After long consideration and some research, I decided to blow some good money on a suppressor for my Glock 19. I tried finding a local Class III and gave up on the fool after months of following up to see if he'd done anything. I went to the city to a shop that actually sells suppressors. The...

To justify I'm an unmarried professional with a smallish collection and have recently grown introspective, questioning my personal philiosophy and future. I'm growing less materialistic as I age, and I think the tack I will begin to take is one of simplification. I will begin shedding the...

Info God bless your grandfather, one of the dwindling number of that greatest generation. Your Walther is late war and beautiful. Sometimes the recoil springs are weak in these old guns and can lead to failures to feed/eject. You can buy replacement springs, but why not just clean is well...

caption For the second poster: "Times change, the Second Amendment doesn't."

I contacted a class III dealer in my town and he said he'd charge $100 for the transaction of arranging for me to buy a pistol suppressor. Is that a fair fee?

My arsenal Well, I came to realize that the one-and-only gun I owned - a pistol for self protection - was unnecessary as the police are my protection and I pay good tax dollars for the service. So I tossed the revolver as far as I could into a local park pond, after hammering it with a sledge...

My "incident" resolution Yeah, I know a little about transporting firearms on airlines, but TSA and the airline agents know even less. I wrote Delta a letter about being detained and abused by TSA agents when I attempted to legally transport a Remington 870 and Makarov pistol. After two...

recoil spring I've found that older PPs recoil springs are often weakened and replacing them with new springs usually resolve the problem. I think Wolff makes them or Numrich. Good luck.

The humor? Most political cartoons, usually satirical, have an element of humor to them. I don't find this funny in the least. A weak attempt.

My interpretation That "unloaded firearms" card is not on the website so I went with the regulations as posted on the website. And as it shows on the card, one must have the gun in a hard-sided suitcase AND a locked container. I simply concluded that I had met the requirements for both as my...

Prediction Yeah, I can predict their response, in summation it will read like this: Dear ________, We regret your inconvenience but your suitcase, while hard-sided and lockable, is not approved for transporting firearms. You're splitting hairs, understand? Our Delta ticketing agents...

Nice catch Midi [So they _are_ thinking that this is a case within a case scenario. You are right by inferring what is meant on placement of the tag, but this is not posted on the regulations on the website and the only way I would know what the tag said was when I showed up at the airport...

one way "Babbalanja: How was your trip in the other direction from the one where you had trouble?" I brought the firearms only one leg of the trip, so no problems without them. Hey, maybe that's the solution, just never travel with them:rolleyes:

My letter I went ahead and wrote a letter to Delta, the text of which appears below: Delta Air Lines, Inc. Customer Service P.O. Box 20706 Atlanta, Georgia 30320-6001 1-4-2010 Dear Customer Service: I write you to recount an incident I had while checking in for Delta Flight 4703...

Good point, but The TSA agents knew I had a Samsonite lock key as I gave it to them to open the case. They never said anything about having locks that they couldn't open. I also doubt that there exists many common locks that they could not open. But I see your point, however, this was never...
