Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Lord, I can’t even imagine having one
Now that takes a strong woman! Man, oh man!
Broncos Country:
I live in AZ but I’m from Colo. AZ is the Wild West!! Believe me the right to bear arms was meant for sport or to protect yourself and your family! It’s the type of so said “arms” that comes into question here IMO!
How many do you want to own and the type of weapon is up to and the right of every American! With that said I have an old Ithaca 20 gage shot gun I got when I turned 14. Had to do to a safety class in Arvada! Great for pheasant and rabbits and doves! Good for skeet:
Now if I am going to get a good Draw Tag in an area around Grand Junction for Elk I would prefer my .306.
If I want to protect myself in a place of business I work at, that has been robbed by gun point before. You want a 9 mm behind the counter and a good old 38 on my ankle holster as back up and decide if you would use it when faced with someone who is willing to do you harm to you.
Each has its use in a given spectrum of why you buy and use said weapon!
What I don’t like is no law that does not protect us from the crazy people out there over extending the loop holes in the right to bear arms law!! If someone showed up at my hunting camp with a Simi automatic weapon with a clip more than max by law set by President Clinton see below from Wiki:
The act addressed only semi-automatic firearms, that is, firearms that fire one shot each time the trigger is pulled. Neither the AWB nor its expiration changed the legal status of fully automatic firearms, which fire more than one round with a single trigger-pull; these have been regulated by the National Firearms Act of 1934 and Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986.
The act separately defined and banned “large capacity ammunition feeding devices”, which generally applied to magazines or other ammunition feeding devices with capacities of greater than an arbitrary number of rounds and which up to the time of the act had been considered normal or factory magazines. These ammunition feeding devices were referred to in the media and popular culture as “high capacity magazines or feeding devices”. Depending on the locality and type of firearm, the cutoff between a “normal” capacity and “high” capacity magazine was 3, 7, 10, 12, 15, or 20 rounds. The now defunct federal ban set the limit at 10 rounds!
WTF!! Not only will I not hunt with a stupid F@@K that thinks he needs this. I would report him!
Just me!!
FTR
yep yep, took me forever just to go see the dentist. You best knock me out if you’re gonna take out my teeth! lol
07Elway. I just wanted to give you a heads up. Theres a young lady whos been on this blog for a few months now. Her handle is Ticat06. She`s really down to earth and bleeds orange big time. I know you`d get along with her when you see her on. she reminds me of you in some ways. Everyone enjoys talking with Cat. Just thought I`d let you know. More Girl Power. LOL
I cringe when I see a needle thats in a studid movie. LOL
Oh I’ve seen her handle, didn’t know she was another girl. That’s cool, more girl power the better haha
Girls rule ya know
My best friend has a sign that says Chicks Rule on her living room wall. God help me! LOL
lol that’s awesome and so true. I hope you know that, right??!!
I like the way you talk FTR. And while I agree with you….as far as reporting violators…I hate the poachers and those who use both alcohol and guns together….the magazine bans are nearly useless. You can purchase speed loaders for anything and reload almost as fast as you pull the trigger. I can shoot 18 rounds from my .44 mag. Dan Wesson in less than 8 seconds. And that is a gun with lots of recoil. That’s a revolver.
By .306 I assume you mean 30.06.
All in good balance. Its the chick that makes ya the man that keeps you on the straight and narrow. And thats a good thing. LOL
I used to own a .380 semi auto with seven round clip. I could do 21 rounds in 8 seconds with that. The reload slows a guy slightly but not much.
Dang – with all of this gun talk I feel the need to go find me a mountain to hike!!! ALL ANTLERED SPECIES BEWARE!!! LOL
And that’s the truth. Alright, long day tomorrow. I’ll talk to you guys later Nighty night
Behind every good man there is a great woman!!!
Good night Elway. Watch for the Wisdom Tooth Fairy. HaHa!!
See you 07! Enjoy the drugs!!!
lol I’m not cheap either, I charge maybe $100 a tooth LOL
Only because they are legal of course!!! LOL
LOL @ Daddy!
Totally hilarious!
U guys are crazy!! lol Think the two of you are on enough drugs for me right now ROFL
I gotta go refill at the feeding trough. Nobody home tonight for a while. I’m on my own. No woman – I act like a pig!!! LOL
Man, Ash, thats a $500 check, Yeah!!
hey guys. thinking of going to a game this year with the family. be nice to go to the home opener. any tips on where to find the best seats or tickets. thanks.
High on life!! Oh ya know it!!!!!!

Told you I wasn’t cheap lol
I thought you were in bed already?! LOL
Chicks rule, guys drule. LOL
My wonderful mother taught me that one. HaHa!!

Socal – you’re not being ignored. I just don’t think we have the answer.
lol very funny… thanks strand always good to talk to other Bronco faithful. I’m out this time, for real
Laters
See ya strand & Daddy. Stay off the drugs ;p
Anyone else really disappointed with the NCAA after the Penn State sanctions were announced? How do any of these things help anyone that was harmed? It is a sad attempt to placate a self-rightous public that in this day in age has to be placated.
Paterno is Dead, Sandusky has been found guilty, and it was over a decade ago. It is a sad day for a proud University with a great tradition of making people better do to the actions of a mentally sick man.
If public executions were legal people may think twice about perpetrating these types of action. C-Span should be used for this. It would serve a wonderful purpose and the gratification for those that need it is instantanious. After Sandusky was found guilty of child molestation (IMO the worst of all crimes) he should have been non-ceremoniously walked out to the nearest street and shot in the back of the head on Camera for anyone and everyone to see, it is what he deserved and then this is literally a dead issue and those abused could truly start to heal.
Socal, try Stub-Hub. Prices are inflated, but you can usually get any section you are willing to pay for
daddybronc, thanks for getting back to me. no prob. i am still looking around but definetly trying to go to a game this year. never been to a home game so just thought i asked the pros on this blog.
On this one, I agree with you DYnasty. Although, I am more inclined towards an Asian style of cane – ing prior to execution.
You can always pay the scalpers prices at the door. I’ve done that since I was a teen but have quit doing so. Never has the right feel to it.
thanks. dy nasty d. i have been looking on there too.
I’m out gents. Have a great evening!
BRONCOS FAMILY THROUGH AND THROUGH! MEN, WOMEN, BOYS, AND GIRLS OF ALL AGES BLEEDING ORANGE FOR THE ULTIMATE CAUSE, TO WIN THE SB. HAHA!!
