I have a S&W model 39-2 with a serial number A578XXX and was just wondering if anyone out there could tell me about how old it might be. I suspect it's older than me (1978) but would like to know for sure. I know there's a book out there with the approx. dates but I'm not a collector, just...

Always glad to hear of responsible firearms education. Looking forward to the day I can take my kids shooting. (They are still too young yet, though I plan on starting my daughter with archery next year when she turns 4) He did a good job too! Hope he stays interested and grows up to be...

Exactly, who would be for violence? Anyone attacking a non-violence group would be seen as being for-criminals. I hear the argument a lot that the Brady campaign and most anti-gun advocates are really pro-criminal. I understand it and feel it's a correct position but it falls on a lot of...

Joined the NRA Took my Father in Law to Family Day at the Range Changed my mother-in-laws position of "why do you need a gun?" to one of complaining about the length of time it took me to get my FID card in NJ. I plan to try and reach out to a few people I know who are middle of the road...

There's also the state level NRA group ANJRPC: http://www.anjrpc.org/ And the NJCSD: http://www.njcsd.org/ Though I would be interested in hearing of any others as well. This is a tough state to be in for gun rights but it's not the worst place you could be.

Ok, so I'm sick of seeing all these various sites that are really just another Brady site in disguise. (Gun Guys, 50caliberterror, freedomstatesalliance, etc...) I was also thinking about how the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence site produces a score card that isn't scored by a state...

They do have a list of all the states here. I wish I knew how they came up with their ratings. D.C. is missing from the list. (Though with the former ban on handguns probably would have scored well on this list) It's depressing to know that my state comes in at #2. I need to get out of NJ...

Just get a reliable 1911. From what I understand, most of the unreliability of 1911s is due to tightening things up for accuracy. Of course the HK lineup is very similar to a 1911 and has a polymer frame. Also well known for their reliability.

Since she's not inexperienced, bring them all to the range and let her try each one. If she doesn't like any of them, off to the gun store! Best thing to do is to let her decide. Nothing wrong with showing her a few she might like and if it's the grip she's concerned with (and not the recoil)...

I will if NJ ever gets around to approving my FID card!!! :fire: Oh well, they should be doing a background check on me anyway as they do for the FID card and the pistol purchase permit I'm getting. So if I can, I'm in.

I can't see it working for something like bradycampaign.org because of the name. (trademarks typically tump ownership... look at the etoy.com dispute) However, gunguys.com is fairly generic and would be a very cool domain name to have. There's no trademark that I'm aware of for gun guys... and...

Thanks for the feedback everyone.... Especially Dave, you certainly have started a number of 101 posts for us newbies.

The average age for a president is 55. George Bush Sr. was 64. Reagan was 69 (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Presidents_by_age) As long as he's healthy, I don't see what the problem is.

Hi all, still waiting on the PRNJ to approve me to buy things so I'm doing a lot of research. My plan is to get a handgun, a shotgun and a rifle. The rifle I plan on getting is an M1 garand primarily because of the history but also I plan on target shooting with it. I plan on going through the...

Levy for president in 2012? I don't know what else he stands for yet but as a Libertarian he can't be all bad. Since he's already famous for this case, the media might pay more attention to him than some of the other candidates the libertarians have offered. He may not be interested but I...

capwiz appears to be a 3rd party solution (ie. not something developed by GOA) so it's probably not in the best interest to block them because emails probably come from their servers for many different issues. (most likely including anti-gun) So I doubt they will be blocked. Just tried it...

Probably a default configuration for their firewall and it probably varies from location to location. (ie. someone cared enough to remove the blocked sites) One thing you might want to consider is talking to the manager. I don't know how Panera sets it up but if each panera has their own...

I think for most people it's merely misinformation combined with a lack of prior knowledge. If someone grew up without knowing anyone who was a responsible firearms owner then I think it's safe to say they probably have no knowledge other than what the media, in the form of movies, tv shows and...

I don't mind a liberal viewpoint, sometimes I do agree with them. However for someone to write an article with so many factual inaccuracies is astounding. Just a couple things.... Ummm... hate to break it to you but it's not the government's job to protect it's citizens. (Except maybe from a...

I think people ask what they should do to their guns to get ideas of what to do. Nothing that says he has to take our suggestions. :p Anyway, I'd change the grips first then the sights. I'm planning on getting a MilsPec which has already has the dovetails cut and a lowered and flared ejection...
