    Is there such a thing as a 'justified' shot in the back?

    Two observations: One, LEOs have to be MIGHTY careful about shooting at a fleeing suspect. I know some cops and they were trained that the "fleeing felon rule" is well nigh ironclad. In Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985), the justices held that deadly force "may not be used unless...

    Contact your Senators!

    McCaskill's response was a hellova lot better'n Cornyn's or Kay Bailey's. Both gave a butter-wouldn't-melt-in-their-mouth reply. Had to rinse my mouth out after readin' 'em. Half threw up. Saw a bumper sticker t'other day. Had just 4 words on it. Legislation Registration Confiscation...

    Cleaning My FNAR

    Thanks, guys. Seems counter-intuitive for a dirty bbl to shoot better than a clean one but you are much more knowledgeable than I am. Damn! Gonna miss that special time with Ma Bell after a range trip. For me, there's something calming about pulling oily patches through the bore. But if...

    Cleaning My FNAR

    I have an FNAR (semi-auto, sub MOA, shoots 308 win and 7.62x51) that I keep scruplously (OK, almost obsessively) clean. I was taught to clean a rifle while at OCS at Quantico (had it literally beat into my skull). The procedure was fairly simple - field strip the rifle, run oily patches down...

    Possible "Iggorant Noob" Question - Boresighting

    Thanks for the replies. As the redoubtable Screaming Eagle said, I have an FNAR and CANNOT simply "look down the Bbl. Second, as I said earlier, when I first tried zeroing a (not exactly expensive) reflex scope the thing was shooting incredibly high - at least compared to the sight. I...

    Possible "Iggorant Noob" Question - Boresighting

    Thanks, folks. The scenario I was considering was to get the relief set at the house and go to the range to zero the scope - actually I have two, one for short range, 100 yds and less, and a second for longer range. What I am trying to avoid is wasting a lot of ammunition getting up to a...

    Possible "Iggorant Noob" Question - Boresighting

    If, instead of shooting at a target (at half a buck a round) I were to place a laser in the chamber and align the reticule of my to match the laser point at 25 yards? Would THAT not zero the scope for 25 (and also 100) yards? I'm not cheap, folks, just not rich. I know the people here...

    desire opinions on 7.62x51 black rifles

    FNAR Anyone? I haven't seen anyone posting about FN Herstal's nice black FNAR. Handles BOTH .308 Win AND 7.62X51 (not all will take both, most want one or the other) and CDNN Sports was selling them for approx. $1,100. The FNAR is a 1 MOA rifle that with practice can do sub 1MOA groups...

    Issaa threatens ATF with contempt re: Gunrunner

    ED_N is on target. Our DOJ has already shown that it will not enforce certain laws on certain classes of people - the Philadelphia voter indimidation case from 08 - and that it will not defend certain statutes - notably the Defense of Marriage Act - against court challenges. Why should we...

    Question For FNFNAR Owner

    Thanks, G27. It is definitely on my "to do" list for after I earn my Rifleman patch from RWVA. If conditions are such that I need to send lead a quarter mile down range, I will need to be able to reacquire targets as quickly as possible. Please forgive my ignorance, but don't muzzle...

    Question For FNFNAR Owner

    I figured you owned one. I was hoping someone might know of a bolt-on solution. Been reading over at the FN Herstal forum Bill_Rights provided the link to. Getting the same story. About "threading" the barrell. I trust that is something a gunsmith would need to do? Again I was originally...

    Question For FNFNAR Owner

    Thanks G27RR and Bill_Rights. Yeah, I meant FNAR. Danged fingers get tangled up sometimes. Sad thing since I OWN an FNAR - and love it. Post edited to correct dumb****e mistake. OK, so I'll look at B_R's link. Was hoping someone here owned one of the beasties and had considered the...

    Question For FNFNAR Owner

    Anyone here own an FNAR? I have a couple of questions about the feasibility of some upgrades/modifications I am considering to mine. Please PM me if you will. Please note that I am NOT interested in Tacti-Cool alterations. :barf: My questions are in regards to the...

    Homeland Defense Rifle on a tax return budget

    By all means go to an Appleseed weekend. Heck! Pay $20 for a membership and keep going back for free (except for the range fee) until you earn your Rifleman patch. You cannot HELP but learn something - A LOT in fact.

    2 .308 Questions

    Just about have enough for the FNAR I've been saving for (don't ask me what I want it for so I don't have to tell you to MYOB) but have 2 questions about other things related to the weapon. 1. Scope: I'm not interested in 1,000 yards. I would have a hard time SEEING something as small as a...

    AR180 Vs AR15

    Welding Rod and briansmithwins, I have seen Ar180B's advertised for $850 or so. Most Ar15's I've seen seem to be in the $1400 - $1600 and up range. IIRC, these were for new but I AM getting old and they say the memory is the 1st thing to go - can't remember what is supposed to be the 2nd thing...

    AR180 Vs AR15

    Not trying to start a wizzing contest but I just wanted to get some input on the AR180 vs AR15/M16 family. What is there that is so great about the AR15 to make it cost/worth roughly TWICE what an AR180 does? They both fire .556 but is there anything in the barrel design, mechanism...

    Are militias the new boogie man?

    What they will (doubtless inadvertently) use militias for is to set off a civil war. All it will take to set off a full scale rebellion is another Waco or Ruby Ridge. The Hutaree are total nut jobs. Racist bas****s with no redeeming values at all. But if the Feds kill one of them in a...

    Can I hand carry to an FFL in another state?

    Holy Do Do!! If I read 18 USC 922 (a)(3) and (5) correctly, both the person transporting the firearm AND the person receiving it are felons. I wonder, and any legal eagles here please chime in, does 18 USC 922 (a) prohibit me from buying a gun privately in an another state than the one in...
