    Legality of "flipping" guns?

    I look at this in relation to the ATF requirement for being a genuine "Dealer", as opposed to a breakfast table dealer/hobbyist. If you apply for an FFL, you are supposed to be seriously engaged in this as a business, i.e.: your bread & butter depends on it. I haven't heard too many stories of...

    S & W rebate scam

    I bought a used S&W that came with three magazines that were later covered by a recall. They seemed to work fine, but I'd heard that the new ones were more reliable, so I called S&W. They asked if I was the original owner of the gun & I said no, I bought it used online. They checked and said...

    RIGHTtoKeepAndBearArms.com

    This site is in it's infancy and grew out of a desire of folks over at the AR Forum to do something for the furtherance & protection of our gun rights. There has been a lot of post-election depression & this was viewed as a way to redirect energy in a positive way. Their original intention...

    NRA = Strawman

    "I've been reading this forum for three years, and joined last year to use the Search feature. I'm not a member of any other site, I'm not employed by any agency, and I don't have an "agenda" here. I began posting because I believe that THR has a great membership: thoughtful and not...

    RIGHTtoKeepAndBearArms.com

    This is an excellent idea aimed at coordinating the various shooting sports websites and gun rights organizations to more effectively fight the coming ban. Since all shooting enthusiasts have a stake in this, whether high power, air gun, hunting, or even paintball, it would seem that every...

    Bullies at the shooting range...

    At our range, where I'm sometimes a range marshal, the rules are that ALL guns be unloaded with actions open behind the firing line when a cease-fire is called. They also require that a yellow plastic flag be placed in the breach so the marshal can see that all guns are clear before letting...

    Don Hume leather holsters

    I tried ordering a holster from them and it has been a waste of time. They fail to answer email and when I called, the people on the phone, though pleasant, failed to deliver what they promised. I thought I'd save a buck going through Gunner's Alley, but dealing direct with the manufacturer is...

    Gun shows...I just don't get it.

    I used to go to “photo-fleas” outside the Philadelphia-New Jersey area. Used to be there were just too many deals to even begin to pursue---you could get all kinds amazing stuff cheap, swap, talk cameras, etc.. Then around 1989 the dealers got smart and began buying up all of the good stuff to...

    Pellet gun for city pests

    Pellet Guns, like the RWS that was previously mentioned are great for situations like this where a firearm can’t be used. The only thing with air guns is the trajectory---it’s very steep and if you don’t spend a lot of time rangefinding and getting your scope sighted in for everything from 10-55...

    Graffiti painter killed by homeowner - news story

    Gang gaffiti is not mere vandalism, it is a challenge to rival gang members, or (in our case) a statement of hatred---the recipient is being put on notice that they are unwelcome. It is also meant to imply that harsher measures will be taken if the target doesn’t “get the message” and move out...

    Graffiti painter killed by homeowner - news story

    We used to live in Minneapolis---my wife is a scientist and joined the university there for a spell before moving on to a better situation. We were in the then up & coming Northeast part of town; formerly working class, shifting to trendy artsy-university types. Shortly after we moved in, we...

    Self-defense in a no-weapon foreign country

    I was confronted by three guys with knives on my way home at night in Hangzhou back in 1994. Managed to throw one to the ground and whacked the others pretty well with my brass duck head-handled English-style umbrella from John Wannamakers in Philadelphia. Remember John Steed in "The Avengers"...
