What I'd Like To See on Down Range

[tombogan03884]

How about a 30 second slot each week that would identify businesses who support anti-gun activities and a short explanation of what that support is? 

I don't like my money going to anti-gun businesses....knowing who not to spend with would be nice.

A moderated list on DownRange.TV would also be nice.

The list on the forum would be real good, Then I would not have wound up with a Compaq computer  made by anti civil rights HP

Can't say I'm not surprised by the HP comments - most big companies are very anti-personal rights these days. Sadly I think it would be a very long list. My own company, HQ in CA, has a "policy" against weapons on premises, in direct violation of the ND Constitution - no exemptions granted.

Anyhow, I'm not surprised by the HP comments, but can you detail what, when and why? Like with Conoco and AOL, I quit both because of their abuses of employees (firing actually) for having guns in their car trunks to go shooting after work.

Thanks.

I, as would many of my handicapped friends, would love to see a segment about SD for the handicapped. There are pros and cons for the wheelchair bound, as with those that use a walker or cane. I have been discussing this very subject with an instructor for Suarez International on this board and the possibilities are endless. As "soft targets", we must be even more vigilant in our training and tactics to ensure our family's safety!

Another good Idea,

You know, along with gun work, I love wood work. They go hand in hand in some ways. I used to watch a show called new yankee work shop. At first the guy "Norm" made really nice, down to earth projects. Then, as the show progressed, the projects got so out of touch and the equipment no industrialized that I no longer watched. I don't want that to happen with the show. I do not want to see a bunch of $2000 1911's and $3000 AR's all the time. I can't buy one, and not many folks can. Well many can, but how many watch this show. The everyday Joe with a mid-priced collection with the most expensive being maybe a 1911 in the $600 range are the folks that watched the show from the start. I would hate to feel like they lost contact with the true fans.
$5000 shotguns are nice, and I see too many already on Shooting USA. Show me a Mauser build that I can do. Teach me about CCW and what I can do with Dad's old .22. Don't spend too much time reminding me that how high my morgage is. I think about that all day. Do not make me watch the show and think to myself, " you know, there should be a show for the common Joe". I think , unless I am mistaken, that is where this show started. Am I correct?

That is why I like the idea of a tacticle lever gun show.  The fancies are cool and I enjoy seeing them, but not as a steady diet.  That is why I liked the show where Walt talked about revolvers as CCW guns.  GREAT info from a MASTER on the guns that we do or can own.

I know what you mean on both counts. I used to watch Norms show, but I don't have a $10,000 shop, or a $2,000 shotgun

Best time with Norm, he pushed a board through the table saw, obviously was not paying close attention, and you could just see that the board was being cut at the wrong angle. Next scene - it fit perfectly.

Ah, yes the miracle of modern Television!

I do feel a little guilty though, I do have a $700 AR, and a $1300 Sig, seems like too much of something. Or maybe not enough of something. Confused . . . .

I don't have a $8500 router or a $4500 air brad and nailer set, but I can build a spice rack. Same with my guns. I have everything I need to get the job. I just won't look as cool doing it; however, I can offord ammo.
