Brick Fight Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I haven't checked if that one part of the bill to completely remove ammo from toxic substance control went through, too. Sturgeon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I believe that and the part that allows servicemen to carry personal handguns on base both went through, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I suggested in the comments of my latest article that another commenter could email me for info on how to qualify for the CMP. I have already gotten several emails asking how to qualify... What did I expect would happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donward Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Go to Das Google. Type Civilian Marksmanship Program. Or CMP. Or anything that resembles that. Click on the link. Look at pretty picture of the thecmp.org website. Use that mouse scrolly thing to go up and down. Randomly click on links until the desired one eventually comes up. The End.

LoooSeR Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 ... My advice: Don't watch Hickok, Nutnfancy, IV8888, Whatshisname & Erika, MattV2099... Hickok videos are long vidoes of him talking and akwardly shooting at same targets from same perspective and angle every time for many years, with exception of his several vids. IV8888 is not bad, if you watch it as a derp rednecks attempt to make good vids (their video quality is pretty good, BTW, although lacking in almost all other areas besides videoimage). Others i never saw. MAC is not totally bad, but his ~gear-whorish product placement like Beltfortactikewlfattiestm Griffincanstm ZQIammunitiontm marketing is sightly annoying for me. So watch nothing, because everything sucks Sturgeon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I like how half the comments on your article are "How do I join the CMP?" as if they can't simply use a Google search and go the the Civilian Marksmanship Program's webpage or - gasp - give them a call. And of course another one-fourth of the comments are people bitching and moaning about the expected cost of these pistols and how they won't be match grade. Or how they can't buy them for some ridiculously cheap price so the preppers and hoarders won't get them all or the gunshow vultures can't gobble them up and resell them for triple the price.

Sturgeon Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I got a shitload of emails about How I CMP?, so I just copy-pastad the stock email I was using into the comments. The emails stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 So, I have finally stopped being lazy and am now busting my butt to get a Colt SCAMP post out tomorrow. It's a really obscure gun, and I've got some good info on it, so hopefully even the nerdiest of gun nerds will learn something they didn't already know!

Walter_Sobchak Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Found this article while looking through a 1921 issue of the Ordnance Journal. I have to admit, I had not heard of this gun before, but firearms are not really my thing. I figured some of you might find it interesting. Sturgeon, Belesarius and D.E.

Sturgeon Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Oh yeah, the Thompson Autorifle, one of the very early major US selfloading rifle designs. It was basically a straight blowback .30-06 rifle, and ejected brass with such force that the cases could penetrate pine boards. Not the greatest design ever, but forgiven for being very early.Also, tomorrow y'all get to read 1,800 words on the Colt SCAMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
