The author doesn't say anything about hollow points being better than FMJ in the book that I recall. That is just an overall observation I made from the 16 incidents documented in the book. Reading the book you can come away with a lot of conclusions. It makes sense to me, personal protection...

That gun store is like 40 minutes from my house so I didn't really want to drive out there when I could just call. Despite the few problems I've had there I really like the place. It's on the way to my dad's hunting property and I often stop on the way to buy fishing lures or ammo. Plus, like I...

I don't know? Reading that book which basically just documents cases of self defense. Almost all the cases where someone was shot multiple times with FMJ the perp ran off or kept coming. I had hollow points for all my pistols but my XD45 and after reading that I ran out and bought some hollow...

Has anyone here read the book "Thank God I Had a Gun"? I ordered it off of Amazon after hearing Tom Gresham interview the author on Gun Talk. After getting it I couldn't stop reading it. I even caught my wife reading it and she doesn't care about guns. One interesting thing I took away from the...

That perfectly describes a LGS around here. This old guy has a gun shop attached to his house. Every time I go in there he's BSing with someone and I can never get a word in edgewise about an actual gun I'd like to buy. Plus his store is the size of a phone booth so when people are in there...

I have a few rabid anti-gun people as friends on Facebook. One guy in particular that I get along with pretty well as an online friend is extremely vocal about his feelings on the subject. Every so often I write my own little diatribe. I just posted this earlier on my Facebook page. Disclaimer...

This guy acted like he was moving heaven and earth for 25$. He told me it's not worth the cost in labor. Even though when I came in the guy was standing there shooting the breeze with another employee.

I don't even bother looking at used guns anymore, usually people want more than they are worth. However, I've been offered to buy used guns for a pretty good price by people needing quick money. A few months ago a guy offered me an S&W 629 .44 mag with a scope (not sure the brand of scope) for...

I understand his point about places like Bud's taking their business, but that doesn't mean he gets to lie to me. I didn't mention everything he said to me because he wouldn't stop talking and it's a lot for me to type. He admitted that gun stores price gouged when the demand was really high not...

It has been a long while since I have posted on this forum. I usually just use it as a resource, but I have to relate my recent experience using the FFL of a local gun store. So I let my buddy know I was going to order an AR from Bud's Gun Shop. I told him to let me know if he becomes aware of...

Problem there is, he wants the 5 round mag, and it's out of stock.

My dad asked me to find factory original magazines for his Remington 541-T .22 rifle. Anyone know a good site to find one?

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/orl-bk-kicks-for-guns-081409,0,2158289.story I'd copy and paste the story itself but I want you to see the pen gun. I have one question about this story. Was that WWII pen gun worth more than a fifty dollar gift card? It seems to me...

What in your opinion is the best pepper spray? I just purchased two cans of "The Disabler" 15% OC spray from the local army surplus store. Does anyone have any experience with this brand of pepper spray?

I'm assuming you didn't have a problem with the 94 assault weapons ban, and don't have a problem with the new democratic party proposed assault weapons ban? I'm just trying to figure out where you stand on the second amendment?
