Please....get motivated and sign this petition! Only 14,000 signatures from a population of 65 million? https://www.facebook.com/GunbanEU/photos/pcb.1044348695586510/1044346705586709/?type=3&theater Even the smaller EU states with populations of 5-10 million are managing that many :)...

Where I live, all the pistol and semi-auto rifle shooters tend to be younger and all will do the training courses to get certified to compete. The only times I ever feel unsafe is when some older (hunter) shooters turn up at the range. Most haven't had any firearms handling training since...

I use them on 223 and 308 (2 for each calibre, one dirtier and one for finishing) They do a perfectly good job of regular/quick cleaning and can be washed when dirty. Some folks will point out the fact that even after using a boresnake, you can swab the barrel with a traditional patch and...

Some bullet to be pushing a deer backwards. :eek: Every animal I've ever shot has had too much mass to be moved by a few grams of lead, no matter how fast it's travelling. Maybe a reactive twitch or a simple crumpling collapse of the legs, but I've never managed to move one more than that.

Is your enjoyment of action/war films reduced by your knowledge of firearms? So you sit down to watch some action adventure or war film... and find yourself noticing all sorts of errors. It's always been there, right from those cowboys who shot 50 rounds without reloading a revolver. But...

You see the holes in the backstraps on the right?

You only take out the pin that's on the actual backstrap.

Sorry to snip a section of your post, but I agree with this point :) All the talk of stopping power between ,45 and 9mm is relatively meaningless. Anyone care to guess what % of enemy contact situations call for a handgun? And in what % of those situations would the difference betwen...

Maybe the wrong pair. If so, I can sympathise :) Keep smiling :)

There's no arguing that the M&P feels better in most people's hands. But for me, the "feel" isn't everything. The G17 just feels more rugged and mine has taken a massive amount of abuse and neglect, and still performs flawlessly during IPSC. The Gen4 backstrap options made a big difference in...

"Actually"....if you would care to slip on the specs and re-check my post, you will see I wrote that the rules are there to protect us from the stupid and careless. I did not write that the rules are there to protect the stupid and careless. Here it is again:

The rules are there to protect us from the stupid and careless, and the rules needs to be clear and easy to understand for everyone. If you start adding situational conditions for whether the rule should be followed or not, someone with less up-top is going to make a mistake one day and someone...

You could be correct, however it looks like it is pointing at him. I don't know "ElevenBravo" and am unlikely to ever meet him. I have no reason to make any personal criticism. My main motivation is gun safety, something I have been a teacher of in the past. The facts stand: 1. It looks like...

Congratulations! A handsome bear. But the first thing that jumps out of your picture is the careless disregard for gun safety. No matter whether it's empty or not, a firearm shouldn't ever be pointing at anyone. This isn't intended as a pop at the OP (clearly beyone help :) ), but simply a...

I hunt moose with a suppressed 6,5x55 with 10,1g quality rounds (full power). The suppressor allows me to shoot without hearing protection (IMO opinion, shooting without a suppressors and without hearing protection will, over time, make you a deaf old bat and less effective at hunting). The...

I run a Stag (with the plus package). Haven't had any problems and would buy another. In fact I would buy any of the known mid-range brands (Stag, RR, Smith, Colt, LMT, etc.), with the exception of Bushmaster (apparently they are now owned by a different company, who "may" now milk the brand...

I'll join you in going off-piste, but only because you quoted some of my text :) On that same logic, the UK would not exist either. However methinks that both countries would still exist but in a different form. Still, no point to argie over today. I agree that France (and the UK's) allies...

May I take the liberty of pointing out that France happens to be the most successful military power in European history. Out of the 125 major European wars foughts since 1495, the French have participated in fifty (more than any other European country). Out of the 168 battles they have...

How about you just stop spreading misinformation. Did you bother to check the links I posted above? I guess not. Semi-auto rifles are not "totally prohibited" in France. They are regulated, yes, "totally prohibited", no.

In this situation, had the police turned up quicker, the last thing they would need is a gang of gun-touting, have-a-go-hero, John Waynes, getting in the way. This means each and every person with a gun in hand needs to be assessed and disarmed by the police, who have no idea if any of these...
