How are they defined? Is an air gun, rifle or pistol, considered a firearm? And, naturally, this brings into question the same thing regarding BB guns. Thoughts?

In a few weeks, the Libertarian Party will elect their nominee for President and, whoever they nominate, that person is sure to be the most pro-gun candidate on the ballot. So who might it be? One of the better known candidates is Bob Barr, who is probably the best known among the candidates...

FYI There's a fairly new concealed carry web list at: http://www.ccwhere.com/ It's a map that shows businesses that do and don't allow concealed carry. It was started recently in Kansas, but is designed for the whole country. As soon as it gets more data, it'll be a great place to check...

I've seen a number of articles in the papers lately, dealing with criminal arrests, that suggest that private ownership of a bullet-proof vest is illegal. Is this true in all states? When did this happen? I guess I haven't been paying close enough attention.:confused: Bob

Going back to September 11, 2001. What if one half of all the passengers on those four planes had had a CCW license and was armed? How might that have changed the outcome? Bob

Maybe I'm slow to get around to this and maybe it's been discussed already. However, it seems, lately, that certain types of ammo are getting hard to find and more expensive. Is this due to the high government demands for ammunition for Iraq and Afghanistan? Bob

This article says it all. http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_5223659

I keep seeing stories and comments that allude to a return of the draft. If so, it's about time. We won't stop making stupid decisions about war until the sons and daughters of some our leaders are in the line of fire.:fire: Bob

Okay. There's another thread similar to this so let's do the poll. Just for one minute, pretend you're a Democrat and you voting in the primaries. And your only choices are Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. How do you vote? Bob

Many of us, who are NRA members, recently got the latest issue of The Rifleman. In the center, there was the NRA recommendations for the upcoming elections. One fact that was clear is that the NRA will not endorse a Libertarian. I happen to know that in the State of Kansas, and also in...

So, should teachers and other school personnel have the option of Concealed Carry? Should there be special training or just the standard CCW requirements?

How will history rate George W. Bush and his Presidency? Bob

I've noticed on this forum, and several others, that people like to list the guns they own, either in their signature or in specific threads. Let's assume the Feds, house burglars, government gun-grabbers and various other undesirable types know about these forums. And some know how to hack...

There is a law in Austria, a democracy, that forbids anyone from denying the Holocaust. And now, a man is going to jail for doing just that. I have no doubt that the Holocaust occurred, however, I object to denying free speech to anyone, no matter how stupid their utterances might be...

Today, while driving around, I was listening to some recorded speeches by Ronald Reagan before he became President. Some of the things he was talking about made me think that this country will continue to spiral downward as a world power, both economically and militarily, unless we reinstitute...

Here's a thought. We've had some great matches, thanks to the work of some very dedicated people. Why not just re-shoot those matches? I won't keep tally, so each of us will have to decide for ourselves who was in what place. After all, these are primarily an excuse to go to the range and...

I attended the Kansas City Sports Show last night and the NRA had a booth there. The guy on the other side said new member growth was down. I've got my beefs with some NRA actions but it's the only game in town. And I'm a member. In fact, I enjoy letting that information out to some of my...

Last night, I watched, for the umpteenth time, "Colateral". This is the one where Tom Cruise plays a hit man. Question. What is he shooting? My neophyte guess is either a 9mm Beretta or one of the S & W .45 ACPs. but I'm not that good at this. Anyone have better info? I suspect this is a...

The following is part of the Kansas Bill of Rights. Could someone with a legal mind tell me if item #4 doesn't give Kansans the right to carry concealed without further legal changes? It looks to me that, at this point, we have the same rights as citizens in the State of Vermont. Am I missing...

For the second time recently, I had the opportunity to drive onto one of our military bases. My brother is retired military so we store the bass boat that he and I own on the base boat storage lot. Fortunately, before I went on the base, both times, I had the good sense to take my usual...
