Calum, to my knowledge, Badgerdog is still active on this site and in good standing with the administrator and mods here. He is extremely busy on his own site and actually had a lot of help from the people that run this site from the sound of things. Go over and check the site out, not many people there yet but it's got a good setup, very similar to this one. Please remember, there are legal issues that must be addressed when running a site like this, we really don't need to give the antis any more ammunition than the nut cases already have. I'm not even hinting that Tod Bartell is or has been a problem, from those in the know, he's a fine fellow. We all are passionate about our rights to keep and bear our firearms, and that's why we vist this site. Not only do we need to follow the rules of this site, but we need to support the sponsors as much as possible as well, these sites don't run for free and the site certainly isn't generating enough money to make a liveing on. Sorry for wandering off the original topic, but it's all part and parcel to the overall picture. Go visit the US gun sites, unless you're into a freak site, their regs are the same about legal issues, especially now with homeland defence checking out all of these sites for goblins. No offence to TB at all. bearhunter
