I'm in no hurry for SCOTUS to rule on 2nd A. What if they ignore all the commas and the meaning of "militia," and focus on "bear?"

Thank You All! I really appreciate all your responses. The Applicant had some serious military clearance years ago, did the NRA Basic Pistol Course, has the Florida CCW and is almost at the end of the CCW course (I don't know the exact name of the course.) that he's been doing for months...

I have a very brave friend who has gone through extensive training, works for a high profile person who is frequently embroiled in controversy and has decided he will apply for a concealed carry permit here in Corzinistan. He was told by the State Police that a Letter of Intent must accompany...

Rick, darlin', suppose you do something really really nice for your mom! Happy shooting.

On network news tonight I heard two terms that I've not heard before. The story was about the Sean Bell shooting by NYPD in which 50 shots were fired. As part of the investigation, the Rand Corp. (a Think Tank) will investigate "Emotional Contgion Shooting" and "Reflex Shooting." Is Mike...

This was clearly a missed opportunity to make Ryan a hero....but no...the administrators reacted emotionally insstead of rationally and completely lost an chance to teach what to do about a weapon found in school or anywhere. Edie Eagle should......oh, nevermind! There's too may nasty...

Perchance we shouldn't discount the conspiracy theory. After all, this is N.J., land of the proposed Smart Gun and no real right to carry. What if....an anti brought in a .22 and just took a shot, intending just a flesh would, never thinking it would result in that kind of damge. This...

Owen, darlin' (1) hellinpetticoats comes from a movie (Shadow Riders) in which the female lead (Katherine Ross) is referred to as hell in petticoats. (2) I'm definately not a "Mr." (3) Believe it or not, at the top of The Republik of New Jersey (a/k/a Corzineistan) there are lots of us gun...

Choice of Target So at this range could I use a Hillary target? Do folks at the range normally use pictures of people? I say nevermind the PC route. Call Homeland Security and let them determine if they're GGs or BGs. Wouldn't you feel like a dope if they take out a local school in the near...

Try halting plea-bargains and early parole. I'm asking Alison McHose how on earth they plan to regulate the purchase of ammo. Why can't they just buy it on-line?

Good on you, Barbara, and your posse. That kind of range event takes lots of work done by lots of bodies. It takes real good relationships with those who donate to the event. A ton of ammo goes downrange. Do your local papers do a story about the day? Our local paper does and its a real good...

Excellent X2 Rabid Rabbit, this is most excellent. Not only did you invite a fence sitting, leaning leftie, but also, you invited a female co-worker. Believe me, she will tell a friend who will tell a friend who will tell a friend......well, you get the picture. :)

50% of the population is female I've waded through this long long thread to see if any ladies had stories about their treatment at the hands of gun shop denizens. There were no responses from the ladies. I saw only one response on the first page that suggested shops might be wise to make it a...

Chris, good on you! Sounds like you did all the right things teaching your mom about our gun world. Who knows, maybe by Christmas she'll want one of her very own! I'm a grandma who owns 3 handguns and 4 long guns, and didn't get this gun "affliction" until fairly late in life. It's never...
