Thanks for the replies. My main thoughts were to have a good strap and the right ammo for the job. I originally bought a 5 round mag with the gun, but apparently there are no mag capacity restrictions in AZ anymore. I'll probably still use it although perhaps I'll bring the 10 rounder as well...

When I bought my Armalite 5.56 quite a few years ago, I intended to use it at least occasionally for hunting. Mostly javelina, and maybe calling in a coyote or for whitetail. Hell, maybe even the big antelope jacks in southern AZ... I make a mean jackrabbit chili. To make a short story long...

One of the first people to contact me has put a deposit down on the Tacoma. Things moved fast. As of now my truck is on hold and spoken for until the final payout transacts in late December. I know some of you were interested and I will definitely keep you in the loop in this falls through for...

Just got back from a nice squirrel/trout 4x4 recon in the AZ high country: I have a box of random odds and ends (magnaflow muffler, spark plugs, spare CV, other minor misc items) that goes with the truck. Please ask any further questions or specific pic requests!

Took a few pics today but the lighting (and my camera) wasn't great. And no point is dressing her up... what you see is what you get. She's not a beauty, but it'll do the hard jobs and then some. Perfect budget adventure vehicle. Someone asked about the white thing in the...

* TRUCK IS ON HOLD AND SPOKEN FOR. I WILL UPDATE ANY CHANGES AS THEY OCCUR BETWEEN NOW AND LATE DECEMBER * I will be putting my truck up for sale in December, but I thought I'd float a preview here now for potential buyers and update it later! 2000 Tacoma SR5 TRD 4x4 Access Cab: $5000 225k...

Interesting topic. I have an old and worn 30-30 that I always imagined would be a good brush gun / saddle gun, so I actually started carrying it around in my Tacoma adventures for a while. After a few years I decided having a truck gun didn't make a lot of sense for me anymore.

This is what I love, just exploring and having a good old time (with a little stress thrown in) ;)

It might. I am not for mandates or anything like that, but what I would like to see are more districts that embrace citizenship education... and with those districts that have a desire, to include some basic 2nd Amendment related education. I don't have a master plan of what that would look...

I don't see anything particularly wrong with this. Schools touch on a lot of basic safety issues for young kids, I don't see why cursory firearm education couldn't happen. It might even remove some of this stigmas attached to guns in general. It's a right that's in the US Constitution and I...

Freedom of press is simply a logical consequence and corollary of freedom of speech, and deserves its own mentioning for clarity. But I totally agree with your latter point about education... we need serious, authentic citizenship education and training in the US, with firearm education being a...

lol, what difference does it make if you have to study for it? Are you saying that because you have to study for it, it can't be symbolic? I don't want to derail the thread, but your insistence on the relevance of this test is odd. 92% of the people who take the citizenship test pass on the...

Agreed. A good case study is the Rwanda genocide, instigated mostly by inflammatory radio propaganda. 500,000+ killed, and barely a gun to be seen.

While reasonable discussion can occur regarding when one person's rights infringe on another, you are confusing constitutional rights and unalienable. They are basically the same, with constitutional rights basically being codified protection of that higher law.

I think you're comparing apples to oranges because exercising liberties outlined in the Bill of Rights applies to everyone, not just citizens. Besides, the citizenship test can be passed by anyone with an 8th grade education and a day's prep... it's more symbolic than anything.

I really don't care if someone is armed. It's the people who are shooting irresponsibly that annoy me.

The anti-gun crowd needs to accept the simple fact that the cat is out of the bag... and has been for 200+ years. It's our culture, our tradition, part of who we are, and enshrined into the Constitution. There's no going back from here. The anti-gun crowd also needs to accept the simple fact...

I think a lot of it basically comes down to personal experience and preference. Those that grew up around guns, use them often, and are very comfortable around them are more likely to pack a firearm versus bear spray. This probably applies to most other situations that involve a decision to...

Very cool, nice. I love that area too.

Not me. But I just finished up several days of dove shooting -always great fun- and squirrel is right around the corner, then deer in November... and then I'll settle in for some quail (and maybe rabbit) in December. If I'm feeling it, I might try and call in a coyote this winter as well. Oh...
