    Gun Control and Nuclear Weapons

    As most of you know in United States v. Miller the Supreme Court ruled that only weapons that are useful to the militia are protected by the Second Amendment. In my opinion, weapons of mass destruction are not useful to the militia. I will admit there are some military bases that could...

    Thanks all for the info. That's interesting, I'll make sure to check it out.

    California concealed carry laws

    Hi, I've been away from the board for a while, but I've come back because I have a question. (I tend to write long posts, so if you don't want the boring story just skip to the end.) In my political science class, the instructor told a story of how he was carjacked while visiting his...

    Letter to my Senators

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembered.

    Who Was That Fat Lady?

    I'm not a lawyer, nor am I an expert on firearms laws, so if I'm wrong about something, please correct me. In United States v. Emerson the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that the Right to Bear Arms was an individual right. Then later in Silveira v. Lockyer the 9th Circuit Court of...

    Motel Safety

    Well, Psssniper, get on with telling the full length version! The short one has been entertaining so far.
  7. Q

    We were confronted by a bum the other night

    Here's a question for if you encounter a homeless person who is behaving irratically/suspiciously and asking for money. This situation is assuming that the person is not acting blatantly hostile and that you are carrying a weapon of some sort in your pocket, and it seems like the person will go...

    Why so much hate for the DU?

    This is my first thread, and it may not make me many friends here. Please note that I am talking about gun-control related threads on the Democratic Underground, not their politics in general. I first stopped by the Democratic Underground to check out the "full-auto revolver" thread that was...

    Repeal the '86 machine gun ban!

    I'm entering a reminder into my cell right now. I am interested in this project, as I would like to own a fully-automatic .22lr in the future, and I realize that I will probably never be able to afford it. I can't really help with money, being a broke college student, but I will do what I can.

    Harsh Words over Dragon Skin Certification tests

    Full torso flexible level III protection? If this stuff lives up to its claim, I wonder what the small arms world is going to do to keep up? Will level III body armor protect against steel core 7.62x39? Or do you have to go up to level IV for that kind of protection?

    How young to shoot?

    I'm bad with dates, but I was shooting BB guns since before kindergarden. I was shooting .22's since maybe first or second grade. Many children get their first rifle at the age of 10, and they usually have been shooting with their parents well before that. So I'd think that it would be fine...

    CCW on a University Campus

    It could be worse. I could be going to school in England. I guess I should really be counting my blessings.
  13. Q

    CCW on a University Campus

    We're not even allowed to have pepper spray on my campus. In fact, now that I think about it, my steak knife might even be contraband. :mad: Like someone said before, it is probably an issue with federal funding as I live in a very gun friendly state. Last year I took a pistol...

    Which five and why

    A pre-'64 Winchester Model 70 in .375 H&H for hunting. A Ruger 10/22 for plinking, hunting small game, and all around inexpensive fun. A Remington 870 that I can configure for both home defense and busting clays. A M1A, for SHTF purposes and hunting things that are too small for the...

    Shooting ranges in North Pole/Fairbanks AK

    If you go down South Cushman a long ways, on the left there is an outdoor range that is free of charge to use. Fish and Game has an indoor range on College Road, I haven't been there yet I've just seen it from the outside. If you are on the UAF rifle team you can use the indoor range on...
