NM is nice from my house in santa fe ("fanta se") I have: - national forest hiking trails, 5-10 minutes away - ski basin, 13 miles driveway-to-parking lot - half a dozen other ski basins within 100-150 miles. - BLM land for shooting, 20 minutes away - probably 30 restaurants within...

my last few flights on southwest with a handgun have been pretty painless. one extra piece of advice: whether we like it or not, guns make a lot of people nervous, and if you've got a nervous clerk or TSA agent and you act like a smart-ass or a bossy know-it-all, you're just going to make...

the law says only one concealed handgun at any given time. so sure you can carry a BUG -- just make sure your primary isn't concealed. :banghead:

my FFL always records the shipper's info in his transfers log (although I don't recall if this is a legal/ATF requirement or just something he does). so I've never though much of it when an FFL to whom I was shipping directly requested a copy of my ID... probably just a CYA maneuver on their part.

definitely not. carry of any type, loaded or not, concealed or not, into any place that serves alcohol for on-premises consumption, is a 4th-class felony. this means you can't go to the gun shop, pick up a pistol, then go to the restaurant next door for lunch if they serve booze. doesn't...

while I agree with your sentiment, with the housing market down it is actually a renter's market right now. lots of people who can't sell are trying to rent. increased supply + fixed demand = lower prices. willfully entering into a contract is not oppression. it is an agreement between...

I love the logic here. by most people's reasoning, I should be able to conduct a pro-Hillary rally in their front yard. hey, it's my first amendment right afterall and they (the property owner) cannot prevent me from exercising that. another interesting point: willingly entering into a...

+1. I carry a 1911 because I shoot it the best. before that I carried a Glock. The 1911 just works better for me. Now once I settled on the 1911 platform, I chose a Kimber because it has the features I want at a price I could afford. If I could have bought a Nighthawk or Wilson or...

So I've decided to start getting into competition shooting, in particular USPSA, hopefully 3-gun, and possibly IDPA. I intend to start with my Kimber TLE 1911 using 10-rd magazines, in Limited-10 and maybe IDPA CDP depending on which club I go to. I've run the gun through multiple handgun...

it's about her feelings, not the guns As Chris Rock eloquently puts it, women are not handicapped by sense or logic in an argument. :) More seriously, your actions are challenging her feelings on the issue, and this has clearly triggered a "fight or flight" response. right now she's...

Sent to Tom Udall (D-NM) feel free to cut/paste any of this

anyone with better legal knowledge than mine care to comment on how this section may or may not conflict with US v Miller??

Just to clarify, since it hasn't been necessarily obvious from this thread: McCarthy has introduced TWO firearms-related bills. HR 1022, titled "To reauthorize the assault weapons ban, and for other purposes.". Can't find any text on this yet. HR 297, titled "To improve the National Instant...

do you have data to back up your 3/4 claim? do you have any evidence of someone asking about semi vs auto on the Internet, then going and doing a home conversion? do you have any evidence of someone asking about semi vs auto on the Internet, then turning out to be an ATF agent? I'm not saying...

the key is a good belt and holster +1 on the milt sparks. I use a VMII with a wilderness tactical belt. a 1911 with full mag is pushing 3 pounds, so a good holster and belt work wonders in keeping everything in place and tight against your body. keeping the pistol close to your body also...

in a crisis, having a gun in the first place is likely to be a whole lot more important than the particular type of gun that you have. and being proficient with that gun is likely to be a whole lot more important than the particular pros and cons of that platform and caliber. so find...

heavier hollow point bullets tend to penetrate more deeply while still demonstrating good expansion. this is supported by both FBI (I think it was FBI - correct me if I'm wrong) testing of *clothed* gelatin performance as well as hunting folklore ("heavier bullets for bigger game"). and in...

+1. it really depends on what you are using the rifle for. Figure that out then build the weapon for that. That is my (utilitarian) approach. My M4gery is intended to be a general purpose defensive weapon. That means HD and SHTF duty. So it's set up with a quad rail, VFG, ACOG...

my home security system Biological Intruder Detection and Elimination System (BIDES): If that doesn't work: Kimber 1911 and a couple AR-15s:
