The Guns of Navarone was a novel written by Alistair MacLean and published in 1957. The movie came out in 1961.
Guild made a few Navarre models, F-48s and 50s, I believe.

And remember, don't take your guns to town, son. :wink:

2 Kimber's and 3 Springfield Armory's for me...and that's all I'll say about that. 8)

Also a big Larry McMurtry fan.

I like the quirkiness in McMurtry's writing. In the same vein, I also like Annie Proulx's work: her western stories "Close Range", "Bad Dirt", "Ace in the Hole", and in a completely different environment, "The Shipping News".

Great writers, great titles. Count me in! :wink:

*Check out Howard Norman's The Bird Artist for "quirkiness."

Soon adding a Springfield Armory .45 XD... Considered the 1911, but the XD has such great (book) reviews... Great augmenting sidearm for moving cattle from Tejas clear up to Montana & beyond... Also a huge Lonesome Dove/McMurtry fan... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WirclNop_hA

the Springfield Armory XD pistols are phenomenal. Mine is the 4 in service model .357 sig. Handguin of the year the first year they came out. I think you'll be very impressed.

Y'oughta ask 'em to stop by the gun store and pick something out for you. :lol:
Not a gun owner myself but I can relate to the love of mechanical precision. As well as the right to bear arms. That's a biggie. I actually did get to shoot an AutoOrdinance Thompson 45 Korean War commemorative edition many years ago, courtesy of my father. It was enabled for semi auto but not full if I remember right. Don't think full auto's legal, right? Surprised everyone at the range including myself, I had a pretty damn good eye. And it didn't have the recoil I expected that everybody always talks about either. That helped a lot of course.
I've always kinda thought that owning a gun could be dangerous for a guy like me, living in an urban environment. You know what they say, more people are injured (killed) by guns they own than ones they don't, and I've never been threatened with a gun or had my place broken into, so why tempt fate.
These days I'm starting to ponder the self defense issue a bit more closely, as well as the right to posess a weapon. The ol' urban environment ain't what it used to be around here. :?

I'm not sure anymore about liscensing Al. When I kept a Federal Firearms liscense, if you paid enough money to the Feds and if you passed a screening, you could buy a liscense to sell fully automatic weapons. I always thought that to be a bit strange as the fully auto guns themselves were illegal to posses, and I'm sure still are. I'm as staunch a defender as they come of the Constitution's clearly worded right given the American people in the 2nd Amendment, but I've NEVER understood why John Q. Public could possibly ever need fully automatic weapons.

Scratch has recently gotten his carry liscense and would be the perfect person to contact about fees and requirements. And when you are in the market, let one of us and we'll steer you towards some great self defense weapons.

As well as the right to bear arms.

Hey! It's all I have!

 

[killdeer43]

And while you're in the gun shop, ask them what books they're reading. :roll:

Just got an idea Joe...... how about starting a thread about the books we're reading? :shock:

Or start one on guns, it will probably end up a book thread.
