Well, from what I've read about that, congress cut off funding to that program for any investigations into restoring rights in 1992. That seems odd though, I thought I have heard of other people getting their firearm rights restored. Perhaps that was only at a state level? Edit: "Congress...

I contacted Paul Ferris and asked him about it. This was the reply... So I'm not sure what to make of this. Apparently I'm now federally prohibited, but can get my right to possess firearms in Washington state restored? I'm guess this just means that I can no longer purchase through an...

So after a long wait I got my response back from the FBI/DOJ concerning my denial. As I eventually suspected it's because of a little stay I had in the local psych ward. The thing that's bugging me is that I was supposed to be informed orally and in writing that I no longer have firearms...

Inebriated, you're partially right. However, ears of mammals have a way of acclimating to loud noise so it's not so uncomfortable. The only problem is that it can still cause hearing damage. So while it might not bother the dog, it could still be causing him permanent hearing damage.

Well, I live in Washington, so I'll keep this in mind but I doubt I'll run into any of them. I would check out things like the Penny Press or Thrifty Nickle. Don't pawn shops automatically submit the serial number of firearms to the local authorities to compare to stolen weapons reports...

There's a lot of women around my area arming themselves lately. I don't remember the organization name, but they're basically a group of mothers that formed a concealed carry support group. I can see this sort of thing being a perfect example to a mother of why she would want to conceal carry...

Anyone ever try Benchmade's "blue lube" for their gun? Made for knives ( well, made by a company that makes knives ) but I can't think of why I wouldn't be good on guns too.

Not really... A Marlin 60 will be my first firearm of my own, but I've shot air rifles ever since I was 10 and the first firearm I shot was a 9mm when I was a real young kid, then a .357 and a .30-30 on the same day when I was a little older. First .22 I shot was a 10/22 I shot the same day as...

I don't think anyone is more at risk with the gun around than if it weren't around. Predisposition to suicide and the methods of it are pretty wide ranging. I don't know though, to me it seems like what to do amongst your own family is up to you though. I mean, you're the only one that...

PlateStacker, so you're comparing firearms to drug paraphernalia and prostitutes?

My mom ( well, my friend's mom, anyway) is like that, but I think it's because she has some PTSD issues. I guess her brother shot himself in the driveway when she was a teenager or something. So she won't even touch a gun. I think it's PTSD related because she doesn't like "popping" noises of...

I really doubt that he was thinking, "Oh, jam my finger between the hammer," and was just grabbing for the gun and got lucky with his finger placement.

I read somewhere once that lower velocity rounds ( especially lead rounds ) tend to ricochet more while still being fully intact, where as higher velocity and jacketed rounds tend to shatter and rip themselves apart on contact. The basic theory was that the transfer of energy between the steel...

What was the length/height of the t nut? Seems like most of them are 5/16"

Yeah, I mostly shoot targets from a stationary position, but also thought it would make it a little awkward to aim if I wanted to shoot upright and unstablized. One thing I'm still not quite clear on though... You put the t nut in, then you get a sling swivel for the t nut and a bipod attaches...

popper, I just wanted to research a bipod for it. I've shot with bipods before and they offer a lot of stability, but I wanted one that would be detatchable too. I might just go with some shooting sticks instead, haven't really made up my mind.

Is this the sort of thing a gunsmith could take care of? Seems like the kind of thing I might be willing to pay a little extra for someone else to take care of...

I don't have a problem admitting that I like the drama, my biggest problem is that the show tends to get more drama-oriented than shooting oriented. It gets to the point where you kind of feel like it just happens to be a soap opera with a shooting competition rather than a shooting competition...

It might be a good idea to have courses available in it, but I don't really think it needs to be something offered by our schools because it just doesn't seem that relevant to student life. As someone else said, a lot of teenagers would take advantage of a driver's ed course, how many would...

I thought last night's episode was one of the best of the season as far as lack of drama and straight-shooting competition goes. As far as "drama" goes, I really like Jake and Dustin. Polar opposites in character, both really great shooters. I kind of hope it comes down to those two for...
