Remington Model 700 questioned on CNN I'm reading this article on CNN.com that's got me a little confused. How can any firearm discharge without pulling the trigger? [I] A 10-month investigation by CNBC has found that at least two dozen deaths and more than 100 injuries have been linked to...

I did a review on the Ruger LCR a while back. It's been posted before, but hey, why not. http://www.gunsandtacos.com/guns/ruger-lcr/

Thanks for the sincere tips, guys. It's a shame that he'll need to pony up for a good lawyer to prove his innocence, when there's not a law in place that prevents him carrying in his vehicle. I'm furious about the whole ordeal, and I'm really glad I'm not in his shoes.

Thanks JohnKSa and calaverasslim. He's a young guy (early twenties), and is 'guilty' of wearing baggy clothing and probably a sideways hat. But he is a good kid, and carries a piece in his glovebox because he lives in a (really) rough neighborhood. He works for UPS, and he's never been...

A young friend of mine recently got himself into a situation, and I was wondering if anyone with better Texas gun law knowledge than I might be able to provide some advice. He was arrested several weeks ago (I just recently learned of it). He met a girl on the internet, and she invited him...

I'm not a ballistics expert by any mean, but those Speer Gold Dots, when you get them out of the box, have some kind of crumbly substance/lint in the tips. That can't be good. Other hollow point brands are very uniform and clean. Speer Gold Dots came highly recommended, and that's why I carry...

Thanks so much for all the kind comments! I plan on having more gun reviews on the site in the near future. You guys are awesome.

Hi there! I started a new website recently where I review Houston taco stands and guns. I just did a review on the Ruger LCR, and I thought I'd get your input. http://gunsandtacos.com/guns/gun_ratings/ruger-lcr/ I hope I'm not breaking any rules here by promoting my site, but I'm not...

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6505651.html In front of a run-down shack in north Houston, federal agents step from a government sedan into 102-degree heat and face a critical question: How can the woman living here buy four high-end handguns in one day? The house is worth...

I've been keeping up with some of these events on Twitter, which has been really interesting. Some folks are running for their lives and sending messages out via cellphone, taking pictures, videos, so forth. It's been riveting. It's fantastic that US citizens have taken so much interest in...

Hell, I use Hoppes #9 as cologne. Just kidding, but I don't mind the smell at all. At the range, we use Break-Free to clean customer guns. I think it's a good cleaner, but I disagree with the whole "Gun cleaner/lubricator" tag. You use one solvent to clean with, and another to lubricate with...

shdwfx: Brilliant.

http://ethicist.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/02/give-women-guns/?src=twt&twt=nytimes This looks like a pro-gun article at first, but is obviously biased. There's a comments section underneath, feel free to share your opinions! ****************** The Issue Congress overwhelmingly passed...

There are two statements in this article that do not match up at all: 1. About a third of the guns submitted for tracing in 2007 were sold by licensed U.S. dealers. 2. Most of the guns traced were originally sold by U.S. dealers in border states, with more than half purchased in Texas. Not...

The NRA is using the old Publisher's Clearing House tactics that clearly target their marketing toward senior citizens with unabashed trickery. I appreciate the NRA for what it has accomplished in the past, but at this time, they are only hurting the cause. Their most recent presidential...
