    Gun safe questions

    i have a cheaper ~$600 china made safe.... however, the entire exterior of the house (including cable/phone box) is covered with security cams, the inside has indoor cams and doors have door-devil and quality locks... so you could take the cable box out and i get an alert immediately of you...

    bumpstock ban process

    bumpstocks always fell into the category "play stupid games - win stupid prizes". "technically" they were compliant with the verbiage of the NFA ruling... but obviously going well against the INTENT of that rule. And that's the fine difference... giving the finger to the ATF and exploiting a...

    Firearm Prices Going Lower

    I highly doubt we see a run on AR15s again.... frankly - if you wanted one and didn't buy it over last 4yrs... you probably don't want one. Prices have been rock bottom lately, manufacturers have ramped up capacity to max and even ammunition is back full in stock.

    Underwood Xtreme Defender Ammo

    yup. anybody who uses a "Xtreme Penetrator" labeled round with a claimed 16" ( !!) of penetration for home-defense or carry is a :banghead: A non-expanding, very fast and fairly light 9mm round will just punch one fairly small hole through the bad guy - I take expanding JHP any-day over...

    Underwood Xtreme Defender Ammo

    a) they need to check their website... product description says "90 grains" and further below "115 grains" b) it's a solid copper machined bullet so 90 grains seems more realistic c) you are also certainly NOT pushing 115 grains @ 1475 fps regardless of +P or not... d) why in the world...

    What are the shooting and hunting opportunities like in Seattle WA area?

    I lived up in that area for 18 months.... used to go to WestCoast Armory in Factoria but let my membership ($$$) expire once the post - Sandy Hook ammo craziness started and shooting got really expensive. pros for WestCoast: - very nice and clean facilities - area for higher membership...

    if M-16's were legal again...

    Full auto has a high potential for abuse while offering little to no real world application. It's basically good for one thing : mowing down folks with little to no regards how many hits you actually get. The tommy gun wasn't used for precision work during the prohibition times... But...

    if M-16's were legal again...

    I for my part am completely fine with Fully-Automatic rifles/guns being very restricted... literally the ONLY gun control part I'm fine with. Why? Full-Auto is useless for self-defense - and a huge liability because of lack of accuracy Full-Auto is rarely used in military settings...

    Now we look incompetent

    the pictures I saw online about those "guards" didn't look good.... posing, bogger finger inside the trigger guard, camo clothing and the mall-ninja look. Aside from that: who has time to sit in a camping chair in the middle of a work-day (!) in front of a recruiting office? :scrutiny:

    If you want to know why ammo is still scarce...

    only .22LR and now 5.56/.223 seem to be scarce here in North Texas... .22LR I haven't seen in a long long time and 5.56 is basically gone ever since the "greentip" discussions came up any pistol caliber is widely available... Walmart has WWB for $26/100rds ; Perfecta brass cased for...

    What do people mean by mental illness?

    IMHO mentally ill (and should be banned from owning guns) is someone who is a DANGER to society. And that is typically defined by prior run ins with the law OR being admitted to a mental institution against your will. If we prevent everybody who ever felt depressed, OCD, anxiety and...

    5 Gunfighting Myths Debunked By Massad Ayoob

    as many have stated before... avoiding a "gunfight" is a much better strategy than engaging armed to the teeth in a gunfight. and the author is clearly reaching when he is "debunking" myth by citing Wild-West era (!)shoot outs or police interactions as examples for "gunfights" the average...

    NICS Rant...

    NICS sometimes requires MORE research and an actual person has to do more digging... hence the "delayed" verdict. names might match the names of criminals something else gets flagged etc. IMHO when I was on a H1B work permit I got ALWAYS delayed because they had to run additional...

    5 Gunfighting Myths Debunked By Massad Ayoob

    "If they are pointing a gun at you and have fired or threaten to fire, you have every reason in the world to feel your life is I danger" Bingo. Nailed it. My example was just somebody from a greater distance pointing (not aiming !) a rifle at you and there have been NO verbal threats or...

    5 Gunfighting Myths Debunked By Massad Ayoob

    ok... so assuming somebody points a rifle at you (doesn't shoot) at 25yds+ distance and you fire the first shot and kill the guy.... the DA will be very interested in knowing: - how you could see the guy was even threatening you at that distance? - was his hand even on the trigger? -...

    5 Gunfighting Myths Debunked By Massad Ayoob

    "I just quoted two great gunfighters, Wyatt Earp and Bill Allard, who won many shootouts carefully aiming their guns" yeah.... and because Wyatt Earp shoot-outs are comparable to your average SD shooting in the year 2015... same holds true for his "debunking" of "you cannot justify...

    Has the 12 gauge lost popularity as a HD gun over the past few years

    yeah... a shotgun and you don't have to aim... :banghead: a standard length shotgun has a pretty darn small spread at let's say 5-7 yds :rolleyes: which is a typical self-defense distance.

    Who shoots M855? and Why?

    I shoot it because it's reliable and used to be just around 30 cents per round. By far the most affordable brass-cased U.S. made 5.56 ammo you could find.

    Hoarding and pricing 'the little people' out of the market,,,

    the Walmarts in North Dallas have Federal Aluminum cased 9mm for $9.97 / 50rds... and plenty available. sure... 5.56 is a tad harder to find since mid February... but 5.56 was plentiful and CHEAP for more than a year before that. If someone didn't stock up while it was going for 30cents/rd...
