    Unable To Access Gun Blogs At Blogspot.com

    Look at "What's Happened to Day by Day" thread. Same subject! They've already mentioned that Firefox works fine and IE doesn't. And they say the problem is related to SiteMeter, not just blogspot. I'm glad to know I'm not alone. I was beginning to think my system was going down and I...

    Owners Manual of Ed Brown Products: Ed Brown 1911 Owners Manual, page 5 of 5: "Handling: Never Slam the slide shut without a round being fed from the magazine. Slamming the slide shut on an unloaded gun is hard on the frame, barrel fit, and especially the hammer/sear engagement surfaces...

    Worst injuries\days at the range?

    I was teaching my girl friend how to shoot, using a semi-auto pistol. She crossed her thumbs behind the slide. I stopped her before she could fire, and showed her how to hold her left hand with thumb forward of right thumb, both pointing at the target. When she fired, the bottom edge of...

    11 year-old girl sets record for AR15 field strip

    Her name is McKensie, and Gixxerguy811 is her dad. He posted a series of videos featuring her on YouTube. I like this one best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDlodGEp_9o&feature=related By the way, she's having a lot of malfunctions. At first I thought her dad might have inserted some...

    National Buy A Gun Week: Have you participated?

    You are telling me I'm on board for at least THREE celebrations. 1) Heller! (and Heller-based lawsuits already filed in California) 2) Heller means that California will be going to "Shall issue" in the not too distant future, so I put the piece on order. Mr. Ed Brown has begun to craft...

    I SOOOO Aint Buyin' This

    Up above, Corporal K referred to a SAW that was "Locked and Loaded", and "Off Safety". My name says it -- I'm an old fart -- so I don't know SAWs -- I only know M1 lingo. But in my day, son, LOCKED meant "safety ON".:) Please explain. Fud

    Hyper Inflation and Guns

    I buy guns I can get before California makes them illegal, but my REAL focus at the moment is on Ammunition. There's at least three driving forces here; In the first place, ammo prices are going up Almost as fast as gasoline prices, but Ammo has no shelf life -- I CAN stock up a...

    Really bad T.V. dialog/gun knowledge

    Track down the "Jesse Stone" movies (Made for TV, Tom Selleck starring). Mr. Selleck demonstrates OUTSTANDING behavior, talk and moves. (The bad guys in "Cold Stone" don't, but what the hey.)

    Who else goes to the range alone?

    I have 3 scenarios: 1) Lone Ranger: Go alone, shoot alone. Total focus, ZEN state, decompression and maximum skill-building. At these times, I am totally inwardly focused. I don't even know what's going on in adjacent lanes (other than basic safety state recognition.) 2) Travel to a...

    NJCSD predicts SCOTUS decision

    That so-called NEWS announcement by the NJCSD really bothers me. Look, friends, from 10 minutes after SCOTUS held it's open session on the subject, EVERYBODY has agreed they will go with an Individual rights ruling. The only questions left relate to how firm they will want the enforcement...

    You may be a gun newbie if...

    You're a newby if you think .38 means .38. A simple question on one of these forums "how come a .357 and a .38 used the same barrel and how could anybody get numbers that far wrong" was met with pained sighs and hoots of derision. Thanks to the one responder who explained the issues and...

    Gun Cleaning: Field vs Detail Stripping

    HOW do you detail strip any gun? I've got S&W revolvers as well as M&P pistols. I've got Kahr. I've got 1911's from Springfield, Bear, Smith and Colt. Every single user manual clearly states, "Do NOT strip past the point we describe", and then shows field-stripping only. I have...

    How many gun shops are near your home?

    9 within the 30 minute commute you described, and I live in San Fransisco Bay area. (East Bay, to be precise. This matters because one of my favorite places to shop is in Pacifica -- 45 minutes away)

    Odd question about firing range rules

    Lenny, can you go WITH somebody? Down here in the SF Bay area, they have the same anti-suicide concern and will not rent to a SOLO person who came in without weapons. But they will rent to a group. (Two people is a social gathering, not a suicide pact.) (Obviously I can't speak for...

    Are You a "People of the Gun"?

    Got the T-shirt and the Coffee cup. Took the cup to work where I carry/shlup all day long, walking the halls, in meetings, you name it. So far, nobody sees nothin, but doesn't matter. I've stated my position, and proud to be able to do so. Fud

    Wisconsin massacre followup

    I think there are two ideas here that are shocking: First, we expect police officers to be PEACE officers. They are supposed to be the father-figure, to have the maturity to defuse eactly the kind of situation that erupted in that house Sunday morning. To discover they are pimple-faced kids...
