Valuation is ultimately subjective; there is no argument in the world that can logically dictate what value a person should place on something. Therefore, economics is also ultimately subjective, and the only question you need to answer in deciding to sell (or buy) is, "Do I value what's...

I might actually vote to pay for it, which is saying a lot!

I generally shoot for a ratio of at least 1,000 rounds per gun and go higher for guns I expect to shoot more (e.g., .22 LR and 5.56mm).

What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand?

I'd be interested in seeing statistics about how often firearms are used in self-cefense. A color-coded map of the US indicating state gun restrictiveness along with frequency of gun crime and defensive use would be very nice.

I'll only add that ANY review of a single gun tends only to describe the design features of the gun and is incapable of measuring manufacturing variation and predicting reliability consumers will see in the field. Take any non-statistical review with a big grain of salt.

I started bringing my son and, then, my daughter shooting right after they finished high school. They were victims of a nasty divorce, and I didn't get to see them much for several years but, at 18 or so, they started figuring things out for themselves and, with my genes, they naturally took to...

Stoeger Cougar in 9mm... The gun is great for the money (reliable and accurate), but it's bulky, uncomfortable to rack, and I can't stand slide mounted safeties (I don't really like safeties at all, for that matter). I only paid $300, and it just wouldn't pay to get rid of what is essentially a...

There are a couple of LCPs in my family. I carry it when I can't carry something bigger. They've been reliable and surprisingly accurate. It's amazing how inaccurate an inexperienced shooter can be--due to jerking the trigger or flinching. Begin with a small caliber (.22), start close and...

Lots of great advice. Since it sounds like you're on a tight budget, I recommend the following shotgun/pistol combination if you're looking to buy new: Mossberg Maverick 88 in 12 gauge ($200) and a Stoeger Cougar in 9mm or .40 caliber ($375)--for a grand total of $575 (minus transfer fees or...

1981--when I was 15--brand new Remington 788 in .308 for $167.

Educational Possibilities Delete

Educational Possibilities First off, you should figure out what your strengths are and what you want to do with guns before you run off to a college and waste a TON of money. Do you want to design them, manufacture them, sell them, smith them, or shoot them? Figure that out, make sure you...

We are one sour election from having our gun rights stripped. Anyone who thinks the anti-gun activists and politicians and, yes, police bureaucracies wouldn't demand RFID tracking of firearms--probably as a stepping stone to finding the guns once they've illegalized them--is MUCHO naive.

I always carry the following... 1. Victorinox SA knife (Ranger) and, if dress allows, ESEE-4 2. Kahr CM9 or Ruger LCP (with extra mag) AND, if dress allows, a Springfield XD45 Compact 3. Pepper spray (for measured response) 4. Aluminum box-type wallet 5. Keys 6. Cell phone At night, I...

I'd like to see a Springfield XD-45 compact with a 3" or 3.5" barrel--if it's possible to make one without compromising reliability (which it probably isn't).

Buck 119's are nice hunting knifes, but they have a weak tip that easily breaks off--like mine did. I'm not so sure I'd trust the hollow-ground blade or the slippery handle either. Go with a proven performer--Ka-Bar 7".

Yeah... matte black Rustoleum is beautiful!

Check out Chestnut Ridge Knife Shop for good prices on Ka-Bars and a few other knives. I just got some ESEE and Ontario knives at decent prices with free shipping (over $300).

My Dad gave me my first knife when I was 5--I'm 45 now. It's a small Western (4" blade) fixed blade with a clip point. It's got a full tang, plastic handles, a nice aluminum butt cap, and a carbon-steel blade (which holds a very nice edge). I used the hell out of that little knife for years...
