Hey John, I do want to preserve the rights of others that enjoy their right to bear arms. That's why I'm a proud NRA member. The problem with discussions like this is people are to far on the left or right. There aren't really responsible gun owners out there that voice their beliefs enough. It seems the only ones we hear from are the gun toting, right winging extremists that give us responsible gun owners/sportsman a bad name. It's just more cannon fodder for the anti's. You and I both know that if they outlaw firearms the bad guys will still have them.

Personally I wouldn't care if I was only able to own a single shot firearm. I only use firearms for hunting/shooting sports and enjoy the heritage my family shares together. I find it so interesting when the topic of firearms comes up....especially lately! I hear all the anti's out there condemning the ownership of firearms. Last year alone almost 16,000 americans lost their lives in alcohol related automobile accidents. Billions of dollars are spent every year on smoking related diseases. Why don't we just go after alcohol and tobacco companies right now? I work in health care and rarely have I seen gunshot wounds, but everyday I have patients or families whose lives have been ruined due to alcohol or tobacco. I recently had a patient that was raped by a man who drank himself out of control. Perhaps rape victims should start suing alcohol producers. Just some food for thought.

Molly Henschel and Chad Staerkel will be uniting in marriage this Friday the 8th of August at Green Bay Skydivers. Both started their skydiving career in Green Bay. Chad is now a tandem instructor at Skydive Chicago and Molly works manifest and attends college to become a nurse. From all of us in Green Bay we love you guys and may God bless you.

Sure, religious extremists can piss me off. Especially the cowardly muslim extremists that kill innocent people like the reporter that had his head cut off and the video posted on the internet.

25mg of plain over the counter benadryl works great. We use it in hospitals as a mild sedative. Good luck.

Here's my two cents on the subject. I own a Springfield XD 9mm. I have shot a lot of .45 and I love the caliber. But the 9mm is cheap to shoot and (in my opinion) has plenty of stopping power when you put your shots center mass where they should be. Also, there are quite a few streamline models in 9mm out there that can be easily concealed. Good luck and have fun with your decision.

I would have to agree with you. From my understanding that many of the Taliban fighters were trained by the U.S. during the cold war to fight the Russian invasion. If my info is wrong please let me know but I would still like to see the Russians come in and destroy whomever is responsible for killing their embassy personnel.

Actually they did until the US started shipping stinger missiles there in quantity. Two points for you. For some reason people don't realize that we trained and supplied the Afghan fighters during the cold war.

Do you mean the Russians will be able to do the job and get it done without the press getting in the way and reporting bad things about the soldiers? What a concept! There is war going on and our military leaders seem to have their hands tied trying to be so politically correct in the eyes of the media. I believe the Russians should go in kick some insurgent ass! By the way, thanks for serving your country namgrunt.

I thought S.L.U.T. actually stood for Skydiving Ladies Under Thirty. There are a lot of S.L.U.Ts around most dropzones. I don't think it's a bad thing.

Whatever. Until you've been that person on the outside of the door than the ignorance is on your side.

I think even the cops are afraid to break into your house!

If you're not a criminal then you have nothing to worry about. Cleaning a legal gun in your own home is not going to send you to jail without passing go. This, if anything, is going to protect the police officers who have to kick down that door. The element of surprise is a good thing to have on your side. In situations like this Mr. Murphy is always lurking and and it's better to catch an armed criminal off guard.

XD subcompact 9mm. I love the way it handles and the ease of cleaning. I also read an article that the XD was put through extreme cold and heat and fired 10,000 rounds without a jam. The 45 will have some serious stopping power. I have had great luck with mine and I'm sure you'll appreciate yours if you get one. I'm off to the DZ.

I'm still stuck on the point that your benelli holds only 8 rounds (although a great gun). I personally love my springfield armory XD. It holds 16 rounds and has become an extension of my hand. Man I love guns.
