    AZ Concealed Carry Primer

    Frank - Handgunlaw indicates that AZ recognizes the CA permit, as does the wording on the AZ website: http://www.azdps.gov/Services/Concealed_Weapons/Reciprocity/ Part of my confusion is the wording on the AZ website regarding the carry in locations with posted signs...

    AZ Concealed Carry Primer

    I will be spending some time in the Tempe area and would like a simple run down of AZ concealed carry laws. I looked some regulations up and some of it seems confusing to me. I have a California concealed carry permit, and it looks like AZ has reciprocity but does not require a permit for...

    Nevada Handgun Laws

    danez71 - Visalia is in Tulare county, which is dark green on that map. It is no problem to get a permit, and it is good anywhere in the state (with the obvious exceptions of courts, controlled access areas of airports, federal buildings, and buildings where city or county employees regularly...

    Nevada Handgun Laws

    Let me get this straight - I have a California CCW. So when I drive to visit my family in UT, when I get to the NV border I can just remove my holster from my belt and put the loaded pistol in the glove compartment and I am legal? I know that UT honors my CA permit, so no problems there.

    California gun laws

    Librarian: Here is the knife law for UC and other college campus property, note that it only mentions fixed blades, and treats UC and Cal State the same: (b) Any person, except a duly appointed peace officer as defined in Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 830) of Title 3 of Part 2, a...

    California gun laws

    What county is your college in? Do you live on campus? As has been noted, state law allows self defense, and you can have loaded firearms in your home. Fixed blades can be legally carried, but must be completely visible with no part of the knife (sheath or handle) covered. Fixed blades are...

    Idiots at my school think I'm a murderer.

    Be very careful with any gun-related material in a public school in the Bay Area. I'm surprised you weren't suspended or expelled. A few years ago a student athlete from Buchanan High School in Fresno was on a school bus. He pointed at his biceps and said "These are the only guns I need."...

    Winchester Supreme SXT ammo for self defense

    When I tested the 230 gr .45 in my 1911, none expanded after going through cloth. The Ranger T, on the other hand, works quite well in my 1911.

    Winchester PDX-1 Vs. Gold Dot Ammo

    I have tested both the standard 230 gr Gold Dot and the short barrel 230 gr Gold Dot. Both expand reliably when fired through cloth, but the standard bullets expand wider, and I prefer them. The G21 has a 4.6" barrel. Since it has polygonal rifling, it should give a little better velocity...

    shooting bowling pins

    The pins that I have shot have a thick plastic shell over a wood core (probably maple, from the looks of the wood). They are effective bullet stoppers. If hit in the center they will stop a .44 mag, and they are lots of fun for .45 and 9mm. Take them out and try them, what do you have to lose?

    How do I identify a Yugoslav Mauser

    You can start here: http://milsurpshooter.net/ There is a Yugo Mauser subforum. The stickies on that subforum have a lot of indentification information. And from there you will probably be able to find links to other sites with good information on identification. Which Yugo are you...

    Winchester PDX-1 Vs. Gold Dot Ammo

    I have tested both 230 gr Gold Dot and 230 gr PDX1 in my G30, shooting through cloth. The Gold Dot expands very reliably, and the PDX1 does not. The PDX1 may work with a 5" barrel, but if you are using a shorter barrel I would not trust it to expand properly. On the other hand, my brother...

    Range Report Federal HST 230 gr from G30

    Surprised? No. Disappointed? Yes, after all the hype I have read about this round. Ranger Talon did not perform any better in my G30, even the +P was inconsistent. The Ranger T in the picture above was the exception, not the rule. If I could get decent quantities of calibrated...

    Range Report Federal HST 230 gr from G30

    Today I got to test some Federal 230 gr HST from my G30, this is the standard pressure load, not the +P. Same as before, I fired from about 10' into wet newspaper covered with two layers cotton t-shirt and two layers jeans denim. All 10 rounds recovered, as seen in the picture below...

    Odd experience with gunsmith today... or am I being a crybaby ?

    I would never tolerate that attitude. My go-to gunsmith really knows his way around firearms, and I have recommended him to a number of my friends. And he always includes a very detailed invoice listing all work and parts.

    Speer Gold Dot

    I don't have any experience with that load, but I do know that the 230 gr 45ACP load is one of the few on the market that expands reliably and beautifully out of a short barrel.

    Old shotgun ammo

    I recently inherited a bunch of 12 and 20 ga from my grandfather that included a fair amount of paper shells. All of it went bang as expected. Even the plastic shells were old, the boxes pointed out in bold lettering that the shells had noncorrosive primers. The only thing I didn't like was...

    Your own ammo tests

    This is the Hornady Critical Defense 185 gr, fired from a G30 into wet newspaper covered with 2 layers cotton t-shirt and 2 layers jeans denim: On the right is a single round of 230 gr Gold Dot from the G30, they always look like this. On the left is a single Winchester PDX1 from the G30...

    Your own ammo tests

    I have done quite a bit of testing of 45ACP hollow point ammo. Over half of the brands out there do not expand at all if fired through cloth (and that's with a 5" barrel). Lately I have done most of my testing with my G30 because that is what I usually carry, and not many brands out there will...

    What gun or guns do gun laws keep you from having?

    I would like to get an AK-74 for plinking. And mags that hold more than 10 rounds would be nice. My dream would be to get an MG-42 with a truckload of 8mm already in belts.
