I was given this gun last week by a friend from church who knows that I enjoy guns and shooting. It is an Iver Johnson 32 caliber black powder cartridge revolver. Top break. I traced the serial # and it was made in 1896! I took it apart as it did not work to see what is wrong. I found that...
There are some good answers here and I agree with them. I would like to add what I have done in my own garage. I moved the air compressor into a small shed like you can buy at any big box store. Just big enough, these sheds are usually used to hold a mower or some garden tools. This moves...
I guess this is why my wife has a smaller "travel" dryer that is easier to pack. It also can serve as a back-up in an "emergency". My hair dries as fast as my face.....not much to worry about;)
One more quick story. I often grabbed a shotgun and hunted the woods behind our house. i would walk for miles and then emerge on a street. I then would hitchhike home. (Try that today!) A Lake County LEO in a marked car picked me up and took me home one day. Now they would call a swat...
I got a Daisy BB gun around 7 yrs old as a gift from mom and dad. We set up a range in the basement with a tarp for a backdrop. For my 10th Christmas I received a Crosman CO2 pistol that looked like a 911 and a Crosman 760 rifle along with a moving target "box" that again got set up in the...
The "Region" is not a bad place to live. There are jobs here...I always said that it smells like money, cause many people don't care for the smell of industries like BP, Arcelor Mittal, US Steel, Lever Bros., Cargill, and about a thousand smaller chemical plants. South end of the region is...
The Region votes the same as Chicago. Lake County is primarily Democratic and remains that way because of the 3 cities mentioned. We are the only county in the state that does not impose an income tax on ourselves. This could change! We have always had enough taxes from the big industries to...
WOW! This guy was really thinking and I hope that some politico doesn't latch on to this. Imagine a chip being implanted in every new gun. Not so far fetched! That gun could be tracked and identified by GPS. The government could even demand that all existing firearms have a chip installed...
Took a ride to Cabelas today. Still lots of buyers and lookers. I didn't check on new guns, but went through the library. It was pretty well picked over! Last month there were at least 12 used ARs...none today. The prices on the handguns did not seem out of line (at least for Cabelas)...
I am new. I would like to reach 50 posts just so that I could purchase if I choose. I don't really want to sell anything. I "found" this forum when I googled a gun that I was looking for. I saw some good deals here, but could not purchase. I also found that I like the forum! Lots of great...
Because I very seldom CC, I consider my guns to be recreational tools. I go to the range 1-3x a month for the pleasure of shooting. My motorcycles are also for recreation, although they are often used as transportation. There are rules to follow and thought processes that need to be...
Have a Life time License and yet, I seldom carry. When asked why, tell people that there would be bodies everywhere as I negotiate traffic in the region. Not really true, but there are a lot of places that I visit that do not allow firearms on their site. One less thing to worry about.
I am always amazed at the respect and well thought out answers that our military personnel use. Our country does such a great job of teaching young men and women discipline and respect when they enter the military. They give up family, home, money to serve and they always seem to be much...
