Of course not all home owners go through thousands of rounds in their firearms either. I don't think that someone needs to shoot that many rounds or practice THAT much to be "compitent". I have been around guns my whole life. I have hunted, target shot (for fun), and sight my rifles in every...

Even though I personally keep a handgun for HD, I agree with macgrumpy. Of course,not everyone leads the life style where they can leave a shotgun or rifle laying out. Even if is is just over night. Not to mention that a lockable case next to the nightstand that size is unacceptable in most...

You have not demonstrated anything to be false. Unless you can fire a shotgun at close range and have every single shot spread out evenly and enter in its own hole with none following behind it then you have done nothing but prove me right. Are hung up on buckshot or some larger load? We are...

It is factually completely correct. You are not dealing with each individual shot passing through its own hole. You have lots of shot following other shot through tissue damaged by the leading shot. At the beginning of the impact the tissue is compromised. It's repeated impacts in multiple...

This is correct. You would have to be a moron to not agree with this. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

In the video the shot was made through a sheetrock wall before hitting the ballistics gel. Just saying. You can argue all you want on here. Bird shot is definitely lethal when used within moderate range. This being within a home. The damage to a human body would be catastrophic. You talk like...

A "cut" shell is more than adequate. If you have never done this or seen it done you really shouldn't comment. Old timers around here used to take down deer with a cut shell made from light loads while squirrel hunting. Almost like shooting a slug. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

I keep reading response after response from some of you guys about the capabilities of bird shot. Comments like being only good for point blank range or maybe put to 2 - 3 feet. Are you serious? Bird shot from a shotgun can be down right lethal from across most rooms in a home. If not, it can...

I would go with 20ga. Mainly because it would mean a smaller and lighter barrel than the 12ga. May have a better look and feel when when matches with a smaller barrel like .223. With the right ammo a 20ga will be plenty of gun. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Funny you would post this. I picked up a new pair of jeans a while back that had an extra "cell phone" pocket located between the right front pocket and right rear pocket. I didn't even realize it was there at first. Although it isnt wide enough to actually fit a cell phone in, it is easily the...

I have a heritage rough rider with both .22lr and .22 mag cylinders. It's only a single action but I really like it. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

They judge is a point and shoot gun. It's for those who understand the reality of a middle of the night break in where there is no time to grab your gun, turn on the lights, and take steady aim to hit your intruder. When you are startled from sleep and have someone coming into your room you need...

Actually you are very wrong. Transfer refers to changing ownership. Borrowing is perfectly legal if the lender and borrower can legally possess the firearm. I have included a few legal quotes as well as a link referring to interstate transport of firearms. It is a really good read if you are...

Can your wife carry your gun? Yes, of course. Can someone else? Yes. As long as they are legal to do so and have your permission. As far as "crossing state lines" goes, it generally depends on the laws of that particular state. I know that some states conceal carrly laws require you to carry...

I don't think there is anything wrong or illegal with that as long as you have permission so it couldn't be considered stolen. In some states it is required to have a firearm registered. This would be something you may want to check before borrowing. Kind of like checking on insurance before...
