It never happened because of scheduling conflicts, but my current employer wanted to pay for everyone to go to a CCW class. Might help that our pilots are REQUIRED to have their own gun. (Tax write off, anyone?) But, yeah, private property, they have the right to say no to guns. You don't...

And a Happy New year to you, from the other side of the Inlet and Peninsula. (PAKN)

It just seems to me that anytime someone posts a dissenting opinion, or one that doesn't fit with everyone else's, they are shut down. I don't care if it's on TV, be it FOX, CNN, NBC or online. I'm really NOT trying to be argumentative, just have a good discussion without total agreement on a...

Well apparently I am one of the Ignoramus gun owners. The thread I started asking why should I own one, was shut down by a mod for reasons I disagreed with, but he's the moderator, I'm not. So please, educate me. I could say the same thing about an airplane. The only people who don't see...

Well I didn't know Springfield had that kind of CS. Fortunately I will be able to send it without any hassle. Living in bush ak sometimes makes shipping much more difficult, thus the question. Fed ex doesn't really service where I live. You can't drive to here from anywhere. I am convinced it's...

I picked up a Springfield Ultra Compact 1911 a couple of months ago and finally was able to shoot it the other day. It was used, but had very little wear. From the price I paid, I figured someone had had feeding/jamming issues with the gun and didn't want to mess with getting it fixed. Took it...

No, I keep it in my vest that I wear almost every day. I'm a heli mechanic.

I am looking for reasonable, logical responses. I have yet to hear anyone give me a good reason why I should spend around $1k for an AR-15 or the like. (I have considered M1A's though.) I've been asking this for several years. Now since the elections and the recent tragedies, the AR has been on...

Don't know much about the 7mm-08, I'll have to look it up. The short magnums hadn't thought about, I'll look into them again. For a varmint gun though, wouldn't the barrel burn out quicker? As I said previously, I reload. The problem with loading a 110 gr. round is using a ton of powder...

In the Sylvester Stallone movie, "Oscar" one of his henchmen had a vest load. All concealed.

I already have a .44 mag carbine. Ruger, it looks like a stock 10/22 until you see the hole in the end of the barrel. I forgot about the .257. I have a friend that has one. I'll ask him about it. I've considered the .243 but I don't know. Getting an AR with more than one upper might not be a...

Yes, WWI was brought on by all of the treaties that were going on. Kind of like the way things are starting to get aligned right now. Lot's of treaties happening now in the world. That website I mentioned talks about avoidance a lot, and yes you are right many times situations are made worse...

I am looking at getting what I would consider a light caliber rifle at some point but don't really know what I want. I have a couple of .22's and a .30-06. I am considering something kind of in between. Bolt/semi doesn't really matter to me right now. I'd put a .270 or .308 in the same category...

I found a website when I was in college. www.nononsenseselfdefense.com Really good thoughts on the thing on how to interpret what's going on. I am convinced some of that info got me to see some things and avoid a major confrontation in Chicago while in school. Maybe some (most?) of you don't...

As to the starting load for the 320 gr LFNGC, the H110 is compressed a fair bit with the bullets. I don't have a chrony so I can't say what the speed is. It packs quite a wallop though. Cases are fine. I may just bite the bullet and get some more 240's or smaller. I live in bush AK and have...
