Sounds like Austin, TX.

Campus lifted the lockdown about an hour and a half ago. The school is still closed for the day, though. They had SWAT teams go through and check all of the surrounding buildings, and never found anyone else, as far as I know. I think the second gunman reports were spawned out of conflicting descrip...

I'm thinking/hoping the news screwed that one up, and that it was a semi-auto. Anyone these days who has a machine gun and intends to use it for malicious purposes probably wouldn't go through legitimate procedures to get the gun in the first place....but I guess you never know. My gut tells me what...

Apparently some guy walked into the main library on campus at UT Austin about an hour ago and opened fire. Luckily he was either a shitty marksman or didn't really want to physically harm anyone else, because reports are saying he fired "10 to 15 shots" but the only person he killed was hi...

Unfortunately, I think Homemade is right. I got bored and looked it up on the ATF website...under thier C&R FAQ's: " The definition for curio or relic (“C & R”) firearms found in 27 CFR § 478.11 does not specifically state that a firearm must be in its original condition to be classifie...

Those birds are cool, Hush. I never had much experience with woodworking, but I enjoyed metalworking a lot during the year I took of it in high school. I built some cool stuff in there...wish I still had access to all the equipment (not to mention the free material). I have a few things that I used ...

No, but this one was. Giger is one of my favorite artists. Jeremy Damn, that is awesome too. When done well, Giger-inspired stuff is always kickass. Especially bio-mech tattoos. Speaking of which, I don't think I'd really consider getting tattoos a "hobby", but I do like them. Only two so...

That is quite possibly the coolest knife I've ever seen. I love evil-looking stuff. HR Giger inspired?

Obviously, everyone on the board can put down "shooting sports" near the top of their list of hobbies.

Anyone have any other recreational interests? I play the drums...not nearly as often as I'd like to anymore, but I do still play.

It's like IKEA, except it's cool. They even have the restaurant at the end...

Did anyone else notice the soundtrack? Sounds like a cover or tweaked instrumental version of Pink Floyd's "Time".

I read the first line and knew whoever was involved had to be screwed.

In Federal District Court on July 20, 2010, the ATF won a conviction from an Austin jury that defies logic and reason.

Unfair trial to begin with, if you ask me.

I also am not sure about the legality of AOW's in Indiana. Keep in mind, though, that if you take a shotgun with a stock and install a pistol grip and then cut the barrel down, it will NOT be an AOW--it will be an SBS. To qualify as an AOW, it has to come from the factory with a pistol grip (i.e. Mo...

My dad just had the stock on his old Remington 700 .270 refinished by these guys. They did a hell of a job, and for only $100! Originally the rifle had a moderately beat up old laminated wood stock; now it has a flawless waterproof digital desert camo finish. I'd recommend these guys to anyone who w...

I have an EOTech on my SR-556. It works well for me out to about 100 yards; haven't tried shooting past that with it yet, but I imagine it'd be a little difficult since the EOTech is basically just glorified iron sights (until I get a magnifier, anyway). It is definitely a front-heavy rifle. To bala...

ROFL

I guarantee you that if you went out to a Global Warming protest with a petition to ban ALL CO2 emissions, you'd get 95 out of 100 people to sign it. You could then kindly ask them to stop breathing. I saw something like this done on TV once; I think it was on Penn and Teller's "Bullshit!"...

I played the original once (Red Dead Revolver). It is cool... just like GTA but with a western theme. You steal horses instead of cars, and all of your weapons are from the typical spaghetti western arsenal (single action revolvers, lever action rifles, etc).

Great Pics Robert, when I was living in AZ, used to have small heards of javelinos (small wild pig-like creatures) come walking around out of the foothills, always wondered what they'd taste like My dad was on the staff of the Texas Shootout for many years. Sadly it is no longer held, but it used t...

Octopuses (octopi?) are some of the coolest critters out there, IMO. They can also be a force to be reckoned with...

Every time the ranch hand on the property my dad leases shreds a sendero, the armadillos come out in droves. We have a rule now: no easy shots. It's either as far away as you can get, or as close as possible. I like the challenge of sneaking up to < 5 feet with a handgun, or a steel-toed boot.... :t...

From the "CrashTheTeaParty" website:




So, instead of providing a legitimate rebuttal as to why the tea party's political ideology is wrong in their eyes, they will pretend to be tea party members, and act like obnoxious fools? Classy.

does the handgun ammunition age law actually even carry over to reloading components? such as plated pistol bullets? its not actually ammunition.. I do not know for sure if the law carries over for bullets, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did. Some of the laws and regulations are totally bass-ack...

At 18 you can only buy handguns and other NFA items from individuals or make them yourself on form 1. You can not buy from a dealer. Also pistol gripped only shotguns are off limits to you also. In Nebraska you can't sign an apartment lease untill 19. Wait, so at 18, I could have filled out a form ...

Yes, "Texas Gun Shows" is an organization, and they are rather new. Probably should have clarified that; it is a little misleading. And yes, the rules suck ass...but unfortunately I'm not entirely convinced that they are a violation of 2nd Amendment rights, since it essentially boils down ...
