I heard a clerk in a gun store tell a customer that one of those jagged breaching muzzles on a 12 gauge was there to eliminate the recoil. Wish I could have witnessed the first shot! :)

I absolutely hate this topic. It drives me nuts. Toy guns are toys, not guns! I put parents who prohibit toy guns in the same class as those who won't let their kids climb trees or ride a skateboard. For some unimaginable reason, those parents think that playing with toy guns is going to...

"Thomas Edison invented the light bulb which was the forerunner to the red dot scope." Yup, I've noticed that. Stare at a light bulb for a while then sight your gun. I always see the "red dot."

IMHO the 22 LR is a generally under rated round. Shot placement is always the key to stopping the bad guy, even with larger caliber handguns. A well placed 22 LR will be more effective than a poorly placed 38 round any day. Even shooing a 45 won't help you if you miss. Those 22 LR HP rounds...

Excellent! I'm so glad this happened in Brooklyn. New Yorkers need this kind of positive feedback on the value of guns for self defense and home protection. More stories like this will make a difference.

Yeah, I got criticized pretty harshly not too long ago for posting a link instead of a quote from an article. What's with that, anyway? Are people too darn lazy to click on a link? Anyway I feel vindicated by this new copyright rule, even though I think the copyright law is a bad joke...

If I "lost" all my guns, I'd buy Ginkgo biloba.

The bottom line here, as in all such stories, is that criminals and psychos are going to carry their guns anyway, regardless of what laws are passed. It just won't make any difference to them. It's only the honest law abiding and sane people who will be unarmed. And that isn't going to help...

Yeah, I suppose all those guns are hidden in the marijuana and cocaine shipments going South across our border. Scandalous! :mad:

Would I speak to a stranger? Well, that depends on how good looking she was! :evil: Time and place and appearances make all the difference to me. But If I'm going to speak to a stranger, I make sure that my opening remark is jovial, totally unambiguous, and delivered with a friendly smile...

I strongly urge all you Californians to write or fax all your representatives urging support of this bill. I sense a strong current moving among the States toward relaxing gun control and opposing federal controls. Obama's (ingenuous) statements seemingly supporting the 2nd Amendment have...

Well, first off, congrats on being pregnant! :D Seriously, we need you young guns out there making babies as fast as possible. The population is dwindling. Now about your first handgun purchase. For HD any otherwise acceptable gun will do just fine. As to the range, the purpose of your...

I think setting a minimum opening bid is both sensible polite. If you don't want to participate in an auction starting at that figure, then don't. I think undisclosed reserves are stupid and emotionally difficult for the bidders. Here is my auction strategy which has worked well for me in...

Schleprok62 you got it right. If the gun is chambered for 5.56, it will accept either 5.56 or .223. If the gun is marked .223, it only accepts .223. The difference is a small variation in head space between the 2 rounds.

The so called "gun show loophole" is really no loophole at all. The NICS background check was never intended to apply to sales between individuals. The fact that individuals gather for convenience at gun shows to swap and sell their firearms is of no relevance. So what? If you buy a gun at a...
