At first read, I thought this was a non-issue. But then I thought, why did the SUV driver get out of his car and walk back to the OP's to ask for directions when he was already at a drive-thru window talking to someone (or some people) who are clearly local, i.e. the McDonald's employees? They...

Decompression sounds pretty technical already, lol. Thanks guys, I'm loadin up!

I'd weigh in on the side of not a safety risk. While you have added an access point, you have also added a deterrent. Doggy door says doggy, which is a pain in the ass to robbers. Anyone that isn't deterred by a dog of unknown make or model, probably isn't going to bother squeezing through a...

Okay, I'm ready for one-in-the-chamber mode in my bedside HD gun. Is this bad for the weapon? I thought I read you'd be loading springs to leave it chambered indefinitely?

The title sounds like a no-brainer, I know. But here's the deal. I have a Remy 870 and a Beretta 92. I want one gun on my side of the bed, not both. The 870 is fine, I like it well enough and shoot it occasionally. But I LOVE the 92. It feels like an extension of my hand and for some strange...

Leanwolf: State of California. Northern portion, coast ranges. Lots of growing going on up there.

Reloads. Ouch. :( Man injured after gun explodes at Livermore shooting range By Sophia Kazmi Contra Costa Times Posted: 05/14/2010 02:03:33 PM PDT Updated: 05/14/2010 02:03:33 PM PDT LIVERMORE — Thirteen was not this Hayward man's lucky number. The 67-year-old was trap shooting at...

Nice Kingofthehill, that sounds scary as hell! SaxonPig, not asking for stories of you shooting anyone, just enjoy reading the close encounters like Kingofthehills and Ozarkgunner's.

I'm sure this has been done before, but I didn't see it and they are so much fun to read. I'd love to hear your stories of bumps in the night or other situations resulting in you grabbing your weapon. They can be totally benign, or result in an actual confrontation. Whatever the case may be...

I just wanted to thank Jon Snow and the others that didn't get too worked up over my post about California gun laws. I now understand, and I wholeheartedly agree with you. I was wrong. But I had to hear some arguments to help work it out in my head. It's unfortunate that so many people are...

So hand grenades and tanks are okay. How about nukes? If not, then you acknowledge that a line does have to be drawn somewhere, and that not ALL arms apply to the 2nd amendment. And once you acknowledge that, then it is a matter of opinion as to where that line should be drawn. Sorry, not...

I'm constantly hearing about California gun laws and the evil liberals in "Californistan" trying to take away my guns and freedom and everything else. What exactly is so bad about California gun law? Precisely which laws are the ones everyone hates so much? Is it not being able to have an...

Thanks Bill. I saw your earlier response to a similar question on calguns.net. Do you happen to have any references of cases that were tried, either civil or criminal. Most of the news on google et al, has the exciting "home invasion thwarted!" part, but it's much harder to find out what...

Does anyone living in the SF Bay Area know where to buy percussion caps in the 100-cap size? I don't really want to buy 1,000 of them for $50 on Cabela's right now, as I don't think I will shoot a thousand cap n ball rounds in the next few years. Thanks!

Good point cbrgator. Once someone breaks into your home in the middle of the night, I think you best just accept that your life has just drastically and permanently changed. Getting out of the situation with your life and that of your family members would be all that really matters.
