Just announced..

[Marlin]

Rockey Mountian News To shut down.. Last one tomorrow..

Guess that's the last one I'll buy....

[theGinsue]

Seems fitting....I certainly wouldn't buy any more of those after they quit making new ones; but that's just me.

[sniper_tim]

havn't bought any, or the post for that matter, since they they refuse to allow individuals to advertise guns!

Lib paper or legit reporting?

If every "news" agency went belly up tomorrow we would probably all be better for it.

I'm shocked most of these paper news companies have managed to stay in business this long, been a dieing industry for probably 10 years now.

[Marlin]

Heck, The only reason I'll miss it, is the comics... Been reading some of those since I was a kid...

[USMC88-93]

Whats a newspaper?

[Elhuero]

Whats a newspaper?


no joke!

[Marlin]

Well Some of us are "old school", I have been reading it since 1977...

I'd be willing to bet neither of You were a gleam in your daddy's eye at that point...[Abused]

[theGinsue]

hehehe... Yeah. By 1977 I know that I was well indoctorinated in the fact that newspapers were (by default) typically anti-gun. We always got the Sunday paper because of the coupons, but the purchase was usually accompanied by lots of under the breath muttering.

hehe I'll take that bet, in 77 I was a bouncing baby boy.

[USMC88-93]

I was more than an gleam I was an annoying 9 year old. But the Rocky was the paper to read back in the day. It was nothing more than excessive adds and biased reporting in its later years.

[Dr_Fwd]

[Coffee]

[sniper7]

Damn all you guys are old. I was born in 1985.

[Marlin]

Gee, I was running around in Germany, in '85 [Abused]

[ssf467]

Damn all you guys are old. I was born in 1985.
Are you old enough to own an AR?

[sniper7]

Are you old enough to own an AR?

no. i dont have any more guns after my boating trip this summer that turned tragic!

[Dr_Fwd]

no. i dont have any more guns after my boating trip this summer that turned tragic!

what's happened? if I may ask...

[68Charger]

Are you old enough to own an AR?

isn't there a saying- some thing like "old enough to feed, old enough to bleed?" or something like that? [ROFL2]

seriously, tho- I was carrying a Mossberg 12Ga loaded with 00 buck & slugs when I was 12... mandatory Bear protection if you wanted to go ashore in Alaska... and I think plenty of M16s were issued to 18-19 year olds at some point...

at least with this crowd I don't feel too old, nor too young- I was born in '70... but you won't find me baggin on the younger ones too much

I first started reading the RMN in 1980 when I was station at club Fitz. While the paper did get a severe left slant in later years I always liked the "book" layout.

I prefer to read the paper. Yes I work in the electronics/IT field and have for the last 30 years but there is something to be said for newsprint/books.

Hope all you young ones have a backup plan if all this modern stuff ever comes to a halt.......;-)

and I must be the old man of the group having lived through 10 presidents so far.

[bjl913]

what's happened? if I may ask...


...I bet you wanna know! hehe and sniper, I guess we are probably the youngins around here! i was born in '84...

[theGinsue]

Damn all you guys are old. I was born in 1985.

Lemme see. In '85 I had already been to college for 2 years and had joined Uncle Sam's Air Force.

[Marlin]

Nope Jerry, I made it through 10 also.. Though I was a bit young for Kennedy...[Tooth]

[sniper7]

what's happened? if I may ask...

Loch ness of Red feather tipped the boat when he heard about the few guns I did own that were on board, grabbed the guns and disappeared into the watery abiss. Very sad. Luckily I have $1000 coverage through NRA but I am not sure how to explain the story to them without instantly getting denied.

I prefer to read the paper. Yes I work in the electronics/IT field and have for the last XX years but there is something to be said for newsprint/books.


Especially all those e-mails i get with the signature "think before you print this." I like to print it, read it and throw it in the garbage can, yes i have a recycling can in my cube too!

Still prefer to print technical manuals and read/highlight instead of read soft copy. Read a lot of news on-line, especially since the majority of news in print is so out of date by the time it gets to your house. But like the WSJ, autotrader, etc.

Hate the majority of newspapers cause of the liberal spin, and i'm surprised too that many havn't gone out of business, however remember that is how the libs still push their BS. Ironic, notice how it hasn't become un-pc to read the newspaper, even though the libtards are always about saving the world and trees and global warming etc, but newsprint is how they push their propaganda? I have a really liberal neighbor, who complains at me all the time about recycling by the way, and they get 4 f-ing newspapers! Who the f is trying to save the world, oh at least i buy my beer from the "worlds largest recyclers" hehe!

Cheers and good riddance RMN.
