I would like to buy some sort of EBR in .223 or .308 (preferably both) with plenty of mags. Same goes for several semi-auto pistols. I also would like a substantial stock pile of ammunition for all those weapons. The operative word is "like to". I don't want to purchase stuff on credit and my...

Where is the safety placed on the Maverick? I looked at the Mossberg/Maverick website and the photo for the Moss 500 Persuader 8 shot looked virtually identical to the Maverick 88 Security 8 shot. What are the other differences between these two guns? The safety position can't be the only...

Saving Private Ryan The Matrix

Must be a real pain cleaning those things.

This is the height of naivete. Did the existence of the 2nd amendment prevent the Clinton assault weapon ban? Or any of the gun control measures that came before it? Yes, the election will affect gun control laws. If Obama is elected, all the gun owners who voted for him (or didn't vote at...

2 guns and 2 calibers so far: .22lr & 9mm

I picked option 2. But I might be willing to open up on a survey by a gun friendly organization like the NRA.

Thanks! :)

Someone mentioned in the Smith & Wesson forum that S&W will be running another rebate on pistols starting Oct 1: http://smith-wessonforum.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/520103904/m/2271036423 Does anyone have more information about this? Like a link to the offer details and rebate coupon? I am about...

Thanks for the tip. I will have to try this. I just started using firearms less than 2 months ago and I've noticed that my finger automatically goes on the trigger unless I'm consciously thinking about where I'm putting it. I need to break that habit.

Does the BATFE ever spend time investigating real criminals who are buying and selling guns on the black market? Or is the only purpose for their existence to harass law abiding businesses over paperwork errors? I agree with others here that the BATFE should be shut down and their legitimate...

Thanks everyone, for all the welcomes (and warnings from the 12 steppers ;)). Are you sure about this Ray? I've dry fired it a few times, but I checked the manual beforehand. On page 20 of the manual it says: The rifle can be "dry fired" for practice as long as it is empty and pointed in a...

It's a Ruger 10/22. The "Deluxe Sporter" version. Hey, I know it's not much. But I hear your first gun is kind of like your first girlfriend and I'm in love. :D I can't wait to go try it out. It's my first purchase after taking a basic pistol course last weekend. Next up is getting a...

List of Bad Firearms? Is there a website that has a list of firearms with known safety problems? A list of manufacturer recalls would also be helpful when purchasing used firearms. If not, someone should create one. This is something I would prefer to be proactive about instead of waiting until...

IMO, when a tragedy like this is truly an accident and there is real remorse and acknowledgment of the errors (if any) made, there should be no prosecution. What is the point of turning an honest citizen into a criminal and ruining the next 5+ years of his life over an accident? Our justice...

Glenn Beck sounds more like a morning DJ than a political commentator. I can't take anything he says seriously. If he didn't attempt to inject a comedy routine into almost every segment, there wouldn't be any reason to listen to his show. Unfortunately, Beck and the other political...

Here's a real attempt to disarm a criminal that didn't go so well even though they out numbered the gun man 4 to 1. Obviously they weren't trained in disarming techniques.

You mean like this clerk did? Why should the victim have to play Russian roulette and hope that they aren't being robbed by a criminal who would actually shoot their victim?

36. It's nice to see that a good 1/3 of the voters are 30 or younger. That is better than I thought it might be. After reading posts on THR and other gun sites for a couple months I have become acutely aware of how America's gun culture is slowly dying by attrition. I did not grow up in a...

I don't live in Florida, but I'm curious as to what he voted on and why he was so keen on trying to justify his vote to 2A supporters. Could you provide some more info on the legislation in question and how Bob voted? Maybe post a copy of his email?
