Ah, gun porn

They are sorta perdy aren't they?

Give the gun-grabbing libs a few years, and even gun porn will be outlawed.

Here's a Walther P99 without her clothes on.

pdf link to Parker v. District of Columbia

The majority in yesterday’s decision pointed to a 1998 dissent in which “at least three current members (and one former member) of the Supreme Court have read ‘bear arms’ in the Second Amendment to have meaning beyond mere soldiering.” They were former Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who died in 2005, and Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Antonin Scalia and David H. Souter.

Things look better than I thought. I never would have guessed that about Ginsburg or Souter.

I'm sorry, you can't have two favorites. There are rules, you know.

In 1975, I was on the Southwest High School JROTC Rifle Team in KC, MO. We had a 50' smallbore range in the basement of the school. I used to practice there every day after class, using one of the rifles provided by JROTC: Either a Remington 40X-R or a Winchester 52 (I think). Both were great rifles. I used to shoot at least a box of 50 rounds of .22LR every day. While it doesn't sound like much, remember, these were single shot target rifles, practicing for 3 position matches.

I've got a 625-5, which Ron Power was good enough to "work over" for me. It's awesome!

And your photo reminds me of a really nice guy I used to shoot with, who happened to be an excellent gunsmith. We used to call his revolver/cartridge the .44 Smith & Warren. He modified a 629 to work with full moon clips, and using (I think) .308 brass, created his own version of a rimless .44Mag cartridge.

In Kennesaw, GA, crime is next to nonexistent.
But it was never very high to start with!

In the early sixties, I used the rifle range at dorsey H.S. in Watts. wonder how many guns are at that school today?

Hundreds. And that's just the campus cops...

A few years ago, after reading the book SHOOT BACK about the terrorist attack on the Church in South Africa I began to carry in church every sunday. A Sig P245 (45ACP),IWB with a spare magazine. I went ten years before I found out that a member of my IDPA club is an elder in my church (BIG Church) and he carries his 45 in the same manner. With the full knowledge and approval of the pastor.

DON`T REMEMBER A MASS SCHOOL SHOOTING IN KC IN 1975?

[Osage Orange]

[jetson]

I used to live not real far from Geuda Springs...

If you barely ( and I mean barely....) blinked...you missed Geuda Springs, KS.

My uncle (who's only 11 years older than me) was on his HS's rifle team in the mid-1960's. He carried his rifle to school on his shoulder, and put it - with ammo - into his locker. So did all of the other members of his team. Not one of them ever shot anyone, or even threatened to do so. Further, no one even looked at them cross-eyed for carrying rifles in public.

Oh, BTW, this was in Queens, NYC.

[Osage Orange]

I read that myself just recently..........

The spare mag issue...caught my attention also.
