A salient point, BerrettaProfessor. I've made a minor edit.

Greetings all, Every now and then I get fired up and write a piece on common misconceptions regarding firearms. This time it's about the idea that people with a lot of ammo are somehow bad. Take a read and let me know what you think...

Do you have a link to the entire interview? I'd rather reference the entire thing if I can. Even if she's talking only about "assault weapons", it's a valid point, though I agree the snippet may be more damning than the entire interview (as is often the case with soundbites). Edit - I found it...

After hearing so many people say that, "no one is coming for your guns", I got curious as to how often confiscations have happened, or even how often they are considered by legislatures. I found a lot of people asking the same thing, but found only pieces of information here and there. I decided...

Thanks! I obsessed over the domain name for far too long. Glad to see that someone likes it!

Thanks all. I'm hoping to put out one a week or so. I'm also open to suggestions for topics.

I don't post much here anymore. I've been a member for so long that I remember when my post count reset because of some change I've forgotten. :) I was idle for a while, but recent events have got me back in the fray. At any rate, I decided that since I can string words together into...

It depends. I've been shopping for a pre-lock 4" 686+ for months (just found one). If it's pre-lock (a 686-4 or 686-5), and a 4", $800-1200 is what they're going for online these days, depending on condition. If it's a pre-lock and any other length barrel, $700-900 in the past few months...

The problem isn't New Jersey. The problem is the crappy cities in the NE of NJ. I just did some digging and some math. The following counties are mostly close to NYC with a couple of exceptions, but all of them are the homes of the biggest cities in NJ: Essex, Passaic, Camden, Mercer...

My wife used to be vehemently anti-gun. She's come around for the most part, but still thinks certain things based on what the media barks at her. She's entitled to her opinion, and I wouldn't dream of trying to force her to think differently. With a rational person, showing them proof is...

I believe FL non-resident permits have been a no-no in PA since Feb 1. That's why everyone in NJ scrambled to get a Utah non-resident permit. Looks like that was a waste of money.

I don't have an A7, but I do have a Sako 85 and a Tikka M595 (predecessor to the T3) The Sako 85 doesn't have any plastic on it. The A7 and Tikkas have a fair amount of plastic on them. The magazines on the A7 are plastic. The extended mags on my Tikka are metal, but the standard mags are...

Have you been watching the news? My "shame" is becoming the country's reality. One state at a time. Sure Texas may be last, and who knows what will happen next, but if you think ridiculous laws and rulings like this are confined to places like NJ, then you've got your head in the sand.

I vote for Sako too, but then that's what I bought. I like Tikka's too. I do have a Remington PSS in .308 that's a tack-driver, but it's got $3000 worth of stocks, rings and scope to help it along.

BB Guns have been "firearms" in NJ for 40 years. Get used to it. It's only a matter of time.
