My daughter's first shoot

Up until last week my 21 year old daughter and her friends showed zero interest in my love of firearms, hunting or shooting, and in fact, it had become a joke in my house that dad's become a gun nut. I said "until last week". Friday my daughter (a 3rd year college student) contacted me and said that she and her long time friend were interested in looking into getting handgun permits. As you can guess, I was eager to give them the opportunity to give shooting a try, especially since I have gained so much enjoyment from it over the years, and I feel so strongly about the vital importance of the Second Amendment...

Dances with Wolves

It's taken me about 21 years to finally get around to see this film. There were some excellent Civil War scenes that you will enjoy if you're a Civil War buff like I am. The reason that I'm posting this is because Kevin Costner's rifle is a Civil War Henry. Here's a LINK to the movie, a shot I took off the screen and another the I found on the web. It's a movie worth watching, though I doubt it's very factual. They portray both the Native American Indian and the White Man as having both good and bad, until the movie's end. American soldiers are then portrayed as total idiotic barbarians who shoot wolves while laughing like drunken sailors who can't hit the broad side of a barn. They literally wipe their backsides with art and fine literature, while the Indians are portrayed as sensitive, peaceful and fun-loving people who want nothing more than to smoke their peace pipes and make love. I found the liberal bias to be nothing short of revolting. I recommend watching the film until you see the Costner shooting the buffalo with the Henry. Then turn it off.
