I still prefer the 'gray man' approach when it comes to my car. We were all outraged when the NY paper published a map of gun owners and in a way a sticker does the same thing. If a criminal sees an NRA sticker on your car in the driveway, they'll be sure you have guns.

There is a chance that NY overreached so far there will be a backlash. The NRA should keep up a membership effort there.

They're accomplishing the virtual equivalent of confiscation from law-abiding citizens in New York to some extent by criminalizing possession of mags necessary to operate semi-autos, many of which will never have 7-round mags produced.

We went for over 50 years after the NFA before the Hughes Amendment introduced a temporal rift in the price of full-auto firearms. Not a single machine gun was used in a crime during that time.

Bushmaster is in for a rough time of it.

If the sound of shooting is a concern (check it out for yourself by standing outside and having someone shoot in your basement) and presuming you don't have a suppressor, try out some Colibri ammo.

First one that came to mind was the Beckwith Incident written by Massad Ayoob. http://www.afn.org/~guns/ayoob.html Actually, it was 36 round mags in a full-auto S&W Model 76, used to defend against attackers at his gun shop in Florida. He had an AR too, but for whatever reason he had the mags...

Here's a great site for finding estate sales in your area. http://www.estatesales.net/ In my experience, guns aren't that common (but they are out there, some in a sale this weekend), however I have had a lot of success with furnishing my house nicely on a budget.

They also have a writer (who happens to be female) who has done an excellent job of covering Fast and Furious.

For $300 I'd recommend a 10/22 for training AND a Mosin 91/30 to satisfy his urge for something with more wallop.

His original post was mainly about daytime solutions with guns throughout the house. That's what I was addressing. A small bedside table safe of some sort is best for that, with little kids in the house. There's plenty of talk about in this thread about teaching kids to leave guns alone, but...

Her idea is the best and safest. Any other solution: A) Costs more B) Leaves you separated from your gun when you might need it in an instant C) Is either slower because a gun is somehow secured or leaves it vulnerable to kids Never underestimate a kid's ability to climb, investigate, and...

Just stop by the county sheriff's office next time you're in Washington. IIRC, you might want to check ahead of time what form of payment they will accept, I think I just took cash. It was something like $55 for a 5 year permit. They'll issue to you regardless of what state you're from, the...

When we CCW, we are in the field.
