    To whom it may concern; concerning the 2nd amendment and rights of firearm owners.

    I don't understand anyone's angst regarding firearms. That angst is misdirected. The angst should be directed toward the irresponsible users. And I see no mention of 2A, a right that shall not be infringed.

    O'Rourke's "Death Threat"? WTF?

    Before Beto tries to take the first AR-15, he should go walk the Lexington-Concord Battle Trail and spend some time in the Minute Man National Historical Park. He may learn something.

    Maggie’s The Grey Ghost of the Outer Banks

    Complied with the evacuation order and left early yesterday. Seems to me Dare County was quick on the trigger.

    Maggie’s Requesting Help to connect pic of WWII vets with families

    Please see the attached photo. It is from the personal effects of my father, who served in the 26th Infantry Division, 101st Infantry Regiment. As far as I know, this picture is unique and has not been seen by any of the men pictured and named in the photo or by any members of their families...

    This sounds closer. The 5"/38 has separate train and elevation receiver regulators and separate train and elevation stations manned by separate operators. The train receiver is in the forward starboard corner of the enclosure; the elevation receiver is forward to port. Before the firing control...

    Thank you to your uncle for his service. While the USS New Jersey did carry open mounts smaller than 5", all mounts 5" and above were enclosed. USS New Jersey was launched in 1942 but was not fully outfitted at the time (main turrets had not been installed yet) and, after shakedown and training...

    Dumbest thing you had to do in the Military?

    On USN LPDs, there is a grated ramp that runs from the well deck up to vehicle stowage. After debarking from LCACs and LCUs, vehicles traverse up the ramp. Of course, much of the retained sand falls through the grates. Since our training sessions were ending early, somebody found some work...

    The LCS is just the latest U.S. Navy ship acquisition debacle. The reason the ship is designed to make 40 knots or more is because one of its foremost operational concepts is to evade (i.e., flee), not fight. The ship as delivered has no mission capability. In other words, it won't do anything...

    Puller is not a converted tanker. NASSCO did base the design of Puller on an existing tanker design. The first Puller was a combatant, FFG-23.

    Question on funeral at Arlington Nationa Cemetary

    I have participated in a number of burials at Arlington and suggest that you do not deliver flowers on the day of the ceremony. Will this be a ground interment? If so, the burial site will not be closed until after the ceremony is over. If you are local, you can deliver fresh cut flowers...

    Tipton Best Gun Vise Reviews?

    Can't speak to the Tipton. I have the P3 Ultimate Gun Vise by CTK Precision. I really like it.
