Re: I Saw This New Firearm!

Ruger makes good products, with a few exceptions. I'm sure they're illegal here in CA, so I'll only find out if I move to Wyoming (a dream we have).

Re: Should schoolchildren be taught that Alamo defenders were heroes?

There is a movement afoot to revise or alter and in some cases erase History. History isn't always pretty or comfortable or even complete but with all of its flaws it is the "Story of us" and should be viewed in that light. When someone wants to revise the history of an event some basic questions s...

Yes, they should. But I"m biased. I had an ancestor there for that fight.

Re: Fedoras in Films Not Involving A Bull Whip.

Two of my all time favorite movies. Tokyo Joe was actually the reason I decided to begin wearing a fedora. And I recently bought Lovely on DVD. It doesn't hurt that Jimmy Stewart has a small part, and he's one of my real life heroes.

Re: My A-list of high quality westerns

No love for Appaloosa?
I enjoyed Appaloosa, with Ed Harris and Vigo Mortenson, but I didn't like The Appaloosa with Brando.

Will Penny is reportedly lead actor's Charlton Heston's favorite movie that he acted in and I can see why. It's v...
