    Keeping a gun at the ready?

    Ever see the episode of Psych where Detective Lassiter pulls out a gun from a bowl of nuts on his counter to shoot the bad guy, and then explains that it "wasn't the only one they missed"? Suffice it to say that I was inspired by that scene enough to invest in covert storage options for my home...

    Looking at a Beretta ARX160 .22. Your thoughts?

    Until today, I had no idea this gun existed. I've watched a couple reviews, read the Beretta website, etc. It appears that there's some confusion over whether or not it's actually made by Beretta. My main question is if it's possible to convert it to .223/5.56? Does it use the same lower as the...

    Whatcha gonna get with your Tax Return this year?

    I'm going to be getting into the world of reloading. Sort of. I just purchased a 300 Blackout pistol upper a few months ago, and the ammo choices are slim in my neck of the woods. I was hoping to get a Lee Classic Loader kit, but I don't see one for 300AAC, so I'll probly be getting the Lee...

    Are you a collector or a shooter?

    I'm a shooter. I can't stand the thought of having a gun that I would never/rarely shoot, because I love shooting guns more than talking about/looking at them. I know this because I've purchased a few wall hangers and oddities, and I've gotten rid of them all so I could buy guns I wanted to...

    Gun club background checks?

    I've been a member of 3 different clubs, and none of them ran background checks. The largest club was when I was living in western MN, mostly because it was the only one in a reasonable driving distance with a rifle range longer 100 yards. I mailed in a check for my club dues and was sent the...

    Do you correct someone if they refer to a magazine as a clip?

    There are two times I'll correct someone. 1) I like to poke fun with my friends and family when they do it. If we're shooting, and they ask if I have an extra clip, I'll hold up a mag and say something like "Nope, only got these things". 2) If I'm at the gun store and looking for a mag, and the...

    A Legal Issue with Firearm Serial Numbers

    One of the first guns I ever bought was an old 16ga single shot at an estate auction. The auction company had a dealer on location to do transfers since there were a lot of guns in the estate. The only markings on the gun were "Riverside Arms Chicopee Falls MA" and "Patented August 12, 1913". It...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    I recently traded a Ruger Single Six for a pristine Sar K2-45. I'd been searching for years for one, and I couldn't be happier with it!

    Case of judged by 12 than carried by 6: Woman in NYC shooting

    Hate for people to be unwilling test cases. Hopefully the community (we, the gun loving community) will step forward to help out.

    Gee, I wish they made a......

    I agree! I'd love to see something like an H&R in 338 or 300.

    Ruger just granted your wish. The new Ruger PC can use Ruger or Glock mags.

    Mind if I ask why?

    What is your caliber footprint?

    I used to be all over the board, but as my tastes have matured I've developed an appreciation for having widely abundant calibers that are available pretty much whenever/wherever and are utilized in a wide range of platforms. 22lr 9mm 38spcl 45acp 223/5.56 300 Blackout 12ga Very near future...

    Purchase Question.....

    I've purchased a few guns over the internet, but only ones that have stellar Manufacturer warranties (Ruger, S&W, Taurus). Otherwise, I recommend you take your time and function check the firearm before transferring. Bring a new snap cap (to check firing pin strike) and a mirror/flashlight to...

    2nd Generation gun nuts in the making

    My girls are 6, 4, and 2. The 2 year old doesn't like ear-pro so she doesn't get out of the truck, but the 6 and 4 year old love ringing steel with 22. We go over the gun safety rules every time we go out, and no shots are fired without dad or mom right behind them. If my girls decide later on...
