What is your "just because" gun? The one you want that you can't really justify for any purpose at all. The one that may be inferior to everything else you already own, may be obsolete, or cumbersome. The one that people look at and might say "Why did you buy that?!" I have a bunch! Bet you guys do also. For rifles with me it is some sort of falling-block action. Several are intriguing. A Ruger No.1 in .30-06 with open sights, a quality Remington falling-block replica, one of the new Steven's Favorite .22 rifles, a Sharps replica in something AWESOME like .45-110! Carbines...just one remembered some others. Iver Johnson made a M-1 Carbine for a year or two in stainless steel. I could settle for one of the M-1 Carbines converted to 9mm Magnum. A Class 3 Uzi in .45acp too. Pistols...where to start! Either or both of an AMT 1911 Hardballer Longslide (.45acp) or Javelina Longslide (10mm). A break-top .22 revolver like the old H&R 999. Rossi also has a break-action .22 double barrel pistol. What about shotguns? Just a couple. A CZ Bobwhite in 28guage, 26" barrels. And a custom-fit double SxS costing $80,000. Just because. Jon

If a person is getting a good 3 o'clock ejection when it does, is it still a gas issue? Jon

Anyone been to a gem and mineral show? Tucson has a large one every year, said to be the largest in the world. http://tgms.org I haven't been to the main event show, held in the Tucson Community Center, in a couple of decades. They have some unique formations though that boggle the mind! Jon

http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/01/if-you-are-an-nra-member-this-gun-control-bill-was-put-forward-in-your-name/ Didn't see anything mentioning the NRA Members Gun Safety Act prior to this. Scumbag politicos. Jon

That shotgun-ammo video got me to thinking. The first shots he fires, he lowers the shotgun to cycle the slide each time: This is a very common practice and can be seen with all manual types of actions on longarms...bolt-, pump/slide-, and lever-actions. Back in corrections in '97, tired of my shotgun quals sucking it (always passed but the score was unsatisfactory), I set out to learn why. Not even sure of the source anymore, as those were pre-internet days for me. At any rate, it was discovered that keeping the weapon mounted to your shoulder while cycling the action does a couple of things for the shooter. It helps you to maintain your consistency of position shot-to-shot. It allows you to stay focused on your target, which in turn allows faster followup shots. While I initially learned this for the pump shottys at the prison, it was relearned for the lever-action rifles. Watch how the Cowboy Action shooters speed shoot: Bolt-action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92Wrv_vpP4Y Pump: And just for entertainment: Jon

Hey! Now it is there! Jon

When I watched it there was nothing but ad. Jon

Welcome from AZ cliffg! Jon

Sweet! Will your truck be working? Mine is coming apart today. Don't know what your truck is spreading. Feb 16 works better all the way around! Jon

You're still thinking like an American. Pump 'em up (several at once), then when they are all 8 months and 3 weeks preggers, drive over to Nogales, Sonora, and climb the fence. After doing a 400 yard sprint to induce labor and giving birth in a U.S. hospital, you won't have to pay one red cent. Just make sure the women keep saying "Hi. No habla ingles." Or "Fucky sucky?" with an Irish accent. Jon

And into D.C. http://news.yahoo.com/blimps-bolster-washingtons-air-shield-test-204629886--finance.html Typical press release blather but why do those in Washington feel the need to boost air defenses there, NOW? While removing them from the border. From the comments below the article: "Obama is a genius. We sell Egypt some of our best jets. Then we protect ourselves with the Hindenburg. Brilliant." Jon

Is the second 2nd Amendment march date! I'm still going. MikedaddyH said he was meeting me too. Who's riding up with me? Jon

Well I volunteer to be on the breeding squad. Who has the sales pitch for my wife? Jon

Went to the range and shot the rifle that >:D tempted me into buying! Not really a bolt-guy but DANG it that was fun! Need to get a set of Tech Sights for it. Shot the Marlin 795 today too...would've qualified with the new Tech Sights on it! Jon

Where do you think they are going to move us via "extrordinary rendetion"? <laughs> Jon

Handful? You're doing it wrong. <laughs> I lost more than a few spewing "Obama and Holder tried to FRAME the American gun owners, by running guns to Mexico and blaming the deaths on Americans! This racist administration feels it is ok to kill a bunch of Mexicans to further their agenda, and if they don't speak out against it, their supporters are Mexican-hating RACISTS too!" Damn racists. Jon

"When you collect brass but you don't reload." <laughs> Jon

"Maybe I should get into revolvers. They don't need mags." <lmao> Tube-fed Mossy 930 Mein Führer! <laughs> Jon

HEY!! If you're going to censor my post, at least use proper grammar! It is "a Swollen Rectum", not "an Swollen Rectum". Grammar Nazi

Of course he was: http://weaselzippers.us/2013/01/31/nra-vindicated-armed-guard-stop-school-shooter-after-he-opens-fire-on-classmates/ Jon

No nonsense. From someone that placed all their faith in government. And negotiations collapsed into chaos. http://sovietoutpost.revdisk.org/?p=72 Jon

A guy that used to work with me won't talk to me anymore. Has something to do with hammering nonstop on Obama's drone strikes, keeping Guantanamo open, F&F (you're killing your fellow hispanics!), and demanding an answer to "How is FORCING me to BUY insurance benefitting anyone but a big corporation? May as well have given Bush 4 terms!" <lmao> Don't know why he thinks I'm an center of uranus. Jon

I hear that a lot. Never experienced it personally but hear it enough to know it is true. I only go in for "used deal sweeps". They have the largest used inventory around, hands down. Jon

When I click on that youtube link, it takes me to a commercial for an online college or something. Jon

Does the degree come blasing out the barrel or is it something you apply for when the case is gone? <dontknow> Jon
