I understand that people can go overboard. It just seems taboo to even breathe the word firearms any more. Its sad, even owning a gun make's you a criminal these days.

Not in Montana! The state just passed a new gun law that will test states rights and the 2n Amendent. We all have to use common sense and be involved in making this a site thats enjoyable to all concerned. COMMON SENSE. We can do it guys!

I am new to the site and want to make sure I'm not violating any rules.
I have a small collection of old military firearms that I was going to post pictures of in my profile. Are there any issues with that or should I just keep it MV and keep this hobby to myself?
it is sad the way things are headed, everything is so PC, you have to watch what you say almost anyway, somebody may be offended or worse. i don't blame Chris for worrying about this and reactions to whats said on this site, he has put a lot of time, money , caring, and love to make this the PREMEIR MV site on the net, all could be lost by ONE post that to us there is nothing wrong, but to somebody else the worst thing said or could be taken as a danger or threat, Chriis has put his own feelings , thoughts, and believes aside to make SS what it is, its a shame that in the USA he has to do that, but he did what he had to do. i see this PC stuff as crap but that's the world we live in. this is my rant for the week.
i for one will do nothing that will ever put SS in jeopardy, if that means holding my tongue so be it, and if i do say something that should not be said on SS,, i hope one of the MODS catches it and either edits or removes it
so thank you Chris and the MODS for making my world a lot better place with SS, a ray of sunshine in a dark world

I agree with Scarecrow1 and others above. I know I have enough problems just trying to stay MV related.
I darn sure don't need to add in guns even though I don't have any and neither do my friends.
ALL of the weapons you may see from time to time on our trucks are either "rubber duckies" or Airsoft replicas so theres not much to say about them.

I would like to address posts about guns here on SS. Please don't post guns for sale, breech modifications, de-mil cut repair, or anything else that would get the ATF excited. There are plenty of guns websites out there so go to one of those if you want to talk about guns.
The exceptions to this rule are gun rings, pintle mounts, turrets, etc... that are mounted to our trucks, APC's, and tanks. It is also OK to talk about replica weapons for the purpose of historical displays and combined MV/Gun shows.
Just use your common sense and don't post things that could put yourself or the SS site in jeopardy. Thanks!
All -
Be advised that the fastest way to kill a discussion forum is by the users giving the owner(s) heartburn.
There are plenty of places to discuss topics other than military vehicles.

Do you think it is in the best interest of SS to change my "signature", Moderator? If so, please met me know and it will happen
While I'm not a moderator I'd guess the comment about your rights to free speech and to bear arms to be OK. The issue under discussion concerns neither. The constitutional right to "free speech" only applies to speech as controlled by government. It does not apply here. This website is private property and the owners can set any rules they want.
To answer the question regarding the appropriateness of posting pics of a firearm collection, re-read the second paragraph of Chris' first post. It's pretty clear and in this case the answer is "NO".
We all need to be aware that when on this website we have no RIGHT of "free speech" What we do have is the PRIVILEGE to participate here as long as we follow the rules.
