I'm e-mailing several WV house representatives about a section of the state code that the university uses to justify not allowing firearms on campus. This is the section of the state code: I do not see how this section applies to Universities and Colleges in West Virginia. This is the...

I had recently posted that the townhouse I was moving into didn't allow firearms. When I looked at the lease agreement, it said "no illegal firearms", but the landlord said that meant no firearms at all. At the bottom of the paper it said "in accordance with WV state code". So I scoured the...

I'm moving to a new place soon, a brand new townhouse complex for low income people. However, this place doesn't allow firearms on the premise. I only have 1 pistol as of right now, and I like to carry regularly. I don't feel comfortable storing my pistol outside of my home or vehicle, but I...

I recently bought a used Taurus PT-111 (older model, circa 1998), but it did not come with anything. From what I can tell from the online manuals, you need some kind of key to field strip the gun. I do not have this key, is there any other way to field strip the gun without the key?

I'm considering buying a Walther P-22 (replacing my XD because of ammunition costs), however, I have noticed the Sig Mosquito. I haven't heard much and a search didn't turn up much on the gun. Should I stick with the P-22, or should I buck up the extra money and get a Mosquito? Please don't...

I have a question about this section of the WV State Code, and would like your interpretation on what it means. Now before you flame me for asking for legal advice, I'm not. I just want some clarification on what this section of the code is supposed to apply to. Thanks for any input you...

Is there anyone online who sells ammo cheaper than Wal-marts price for Winchester white box in 9mm Luger? From what I've seen, 12.88 for a hundred 9mm is the cheapest I've found, apart from un-reloadable wolf.

I don't know if it's a gun myth, but growing up, I always heard that most guns couldn't fire while underwater. On History channel shows I would hear that because the M-16 was gas-operated it could fire underwater. Can anyone tell me if it's true, and why? Thanks.

I've been reading some reports on the search feature about the Taurus PT1911. The reports are somewhat limited, so I wanted to get some direct opinions from you guys about the PT1911. Is it reliable? How's accuracy? (I know that's pretty subjective, just need a general analysis) Any common...

I have a question, and I didn't know exactly where to post this, since it applies to all firearms. I hear this statement a lot from people, "Don't pull the trigger, squeeze the trigger." Can anyone articulate the difference between the two?

There's a debate in another thread about the effectiveness of the Electoral College. I was wondering what all of your thoughts were. I'm told that the Electoral College is the best system because it forces candidates to campaign in all states and that it helps smaller states have a more...

I was wondering how each of you guys shoot your pistol/revolver. I am right-handed, but it seems that I'm left-eye dominant. I have also dry fired left-handed, and it seems that I hold the gun more steadily in my left hand than in my right hand. How about you guys?

I know people start these threads a lot, but I've always wondered what type of gun the agents carry on The Matrix.

I have noticed that a lot of anti's use statistics in their arguments for gun control. I have also noticed that many people in my classes here use statistics as the basis for their entire arguments. Now I know that statistics are patchy at best, but can anyone provide a good argument as to why...

I recently sent this to Governer Manchin of WV. I was wondering what you think of what I wrote to him, and what impact this would have, if any?

I have a 4 inch Springfield XD-9 in OD Green (Ported) made before 2006, so it only has a blued finish. Springfield Custom Shop offers a refinishing service which would give it a Nickel Teflon finish on all metal parts of the gun for $175. My question is, would it be worth the money to get this...

I've just noticed something that seems to be a recurring theme in the media, every time someone loads a revolver in a movie/tv show, they spin the wheel around really fast. Is this something normal shooters do, or is it just something they do so you can hear the whirring/clicking sound it makes...

I have been wondering what the advantage to CCW'ing a revolver to semi would be? In the semi, you can carry more ammo, but with the revolver you can carry .357, which is much more powerful. Is there anyone here who can tell me what the benefits to carrying a revolver are?

I did a search of the forum for over an hour and couldn't find much on the subject. Who here open carries, and do you encounter any problems with that? I'm considering open carry because my current "fashion" makes concealed carry difficult (i.e. I wear polo shirts tucked into either khaki...

I've been kinda wondering about this little topic for a while. Then Koppel mentioned the question on the Discovery Channel the other night, and I wondered what you guys might think. Where do you think we should draw the line between liberty and security? (For one example, the right to privacy...
