    Interesting Comments Overheard in California Mountaineering Shop

    Could you please show which code prohibits open carry in unincorporated and non "prohibited" areas?

    The PAM Syndrome

    No, you have that backward. Precision is the repeatability, it's all of your rounds falling into one small hole. Accuracy is having that hole be where it's supposed to be.

    Background Checking Yourself

    I wouldn't necessarily go that route, because if an employer doesn't care about it, they won't care. If they do care, they may well have a background check that would uncover it, and it's possible that they might be willing to look past it, but not willing to look past you lying to them about...

    Background Checking Yourself

    Most companies providing background check services simply purchase records in bulk. Even if a court removes the record of something likely the background check companies still retain those records. That being said, many background checks look for specific things. A background check I...

    Wired magazine "Secret Weapon" article

    Not so much, if you are making guns to sell them or give them away, you are acting as a manufacturer, even if you aren't making a profit. You aren't making them for personal use. It may be hard to prove these things one way or the other, but the distinction is there. These things are...

    Mounting Gun Safe To Wooden Floor Help?

    Don't lag it to the floor joists, that involves putting a big hole in piece of structural lumber... :scrutiny: Just drill some holes in the flooring, not in the joists, and use toggle bolts to secure it to the floor. At the end of the day, if someone is going to go through the trouble to...

    Former secret silent cartridge design

    I wonder if it would be possible to design something similar, except instead of the cartridge containing everything, the bullet could be seated on something larger than it that would then be seated in the cartridge. The barrel would be sized properly for the second part, kind of like a sabot...

    Buck's first factory switchblade

    What is the assisted opener version of the knife? Since I can't get the switchblade in California... I've been wanting a good AO knife from buck, I'm really not a fan of the ones I've found. The rush and quickfire are too small, the paradigm has that wonky lock system....

    Pepper Spray--The Truth

    I thought it was pretty standard for a lot of police departments to use tearaway holsters like what I described (although maybe not with the clip, maybe a belt loop instad). Am I mistaken in that?

    Daisy Avanti 853 for beginner target rifle?

    I don't know about the sights, but yes, it would make a good beginner rifle, and no, you aren't likely to find something comparable for a similar price.

    Pepper Spray--The Truth

    Is this the wrong place to ask about holsters? I'm looking for one for my wife, I'd prefer one with a belt clip, with velcro that allows the whole thing (other than the clip) to be ripped off and the top allows the spray to be used while still in the holster. I've been looking around Amazon and...

    What is the legality of a "concealed" knife in most states?

    Since you referenced California, I'm not sure what the laws used to be (it's my understanding, although it may be incorrect, that the laws have changed somewhat significantly over time) but today, yes, fixed blade concealed carry is a huge no no in California. A lot of people don't know that...

    Now it's a P3

    Should be pretty similar to what the P17 likes, I would think. Possibly a different sized pellet, if the barrel is a little different, but I would think the same shape of pellet.

    Non-believers of PCP air rifles

    Actually, I'd think that most target rifles are close to that.... Many of them really don't shoot very fast. Of course, those are pretty expensive.... Have you thought about an air force edge or a crosman challenger? Or are those too pricy?

    The POTUS who was packin'

    When you consider that Reagan signed into law the ban on open carry in California, the complete and total ban on new machine guns (which neither the NFA or GCA managed to do) and lobbied hard and supported both the brady bill and the Assault weapons ban of 1994, I'd say that Reagan did more...

    Wanted man: Police job offers pour in for NJ man pardoned by Gov. Christie

    If he ever becomes a police officer he better think really hard about ever ruining the life of another with a stupid firearms charge.

    The POTUS who was packin'

    So just another politician who believed in guns for himself but not for us peons. That man did more to damage our 2a rights than possibly any other president in history.

    California Question Ownership AK-47 Pistol

    As simple as that? No, there are no ak47 pistols on the roster of approved handguns in California. For one to be sold, it would have to be sold as a Single Shot pistol, and because of recent changes to the law, it would have to have been manufactured as a single shot pistol. In other words, it...

    Report on Beeman P17

    I haven't torn mine down. It does have a reasonable amount of lubrication everywhere I can see. I haven't bothered to tear mine down because I figure that it's easy enough to do that I can fix seals later if they go bad. I'm just wondering why the first time doesn't pump any air, but follow up...
