i have tried to find something along these lines in the past. the problem is, when trying to find something with easily verifiable credibility (such as police reports, data gathered on court cases etc) they group all handguns as one. a mechanically related AD is rare in and of itself. NDs...

just my opinion, although i do support open carry, i wouldnt advise it. but, if you do, dont half conceal it. it makes people MORE uncomfortable to see something half hidden than blatantly visible. my reason for not advising open cary, is although in certain areas it is legal. but it tends...

When I'm cleaning after use: 1911=20 Mosberg 500=15 XDs=10 And my black powder... Well let's say about an hour. When I actually detail them meticulously, in upwards of an hour each...

I see several issues. Unlike a firearm, we can't check the code on the bullet as it is being written up for sale. Unless somehow all the codes are in the barcode when scanned. Besides that, I see few if any manufacturers complying as production costs and times would be increased only to sell in...

Even the tool box? That's a man's last frontier!!! My wife won't even cone into the shop where I work so I'm good there...

its always been natural to be at camp with a gun. in fact, it became a regular deal. when i was younger, we would go hunting for about 3 weeks at a time, and the area we were in (even if the Game and Inland fisheries denies it) had cougars transplanted to help take care of some game over...

i gave this a try earlier today, and seeing as i only have 45 in a handgun now, i had to work with what i had. i found it odd i dont flinch with a rifle or shotgun though.. but anyway, i fired several mags into my backstop constantly trying to watch the slide and brass first, then once i found...

I don't really think its the caliber. I'm not afraid of the noise, I'm not afraid of the recoil. I think maybe I'm just still not completely sure I'm ready maybe. I wonder if its just a time thing? Maybe I just answered my own thread. Not completely sure at this point.

No. My wife is bi-polar and unfortunately should not have access. I have no intention of teaching her to use them either. Luckily her father was a city slicker who thought guns were bad. And there fore never let his children near them. She has shot before, but I am very careful with my firearms...

A while ago I went on hiatus because of an encounter, and I quite honestly respected my firearm in a new light. One that made me want to leave it in its case. After some time I'm getting back into shooting. My question is, I've developed a flinch, and don't know how to get rid of it. It's...

The farthest I've ever successfully killed a deer was at 67 yards. I was using some old muzzy 125gr fixed broad heads and my inherited golden eagle compound.. I first shot at 20 yards, believing I missed when it finally stopped I estimated it at 70 and did my best (no pins over 40 yards)... I...

We normally use 12ga slugs.. or 00 buck if its what we have. I'm always out there because we have a 50$ a head Bounty on coyote... Other than the 12ga ill use a .270... Maybe that's overkill, but it the only rifle I have besides 30-30, .308, and 7.62x54r...

We cannot assume the OP was tricked into anything since he has stated that he was given what a reasonable person would consider probable cause. A description of his car, reported shots fired, and being in possession of a firearm. And do not believe the LEO would hold him at gun point unless...

But unless we see a report, or the OP takes this to court we cannot assume the officer was lying to skip the red tape. Once again, this would have to come up in court before we can determine the officer did not have probable cause, since the search has already been performed.

The OP states that his specific car was reported leaving the area. And you are right, plenty of cases have been tossed. But many haven't. For Probable cause an officer must be able to point out "specific and articulable" facts that would indicate to a reasonable person that a crime has been, is...
