In the past, I've flown Southwest with all manner of firearms. It's a gamble as to who you'll draw at the ticket/check-in counter. Best practice is to know what needs to happen per the LAW, and per the POLICY. Knowing both is very important. For example, I've heard horror stories from...

Forgive me, I don't know much about NYS gun laws, but is this 7-round limit per person, or per magazine? In other words, can you carry spare ammo? Not that it makes anything really that much different, but I'm curious.

He clearly has not really "got" what people were upset about.... Oh well.

The point about not having the right to use them irresponsibly is both true and false. If using the right irresponsibly causes no harm to others, then sure - have at. But all too often, someone else is harmed in some way (property damage or worse), and in that case, we have other laws for...

This may be a dumb question, but if she's in her mid fifties and has not ever shot a gun (my take on the phrase "absolute newbie to firearms"), what is the rush to get her to carry concealed? Why not go through a bunch of familiarization first, allow her to develop her own opinions on firearms...

Your very first post is a little... odd. Not to offend you, but posting a four word question (without the requisite question words common in English) is going to get either no response, or a dogpile of various jests and maybe even calls for banning a new troll. Come back and try again - as...

No big deal. They're right - the pricing was essentially the same for the last year that I had a dealer account. And it DID irk me that I couldn't get an EVEN BETTER price on some things when there was a discount code. Honestly, I have not missed my dealer account one bit.

Shouldn't have been an issue, but I agree with the sentiment that if there is any issue to be had, it is with the double-standard of letting a uniformed officer of the law get away with something that is verboten to me and mine. As for the comments basically saying, "I hope/wish the police...

The agriculture inspection station "interview" usually goes like this: [As I'm pulling up at about 5mph] Inspector: "Any fruit?" Me: "No." Inspector: "Have a good day." [Hit gas, continue through] It's *barely* a checkpoint. I cannot remember the last time I saw any passenger vehicle actually...

Okay, here's the law citation on that part (section 626.9): http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=pen&group=00001-01000&file=626-626.11 Section 626.9 states an exemption to the Gun-Free School Zone Act: (c) (2) When the firearm is an unloaded pistol, revolver, or other firearm...

Here's the Office of the Attorney General official take on traveling with firearms in California: http://oag.ca.gov/firearms/travel Although they don't say it, I would suggest that anyone traveling temporarily in California NOT bring magazines that can contain more than 10 rounds, just to be on...

Bullet buttons are work-arounds to make rifles that would otherwise be assault weapons (CA state's definition, not the true definition) legal. Anything under the "named ban" is banned regardless of configuration. Non-named receivers that can be configured so that they would be "feature banned"...

I've instructed hundreds of new shooters in my life. It's almost universal that I see eagerness to "get the right stuff." After one or two classes, those people who had the income available to get what they were told was "the right stuff" almost invariably suffer from buyer's remorse, and end...

I love Monk but they get stuff wrong ALL the time. Like when one suspect killed someone with a ".454 Ruger Casull" (yes, they said it just like that EVERY time it was mentioned). Or how about the one where a guy is shown holding a stainless autopistol of some sort (too hard to tell what...

It seems clear from the article that ArmedBear linked that the real problem came when people were unwilling to leave the area when told to (in compliance with law). Not the fact that (one) was wearing a t-shirt with a candidate's likeness printed on it. I agree that we need to keep control of...
