I really want to know where I can find knives on par with Bark River, for cheaper, and that offer a lifetime warranty. Can you list a few? Also, I didn't come across any thing during my knife research that would suggest they had questionable customer service and business ethics - can you...

http://www.barkriverknifetool.com/ They make excellent knives - in the USA. They have a lot of options too. Their knives are convex, which is the edge I prefer. Very, very sharp.

Yes, this is known as the "Collateral consequences of criminal charges". Simply paying your debt to society through incarceration or fines is not enough. A lot of felons can't finds job... or even vote, depending on the state. What does this do? Many of them find it easier to repeat old...

My girlfriend didn't like the fact that I had guns, let alone kept one within reach almost all the time.... that is until two people decided to let themselves in to our apartment, she in one room half-clothed (sleeping) and me in the other with a pistol drawn at our uninvited guests...

I can't speak for the rest of their weapons, but I really, really like the HK45. The ergonomics made it feel like they developed it just for my hand. I shoot this better than any other handgun I have had the chance to use. The reliability is excellent, with no failures after 1k+ rounds. Was...

It is a good thing the carrying in national parks is now legal. I wonder if this sort of issue swayed government towards allowing it? Just imagine going out on a wilderness hike and running in to some armed drug traffickers. They don't want ANY witnesses.

What if they announce they have a warrant and proceed to kick your door in? How are you going to call the police up and wait? Do you draw on them and hope they are, indeed, impersonators?

The 5.7mm round has a comparatively large muzzle velocity when compared to other handgun rounds. It comes in around 2.3k FPS (depending on the ammo). The initial design (SS192 5.7mm round) was to defeat body armor - having a steel penetrator and aluminum core, but not even our own ATF has...

You'll never convince her without making her uncomfortable. You've been a responsible gun owner, so her fears appear to be mostly irrational. Most phobias are only countered when exposure is made to the fear and it slowly (sometimes quickly) dissipates. If someone were scared of spiders (I...

I think this is interesting in that no actual firearm sale is taking place over Paypal. While Paypal is facilitating a transaction that will ultimately result in someone winning a drawing for the weapon, the money isn't directly being used to purchase the gun. With this logic, if I sell...

Now only if there was some way to get all of the feral cats to move to Florida.... :D

I am going to guess that he had FMJ loaded in the .380 I have a .380 pistol (among others) and my defensive rounds wouldn't send someone to a hospital a few hours later... maybe a morgue if they waited that long.

Are there actual incidents of decockers hitting the firing pin? I thought it was mechanically impossible. EDIT: In any event, you can also thumb the hammer while decocking too, and let it down gently. Two layers of safety :)

If you are concerned with a round in the chamber, check out the HK45/HK45c. Like a 1911, it has double and single action. It has a feature (decocker) to drop the hammer without hitting the pin, so you can safely put the weapon in DA mode. The safety is located on the side too. Pulling the...

I think there needs to be some clarity on two items: 1. Did you reach for your wallet without telling the Officer about the weapon? 2. Does WA state law dictate if you need to inform Officers if you are carrying? In any event, I think he overreacted after he verified you were licensed. I...

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e55_1234305715 That could have went REALLY bad, but the home owner was alert and had a firearm nearby. Look at those punks run!

http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Change_you_can_download:_a_billion_in_secret_Congressional_reports These include studies done for the AWB. I read a couple of them and they were unbiased and presented for Congress. I just can't believe the AWB ever happened after reading some of them...

Thanks for the insight every one. As for the Walther not being enough firepower, that is arguable - I also have a Springfield XD 9 loaded and chambered in my bedroom. In the office I also have a 12 gauge saiga-12 (w/ the tromix-type mods) and a 10 round (loaded) magazine that are easily...
