Am I correct in assuming that to transfer some of PawPaw's firearms to adult kids who live in other states, the correct process is to do that through an FFL? Does this mean I MUST ship those items - or can the paperwork be done in person at the FFL's place of business - and then the physical...

Mind if I pass the idea and phone number around online? Or will that violate OpSec? ;)

Thanks - the company says it's already working on a change. I would be too.

So, I'm sure you've heard one or two stories about some bank or other refusing to process credit card charges for firearms items. We just had it happen to us... or rather, Boise Tactical did. They had some bolt carrier groups for sale a day or so ago. Hubs jumped on it, and ordered a couple...

Case in point: our Walmart has been out of ammo for a month. Last week, I noticed they'd restocked (comfortably) and now were allowing only 3 boxes (total) per customer. Hubs went back in for something else this week, and I asked him to look -- I was curious if people were still frantically...

Well, now that McGrory is governor and the state senate and house are majority Republican... we might just have to challenge them, to stand up and be counted. Don't ya think? :D

Mine signed it. And I got an email back from him... which expressed his displeasure over the 23 EOs and the tendency of this administration to bypass Congress -- and the legislative protocols.

Actually, I'm focusing more on my state officials right now, as the ones we send to DC are a bit tone-deaf... but I'll also include them, just to be thorough. :fire:

And the current estimate of women shooters went up in the last year... from (not 100% sure of exact numbers) 3.x million to around 5 million. I'm also new here and I'd guess being female still makes me a "minority" in the political sense, at least. It has occurred to me, that instead of keeping...

Hurricane shutters are a wonderful way to prevent being seen in a lighted house. They're like blackout curtains. They also make an unattended house, just that much harder to enter. Even though we're not visible from the neighborhood road, we are from the navigable creek. We are very aware of...

Oh my - yes, we did consider a lot of safety factors when buying our house 3 years ago. We're in the Outer Banks - another hurricane magnet. That said, we're a mile from the ocean, do not front on the sound... have direct creek access and watercraft... and can be on a bridge to the mainland in...

Well, The Well-Armed Woman website is looking for local chapter leaders... I have the paperwork and am considering this. Lots of women shooters in my area. Don't count the women out of this debate!!

Virginia's "Civil Defense League" has a good reputation and has been around awhile. http://www.vcdl.org/

Thank you. I'll be sharing the link. I'm hearing all kinds of wild things - on both sides - and what you've written, I hope will elevate the conversation.

Hi there - I'm new around these parts. Very good post! I think it's part of the strategy to marginalize responsible gun owners, also. Sets up the old us vs them - again. We should ask them to describe this "gun culture". See what it consists of. Because I probably don't fit their profile...
