Compound movements, like squats, deadlifts, presses, cleans, rows, chin/pullups, will give you the most bang for your buck and maximize your gym time. Avoid machines and rely on free weights. A machine can never replicate the body's natural motion, and moving heavy weight in space is good for the "core". I disagree with any theory that something like a smith machine is somehow better or safer than doing the same exercise with a barbell.

On handgun vs long gun: a handgun allows you to keep one hand free at all times. Whether to hold a light, manipulate a doorknob, grab a spouse/child's arm and lead them somewhere. Something to think about.

http://www.odcmp.com/Sales/m1garand.htm http://www.odcmp.com/Sales/eligibility.htm Meet the eligibility requirements and order a service grade from the CMP. They're the best bang for your buck right now, and these are the "good old days" where you can get a quality M1 for a good price. Expect prices to shoot up in one or two years when the CMP runs out of rifles and private sales take over the market.

If at all possible, try to see both parents first. Trust your gut with the breeder and don't be afraid to be skeptical; they're business people when it boils down to it. My family dealt with a local breeder who boasted about all their champion lineage, but ended up with a dog who had problems his entire life.

S&W 4506. DA/SA Very underrated series of guns.

Article states that he repeatedly violated restraining orders and was jailed on two felony charges. He's scheduled to be released at the end of June. This is what's wrong with the system. Can the church get any more hypocitical? They claim to have open arms and to help the poor and downtrodden, yet kick this poor woman to the curb. Disgusting.

I think some other videos need to be made. What if Ed killed the guy he shot? Would it still be okay? Where is the video of a woman defending herself against a rapist with a musket and missing? What about limiting freedom of speech, search/seizure protection, and jury trials, since technology and the population have changed?

I'm not as concerned about other drivers as I am about the welfare of my truck when it's unattended in a parking lot.

Any time I explain to someone the current redundancies with the FPID card and the handgun purchase permits, THEN the "instant" background check at the point of sale, they stare for a second and say "well, that's stupid!" Continue to educate as many people as possible.

"Integrity is what you do when no one is looking." That said... I understand the thought process. It's easy to say "do the right thing" or "it's not yours, so you're stealing." What makes it difficult is living an honest life, telling the truth, returning missing property, etc etc, all the while watching dishonest people reap benefits left and right. I don't think 9 out of 10 people expect their wallet to be returned with money in it. Doing the right thing is harder today than it used to be. I feel like having character and honor puts someone at a disadvantage these days.

In my experience with antis that are close to me, (family, friends, co-workers) not bringing up the issue myself has gone a long way. Once they found out I was "a gun person," what seemed to have the most impact from then on was that yes, I owned guns, I wasn't a crazy asshat like their pre-conceived notions of "gun people". I answer questions if they come up, I talk about it if they start the convo, but I don't try to force anything on them or use any opening I can find to start a debate. I've had some good, civil debates on 2A that were very productive... when they were open to having a chat. IMHO, looking for any opportunity to jump on an anti for their beliefs and backing them into a corner can do more harm than good.

^ ^ ^ This right here. The window-lickers in the comments section have no clue.

My Redskins did well without a 1st rounder this year, getting a new target for RG3, change-of-pace RBs to compliment Morris (including the guy from Rutgers), and getting secondary help. NFC East, prepare Uranus.

CMP's eligibility requirements; http://www.odcmp.com...eligibility.htm Joining the Garand Collector's Association satisfies the club membership. On marksmanship related activity:: "Completion of a Hunter Safety Course that included live fire training." or "Certification from range or club official or law enforcement officer witnessing shooting activity. A form for use in completing and certifying your range firing can be downloaded from the CMP web site" It appears that a hunter's ed class would work, or you can print out the form and ask a R.O. (on a slow day) to check the boxes and sign it for you. If you're at all interested in getting an M1, don't drag your feet. These will be known as the "good old days" when you could mail-order M1's from a great company for a great price. I'm not looking forward to what the Garand market will look like after the CMP is sold out...

I have the standard CZ 712 non-utility with the 26" barrel. The only problem I have is finding aftermarket parts and accessories. I'd just like a synthetic stock set and a shell deflector... can't find either.

You're right, but I need to narrow it down to the ones it will have the most effect on. Can't afford to just throw stuff at the wall hoping something will stick.

Before the panic hit, I had almost convinced some mildly anti-gun friends to come to a range with me on my dime and give shooting a try. Now that's on the back burner because I don't know if I can replace what I shoot. My once weekly range trips have turned into once a month. I have HPs for the 9mm, some 30-06 for the Garand, and a few boxes of match ammo for my AR NMA2, but everything else is down to a box or two. I'm not comfortable "wasting" anything at the moment.

Famous last words...

Looks like the media machine got to me and I jumped to a conclusion. I should have known better. Apologies. I'll give those out in the lot the benefit of the doubt. Is there any new published information about this incident?

That's messed up... but who the F sits around waiting for a shooting scene to be cleaned up so they can use the lanes? Seriously???

^ This. Grass seed + hay + diesel for the transport bus = a helluva lot less than $60k.

I used to use disposables, even the mach-whatevers + shave gel and was perfectly happy... that is, until I went on a friend's advice and bought a merkur safety razor, good blades, soap, and a brush. Now a brand new disposable razor feels like my safety razor with a two-week old blade. Not to mention new blades, even good ones, are dirt cheap compared to buying those ridiculous multi-blade disposable cartridges. My shaves are comfortable, enjoyable, and relaxing now. I think the bare minimum is a good brush (not from wally-world) and some decent soap and a mug. It makes a difference. Then ask for a merkur razor and blade variety-pack for xmas or your birthday.

He delivers a good speech. Can he debate?
