    Restaurant (w/Liquor License) & Indoor Gun Range

    Florida officials OK booze-serving gun range — because they think it will be safer than others Sorry for the lurid (and inflammatory) title, but that's a direct quote of the article's title - so you can probably figure out on your own what the reporter and editorial staff think of the idea...

    Ferguson, MO: A New Twist?

    I'll preface by saying that I don't watch network news. I get most of my news from a local talk-radio station, and gleaning by context from various internet sources. Having said that, I have been paying attention to the events transpiring in Ferguson, and surrounding communities. I'm a Field...

    Dangerous Shotgun?

    In this thread, several posters comment to the effect that the Mossberg "chainsaw" is a dangerous configuration or could be dangerous in use. Looking at it, I can see the the forward-swept handgrip could be awkward (it looks awkward to me), and that a back-swept grip might be better...

    Texas Concealed Carry & Prohibited Places

    In a thread on another message board, some folks are outraged that guns are allowed in the state capitol while feminine hygiene products were not (the rule has subsequently been changed). The gist of this thread is NOT to debate Texas' or abortion politics; please refrain from doing so. My...

    Ages of Empire, And Gun Control

    For the purposes of this discussion, the U.S.A. is considered an Empire. Perhaps not in the classical sense, but our growth and development is such that I think the comparison stands. The recent (3-4 decades) and current gun control frenzy is the result of our entering a specific "phase" in...

    Quantum Vibe: On Target of Gun Control

    I don't know if any of you follow the web-comic Quantum Vibe, but today's strip just nailed the attitude of Feinstein, Schumer, et. al. I have no idea of the comic creator's politics, on any issue, but this was so sharp it cut. ETA: Danged spelling gremlins! That should be "On Target on...

    Don't we already HAVE de facto Gun Registration?

    I am not a lawyer, or a bureaucrat, but follow me on this. From manufacturer to distribuitor, distributor to your local dealer, firearms are tracked by make/model/serial number, with corresponding paperwork that the BATF can access at will. So, a guy (original owner) buys a gun from his...

    Rules 1, 2, & 3 FAIL: PA Gun Store Shooting

    Craig Allen Loughrey, 7, Shot To Death At Gun Store It's disturbing enough that a 7 y/o boy has died due to his father's negligence, but the tone of the article suggests something else. It may just be me, but the "slant" of the article is that the gun just went off for no apparent reason...

    Miami "Face Eater" Shooting: Gun/Ammo?

    For those who may be living under a rock. From the article: Earlier articles had reported that the responding officer initially fired only once, and the assailant didn't even seem to notice that he'd been shot. Said articles then reported that the responding officer fired four additional...

    My New Walther: P99AS .40 S&W

    Cabela's is running a sale on Walthers, and I also needed some .22LR to go shooting this weekend, so I decided to stop in at Cabela's on the way home from work. Grabbed the ammo, and just out of curiosity I decided to see what they had in the display case. Walther P99AS in .40 S&W. For...

    Unloved Gun: A Used PT92 AF

    Saw a PT92 AF sitting in the "Used" display case at Cabela's yesterday, and I noticed right away there was something funny looking about the rear sights. Looking closer, I see that someone had put adjustable sights on it. I could also see that it was dirty. I mean almost flithy, with powder...

    Taurus Raging Bull: Recommend Me Some Sights

    I recently picked up a used Raging Bull in .44 at a gun show. The owner cut me a "recoil" deal on it, as he fired it once, and then put it down. Personally, I don't know what he was expecting; it is a .44, after all. But anyway: having fired it at the range, I have no problems with the gun...
