So, blah blah blah. Are they for sale yet? Has anyone really shot a couple of hundred rounds through one? It certainly seems to be targeted at the S&W police market with the DAO trigger and the mag disconnect. For personal self defense as a citizen I would need a version without the...

While an Appleseed shoot is geared toward training people--young and old, male and female--to be better rifle shots, it is also about American history. A few short lectures over the two day program remind us of the sacrifices of our forefathers, their bravery, and the legacy they wanted to...

Loaners At most Appleseed shoots there are extra rifles brought just for the purpose of making sure everyone who wants to shoot can. So, even if you don't have a rifle, just say so when you sign up and one could be provided (Pre-registration is very desirable). If this is arranged ahead of...

+1 to all the above positive comments. I took my 10-year old grandson to the Boulder City NV shoot two weeks ago. He shot a Ruger 10/22 and learned what all of us with the .30 caliber battle rifles were learning. Great people, great organization. Very cheap marksmanship training. To everyone...

Insulate the roof, but not the walls. You'll need all the width room you can get. Install good air flow with vents to bring in fresh air and a couple of 12 vlt fans to draw it out. Make sure they have outside covers to protect them from rain, and inside screens for bugs, dirts, leaves, etc...

The surprise attack, disparate force, two against one and size of attacker I believe justify intervention with force, but not deadly force, initially. Having force continuum options available is always wise, even as a civilian. Shows restarint, and understanding of the situation and the law...

Lock 'em up Welcome to the board, and to the community of gun-friendly people. These useful tools provide a lot of recreation and satisfaction, but they can be put to some very practical uses also. Another vote for securing your weapons. If you intend to use them for self defense and need...

Manila I have been to the Phillipinnes a number of times. Very strict weapons control from arrival at the airport onward. There are numerous armed security guards on the streets in front of banks and other financial institutions. They carry an assortment of arms, usually pump shotguns or...

Drilling Love these hypotheticals. They make us think. If I could only have one gun, it would have to be versatile and powerful. There would be no need to conceal it. Handguns are out. I would consider a carbine for light weight, size, and effectiveness to 100 yards, especially with...

Responsibility I had two beautiful, double barreled, cased shotguns stolen from under my bed in an apartment in 1972. Never recovered. Never again. There are dozens of security safes available that cost about as much as one of the good rifles or shotguns they protect. Some fancy-schmancy...

Fear Those who would vote to ban .50's fear them, and perhaps with full justification. Could a .50 be part of a civilian-owned arsenal that a government run amok would prefer not to have pointed at its members? You bet. THAT's what the Second Article of the Bill of Rights (The Second...

Storm shroud I have already purchased the Eagle Mini-14/30 aluminum barrel shroud (black)with cooling holes, $40. While there may be some actual utility if one is concerned about getting burned on a hot barrel, the real reason I bought the Eagle was because it has a 360 degree rotating sling...
