    Any update on National Carry?

    From what I've heard the gun controllers want to have NYC, Chicago, and DC style restrictions everywhere if there's any chance of this passing. Not what I need or want. If they're going to do something Constitutional, heaven forbid, that'd be great, but there are too many anti-gun geniuses in...

    Gun dealers gone bad

    About a year ago I was in a local store looking at handloading bullets when one of the gun department guys and a customer came back near me and the store guy told the customer that if the box said that the bullets require a 9" twist that the bullets rotated 9 times in the gun's bore. Since his...

    shipping a gun back to an importer

    My understanding is that a gun may be sent to the manufacturer or importer for repair with no problem (since they have to have an FFL to be in business), and may be returned to you directly by them. Unfortunately UPS requires that handguns be shipped next day mail because of light fingered...

    Coalition to stop gun violence thinks there aren't enough prohibited users

    I think that the rabid anti's will only be happy when they and their favored politicians can have guns, the rest of can go pound sand, and wait for the cops to show up if there's a problem we might NEED a gun for. Forget about target shooting of any kind, let alone plinking or hunting. Don't...

    Do you bring tools to the range?

    A set of drivers (slotted, Allen, Phillips, and Torx), cleaning rods, a Remington bolt disassembly tool, and various other goodies. I can remember when I went to the range with a military ammo can for my ammo, and now I take a whole pile of stuff that I likely won't use but might. Fills up a...

    Backstop for shooting

    The range I was a member of some years ago tried dirt filled tires, and found that if a bullet hit them just wrong it could go flying to who knows where. On the other hand if you can bury tires in the backstop as filler, and make sure that they can't be or won't be exposed I'd think that would...

    Should I buy even more premium JHP?

    I guess that some people have had bad luck with handloaded ammunition, but about the only factory ammo I ever shoot for anything is rimfire. The only problems I've ever had are a few bad primers, but I've experienced more bad primers in factory ammo than in my handloads. People in some...

    Airport Popo got me

    After flying to Vancouver, BC, last fall for a wedding my wife and I both decided that if we can't drive or walk we aren't going. TSA is pretty much clueless, and the heads of TSA and Homeland Insecurity appear to have a lower IQ than my dog's food dish. Empty! What is a person going to do...

    Oslo incident

    People who out of hand kill others are crazy, quite possibly not legally insane, but they're not right in the head. Killing someone in self defense or the enemy in wartime is obviously not killing someone out of hand - unless they're executed, but shooting unarmed civilians for any reason...

    Oslo incident

    If they're disarmed and unarmed they're likely afraid of guns. Like people who run away from any dog because they're afraid of all dogs.

    UK has higher violent crime rate than USA?

    Guns aren't required for violent crime, although the crooks in England who want guns don't seem to have any problem getting them. The level of violent crime in England and other "gun free zones" designed to keep everyone safe, are usually higher than in places where more people have guns...

    Amazingly Dumb Quotes by Anti-Gun Folks

    Discussing a proposed Constitutional Carry bill a former FBI agent who is now a state legislator said that without concealed carry permits the police wouldn't know who had concealed handguns. HUH? Unless a guy is a total dolt the police don't know if you're carrying anyway, and since it's...

    My experince with gun company customer service.

    I've only had two guns needing warranty service, a Dan Wesson .357 revolver maybe 20 years ago or so that had chambers that looked like they were reamed with a dull drill bit running as fast as possible. Even average velocity loads were difficult to eject. Sent it to them, and although they...

    D.C. opens to gun business; Gura lawsuit dismissed

    Maybe I'm just not very bright, but if the dealer can obtain an FFL, and the necessary business licenses, which I'm sure there are plenty of in DC, why does he have to set up his "business" in the PD? What a dungheap of a city is all I can say.

    Armed Invasion Nearby

    Unless the sheriff is right around the corner, which is not likely with a large county and few officers, in 8 minutes someone would be dead, hopefully those who were doing the invading. Makes a guy want to pack 24/7.

    Will Illinois get Concealed Carry within 1 year from now?

    Well what better way to ensure the safety of the neighborhoods in IL than to make sure that only the criminals and police are allowed to walk around with guns. I guess that the cops in IL are allowed to have guns anyway, but from what I've heard there's not much difference between the criminals...

    Newspaper Poll about FL Physician Gag Law

    I've never been asked by anyone if I own guns, but most people who pay attention probably can figure out that I do. If an MD asks me if I own a gun, I'd likely tell him it was none of his business since it isn't. Anyone can ask any stupid question they want to, but there's no obligation to...

    So what's with the brand hate?

    I can't say I hate any guns, but there are some that I'd rather not be seen in possession of. Sort of like dating the ugliest girl around, she may be fun to be with, but there aren't enough bags in the world.... Ford vs Chevy, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder I think.

    New or Old style

    My preference in guns are that they go bang when they're supposed to, don't go bang when they're not supposed to, and are sufficiently accurate for their intended purpose. Very accurate for prairie dog rifles, minute of man for defensive handguns - not that I could shoot a handgun much better...
