I have an old M77 (tang safety) that's been collecting dust for a while and have been thinking about selling/trading it to something more useful to me. Gun has a laminated stock, blued and is exceptional (9.5/10) condition. It has a Leupold Vari-X III (I believe a 4.5-16x or similar) that's also...

In KY the laws were recently revised and you can carry a loaded handgun in any factory installed compartment. Previously it was just the glovebox IIRC. This was changed around a year ago so it may not be a bad idea to print the statute and leave it in your car in case you run across an LEO that...

THR is such a valuable source of info for anything firearm related I don't even know where to start. I've picked up a lot of tips to improve trigger control, safety, accuracy, introducing new shooters, firearms history, reloading, etc...just about every related skill to be honest. However what...

If you truly feel you may need it for defense against wildlife the 44mag is clearly the better round against large game. The 45acp is probably the better round against bipedal animals simply due to higher capacity, lower recoil for follow-up shots, ability to carry more ammo, quicker reloads...

Can't answer the question regarding the actual importation, my best suggestion would be speak to an importer. They do it every day for a living and should be able to give you an answer. But...why? The Glock .380 guns are identical in size to their 9mm/etc counterparts so the only thing you gain...

x2 I would do my research to verify she is within the law, leave it in the car and never mention it to anyone. Outside of some high security facility I can't see any employer routinely searching cars.

Not bad for around $450. If you want a 22WMR Mk II/III you've just found the answer. I've always liked 22WMR for some reason and used to wonder why there aren't more rifles or handguns chambered for it. Recently though my interest for the cartridge has fell off, mostly because of the price...

IMO if you're looking for something to carry on your ankle you really need to be looking at something like a LCP/P-3AT or at most an LC9/PF9/CM9/PM9/etc. Weight is going to be a lot more noticeable on your ankle vs belt or anywhere else and I would want the lightest possible handgun I felt...

IMO a single stack auto is easier to carry than just about any revolver because most are much thinner. Especially for IWB carry I find thickness is the most important factor...for me. That being said, if you really prefer a revolver there's no reason not to go with one. A J frame sized gun is...

Radagast, Thank you! The help is much appreciated, always nice trying to find the history between your family's firearms.

a) "38 S&W SPECIAL CTG" b) 4" ? c) square d) 6 e) half moon with beveled/stepped front f) D314*** g) 10-5 Trying to see if I can get a more exact date on this gun. Second "older" S&W I have and excited to know a closer approximation on the date than I could find googling around. Thanks in advance!

I believe this is correct and the applicable statute is KRS 237.110. Section 15 states you must produce a CCW license if asked by LEO and there is a noncriminal violation with a $25 fine if you are unable to produce a CCW license (while carrying concealed of course). I am not aware of any...

That was my current plan. If the rifle is functional and I could purchase it for $150-175 I would feel like I got a good deal IMO. Most Yugos I see online go for at least $300 anymore and after shipping/transfer it comes out about the same as buying locally (~$350). The Norincos are even more...

While at the LGS I spotted a Norinco SKS that appears to be in good condition with a $220 price tag on it...cheaper than I've seen any SKS in a couple years. The only problem is the previous owner bubba'd the rifle with a camo paint job (stock, receiver, bbl, everything). The bore looks clean...

As far as I'm aware that is all that refers to CCW in KRS. I have heard people mention some obscure 1930s case law brought up in CCDW classes and online but have not seen it myself. I agree, I would be very surprised to see a conviction or even someone charged with illegal CCW in their own...
