    10/22 high capacity mags

    I need to check my 10/22 mag situation, but I can use a couple. Just checked the Butler Creek website, and it appears they no longer offer the steel-lipped 25 round mag's ... am I reading that right? Surprises me, because I've always felt the same, and as I recall, those mag's were going for...

    Storing Rifle in Ford F-150

    Zero Chances ... there isn't enough room under the front seats for the safe. Would be inaccessible, or couldn't bolt down. ReadyontheRight ... neat idea, but apparently not available for my vehicle (2001) ... I think the overhead "console" would interfere (sunglass holder...

    Storing Rifle in Ford F-150

    Been frustrated about this for awhile, and want to settle on a solution. We have an extended cab F-150, and I'd like to be able to carry hunting rifles / shotguns, and a Marlin 30-30 from time to time. I've seen the over-the-seat fabric-type rifle holders, but I'm looking for something...

    Any GOOD books on history of gun control.

    Try contacting Alan Korwin at Bloomfield Press ... he will know. He does publish the Supreme Court Gun Cases. Great, great source ... very nice guy. On a more philosophical note, read "That Every Man Be Armed ...", by Halbrook. Excellent, long-term history of the human right to self...

    Open Carry. Yes or no?

    Poll doesn't take this into account, but sometimes it's a workplace policy / politics issue. No open carry in TX, and I did occasionally open carry in AZ, while hiking. But, around clients and most business associates, no. Not a good idea. I'm not interested in elevating political statements...

    Ottawa may soften on guns

    Someone, somewhere is bound to eventually ask if this is truly the best use of resources. Eventually. Privacy and human rights issues aside, economics does tend to win out ... Regards from TX

    Let's hear your POSITIVE LEO experiences

    Most of my experiences have been positive ... A couple, for starters. We purchased a "fix-up" home about 13 years ago. I was in the front yard with my pregnant wife and youngest boy, planting an Ocotillo (Sonoran desert plant) ... they are covered with long spines, and we were trying to...

    A change in terms after the AWB sunset?

    What will make this impractical is that some number of current "post-ban" AR's will have their barrels threaded, and flashhiders installed. Not too many care about the bayonet lug issue. "Ban-Era" guns would be another option. I don't see a need to differentiate between current "pre-ban"...

    WMD Attack Thwarted in Jordan

    I agree, this incident needs more attention. Assuming the facts are as presented, this was a very, very big deal. Considering as well the sad news this morning from Basra, and the murder of 68 men, women and children, I would sincerely hope more Muslims are waking up to the danger within...
