Woopie, WOW.....Woopie.

Neat!

Here's a gun pic for you. This is an AK seized from Somali pirates.

For the life of me, I can't understand why they don't arm merchant vessels - none of the reasons I've read so far pass my common sense test.

It would be good employment for people like myself, in the winter months only. Hell, I would do it for room and board, and to avoid shoveling snow, and falling on my butt.... "HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL" yea, it was before most of you were born.

Lee Marvin-decorated, wounded in Pacific, Capt. Kangaroo - was with Lee Marvin also decorated, Mr. Rodgers - SEAL during Nam, 25 confirmed kills and probably others back when fighting for the USA wasn't a dirty phrase.

Not a "Hollywood Type," but still .........

Ex-NFL Star Tillman makes ‘Ultimate Sacrifice’

I think his picture SHOULD be in the dictionary next to the word HERO. About as close to a real life John Wayne as there ever will be.

Yeah, but we've got a social group called Knife Nutz. The gun folks got jealous.

[crashdive123]

Not sure what you're saying WillDeerborn, but maybe if you go to the Introduction section and tell us about yourself, I'll be able to figure it out. http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...splay.php?f=14
