This was a local self-defense case. It wrapped up last month but they finally released the cost of the eight-day trial for the defendant who had three attorneys and expert witnesses: $332,000. Thought this would be a good piece of data for folks wondering what a successful self-defense case...

So I'm buying a service grade special HRA Garand from the CMP. It comes with new CMP wood and I want to replace it with something made by HRA to make it correct/collector grade. I'm fairly new at all this, but already I've come across numerous threads about how many places are selling fakes...

Since it was MLK Jr day earlier this week and everyone kept going on and on about the peaceful nature of the Civil Rights era, I thought I'd contrast that populist belief with something a bit more rooted in reality. By way of Adam Winkler, professor of constitutional law at the UCLA School of...

After reading the Ruger will contact your reps. for you thread started on January 13th, I went ahead and hammered off to my local, state, and federal critters that day. Has anyone gotten a response yet? I just got a reply from both my Senators and governor. I got them today, 9 days later...

Good 'ol Chuck Schumer is upset the anti-gun crew isn't moving fast enough in DC, so he went on record asking retailers in America to simply STOP selling "assault weapons" to people until Congress gets to vote and outright ban them. Please stores! Stop selling merchandise. Wait until we ban...

I was hoping for a neutral response, at least. Nope!

I need to rant. I submitted my Form 4 back on June 6, 2012. I JUST now got a "final notice" from the US DOJ/NFA stating that I need to redo my forms originally sent back to the transferror on 11/15/12 because the signatures weren't in blue or black ink. The Form 4's the shop fills out have...

Really running out of materials, wannabe-journalists. :rolleyes: I've never seen such lazy writing. It's like he took the first 10 hits on a Google search and used them as his citations...

I was curious...every time there is a renewed gun debate or a school shooting, the usual topics from all sides come into play. I never really see the University Of Texas massacre come up where Charles Whitman took the lives of 16 people from atop his tower. Eventually he was pinned down by...

I am hoping enough folks have used Federal's LE Flitecontrol #1 buckshot and patterned the stuff so we could share data. I had a chance to test some of Federal's #1 buckshot with the flitecontrol wadding. It wasn't an extensive test and I did not average the results over multiple shots at...

I'm picking up a Speedfeed II stock specifically because it's solid and has some good heft for a synthetic stock vs the other Speedfeeds or synthetic offerings which are hollow and light. I plan on chopping down the 14" LOP to 13" LOP and installing a Grovtec flush/swivel cup as a sling...

Ever wish there was a resource for firearm owners that would network you to a list of attorneys that are willing to defend their clients with an affirmative defense justifying legal use of self-defense? Not just an attorney with only experience in trying to plea down criminal charges? Ever...

Apparently, people have been conditioned to think any unidentified long gun is automatically an "assault weapon". In fact, any unidentified long object is now apparently an assault weapon unless proven otherwise. That includes fake legs. That's so incredibly upsetting that people are calling...

Anyone have time to call or email a local (to me) Washington radio station here on Friday? It’s the BJ Shea show on 99.9FM KISW "The Rock" in Washington state. Weekdays 6:00-10:00 AM Pacific time. Friday is a "listeners on the loose" where people can call or email in about anything so it’s...

After seeing the shooting in Tacoma, Seattle's useless mayor Greg Nickels has crawled out from under his log to make a statement. I don't think he is popular for a variety of moves as is and he is only a mayor, but the fact he wants to start pushing a campaign means pro-gun Washingtonians...

Anyone live in Washington catch the Kiro 7 news on TV? http://www.kirotv.com/news/9844012/detail.html They just showed video on this story and a brief pan of the rifles recovered from a Lakewood motel. They are very easily identified even though they didn't give the names. :eek: :eek: A...

I was randomly surfing around for a complete stripdown video for 1911s (much easier than a series of pictures and text) when I came across a 6-part series on youtube.com The first which is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8E51EMRWyw (entire series list here...

I was looking for magwell cut grips to fit a 1911 and was pretty settled on getting Hakan Pek to whip up a pair of desert ironwoods but I never got a response to him and further searching various boards and the Internet turned up that he has some medical problems so his volume has slowed...

I'm curious if there is a specific website that compilates laws and legalities regarding ownership of firearm types, listed by state. Things like machine guns, SBR, SBS, AOW, etc. I was milling around with the idea of an SBR or AOW using those neat Bushmaster pistols in WA state and found...

Woohoo! I finally got my block of acrylic back from my friend’s vehicle and got a chance to take pictures of it. I thought it was interesting and felt like sharing the results. It is a 3-7/8” wide by 12-1/4” tall by 2-3/4” thick block of cast acrylic I bought off fleabay last year. It used...
