    Open Carry Funny/Sad at work

    I was at work the other day (I work for a major retail chain) and a man was walking around with a gun on his hip. He had a basket in one hand and had a few items in it, obviously shopping for things for home. One of the managers FREAKED OUT and called security to keep an eye on him and was...

    Is there a "blue book" for guns?

    Thanks for all of the great advice. It has given me a few good places to start my research and get a fair asking price. I knew I could count on my THR buddies for some good answers. :cool:

    Is there a "blue book" for guns?

    I am thinking about selling one of my guns (finances are tight) but I want to make sure I am getting a fair price. When I traded my car I looked up its value on kelly blue book to make sure I got a good trade in price. Is there something similar for guns?

    Walther P22 holster suggestions

    Now...I know we are in a recession right now, but I've always found y'all to be rather giving of your two cents ( :cool: ) so I thought I'd hold out the old panhandlers cup and see what gets dropped in. I recently bought a Walther P22 and I got with it a Fobus paddle holster. The gun snaps...

    To answer a few points that have been brought up: My brother just turned 21 and his CCW is being processed as we speak...he started the process about 3 weeks ago (it can take up to 90 days in VA). We have a list of defensive handgun classes that my sister is investigating. My sister was...

    home invasion scare

    I live with my brother and sister. My brother is an Army reservist so he has no issues with guns. My sister knows about my guns and has even been to the range with me a few times. But she has been reluctant to buy her own gun or become more than passingly familiar with mine. Two nights...

    have you ever had to call the range master on someone?

    A few days ago I was at the range teaching my sister how to shoot, and in the lane next to us was a father and son. The son couldn't have been more than 9 or 10 years old, and the father kept leaving the kid alone in the lane when he would walk off to do ....whatever. The gun the kid was...

    You carry a knife?

    I've been asked on many occasions (about my pocket knife and many other random things like tools that I have handy) "Why on earth do you have that?" The conversation usually goes something like this: Them: Why do you have (insert item here)? Me: Did I just use it? Them: Yes Me: That's...
