I was proceeding to look at what they had available, and he asked to look at a Colt AR-15 in the display. He was wearing an Army...

    Army tattoo policy

    Having a tatoo is not not an indication of a low IQ, or poor character. I have multiple tatoos and over the years I kept them under cover. That a short sleeve shirt would not reveal. When I retired I had my forearm tatooed, and wear it proudly. I know highly educated that have them, and very...

    "EddieG1979" aka Tactical Rifles Shooter

    I would be willing to let my grandson or daughter shoot against him, if he want a real contest. Although it may be a little off in favor of my grandson, he is great at video games. I really find the 50k rounds, somewhat hilarious.

    Freedom to Criticize

    With all the Tacticalrifles.net, crap going on all over the site and other shooting forums, it just seems a customer has no rights anymore. I as a consumer feel it is my right to criticize, the service and products I purchase. However, in the new politically correct USA, it appears consumers...
