    Need a SMALL handgun case...

    I use an Americase 8" X 14" or an ICC (my favorite) with a combination padlock. The ammo had to be in an original box, not a plastic generic one, and separate from the gun.

    .45 ACP Shot Shells

    I too think that smaller shot (10,11,12) is more effective for snakes. The discontinued Remington crimped loads work the best of any we've tried in the ACP. The #12 shot literally covers a target at eight feet, snakes go limp.

    Gunshops in N. GA & SC?

    I like Grady's (done business with them since 1968) and The Gun Shop. I do business with both. George (owner of The Gun Shop) is also a stocking Cooper Arms dealer and offers some good prices. Another that is a bit out of the way is Chuck's Firearms in Buckhead. Jack Leshner runs it now...

    Talked to Jerry Ahern at Detonics USA yesterday

    Even the original Detonics pistol was expensive, mine was about $500 in 1977. To be frank, I don't recall if the frame was investment cast or not. Mine was a good shooter, but a bit finicky with some ammo. But, at that time there were only a couple of 1911 patterns close in size. The Star...

    .45 Long Colt in H&R .45-70?

    Ace Dube makes inserts and cartridge adapters for a number of calibers. The only one suitable for a .45-70 single shot rifle is his .22 LR insert. I've used several centerfire to rimfire adapters and his work very well. www.mcace.com

    A good sign in Arkansas on Property Confiscation ruling

    The problem needs to be addressed at the State and Local level. Based on what I've read, it was the state constitution that allows such seizure. South Carolina's constitution offers more protection for landowners than federal law. Our Supreme Court has already ruled that even though there...

    9 states say eminent domain unconstitutional!

    Elected city and county officials that pursue this type of land grab should be dealt with at the next election. In no uncertain terms they should understand that they will be voted out of office.

    A good sign in Arkansas on Property Confiscation ruling

    Private development should not be allowed to use eminent domain, period.

    When people ask for advice, why don't they listen?

    A good friend of mine says, "most people don't want advice, they want an accomplice". Truer words have not been spoken.

    trouble with my new Detonics Combat Master

    I can't comment on the new ones, but my old Detonics was very susceptable to limp wristing. You didn't specify the ammo you are using, but the lighter weight stuff didn't work as well for me as the standard bullet weights (ie 230).

    NICS Weirdness

    I always provide my SSN, although I am not thrilled about it. I was delayed (never refused) consistently also, until the last year or so. I was delayed last year in Atlanta on an out of state rifle purchase, but it may have been due to a local deal. I suspected someone, with the same name...

    Pleasent suprise at gun show this weekend/CWP law changes in SC

    I wasn't paying attention, but isn't it now legal to carry in State Parks? At one time, no firearms were allowed.

    McCain on Meet The Press...

    The republican primaries will be a dogfight, and I just don't see McCain surviving them. I don't see the deep south faithful voting for him. Even my own Senator Graham is in trouble for his defection. He's got some 'splaining to do when he gets home. I seriously doubt McCain will run third...

    Non-residents Can't Buy Firearms?

    I've already contacted my Representative and Senator (both are friends of mine) to address this issue. However, I would not want to be a defendant in order to challenge the statute. Regardless of what the ATF says, I doubt seriously they have any control over the state statutes.

    Best Flashlight to carry

    Surefire E1L, very durable with a longer battery life than the non-led version.

    Non-residents Can't Buy Firearms?

    Yes, there are states that still use "contiguous", "adjoining", or "bordering" in the statutes. My own state of SC has it in the statutes: SECTION 23-31-10. Purchase of rifle or shotgun in contiguous state. Any resident of this State including a corporation or other business entity...

    Non-residents Can't Buy Firearms?

    I would thoroughly peruse the ATF website, just to be 100% certain that the purchase met all criteria. A photo ID is, I believe, a requirement for the 4473. I wish you success :) It is a crying shame that some states continue to harass gunowners with useless laws. In South Carolina...
