    Disabled DS Vet Pharmacist With CCW Kills Robber

    xbox360 stated: It's called a magazine, not a clip. And you asked, "uuuuuuuuuhh why was a 16year old robbing as store????? and why would anyone rob? " You would have to be ignorant of reality to ask that. Even your Bible contains tales of robbery and other crimes. Man is an animal...

    1911 Improvements.

    Of all the posts this one is the most appropriate. rather than spending $$$ trying to solve your problem, take it to a competent 1911 gunsmith and have them do a reliability check on the gun. Worth every penny if you ever plan on carrying it as personal defense.

    COLT. Buy the original. Doesn't have to be a new one but for the money, buy a COLT.

    Good 1911 Magazines

    I use two (2) manufacturers of standard 7 round magazines: MEC-GAR (MGCG4507N Colt 1911 45 ACP 7rd NICKEL ) and COLT (only those with the proper markings). The nickel MEC-GAR mags are for carry and spares and the COLT blued mags are for range work.

    Has anyone had to sue UPS for firearms damage?

    In my corporate life as a Director of Procurement for a Fortune 100 company, I had two (2) UPS employees fired for the way they handle our packages. The first time we had attached "Shock Watch" labels to each package of delicate electronics (labels that when subjected to X amount of pressure...

    Felons in Kentucky

    Your all wrong! Read the 2nd Amendment - it says nothing about not letting a felony have a gun. They should be issued one when convicted, so as not to trample on their Constitutional rights. Right? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Brady Campaign emotion vs. fact

    The truth is in the eye (and mind) of the beholder - just like statistics that can basically "say" whatever the author wants them to portray). The Brady camp wants their position on guns to be the only viable position. The NRA (and like organizations) want their position to be the only viable...

    "Gangsta Glocks"

    They're cheap on the street because it's the same few guns sold / used / tossed or stolen / re-sold / used / stolen / re-sold. They do lose there street value when there's blood history on them.

    My own custom 1911!!

    +1 to that. While a basic RIA gun is an alright starting point, the Caspian MATCHED slide and frame is as close to the best as one get get without paying a few months house payments. And then fill in all the parts with the ones the majority of 1911 owner / builders have mentioned here and on...

    Firestorm .45's?

    Don't mean to rain on anyone's "personal opinion" posted here, but the majority are just off the cuff and wrong. Cheap piece of garbage. Don't buy it. - 100% uninformed. lower end brand name for bersa? - No. Firestorm is added by the importer to hook up with Bersa good reviews - Wrong. since...

    What is the Latin American Arms Treaty?

    It's not a law; it is a convention*. Big difference and it applies to import / export of firearms between the countries that ratify said convention. Unless our Congress decides to institute new LAWS based on the contents of this convention, nothing here to get too worked up about (IMHO). *...

    gun free school zone

    My brother-in-law lives across the street from an elementary school in Anchorage and he has not ever had a problem - as he NEVER goes onto the school property. He goes to and from his house daily without any concerns that he is not being a law abiding citizen. Check with your local police...
