Isn't it illegal for a person to buy a pistol out-of-state as well as to sell one to an out-of-state resident? If so, that means Mr. ATF Agent deserves to be in jail as much as Mr. Bacon does. Of course, I know that isn't how it works and that I'm hopelessly naive, but if it's illegal for...

Maybe the development of pre-flintlock ignition systems... would be a good topic for an "informative" type of paper.

Ha ha-- I like that idea. Wouldn't mind having a bourbon shoot around here one day... I like this idea. Around here though, it's liable to be 90 degrees on November 5th-- we'd have to shoot them fast! Of course, it could also end up being 40 degrees. We will have some shoot the string, split...

Wasn't sure if this or "Competition Shooting" was the right forum for this-- it's a muzzleloader shoot, so.... The Escambia River Muzzle Loaders will have our annual fall meat shoot on Sunday, November 5th. We are located in Escambia County, Florida just north of Pensacola. We will shoot paper...

The above quote by waterlady501 in post #36 is untrue. Here are aerial photos of the property in question-- the gun range property is outlined in red. These photos are available on the Escambia County Property Appraiser's website: http://www.escpa.org/ "Middle of a residential area"...

This... http://www.extremeshockusa.com/ This one has been mentioned on THR before-- always makes me laugh. Even if the ammo is good-- which I tend to doubt-- that over-the-top website would probably not appeal to many non-Mall Ninjas. They even have tactical muzzle loading bullets!

The gun range I belong to is having a similar problem-- neighbors complaining about the noise from a gun range that has been there for over 25 years when most of the neighbors haven't been. Here's what really chaps my hide about the whole thing though: I live in a subdivision- type housing...

Rifle-- My grandfather's old Winchester Model 62A .22 pump-- you can just feel the quality every time you work the action. Pistol-- Browning .22 Challenger II-- it's my "okay, just one more magazine" gun when I'm at the range. Several more magazines later, it's still "okay, just one more...

The thread on Badger Guns has me wondering a couple of things: 1) I guess this question is aimed at gun store owners and employees-- how do you spot a "straw buyer"? Is it really obvious? Or would it be subtle clues that someone not in the business would probably miss? I hope that isn't a...

Wow-- that almost sounds like something from The Onion... Too bad it's real... -Chris W.

I've never shot a lever-action rifle-- I feel so un-american...

Walter Williams is one of my favorite columnists-- he has the ability to take complex problems and explain them in a way that even I can understand. Here's what he recently had to say about price gouging. Makes sense to me...

Well, I guess if we're talking any firearm, I'd go with an original LeMat revolver or a Colt Walker. Or maybe an original Colt Dragoon... this one, for instance: http://www.gunsamerica.com/guns/976563439.htm -Chris W.

From the Pensacola News Journal-- a paper that I find to be pretty pathetic on non-gun issues too... "I suppose a state where everyone is presumed armed and dangerous would deter crime to some extent."-- at least she got that part right...

I've ordered from them two different times. I needed a trigger/bolt spring about six months ago and a hand and spring about a month and a half ago-- both for a Pietta 1860 Army. Both orders were accurately filled and delivered in just a few days and the prices were reasonable too. I'll order...
