58limited, that's exactly what I was looking for. A quick formula shows that the % of homicides committed using rifles has been steadily going DOWN since 1978 from 5.8% to 2.6% today. Those numbers are even better than I had hoped. I just assumed it was relatively flat. Hanguns went up from...

Greetings, I'm having problems using the FBI UCR database they have online. I am unable to lookup years prior to 2004 even though there are links to earlier years. Those links only bring up a pdf file of the table of contents. What I'd like to do is a comparison of the % of homicides that...

Unfortunately, CT likes to follow some of CA's bad laws. There is a core group of anti-gunners in the legislature that like to propose whatever the anti-gun groups are proposing at the time. Back in '93, 'assault weapons' were all the rage & finally led to the federal ban the next year. There...

Realistically, we're going to be spending a lot of time fighting off new anti-gun proposals like the microstamping that passed in CA. There are a few more anti legislators who were elected last go around like Senator Tong who will be pushing foolish legislation. For those interested, he...

Couple items. My reading of the above linked section of the CT statues shows an exception allowing you to bring your pistol to the range if you do not have a permit. There is an indoor range private club in Cos Cob (Greenwich). A few months ago I talked to a guy who shoots .22 competitions...

My local Wally upped their prices on ammo recently. The 100 pack of WWB is going for $14 or 16 (forgot) & .45acp is going for $26! Natchez is selling blazer for $5.99/50 & sometimes it goes on sale for less...

You could check for yourself at the ATF's web site. This is cut & paste from the link below. Note the bold section: ========================= WHAT ARE CURIOS OR RELICS? As set out in the regulations (27 CFR 178.11), curios or relics include firearms which are of special interest to...

YES!! Mine did the exact same thing. My solution was to switch to the velcro clips & put some velcro on the backside of my belts. Very secure & the most unobtrusive option for belt clips if you tuck your shirt. I use either a C-clip in the front, v-clip in rear or v-clips on both. The one...

If you know the serial #'s, ask a cop to check for you.

In CT, the law currently requires State Form DPS-3-C to be filled out whenever a pistol is transferred from dealer to permit holder as well as private sales permit holder to permit holder. Copies of the form are sent to the Dept. of Public Safety (state police) as well as the local police in...

Update: The murderer killed himself when the cops found him on a bus. Trivia point is that he used a .45. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2006-04-16-maine-shootings_x.htm?csp=34

Check out the link below. To summarize, a man was traveling with his pistol (legally) & was arrested at Newark airport. He was held for 5 days until bail was arranged. The charges were dropped a few months later. He is now suing. NYC & the Port Authority have been flouting the law for...

I carry an XD SC almost every day in a Comp-Tac CTAC holster & it's quite concealable. Some of it has to do with dressing to accomodate & many times I have to remind myself to bend at the knees! :rolleyes: The thick grip of a doublestack is the hardest part to keep concealed. I want to...

I have the same pistol & use a Comp-Tac CTAC holster. It's kydex, cant adjustable, tuckable & has a variety of belt clips available. I use the v-clips for maximum concealability. Tucker uses the same holster & puts a leather shield between you & the kydex for comfort. I have no problem...

You sounded great! Now you have to become one of the regular contributors to the show!! :D
