John, I almost let you have the last word on this (and you may well yet have it) but I just can't ignore your last post. Most Southern soldiers were not slave owners, I believe that has been...

Excellent post and history John!
My people (let me qualify, my father's direct lineage) were poor sharecroppers. My Great great Grandfather took his 4 eldest boys off to serve in August 1861,...
Edited-just dropped it all, it was a pointless rant. I'll never forget the bravery of my ancestors, and I'll never forget their sacrifices. I'm sure you northern boys feel the same way.
May the...
I guess you never heard of "Point Lookout" or "Ft. Delaware" either, did you John? Both sides carry guilt for neglect of POWs. However, the South bears no guilt for her intent in the war, she just...
American Legion - 10 years this July. Joined after I saw the Honor Guard do military rites at a neighbor's funeral. I would like to be involved in that after I retire from my present occupation, if...
Found these in my local pawn shop Saturday. Any of you Squid types seen them before? Know any details? Know what a "burships" is? These were made the year my Granddad entered active service with...
I think I saw this asked on the old Jouster page before, but wouldn't begin to know how to locate that, so I'll ask here again...
An older friend of mine gave me a "clip of WWII (.30-'06) ammo"...
I don't see how that seller can sleep at night... Just off hand, I note that the stock has been "repaired" all the way across the butt (backward arisaka maybe?), stock is sanded and stripped, and...
Sure hope you will show us the finished product Chuck!
ATFE has already stopped gun sales at local flea markets here in my hometown. Now signs are posted at flea markets, "NO GUNS". Fact. That's all I've got to say about that.
1963?

Just kidding, didn't anyone else notice the first photo was inverted? Ya'll usually catch all the details, now a rookie gets to point one out! :super:
Cool pictures, thanks for sharing!
Sid,
I'm truly sorry to hear your story. I've sold a few guns through a local auctioneer for the last two years (one sale each year). They charge the same as you indicated, 15% and that's that...
"And, before you ask, I went to church today, just like every Sunday."
Personally, I wouldn't dream of asking, I fully support the 1st amendment too. I was just curious. People who claim the...
"religious nut job"
funny, I didn't see any indication of religion in the original post. How did you determine this fellow's religious affiliation and/or obsession? And, I completely fail to see...
"Colleges should be liberal"
Was that sarcasm? All the liberals I know are far more indoctrinated than conservatives and pretty well incapable of exchange of ideas. But that's just around these...
I was StevieC on Culver's page, but I grew up some and am now just SteveC. Looking forward to intellectual exchanges with you all!
