    How do you feel about Dicks not selling “assault” rifles?

    I'll never spend a dime at Dick's or any of the companies who think it's fashionable to distance themselves from the NRA. Smart corporate executives realize they are only accountable to their shareholders. Foolish corporate executives who simply pander to political interests will likely see a...

    does anyone own a saturday night Special ?

    I'm not aware of racist connotations but I do remember the term being coined by gun control control advocates in support of the Gun Control Act of 1968. That prohibited importing so-called "cheap guns" used to commit crimes. I admit one of my first guns was a used RG-14.22 that would spit...

    Bare shelves here, how about there?

    I visited my favorite LGS last Saturday and it was very depressing. I arrived a few minutes before 9AM to snag the last parking space while 15- 18 guys were lined up waiting for the doors to open at 9AM. Normally this place is very well stocked with a nice assortment but it looked like it had...

    Freedom Group Ethical Takeover Proposal

    Quite possibly the most idiotic proposal I've seen yet--- and the idiot bar is already at an all time high. http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/27/opinion/macintosh-gun-firm-takeover/index.html?hpt=hp_c1

    Christmas memories

    Like most of us, I got my share of die-cast single action style cap guns with cowboy holsters. My all-time favorite Christmas gun was a large plastic battery operated machine gun on a tripod that made a loud "click clack" sound when the trigger was pulled. A red plastic tube cycled in and out...

    S&W 5906 from CDNN or Wideners

    I recently purchased two CDNN 5906s in "select" condition for $330 plus shipping. I was very disappointed in the condition. One had very deep pitting under the grips. I wasn't expecting anything great but these were filthy and well worn. They were what I'd expect of the $275 guns from...

    HK45c vs Sig P220 compact

    You stated, "I've been looking for guns to carry with me in my car". Does this mean you intend to keep the gun in your car and not use for carry purposes? If so, a Glock is the quintessential "car gun" in my opinion. I strongly prefer SIGs and HKs for other purposes but it's hard to beat...

    Anyone here have a Sphinx AT-380?

    H&r 999

    I have a 999 which is a safe queen in perfect condition. I've been looking for some time now for one in at 85- 95% condition but they NEVER seem to surface at gun shows or the Internet sites-- regardless of price. I guess folks are just holding onto these things. I seems good old capitalism...

    California gun sale?

    KC, as I understand it, private party transfers between two California residents is legal after a 10 day period when a California FFL processes the paperwork. I believe out-of-state sales (via the Internet) between myself and a California resident would not qualify as a "private party...

    California gun sale?

    I've had just two traffic tickets my entire life. I'm going to decline the deal because no gun is worth the POTENTIAL problems this could cause. I sincerely appreciate everyone's sound advice and insights. It's unfortunate that California has these rules..... a friend told me this morning...

    California gun sale?

    Here's where I'm uncomfortable... if I can't legally sell it to somebody in California but I'm knowlingly participating in an alternative method of making it available to them.... isn't that breaking the law too? Even if I had his daughter send me the funds, I have still knowlingly participated...

    California gun sale?

    I advertised a S&W 36 on the Internet and a gentleman from California contacted me to purchase it. I understand California's "drop test" gun law makes this impossible as it's not an "approved gun". Now, here's what he has suggested. He wants to send me the money but "sell" it to his...
