I thought it works this way..... Almost. I thought you get the permit first. (Six Months to Two Years) Approximately correct. Time varies with county, judge, etc. And permit may have restrictions imposed by issuing judge, at his discretion. (All non-lawful, by the way - that is, state...

Help! Just got a 21A (older model, with CT laser grip). Grip is wonderful, trigger not bad, but everything else is incredibly stiff to operate. Barrel release almost tears the skin off my thumb. Reseating the barrel requires great effort, and sometimes requires manipulating the...

Missing Step 2 possibilities I have thought of two alternate cover-up explantions: 1) Step 1: Let the guns walk into Mexico; Step 2: Follow them (illegally) with US agents, or spies, since the Mexicans can't be relied on. Step 3: Identify the cartel purchasers, and follow-up with...

Info request I thought the PT22 had no extractor - empties just blow out. Yes? If so, how do you clear a FTF? Tap-rack-bang no good if the dud is still in the barrel. On the Phoenix, I've read it is single action, with unusually complex safeties. True? How do you carry one for CCW...

No, I'm aware of the Slug Hunter, which, I believe, has an extra-heavy barrel, allowing it to be easily tapped for mounts. I am wondering about a scope on a standard, shot barrel. I am cross-dominant (right-hand dominant, left-eye dominant), and the idea of mounting a red dot is appealing, as...

Anyone have any experience/knowledge re the feasability of mounting a scope on a single-barrel gun (H&R/Rossi type)? Can they be tapped? Soldered?

Anyone know what Finland's laws on handguns are like?

This implies that if I am really of black African descent, but I am light-skinned enough that I can "pass", & the owner wishes that I were white, I am being immoral by sneaking in? :scrutiny: I am being disrespectful of his rights? :scrutiny: I 'm not convinced that this is as clear-cut an...

So if you're an intruder, you would feel safer if the victim had a sub-machine gun rather than a revolver? :what: An UZI would be "not much good" against you? :what: Something like a P90 would be an ideal home defense weapon. (And full-autos ARE "in common use" for defensive purposes; the...

The same line of thought would rule out using rifles & shotguns at all. Is it really a practical concern? There is no way to defend against ALL possible problems, after all.

Just "because"? So nobody really can answer the question - WHY doesn't atf consider these things silencers? What is the rationale? (Not somebody's guess - but the reason the ATF made the decision(s).) No-one knows?

Still no answer From the ATF.GOV FAQ: The terms “firearm silencer” and “firearm muffler” mean any device for silencing, muffling, or diminishing the report of a portable firearm, including any combination of parts, designed or redesigned, and intended for use in assembling or fabricating...

Aiding and abetting? Perhaps the best approach would be not "duty to protect", but instead, specific harm intentionallly inflicted on legal gun owners. Since a prohibition, without airport-style security, has NO effect on criminals, it serves ONLY to increase danger to the rule-abiding. The...

Can anyone explain why this is not a "silencer"? http://www.metrogun.com/ Likewise "bloop tubes" on target rifles?

It has occurred to me that, in a gunfight, your danger lessens (relatively) if your opponent is moving, as his accuracy will be off; conversely, when he is at his most dangerous, he must have his head stationary, at least momentarily, in order to aim. Would there not be some utility in...
