    What is the most gun friendly state?

    When it's nice here, it's great, but this year has been a real washout, so much so I was up at a shooting hole in the mountains last weekend and there was almost no snow 2/3 of the way up. Most years we'd be looking at several feet at the base of the entrance making it impossible to get up...

    What is the most gun friendly state?

    There are definitely two sides to Washington, the dry side helps to balance out the libby wet side containing Seattle. As Evergreen said, Seattle is definitely NOT gun friendly, in fact it's probably among staunchest anti-gun cities in the States, but luckily the dry side balances things out...

    Pro-2nd Amendment/Pro-gun stickers on your vehicle?

    I had thought about it on many occasions but being that I travel into Seattle often, I don't want a brick through my window when I park down there... It's a sad reality, but one I'm sure would prove true given enough time and the general mindset of the average Seattleite.

    What kind of gun oil do you use?

    http://www.slip2000.com/slip2000-EWL.html I have never seen it in any gun stores, even the smaller stores catered to more specialized weapons and equipment. It's worth buying IMO, I haven't used more than a 4oz bottle in the last year on all my guns, and I like to keep them clean and...

    What kind of gun oil do you use?

    Put me down for Slip 2000 EWL too, been using it for a few years and it seems to be good stuff, doesn't run and doesn't burn off after just a few rounds in my AR.

    HDF suit on Hawaii's unconstitutional carry laws

    This is very interesting to me as well, as I am considering moving over there in the near future. IIRC it's the HPD that 'decides' who gets (doesn't get) a CPL, sounds corrupt and illegal if you ask me. I have family on Oahu and I have spent a lot of time there, from what I've seen the HPD is...

    First 1911 Recommendations

    A Springfield Loaded or Colt 70 Government (my personal favorite and just about 750 for a nice used gun, a little more new) would probably serve you well.

    yet more legality of sales?

    Oops I forgot to add the handgun part to my post, oh well, at least other members are astute enough to point that out this time of night.

    yet more legality of sales?

    For FTF sales you and the buyer/seller have to be residents on the same state, per federal law. As far as MO resident in WA state goes, you cannot buy or sell FTF legally in WA if you're still considered a resident of MO, for that you'd have to work something out with an FFL.

    1911 Reliability

    I have a MKIV 70 Series Colt Gov. and it's been my most reliable gun, never malfunctioned in any way and more accurate than I am. A buddy of mine has an XSE which is a 80 series and same story; never malfunctioned and extremely accurate.

    Washington and California Clay Shooting

    Off the top of my head I can't even think of a single gun range actually IN Seattle city limits... Maybe someone else could chime in. Wouldn't surprise me if none existed, though, being one of the most left cities in America. Anyway, there is a place that has a nice trap range in Renton...

    Question on CZ 75

    Very durable and reliable. Unfortunately I am selling mine due to reasons not related to disliking the gun (trust me, I would NOT be selling it if I didn't have to). Sure, I only have a few hundred rounds through mine, but in that time it's been flawless and I've fired a few CZs with upwards...

    Wa state alert: Seattle mayor will ban guns

    It would be great to see good old Greg out of the Mayor's office in Seattle, but unfortunately I think he'll get a lot of support up here becuase the area is so far left. I've lived here all my life and every time something like this happens it's pretty easy to get a read on the local's...

    Wa state alert: Seattle mayor will ban guns

    He's not a Wa native. Not too surprising here, but he's from Chicago, IL.....

    The million dollar question: I'm looking for an AR, which brand?

    So you're saying you would prefer a Stag over a Colt or Sabre?
