I like the thought, and shooting a ‘flying ashtray’ out of a 1911 is very effective.

I’ll still shoot twice.

[VR-21]

A factual movie, I mean.

[FreedomPoster]

Ping. Some good old-school gun pr0n here.

A local shop had one of those for sale last week. It was going for $5000.

[Tijeras_Slim]

A S&W Safety Hammerless in either .32 or .38 S&W. Also called “Lemon Squeezer.”

[Robe]

The pistol belonged to my father in law, he got it from his grand father who worked on the Mississippi Riverboats.
(Rumored to have been a bit of a gambler and a rouge)
I really like the gun, better that my S&W .357 mag.even.

[Sender]

If I had $5000, it would be an incredible bargain. But alas, I don’t.

Here in San Francisco, a friend of mine went to the drug store wearing his NRA cap. A woman with a little girl spotted the cap, and with a look of horror on her face grabbed the girl and said, “Let’s get out of here before somebody gets hurt.”

Most of them are shootable with modern ammo, which is still available.

Then again Reagan also signed the “Firearm Owner’s Protection Act” into law, which contained the Hughes Amendment, which banned the sale of new automatic firearms to the public after April 1986.

Reagan was not without his flaws, after being elected President.

[wastedyears]

The repeal of NFA, GCA and the Hughes Amendment in FOPA would be part of my platform.

As it is I’ve thought about running for mayor, but I’m 24 and don’t owe anybody anything, so I can’t get special interests behind my back. I also believe in lowering taxes to the absolute minimum, as well as repealing unnecessary taxes. But I don’t have a name like Kennedy.

Did I forget to mention I live in NYC?

[Robe]

Yup, I've put a box of .38 S&w through it.. it's spot on at the range and is my “Bedside Companion”
nickel finish BTW

[Tijeras_Slim]

I have a 1898 in .38 and a 1909 in .32... both nickle. Nice little guns.

My nightstand companion is a bit more authoritative.

[neverdem]

thanks, bfl

Those were the days!

Be Ever Vigilant!

Ya know, I can STILL buy gun magazines off the rack at the grocery store.

What I want to see is the old advertisements for Anti-Tank Rifles and other cool old military surplus you used to see in old magazines. I still kick myself for not saving my allowance and buying one back in the days when you could get them for (relatively) cheap.

[Blue Collar Christian]

“Is there any conservative in office or are there any that are running that has the repeal of 1934 and 1968 gun control acts as part of their platform?”

No. It would be political suicide. There are not enough patriots around for that to be a winning platform. It would be too realistic for the independents. Just saying.

I was helping a couple wirh a paint order one day and the lady was walking around the store with her two little boys, about 6 and 8. All of a sudden she grabbed the kids and started dragging them toward the door. The husband went to see what was wrong, She spotted the display of machetes and cane knives, and didn't want the kids to see them. When he came back he informed me that where they came from things like that were kept under the counter.

Things like that? Like what? Tools? Oh the horror! Im torn between laughter and disgust at such idiocy. Mr & Mrs Wimpy Wimperton from Wimpville.

[Tunehead54]

I’ll take three please! No, no need to wrap them ... but give me a crate of those .45 ACP cartridges ... Ahh the good old days! ;-)

I grew up in the Northeast, not involved in the gun culture at all. At some point in my early twenties, I decided I would become a gun owner. Years later (early 30s now) I met the lady who eventually became my wife. I remember letting her know the first time she visited my apt. that I kept guns in the house, partly to judge her reaction. When she responded with an enthusiastic “Cool!” I knew I had a keeper.
