Yeah, the early gas trap Garand troubles gave M.M. Johnson some impetus to get his rifle ready. It was pretty apparent, even to him, that the Army was committed to the Garand but nobody really knew for certain if they could get it all worked out in time for the war we would be in sooner or later.

A very interesting, and very cool, rifle.

Thanks. I too hope I never need it.
The more I learn, the more I hope that.

Rereading that, it may appear that I was angry at the question.

What do they think about? Do you mean that particular class? I couldn't tell you. But if you mean defensive firearms classes in general, well...

It still has an effect on me whether I take the class or not. When something happens (and it will eventually), i...

I guess this is making the rounds. I'm in the middle of a "discussion" on this at another forum right now. Most of the people there are in agreement that it's nuts. but there are a few disciples of that school who keep finding ways to justify it (in their minds). Here is my first response ...

Thank you.
