In Illinois If your wife doesn't have a f.o.i.d. (firearm owners i d) card and she uses your gun even if it's for self defense she'll be in more trouble then the b.g. if he lives. you'll also lose your gun and maybe have your f.o.i.d. card revoked. this is what I was told by a local street cop

Here’s the situation, In Springfield IL where I live, we’ve got an armed nut job doing robberies. He’s pulled something like 7 in 3 days, shot one victim (not fatally) and tried to shoot another but the gun didn’t fire. Our local newspaper has an online edition that has a feature where readers...

for me, taurus by a (pardon the pun) longshot

ain't it though the one and only time it all feel into place for me, I put 10 rounds in the center of the target and "cut" the X out. I was so proud I had the target matted and framed. In case anyone is wondering, it was a 9mm Taurus PT92 at 15 yds and the target was a replacement center for...

that it's ok to open the cylinder of a revolver then close it with a snap of the wrist, I cringe everytime I see that

I don't know if the ch chunk would work every time but I do know it worked when someone was trying to come in my house. As my brother put it the bg instinctivly knew he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and fled. the cops picked him up a few blocks away and he was outraged that they...
