I hope I am not drifting off topic. If my memory serves me correctly the governor of North Carolina issued an executive order banning all guns when a hurricane came through the state. I presume he had good intentions, but I also believe there was such a public outcry that an NC law was passed...

I grew up in SC, and in fact Columbia is (was) my hometown. I now live in GA. This "temporary rule" is a local and in fact a national disgrace (as are most of our spineless politicians). No one can even remotely fairly describe me as a racist, but I am proud to be a Southerner as well as an...

Thank you all for your support. I have been shooting for a looong time and have tried many types of firearms, both handguns and long guns. People just have different abilities in different areas. Take Jerry Miculek for instance. He is on the far extreme of good. I am toward the other end...

There is a lot emphasis on inhaling lead containing air and needing positive pressure indoor shooting ranges. I trust these shooting houses are properly vented and air filtered. As for your offer Hammer059, I would love to put a few boxes of 3" slugs through your single shot 12, maybe some...

NOW THERE IS AN OUTHOUSE WHAT IS AN OUTHOUSE. You can poop and plink at the same time.

I will try it again and hope the difference is perception rather than real. Maybe I ate something for lunch not compatible with AR shooting. I really cannot imagine there is anything different on the rifles to account for the perceived difference, however my wife noticed it too. She was in...

Since I can't hit anything much with a handgun even worse than I used to not be able to hit anything, I have to decided to take up the modern sporting rifle. I clearly haven't learned much about them but am trying. I started with an M&P Sport, but a friend wanted it more than I did so sold...

I learned the hard way that you can get lemons in any brand. I had no less than 4 of what is probably THE most popular brand of semi auto All were very reliable with ball, but none would reliably feed hollow points even after a couple trips back to the manufacturer. I won't own another of that...

My experience with Kel-Tec seems to differ from many. Mine new would jam about every other or every third round, HPs more so than ball. After two trips back to the factory it was no better. I destroyed it not wanting any one else depending it. I do know people who swear they have had no...

Can a CLEMSON grad vote too? I just did!

Why do I NEED an AR? Why does Mr. Morgan NEED to be on television? Why does he NEED to be in America at all? I respect his rights, why does he not respect mine?

I don't know about gun values but I do know about hearing. If you choose to go with a brake NEVER fire it without the most ear protection you can get! Trust me, I learned the hard way.

No flame from me. I have access to 9mm, .357, 45APC, and 44 mag, but when I go out, 95% of the time it is my j frame .38 that I carry.

If the police have to fear the police, imagine what the rest of us fear. I believe I would rather take my chances with the criminals. I consider it a sad state of affairs, especially in view of the fact that I am on the side of our police officers darn near all of the time. I would gladly...

I generally shoot only 10 or 15 rounds in a session. I usually take other guns for additional shooting, but limit the J frame usage. I have never shot it enough at any time to make my hand sore, it just ain't pleasant to shoot it that much. I cannot tell any difference subjectively between...
