Depends on the gun or more specifically, the barrel. Steel cases do not "spring back" as much as brass and require more force to extract. In tight (match grade) barrels it causes jams and broken extractors. As for lacquered cases: potential problem is if the barrel gets hot the lacquer will...

The defense ammo should have muzzle velocities for various barrel lengths. Just make sure that you use a barrel long enough to get sufficient velocity for it to expand (assuming it's hollowpoint) or it's just basically FMJ ammo.

I am not sure how or why you would use the word "appeasement" at all. I have lived in California for 50 years. I have seen ridiculously restrictive gun laws put in place starting with the Mulford Act in 1968 signed into law by Ronald Reagan. The newest ridiculous law will ban any purchase of...

How in the world would they know if somebody (like me) who has lived in cali 50 years actually owned the hi-cap and when? I could simply drive out of state and bring in some old hi-caps I got from anybody and claim that I owned them all along. That's the stupidest law I ever read, but it...

The trunk of a car is legally recognized as a "locked container" as long as there is no access from within the car. If the gun is in the trunk, you can carry it in any type of container. The magazines may also be carried loaded in the trunk, they can't be in the gun. I am not sure about that...

Shorter screws greatly increases chances of stripping. Most side plates fit so tight they don't go all the way on, you have to use the screws to seat them. That stresses the threads on the tips of the screws.

Miami has some very strong "citizen rights" to use deadly force. It actually started back in the 70's when Jimmy carter invited castro to send all his malcontents here and they landed in Florida. castro emptied his prisons and insane asylums at our expense. many counties in Fla implemented...

Good luck. Hope you don't end up living in california like I do.....:eek:

Be very careful not to carry any knife with blade sharpened on both sides. Big no no. Pepper spray was legal here in Cali a few years back when I bought large canisters of the super potent 10% strength the cops use.... I bought it at the local police uniform shop.

simple: you just require a buyer to show ID and have their name typed into the criminal database to make sure he isn't a convicted felon or gang banger. Whether they keep records of sales would be optional, but criminal record screen would not necessarily be an undue burden if the system is in...

Since Heller affirmed a citizen's right to possess and use guns in his own defense, they can make no laws which UNDULY restrict that. Banning ammo would be an undue restriction, but requiring registration of ammo might not. The courts will have to hash all that out. That is absolutely...

I don't think there has been a long term shift in demand, but there certainly has been a long term shift in price. makers of any commodity crank the price up until demand starts to drop, hence how gasoline prices take $1 spikes and then drift slightly down.... then another spike after a couple...

The infamous mythical quote about how every day 50 (or pick any number) of CHILDREN are killed by guns hinges on the use of age 21 as the cutoff..... so all the gang war deaths become classified as "children killed by guns".

We can call and email and scream until we are blue in the face. The problem is that the majority of Cali voters are behind gun control and the politicians know it.... so they are not going to come out against gun control because it will cost them their jobs...

I generally watch the Letterman monolog and then punch out because I don't find his show all that entertaining.... but since the gun bill got voted down, he has been doing the same bit every night right after the monolog: he calls it something like "Fool of the night" and he shows the face of...
