  1. Myspace.com is where most of the preditors, that were on that tv special, came from. do not allow anyone you love to access that website!
  2. if you click on the link i gave you guys, you will see that they have cleaned the whole place up. it is no longer the "good old days" with open shooting everywhere. they have a real nice setup now with a paved road right up to the range and shooting stations. even has a rangemaster! nice place! and not the "wild westside" it was, bj
  3. recommended meeting place lytle creek public shooting range http://www.maxyum.com/lytlecreek/index.htm nice place in san bernardino mountains. at junction of interstate 10 and 15 nice place! bj (i live 12 miles from it)
  4. hello: my grandfather was really into guns and hunted until he died at age 72. he would buy,and trade them all of the time. when he got a rifle that was inaccurate, he would "fire lap" the bore. this consisted of using "clover valve grinding compound" (fine) and coating the bullet of a live round and firing it from the rifle. he would do this alternating between coated rounds, and three non-coated rounds until the rifle shot to point of aim. has anyone else heard of this? or was he just a "crazy old man?" (i don't think it was the latter) bj
  5. I pass this on for your judgment only. Beyond the historic architecture, the spice-laden cuisine and the beguiling voodoo underground, live close to 500,000 people, mostly poor (more than a quarter live in poverty), mostly black (more than 66 percent), clustered into 73 distinct neighborhoods. Crime, even before the hurricane, was high. The murder rate has come down in recent years, but remains 10 times the national average. Last year, researchers had police fire 700 blank rounds in a city neighborhood one afternoon. No one called to report the gunfire. Maybe New Orleans should be nicknamed The Big Un-Easy, due to a high violent crime rate and a high unemployment rate. There's also a significant number of suicides and divorces. The city's school system is a shambles. The district almost went broke this past year — teachers nearly missed a paycheck — and 55 of the state's 78 worst schools are in New Orleans. Dozens of school employees are under indictment for corruption. But then, corruption in New Orleans is nothing new — politicians, judges, the police have all been caught. These government failures are not merely a matter of incompetence. Louisiana and New Orleans have a long, well-known reputation for corruption: as former congressman Billy Tauzin once put it, "half of Louisiana is under water and the other half is under indictment That's putting it mildly. Adjusted for population size, the state ranks third in the number of elected officials convicted of crimes (Mississippi is No. 1). Recent scandals include the conviction of 14 state judges and an FBI raid on the business and personal files of a Louisiana congressman. In 1991, a notoriously corrupt Democrat named Edwin Edwards ran for governor against Republican David Duke, a former head of the Ku Klux Klan. Edwards, whose winning campaign included bumper stickers saying "Elect the Crook," is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for taking bribes from casino owners. Duke recently completed his own prison term for tax fraud. The rot included the New Orleans Police Department, which in the 1990s had the dubious distinction of being the nation's most corrupt police force and the least effective: the city had the highest murder rate in America. More than 50 officers were eventually convicted of crimes including murder, rape and robbery; two are currently on Death Row. Ten billion dollars are about to pass into the sticky hands of politicians in the No. 1 and No. 3 most corrupt states in America. Worried about looting? You ain't seen nothing yet.
