Well I agree that, if they were trying to rob the store (and they probably were), all's well that ends well. :) However... I'd like to hear a little more about the specifics of this. People sometimes have medical issues that cause them to drive into buildings. It would be a bad deal all...

Guys, thanks for the info. Just to be clear. Could he purchase an M1 from the CMP after he moves to MA? The approved list looks very specific, as in the stainless (but otherwise identical) version of a normally blued gun has its own listing. As if it was a different gun. That is very...

I have a friend who is just starting to get his feet wet in the shooting sports. He is(was?) on the verge of buying a .22 target pistol, and a CMP M1. Now he is moving from MN to MA, and is unsure of what the laws are out there. Could you guys please help by summarizing laws that affect gun...

Did anyone else notice the American flag at half mast in the video? That shot must have been taken shortly after FDRs death.

I own the Sig 226 in 9mm. Like you I was torn between it and a CZ75. Both have great ergonomics. Reasons I bought the Sig: - I liked the over under two white dot (Stavenhagen?) style sights of the Sig vs. the small, pale green , harder to see, three dots in a row, conventional sights of...

Was going to post on this topic, then thought to search first, and found the answers I wanted. Since this thread is a year old I don't feel bad about resurecting it, and hopefully enlightening some new members. Since this is an obscure topic, not often covered in training, I think it worth...

Well unless you've upgraded the circular keyed lock that comes stock on your Gunvault... you might be able to open it more quickly with a ball point pen. Circular locks can be defeated in a few seconds with the round plastic barrel of some ball point pens. Gunvault knows of this problem and...

Actually I recently saw the Gun Vaults for sale again, with the same worthless circular locks, and thought of resurecting this old thread myself. It does seem the company is incredibly cynical and unethical. They just ignored complaints, laid low, waited for things to calm down, and went...

I've got a Sig 226 and am looking for a IDPA legal holster, in leather, without a thumb strap. I've decided I might give the Galco Concealable model a try. While looking at specs I noticed that Galco also makes the same model holster, which fits a Sig 228, as well as a CZ P01. I have...

I'm quite familiar with the "under the bridge" spot described in the OP. I bike through there frequently myself. To those of you who are saying "what's the big deal with a guy standing under a bridge?" allow me to ellaborate. If you've never seen the spot and are picturing it only from the...

Scariest thing about this was that they knew each other. Obviously if she had cooperated and given him the money and car, and he left, she'd just call the cops and tell them who did it because she knew him. He must have known this going in, which means... he probably had this planned as a...

I've just realized that the rear sight in my Garand has some play in it. I can push it left/right or up/down about 1/32" or so :uhoh: . I'm thinking this can't be good. Given the 28" sight radius, that much movement in the rear sight would change the point of impact by 4" at 100 yds. On the...

I've got a Garand from the CMP, and would love to get a carbine as well. I know the CMP doesn't sell them... well they are selling receivers, but assembling a rifle from a receiver is almost certainly beyond my skill level. I'm wondering what are my chances for acquiring a genuine USGI...

I don't know much about Ruger, but isn't the Mini-14 the only weapon that they sell that could be classified an AW? If so, then the fact that it is only "one model line" is irrelevant. You could look at it this way... "Ruger refuses to sell Hi (normal) capacity magazines for any of its AW's to...

Presumably this is a least partially an over reaction to Iraq, by these idiots. They think if they lash out against a past event it will somehow magically achieve what they want in the future. I wonder if their next strategies include holding their breath, and "not being your best friend...

Lovely country Ireland. I can recommend a visit to anyone. I have an Irish aquaintance who related the following story... "As a kid I lived near a cemetery. Once they held a funeral there with a military honor guard, who fired a salute. Afterwards I scrounged around for the discarded...

Yes shoes, gloves, helmets, etc... are all common to both olympics. But they aren't identical between the seasons,i.e. a bicycle helmet isn't the same as a luge helmet. Also they aren't intrinsic to the sport. Shoes make life easier, but you can compete without them. At least one gold medal...

The other day it occured to me that I knew of a piece of equipment that is used, unchanged, in both the summer and winter olympic games. As far as I can tell this item is the only thing that qualifies for this distinction. The item is intrinsic to the competition, i.e. it is impossible to...

Actually it was more like 12 million, 6 million of those were Jews. Not to nitpick... but I constantly see people forgetting half the victims.

So.... then how about a cartoon showing Jesus approving of priests raping children? Is that equivalent enough. It wouldn't bother me. The problem with the islamo-fascists is that they style themselves the most special of special interest groups. Their faith is so incredibly fragile that it...
