Nice to see you Sir Gawain

This thread has just added to the FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".
Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.
Let Freedom Ring,
Haven’t spent too much time on the bang list but I have to share a minor experience from last weekend.
I lead a Trail Life USA boys outdoor adventure troop. In order to do firearms, the boys have to be supervised by a NRA instructor. So, several leaders from the area got certified a few months ago.
Me and another leader held a basic rifle class on Saturday. We did the classwork at my church then drove over to a range maintained by a local hunting club. The hunt club guy asked me the next day if I’d be interested in taking over for him as he wants to retire from their youth shooting program.
I was pretty gratified that as an experienced instructor, he thought a couple newbie instructors on their first class did a pretty good job.
BANG
what are the subjects intended to be included in the Bang List.
Is adding a post to the Bang List just a matter of putting Bang List in the Key Words?
