I don't believe it. What gun shop/FFL could possibly be a source of exaggerated stories and conspiracy theories? I have NEVER met someone who worked in a gun shop that took liberties with the truth. They would never ignore the facts for the sake of a good story! ;)

Just came here to post that I saw the NRA interview at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4201Om62tic&feature=youtu.be&a Email sent to the addresses listed by the original poster. Sorry for the doubt of the original post, but I just couldn't find a single news source back then that could...

S&W M&P340 with Crimson Trace grips. Now need to decide if I sell my S&W 442.

Just want to check where this came from. Is this real? A quick google of Demarie DeReu shows only copies of this email in various blogs/websites, but I can't find any news stories on her case. Just wondering if it is real or not. Sometimes the best internet rumors are the ones that are the...

One more member of the "concealed means concealed" club. I always wonder how the topic comes up in conversation with other people. It is not a topic of conversation that would come up unless the person with the permit leads folks into that discussion. My wife knows I have my carry permit...

I am anti-TSA as anyone, but I have to call BS on this. Males grope males and females grope females. Where did you hear this? As incompetent as the TSA is, I find it very hard to believe that a male TSA **** did a patdown of a female passenger.

This^^^ I see it all the time in enterprise wide, corporate sales. Low level employees think someone has to win and someone has to lose. And if they don't think they are winning, they won't play, even if it means selling for less (or paying more) somewhere else. Folks smart enough to...

NRA Member here. They aren't perfect, but they are the best we have at the federal level. Also a member of Grass Roots North Carolina. They do a great job at the state level. They also aren't perfect, but the best we have. In case anyone was wondering, I am not perfect either but I am...

Common sense tells me that nothing bad would ever happen in my upper middle class neighborhood in North Carolina. Yet folks two blocks away were followed home from their store one night after they closed it, then kidnapped at gunpoint, and thrown in the trunk of the kidnappers car to head back...

I like to separate my thinking about carrying in bars/restaurants that serve alcohol and whether or not one should drink and carry into two arguments depending on the situation: 1. What the law really should be - Carrying shouldn't be limited in any way, shape, or form. I have been drunk...

So many posters are saying, "My house, my rules". Where is it you post these rules? How do you communicate these rules to folks that come over? The only rule I ever heard any home owner proclaim was that they like to have everyone take off their shoes when they enter the house. But if it...

I just call it Colt 45. Works every time...

We all ask these same questions when we start to carry. How often to carry? Where/when to carry? What weapon? What holster? I have several rules that are never broken when it comes to firearms, and one of them is that a loaded weapon is ALWAYS either locked up or on my person/in my...

The irony of a person with your username posting what you did about FFL fees gives me a pretty good chuckle.

Cash flow and Return on Investment Not sure why so many posters are getting on the OP's case. I cannot understand why a gunshop wouldn't do transfers. Retailers across all markets are looking for ways to offer high margin, ancillary services to their customers. Transfers are a textbook...
