    A good source for links to news of shootings stopped by CCW?

    Does anyone know of a place, website, facebook group, etc. where one can find news links about shootings stopped by lawfully armed citizens? We all know how the media sweeps this under the rug when it happens. "Armed Citizen stops shooter" is something that happens, but will never be a...

    Conceal carry etiquette in someone's home

    If I'm wearing it, it's an article of clothing. If it's underneath my outer garment, it's an undergarment. I see no need to make discussion of my undergarments, but I'm not a bashful person and will discuss it if asked.

    How Hard does The Firing Pin Hit

    Strikers operate in the same manner as hammers. When fired, the striker is accelerated by one spring, gaining momentum which pushes it against a second spring. Were it not for the second spring, what would retract the firing pin?

    What's your favorite 1911 grips?

    That sounds like the sort of thing I could live with and think no big deal of it. There's another version of their double stack pistol that comes with the grip I want on it. http://www.slickguns.com/sites/default/files/5156747320060.jpg Actually, with the beavertail and different hammer on it...

    What's your favorite 1911 grips?

    I like the Hogue rubber wrap around one with the finger grooves that I put on mine. Now I just need to find one that fits the RIA double stack 1911 I have on the way. Supposedly grips made for a para P14 are very close, but the screws are just a bit off. Hogue lists one for the P14, but not...

    Disturbing family facebook post

    It does not sound to me as if she has expressed an intelligent enough thought in order for it to be deserving of a response. Vaguebooking is annoying enough anyway

    TV shows and anti gun propaganda

    Given the way he's holding that thing, I sure hope he's not pointing it at his dentist, or he's about to have two problems. Is it a pistol grip/no-buttstock like it looks in the picture?

    TV shows and anti gun propaganda

    I've been watching "24" on netflix. In the last week I have noticed: --Any handgun drawn from a holster makes three clicks. Hammer passing half cock, hammer passing full cock, and I've never known what the third one is, but I think they're just using the same sound clip every time. Even...

    Any reason not to move to Missouri?

    Proximity to the People's Republik of Illinois is the primary drawback. The further away from St. Louis you can get, the better it is.

    "We Need Long Guns!!" - Boston PD

    I try to practice the inverse Golden rule. Do you think the police would have lent me a rifle if I said I needed it? I think there is your answer.

    Ebay?

    The last stuff I sold on ebay (recently, this year), ebay fees accounted for over 10% of the final value. Paypal takes it's percentage too, on top of that. (3 to 4% or so?). 14% is more than the margin on a lot of things, I don't know how the people with ebay stores do it. I was just selling...

    Low or No Flash powders

    I did not know that. I have two bottles of different AA powders that I've never tried. I may have to work them into the next batch.
