    Maggie’s 1986 Miami

    A similar situation to what was reported in the Newhall shooting is reported to have occured in the murder of NJ State Trooper Philip Lamonaco. And I believe that is also what precipitated the change from revolvers to the HK P7 back then too.

    Maggie’s For you Apollo 11 geeks... it's like Christmas!

    Born in 1959, and I remember watching with my family and my mom's sister and her family. They kept telling us how monumental this would be and that we'd remember it forever. So far, so good. I also remember that Citgo gas stations (I think it was Citgo, a neighbor owned one) gave out these...

    Maggie’s 1986 Miami

    Massad Ayoob did an extensive write-up about it in American Handgunner. I know there are people that aren't fans of his, but I really enjoyed his column, The Ayoob Files. That article was a standout on a few levels, especially his way of examining how training and current doctrine influenced...

    Maggie’s SH Motorcycle Thread

    This was a ride in the springtime a couple years ago. Those fat tires actually don't do too bad on the snow. Hard to tell from the pic, but the ride down that little evergreen lane through the trees was slightly downhill, and getting back out to the gravel road at the end was a lot harder than...

    Maggie’s SH Motorcycle Thread

    Took a ride last night along some of the seasonal roads and along some railroad tracks last night. I like trying to get lost, then figuring out where I am without going back along the route that got me there. I have a lot of fun exploring on this little bike.

    What Sunglasses are you wearing?

    Good Topic! I have worn Oakley Frogskins for years. Not the "classic" frogskins, but an older style that they don't make anymore. (http://www.o-review.com/database_detail_model.php?ID=70) I like that they fit a larger head, and have that wrap-around bug eye shape. Best part for me is that even...

    Maggie’s Why wait til bedtime?

    This will be funny at some point in the future. Actually, I'm kinda finding it funny right now. Once had my son at a playground, he was about 4 or 5 at the time. He climbed the ladder for the slide, stopped at the top and had this weird look on his face, then he puked all down the slide. Next...

    Anyone want to educate themselves?

    Lots of studies use 21 as the age line, and I have seen some use 25 (might be what you also referred to). If you use either 21 or 25, then how many people in our military would then be considered part of their defined group of "children"???

    Post your funniest range story...

    A very long time ago, maybe very early 1970s, when I was about 12 years old, my dad granted me the use of his Red Ryder. He got it when he was around 10 from his aunt, and I still have it today. We lived in a suburban North NJ town that had a very large cemetery right up the block from me, and...
