country
A country is a region that is identified as a distinct national entity in political geography. A country may be an independent sovereign state or one that is occupied by another state, as a non-sovereign or formerly sovereign political division, or a geographic region associated with sets of previously independent or differently associated people with distinct political characteristics. Regardless of the physical geography, in the modern internationally accepted legal definition as defined by the League of Nations in 1937 and reaffirmed by the United Nations in 1945, a resident of a country is subject to the independent exercise of legal jurisdiction.
Sometimes countries refers both to sovereign states and to other political entities, while other times it refers only to states. For example, the CIA World Factbook uses the word in its "Country name" field to refer to "a wide variety of dependencies, areas of special sovereignty, uninhabited islands, and other entities in addition to the traditional countries or independent states".[Note 1]
I moved to the NW last October, and just found this forum, unfortunately right before I’m leaving the area. Wish I had found this sooner, I would have liked to find some good areas to go shooting.
$21.00 is an inexpensive option for a quality boot knife (dagger shape blade). Made by Kershaw, this might be worth a look.
This is Amazon's current asking price.
Hey all, I'm moving to the Flathead County area of Montana and I was wondering what type of sidearm you would carry while hiking. My thought would be either a S&W 629 in .44 or a Glock 10mm. I'm leaning more towards the Glock due to my experience and training. However a .44 has its upside...
Apparently an accidental shooting with a gun being used as a prop in a music video. No details yet on how it occurred. Very sad to hear this. My condolences to his family.

With the Anti-gunners in Washington going nuts with new gun laws, I've considered moving to Idaho.
I've been in my house for almost 5 years and owe $95k on it. Current market I could sell it for $140k pretty easily. Planning on putting another $3k into it this spring to remodel the bathroom...

Hi All,
Since I am very interested in entering into the precision rifle arena, I am considering selling one or both of my custom Hill Country rifles. I have two of these 30-06 rifles (one in a Winchester action and one in a Remington 700 action). Both rifles have barely been used -maybe 50...
Bought an awesome home in northern NM, sight unseen. We are actually really pleased with it considering the chance we took. But this is some wild country. I was looking at the door to the garage and noticed some divits and holes in the adobe brick and solid timber door. It was a typical handgun...
I am thinking of doing an RV cross country trip in the US through several states and wanted to see if any of you have researched the carry and travel laws. I have a carry permit for both OR and WA and I did a bit of research on this site to familiarize myself with state concealed license...
