    A rallying point for Pro-Gun liberals

    Everyone, Many months ago, soon after the birth of USACarry.com, I started a thread where I talked about my support of the 2nd amendment as a liberal. It's still filed in the 2nd amendment forum, under "Left liberal socialist pinkos" I believe. Anyway, as a result of the feedback I gained, I...

    ishi says hello

    Hi everybody. My wife and I have recovered pretty well from our car accident, although I probably won't ever go on long hikes in the woods again. The doctors rebuilt my heel and I can walk on it fine in a normal everyday sort of way. Running or jogging isn't possible though, and I can only...

    Finally out of the hospital

    Favorite Gun-saturated video games

    I know we've got a lot of old farts in here, but I know there are enough folks from the Atari generation that some people have favorite games. I played Rainbow Six: Vegas for several months before tiring of it. The multiplayer was enjoyable, but it did get old eventually. The gun models were...

    Don't taze me, sonny?

    Here's an interesting one: Chicago police Link Removedwho was swinging a hammer. Sure, swinging a hammer at cops is a bad idea... I have to wonder how hard is it to disarm a 82-year old? I don't know, maybe she was a very sprightly octogenarian? :confused:

    Doom 'n Gloom

    This is ishi's Doom 'n Gloom thread. Oil prices just hit $94 and they're climbing higher every day. US refinery capacities are at their limit, no new refineries are being built, and any drop in production means huge spikes in Gas prices. The Canadian dollar is worth $1.07 US and our...

    Zombie attack preparadness

    Maybe reloading with oak-tipped FMJ would do for the vampires. The really cool thing is that the oak bullets will catch ablaze when shot, so you are shooting flaming oak bullets through the vampires. Remember, PLACEMENT IS EVERYTHING! Link Removed Werewolves are easy to deal with; just...
