    Buds Gun Shop, Online purchases

    Still waiting for my first order. I ordered on Feb. 22. Went to shipping Department Feb 28th. I still don't have a tracking number. Online chat told me to call the shop. Called the number I was given and an automated system instructed me to contact them via their website. I did that...

    Gun confiscation after suicide in Illinois?

    Thanks. The lack of a FOID card makes perfect sense. I am almost positive my sister doesn't have one. I am also sure that if she would have given the sheriff permission to do anything they wanted. Thanks everyone for the help.

    Gun confiscation after suicide in Illinois?

    I am willing to bet if they asked my sister she gave them permission to do what ever they wanted in her state of shock. I am just curious if this was procedure and will his son ever see them again. Thanks for your input.

    Gun confiscation after suicide in Illinois?

    My brother in law shot himself yesterday. There are about a hundred thousand questions going through my head right now. This one is just more to keep me distracted than anything but I would still apreciate any input. When the sheriffs came to his house they cleaned out his gun locker...

    Pregnant women and Shooting?

    DO NOT TAKE PREGNANT WOMEN SHOOTING! being in utero provides about 10db noise reduction and any exposure to lead has the potential to cause problems. If it is a life or death situation I think pregnant women should shoot as much as needed but it should not be a recreational activity unless you...

    Toys 'R' Us: Boycott.

    My TRU letter Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that your decision not to allow guns in your stores hit a nerve with me. I spent many summers of my youth saving up allowance money and recycling money so I could go to your store and buy cap guns. I now have three children of my...

    Richmond Va police officer guilty in shooting

    This is one of the reasons that I choose not to utilize my CPL. I feel like I have no faith that doing the right thing would keep me out of trouble. If I was ever in a situation where my safety or that of my family was at risk I stand an equal chance of surviving a badguy or our justice system.

    Boy, how quickly a handgun feels inadequate

    Responding more to the title of this post rather than the content. I took my kids to a large cat rescue/zoo that is about a mile from my house. They have about a dozen tigers, a few lions and jaguar and bobcat. I was not impressed with how sturdy the cages looked, and I was thinking how...

    Tell your kids they bettr not cheat at school

    One other thing that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else. What else does the Department of Education own? Would it be unreasonable to only carry a shotgun? Do they own any less lethal weaponry? What pistol do they carry? Who trains them? Where? I emailed my senator asking her to...

    Tell your kids they bettr not cheat at school

    While I do understand the potential "need" for weapons while performing their law enforcement functions wouldn't it be more cost effective to use the FBI or local law enforcement if conducting raids? I am very interested in the choice of a 14' barrel. Are Federal agencies exempt from the...

    How should I proceed?

    I was going to make a smart alec (but true) comment about even discussing firearms is enough to be considered a threat in many schools but since you are home schooled your district may have different rules ;)

    I don't understand!!!!!!!

    I'm just a FNG but I think y'all may be a little over critical. I do think it was stupid to turn down the offer to help tighten his ACOG but to each their own. I personally think zipping around in circles on a jet ski or dirt bike is a waste but I don't do that kind of thing for fun. If this...
