A forearm across the throat doesn't really count as a punch, does it? I've been three years since I actually punched anybody, and I really don't think this should count.
Some people asked me to move this question from ask the experts.I was asking what was thought of the Colt 1991 A1.i got very few replies and they were all positive.I have seen other people ask about thoughts on different firearms and they got several pos. and neg. answers about the firearm.I posted the ? twice and got only a few answers all pos.Most any weapon has faults that someone doesnt like.Thats what I would like to hear.I am not looking for 100 answers just a small crossview.Maybe posters on this site like colts so much they wont say neg things about them.There has got to be something someone doesnt like about them and that could be a reason for me not to buy.
got a question on the sure shot bullets. I have a few that someone gave me for a 9mm. Basically just a little shotgun type of bullet (w/ little bb's in it) I haven't fired one through it because...well I just don't won't it to mess up my gun. Have any of you guys shot one through one of your guns?

Why does the US has so many bases out in the world? Germany, Japan, Greenland or is it Iceland, Korea (I understand. unfinished business) and others. Is it because of N.A.T.O.? If so why aren't there British bases in US? Or even a French base in California [:D]?
To me it basically reminds me of Roman days but globally. I just don't see the need to keep occupying places like in Okinawa. I mean Korea is just up a ways and there is a reason for being there.
So if someone would be kind to let me know why I'd be greatful [;)].
...Always wear my glasses, but never ear protection when hunting. I don't know why, but I've never even heard the report or felt recoil when hunting. I think the senses are tuned or focused on eyesight at the time. That's not to say that ear damage isn't being done.
I don't. I was just thinking about it though. I never wear glasses or hearing protection while hunting. Half the time I don't wear it when I'm out shooting. Of course, if I bring out something bigger than a .22, I do wear my hearing protection. But, I figure a few shots every year without hearing protection ain't gonna hurt. Probably have more damage done to my hearing at work using the impact than I do from shooting.
No to both... I'm hunting not shooting. When and if I do pull the trigger its usually only once.
You could confidently retire that question to the don't be ridiculous awards ceremony...

How funny. I am the same way as for not hearing the report or feeling recoil. My dad says I am nut and he can sure feel and hear it. All that registers in my minds eye is the animal hitting the ground and me bolting the next round and holding steady to make sure it doesn't twitch again.
I don't wear ear protection hunting but I always wear my Oakleys.
I think the difference is occasional shot verses repeated shooting. A bolt action rifle throws no trash, so you don't really need the glasses for it.
I don't wear hearing protection while hunting or sighting in the firearms.
In my limited experience while shooting while hunting, I don't hear much of the report.
Where I generally sight in my firearms, there is a pavilion like area w/benches. The report off the muzzle hits the roof/joists and comes right back at you. Sometimes the bigger bores tend to leave your ears ringing.
I have sighted in quarries and never felt/heard much of the report either.
You'll be sorry when you get older if you don't wear ear protection now. If you're shoot big calibers, e.g., 30.06, you should have double ear protection. Shooting will damage your hearing. A hot spent casing ejected into your eye doesn't feel too good either.
ear plugs for shooting nothing for hunting except hood or cold weather gear on my head, I once shot a friend of mine's 30 06 M1 garand with a muzzle break without hearing protection sweetest shooting 06 I ever shot but sure was hard on the ears ringing for a week lesson learned the hard way always wear hearing protection now for shooting the bad part is the damage cannot be undone in this life
I have the constant ringing in my head too (Tinnitus), but I blame it more on engine noise than the guns, especially that damn-ed GE LM1500. Sometimes it's so bad it drowns out the voices.
My ears have been ringing for over forty years, since I was a kid and some lousy dirty rat bastid invited me to shoot his big bolt action rifle. Called it "Nitro Express" something or other ... 460, 470, something like that.
Knocked me on my *, cut my eye on the scope and broke the gun. Well, the concrete it fell on broke it, to be perfectly accurate about it.
Yeah, I always wear eye and ear protection at the range. I wear sunglasses when out in the countryside too. Otherwise I don't worry about it too much.
We forgot our hearing protection today...ended up stuffing napkins in our ears...we looked kind of funny with napkins hanging out of both sides of our head.

I have done that a couple of times. Bought an extra pair for my bag in case I don't have the gun that my ear plugs are in. Of course that didn't even help last time I went out. Left the bag in and the gun sitting in the garage.
As far as what nosleep said about the one shot, I don't hunt big game (to lazy) but I do hunt rabbit and quail so there is always more than one shot.

I think that's the assessment we are looking for: when hunting, one will probably take ONE shot, maybe a handful if you are lucky at finding prey and are set on bagging a bunch.
At the range you may be putting hundreds of round downrange in a day...and if its public, there's other people shooting as well. Damage is much greater due to the volume of loud noises.

Thanks Ron
What does he mean by that? Google has nothing.

But I posted and answer to jpwolf's post.
He states that homosexuality is learned, a choice or lifestyle, if you will, and that it can be "unlearned".
I say it is inate, you are born gay, and that's that. You can't change that fact.
waht do YOU think
Please, leave the Bible verses and the religion bashing at the door, I just want a simple answer, so this will not get locked or poofed.

Electronic ear muffs and I wear glasses.

I wear this for the protection and intimidation factor.
Can I get one in camo?
When I was young, I was full of stuffing too and didn't want to wear hearing protection. I have constant ringing in my ears now because of it.
Electronic muffs are the best. Buy them or you too will get to know how damn annoying the constant ringing IS.
