Good looking shotgun in the first pic! I am sure V.P. Joe Biden would be pleased with her selection of weapon for her protection.  ;)

Also, I appreciate her display of at least one "cross", and maybe two, around her neck!

Well, in consideration of Z's open support of a "Gun Lovers Thread" here on the forum, I thought it appropriate to change my avatar for a time, to indicate support, with Z, of our 2nd Amendment rights, as citizens of this United States of America.

While there may be differences of "opinion" regarding the subject of "guns", the 2nd Amendment of our Constitution is VERY clear, and affirmation of its statements for the right to "bear arms" has been clearly affirmed by the Supreme Court.

Meh... I'm kinda a swords and crossbow kinda guy :P

Nothing like a good 70lb pull Welsh Longbow

(http://www.armchairgeneral.com/wordpress/wp-content/features/2007/nov2007/23_WP_12_d_SPJ_arch01.jpg)

Remember the elves in Lord of the Ring?  A good bowmen can get off a lot of rounds in a few minutes.  There was a video on youtube showing what a longbow tipped with titanium points can do to Kevlar... oddly it was removed..

::)

But lets try it out on some 18 gauge steel  :D

1. The bows we are shooting are at the lower end of the poundage medieval archers would have used during the period that concerns us. The finds from the wreck of the Mary Rose prove that the medieval longbow used by the military archer, typically referred to as the Warbow, would more likely have been around 120lbs draw weight, and possibly more.

2. The heads on the arrows we are shooting have not been sharpened nor hardened, as was often the case in medieval times.

3. The carbon content of the steel we are shooting at is higher than the average medieval armour, and therefore tougher.

4. The armour of a medieval knight would have been thickest on the breastplate and the front of the helmet. To reduce weight the armour would have been thinner elsewhere. In this video we are therefore shooting directly at the areas of a knights armour that were specifically designed to resist the penetrative effects of an arrow. That they bounce off should come as no surprise, but note that every arrow penetrated up to half an inch before doing so.

And fitted with a broad-head, the arrow is extremely lethal. And the compound technology has drastically increased what a human is able to do with arrows. When shooting bullets, you need for bullets to expand when it strikes the target - - a broad-head is already "expanded" when you shoot it!

Z, that is a really nice pic of your "expartner". I would guess that he was a very good friend - he just looks like he would have been a great guy to be around!

Last night on local News... Gun Control being Considered in Nevada...
here are some of the proposals...

#1 Make dealers responsible if they sold a gun without proper checks if that person goes berserk and shoots people

#2 Increase licensing fee by $25.00

#3 Require gun owners to pay for their own background checks (around $500-750 last I checked)

#4 Allow kids on campus to carry

#5 Allow concealed weapons carry without extra permit

Nevada... Maverick State :D

And don't mess with John's wife... she packs a 45 :P  For varmints of course :D

even though they have the ammo tagged it 's the same thing..

Record Gun Sales in December, 2012

QuoteRecord gun sales were recorded in December 2012 with over 2.7 million background checks being conducted through the FBI's National Instant Check System (NICS), the agency said today. For 2012, more background checks were conducted than any year since 1998.

In December, 2,783,765 total background checks were carried out to purchase firearms, surpassing the previous record from November 2012 when 2,006,919 checks were performed.

For the year, 19,592,303 background checks carried out for firearm purchases–a 19 percent rise from 2011.

Each check doesn't represent a single gun, just a single background check transaction.

you wouldn't be the first to suspect that.
interesting crossbow pics,  have you actually tried to fish with that one?
i've shot longbows and recurves before but still prefer the letoff of a good compound.
i'm surprised it doesn't get mentioned more often as to what an arrow will do to kevlar,  it'll punch through easily at a higher draw weight  with a field point.
here's a pic of my current rig.

Well in mt time period the Longbow and Medieval crossbow are my options :P but yeah modern bows pack a punch and are a lot easier on the arm for prolonged use.

As to the Kevlar piercing... there used to be many videos on you tube showing that, then one day they just vanished...

Odd that 

::)

Yeah baby!!!

City looks to make gun ownership mandatory

(http://media.cmgdigital.com/shared/lt/lt_cache/thumbnail/610/img/photos/2013/03/05/ba/fc/NelsonGuns1.jpg)

Quote By John Bachman

NELSON, Ga. —

Every homeowner in a local town could soon have to own a gun or break the law. It's a controversial new plan for the city of Nelson.

Leaders told Channel 2's John Bachman the reason they need the law is because the city straddles Cherokee county to the south and Pickens County to the north.

That, they said, can lead to slower response times.

One police officer patrols Nelson, Georgia for eight hours during the day. That leaves 16 hours overnight when the city is basically unguarded.

"When he's not here we rely on county sheriffs--however it takes a while for them to get here," said Nelson City Councilman Duane Cronic.

That's why Cronic proposed the ordinance.

"Every head of household will own and maintain a firearm," he said.

Bill McNiff lives in Nelson, carries a pistol and supports the law.

"I think every city should do it. I think it should go countywide too," McNiff said.

The Nelson ordinance is modeled closely after the 1982 law passed in Kennesaw.

2nd Amendment Preservation Act Passes Utah House, 49-17

(http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/28998_10151284567075764_567987407_n.jpg)

QuoteSALT LAKE CITY (March 8, 2013) – In Salt Lake City this morning, the Utah State House of Representatives voted to nullify all federal gun laws, rule, regulations and orders on firearms, firearm accessories and ammunition.

House Bill 114 (HB114), introduced by Representative Brian Greene state, in part:

An officer or employee of the federal government may not enforce or attempt to enforce any federal statute, order, rule, or regulation relating to the intrastate ownership, possession, sale, or transfer of a personal firearm, a firearm accessory, ammunition, or ammunition component.

The Utah House passed the bill by a vote of 49-17 (see how reps voted here)

HB114 also takes the strong constitutional position that laws which are contrary to the 2nd Amendment are no law at all:

    finds that a federal statute, regulation, rule, or order that has the purpose, intent, or effect of confiscating or banning any firearm, firearm accessory, limiting the capacity of a firearm magazine, imposing any limitation on ammunition or an ammunition component, or requiring the registration of any firearm or ammunition infringes on the right of citizens of Utah to keep and bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 6 of the Utah Constitution.

Alexander Hamilton proclaimed the same when he wrote the following in Federalist #78:

    "Every act of a delegated authority contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act, therefore, contrary to the constitution, can be valid."

The bill takes the extremely important step in a full prohibition on all state and local enforcement of federal gun laws, rules, regulations or orders on firearms, accessories and ammunition owned or manufactured in the state (read: all)

    An officer or employee of this state, or of any political subdivision, may not enforce, attempt to enforce, or be compelled to enforce any federal statute, order, rule, or  regulation relating to the intrastate ownership, possession, sale, or transfer of a personal firearm, a firearm accessory, ammunition, or ammunition component.

Chicago is an 'Urban War Zone'...complete with corruption (uhhh...Jesse Jackson, Jr. ring a bell?)...Mayor Richard Daley (read the book..."The Boss"??).

A gun for every home? Maine town to vote on mandatory firearm ownership


http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/03/11/17266443-a-gun-for-every-home-maine-town-to-vote-on-mandatory-firearm-ownership?lite=


By Sarah Mahoney, Reuters
Residents of a Maine town are expected to vote Monday on whether each household should be required to own a firearm, a decision that has thrust the tiny town of Byron into the heated national debate on gun control.

The vote is scheduled to take place on Monday evening in a potentially rancorous annual town meeting for the western Maine town's 140 residents and will be largely symbolic.

The town's head selectman says the vast majority of households in Byron already have at least one gun, and a requirement to possess guns and ammunition would be unenforceable because Maine law bars municipalities from legislating on firearms.

"It was never my intention to force anyone to own a gun who doesn't want to. My purpose was to make a statement in support of the Second Amendment (to the U.S. Constitution)," said Head Selectman Anne Simmons-Edmund, who proposed the ordinance.

FORBES: 1.6 Billion Rounds Of Ammo For Homeland Security? It's Time For A National Conversation

(http://libertycrier.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/stop-bullets.jpg)

Quote The Denver Post, on February 15th, ran an Associated Press article entitled Homeland Security aims to buy 1.6b rounds of ammo, so far to little notice.  It confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security has issued an open purchase order for 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition.  As reported elsewhere, some of this purchase order is for hollow-point rounds, forbidden by international law for use in war, along with a frightening amount specialized for snipers. Also reported elsewhere, at the height of the Iraq War the Army was expending less than 6 million rounds a month.  Therefore 1.6 billion rounds would be enough to sustain a hot war for 20+ years.  In America.

Add to this perplexing outré purchase of ammo, DHS now is showing off its acquisition of heavily armored personnel carriers, repatriated from the Iraqi and Afghani theaters of operation.  As observed by "paramilblogger" Ken Jorgustin last September:

    [T]he Department of Homeland Security is apparently taking delivery (apparently through the  Marine Corps Systems Command, Quantico VA, via the manufacturer – Navistar Defense LLC) of an undetermined number of the recently retrofitted 2,717 'Mine Resistant Protected' MaxxPro MRAP vehicles for service on the streets of theUnited States."

    These MRAP's ARE BEING SEEN ON U.S. STREETS all across America by verified observers with photos, videos, and descriptions."

    Regardless of the exact number of MRAP's being delivered to DHS (and evidently some to POLICE via DHS, as has been observed), why would they need such over-the-top vehicles on U.S. streets to withstand IEDs, mine blasts, and 50 caliber hits to bullet-proof glass? In a war zone... yes, definitely. Let's protect our men and women. On the streets of America... ?"

    ...

    "They all have gun ports... Gun Ports? In the theater of war, yes. On the streets of America...?

    Seriously, why would DHS need such a vehicle on our streets?"

Why indeed?  It is utterly inconceivable that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is planning a coup d'etat against President Obama, and the Congress, to install herself as Supreme Ruler of the United States of America.  There, however, are real signs that the Department bureaucrats are running amok.  About 20 years ago this columnist worked, for two years, in the U.S. Department of Energy's general counsel's office in its procurement and finance division.  And is wise to the ways.   The answer to "why would DHS need such a vehicle?" almost certainly is this:  it's a cool toy and these (reportedly) million dollar toys are being recycled, without much of a impact on the DHS budget.  So...why not?

Alaska Just Nullified Unconstitutional Gun Control Laws

(http://www.capitalisminstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/teapartyfreedom-150x150.jpg)

QuoteThe 49th state to join the Union has become the second to successfully traverse the perilous waters of nullification. In a sweeping reform, the state of Alaska has deemed that rights of the citizenry guaranteed under the state and national constitutions will no longer be ignored or side-stepped by an over-zealous federal government.

Utilizing the Tenth Amendment — which protects the rights of states to do whatever the federal government can't do — Alaska has completely cut funding to a number of unconstitutional and illegal federal programs, including programs that violate the Second Amendment. This means enforcing those laws in Alaska is now essentially impossible.

Utilizing the Tenth Amendment, which articulates that states withhold any rights not exclusively mentioned in the constitution, Alaska has opted to effectively neutralize a number of arguably tyrannical federal mandates. House Bill 69 offers a number of protections to the citizens of Alaska within the realm of the second amendment. It also offers protection against the federal government's power to indefinitely detain citizens.
