I use both/either in any informal conversation, but I would always refer to it as a "weapon" or "firearm" to any LEO.

Seriously? Here's a little tale of life in affluent, safe, "suburbia". http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/notorious_murders/mass/cheshire-murders/1.html

Hot brass doesn't seem to bother me, when it's coming from someone's gun in a lane next to me; I choose to believe he/she's not doing it on purpose. What I don't like is my OWN hot brass, flying out of my Glock and right back at me. More than once it's hit me in the face. That I don't like. :cuss:

I won't go so far as to call people whiny, but I also don't see what the problem is either, with the range holding onto your DL while you're shooting. It ensures everyone pays for their range time, targets, rentals, etc. before walking out. And it also quickly identifies, at-a-glance, who's on...

UPS delivers my ammo as well, without signature required. The rather large box is always sitting on my front porch, out in the open, for all to see. So far it hasn't been stolen....

Note Section 7 in today's State of Emergency declaration: http://www.governor.state.nc.us/NewsItems/ExecutiveOrderDetail.aspx?newsItemID=1983 The above SOE declaration appears to be overriding this NC statute: "It is also a misdemeanor under North Carolina law for a person to...

My family consists of my teen daughter, my mother and one brother. When I brought guns into my lifestyle and my house, I had my daughter attend a firearms safety course, and she shot a .22 at the end of the course. She enjoyed it then, but has since lost interest. She doesn't care that I have...

Hi Gary, please let us NC folk know when we can carry in restaurants/bars. Much appreciated! ;)

Does anyone know about legal problems with printing in NC? We have open carry in this state, but I'm not sure if there is any correlative relationship between OC and CC with regard to printing. I thought that printing here was a huge no-no; but I don't know if it's "unlawful". I'd like to...

This is the statute in NC, (where I live); if someone already posted it, my apologies. If anyone cares to see some of our other arcane firearms laws, the NC government statues can be seen within: http://www.atf.gov/publications/download/p/atf-p-5300-5/atf-p-5300-5-north_carolina.pdf 14-288.7...

This thread has been an interesting read. I've seen a lot of chest-thumping, and a lot of reasonably-minded folks post. My question for the guys who won't carry anything smaller than a full-size 1911 or else they'll be "underpowered", what do all your wives carry? Anybody have a petite wife or...

^this Sounds like a guy who should run, not walk. Edit to add: I actually now read most of the thread, and I'll give the OP's OP a break. It came off as very controlling and selfish. As long as they are happy with each other, that's all that's important. Good luck with the 1911 when you...

Wow, really? Not a single one liked semi-autos? I must be an oddball out, because my first two guns are 9mm sub-compacts. I love how they both shoot, and have no interest in revolvers. :confused:

well, you ask for opinions, yer gonna get 'em! :D Skylerbone, The 1911 will be used for target shooting, and home defense. I like the idea of spending more, and using lay-a-way as my friend. So Colt makes a good 1911 commander .45acp, eh? I'll have to look into it. I'm so gun-broke right...

I want a 1911 in my little collection by the end of the year. I know someone who owns an American Classic commander 1911, and it shot like a dream. I really liked it a lot. I loved the light trigger and its accuracy. But. . . . I don't know anything about its reputation or reliability. I...

:what: :eek: :what: :eek: Do they bring in the CIA? :scrutiny:

She's very much a southpaw. I never even thought about the stick shift thing. I just know she can't eat sitting to my right!

She's still badgering me. . . .;) Thanks guys, I appreciated the encouragement and advice when I put up the first thread. I did what you guys told me to do, and it turned out to be exactly right. I'm looking forward to getting a .22 so we can do ladies league matches together, and the two I'm...

Hey! I get to buy my cc gun first. Her gun can wait! :p She wants the Sig because of the pink frame it has, (14 year old girl were talkin' here). You can see it in the picture. But at $300, she can start saving her money. Because after my cc gun, I r-e-a-l-l-y want a 1911 A1 .45. :uhoh:

I had an extremely violent dream (worst that I remember) that involved a gun being used and I was the victim. The bg had no problem pulling the trigger. This came right on the heels of my CCW course. Not sure if there was a connection, but I don't discount it.
