    Why is it always pitt bulls?

    I worked in 2 different ER’s for about 5 years in the Phoenix metro area, albeit 20+ years ago. Saw a fair amount of dog bites. Little dogs seemed to lead the pack (pun intended) and their bites were often in the face of little kids (at their level) or de-gloving of fingers. My aunt has a little...

    Narcan doesn’t save lives

    Hard to say we want to win the war on drugs while removing all consequences of those drugs. Of course the obvious answer is the war on drugs was never made to be won.

    Rant time.

    I own a kitchen remodel business which I run on my days off from my primary job (firefighter). Some young guys in their late teens at my church were looking for some extra cash. From time to time I would give them some work helping. I think because they knew me they would show up on time, but...

    $300 Billion in student loan "forgiven".... how generous

    My oldest is starting college, he’s not yet 18 but he has a plan (wants to be a nurse) and he is excited about it. Even starting at a junior college, the cost is substantial. Since he is our oldest, we are paying for his first semester. Now the medical field has determined a nursing degree...

    Are people (contractors) really this dumb?

    I own a kitchen remodeling/cabinetry business. I do nothing, ever, until I have a signed contract, and individually signed CAD drawings. The contract states exactly the work to be done and the drawings they sign shows exactly what the job will look like when complete. Any changes made mid-job...

    Arizona Primaries - not over yet! Of course not.

    I haven’t seen her address a couple things that I’d like to hear. The amount she contributed to Obama isn’t much at all, but it would be good to hear her explanation of what made her support him and what may have changed. She retweeted a never Trump-style tweet, again, not a big issue (and I was...

    Arizona Primaries - not over yet! Of course not.

    I read here everyday, haven’t posted in years. But, wanted to throw in here as an Az resident. 2020 election I voted in person, sharpie marker, bled through, no one cared. Was perplexed when Biden supposedly won, all you saw driving around was Trump signs, flags on homes and trucks, absolutely...

    Any thoughts on my drop in velocity?

    Well, using my Shooter app, inserting my dope from yesterday and comparing from previous range days, my velocity went from 2650 to 2500. I am not caught up on speed, just consistancy. I guess I will pull the ammo I just loaded, blend the lots I have and work it up again. I do have about 200...

    Any thoughts on my drop in velocity?

    Ok so I just pulled bullets and reweighed charges. I pulled several bullets from my old loads and several from the new loadss I put together sunday night. All of them were within .1gr of my target weight which is 44.5gr (close enough for my equipment and usage). I am all out of the cans of...

    Any thoughts on my drop in velocity?

    I rezeroed on saturday with some of my reloads from a different powder lot, other than that everything is the same. I gotta think I have a hitch in my powder weight somewhere. Got held long in a meeting tonight, will have to pull bullets tomorrow. thanks for the reply

    Any thoughts on my drop in velocity?

    Had a good but strange day shooting today and going through my notebook to compare dope, I am thoroughly confused. I loaded up 75 rounds of my pet load for my Savage, 44.5gr Varget with 178amax. Went out today and my dope was off, way off. My log book showed that in 11/13, I had 5.6 mil for...

    Best rifle data book.

    I have a Storm tactical book, good info and contents but I have since gone to a smaller rite in the rain book for 2 rifles, here is why: I didn't know what I was doing or I would have ordered the book with blank target pages, when you shoot different targets/target shapes my ocd wants the pages...

    Do you think they will go house to house in Connecticut?

    I was too young to be fully aware of the atmosphere when the AWB was on the horizon in the early 90's. I realize the internet wasn't what it is today so that would certainly hamper information exchange... I was wondering what the feel was during those times? Was it similar to what we are seeing...

    Peace Officers respond to open carry

    This thread has really brought out some thinkers- those who love calling cops pigs (marduk185 pure awesomeness) and now someone who can't make a good argument so starts talking about how law enforcement is getting fat (no doubt from all the doughnuts, right Jedi?) and need better fitness...

    Crazy video

    My simple complaint is the broad brush that is used to paint law enforcement in general. There are bad apples everywhere. No one said it is 1%, or 10%. There are cops who routinely go criminal in their behavior. My bigger point is easily made using an example- It is safe to say that all of us...

    Crazy video

    It is a shame there are no video clips of the good things officers do everyday. I assume I am being video taped every time I contact anyone, but it doesn't stop me from doing what needs to be done. Obviously these videos are extremes of cops behaving inappropriately, but lets remember this...

    Tactical Rifles v. Soulie et al

    Seeing as the bar has been set, why can't everyone who has been screwed by this company put together a counter suit and stick it to them?
