Which is why the militia is supposed to be "well regulated."

In a free society, there will be those who abuse those freedoms to harm others. In a restricted society, there will still be those who skirt the law to harm others. This causes a compounding legal problem for those who are forced into a defensive situation. The notion that restrictions keep us...

Considering that's the age range of the majority of gang bangers, that makes sense. This discounts that persons of any age who jump through legal hoops to obtain firearms are statistically unlikely to commit violent crimes. If we haven't taught our children to be respectful and responsible by...

Because she was seeking the Democrat nomination for President, which is impossible without being in lockstep with Democrat gun control proposals. Just mentioning any protection at all for 2A, no matter how trivial, is the kiss of death for such candidacy, and likely one major reason for her...

I carry the M18 occasionally, manual safety engaged. In my view it's not the lightness of the trigger but the extremely short travel required to disengage the internal safeties. A slight rub from the holster on a Glock isn't likely to defeat the trigger safety, but the P320 has no such device...

I have to cringe at even local "news" outlets saying "legally registered" in this state. CT doesn't have a gun "registry" except for machine guns and so-called legally-defined "assault weapons" (i.e. pre-ban). https://giffords.org/lawcenter/state-laws/registration-in-connecticut/ I know...

I resemble that, LOL. I find a similar issue with 3rd-Gen Smiths. As a decocker-only I'm fine with a slide-mounted lever. But then again, I trained for a long time with 1911's, then with classic Sig's, so anything else seems alien to me.

I've been ordering from TSI for years, never a hassle or mix-up. I live close enough that I can pick it up at their location if need be.

My primary motivation for owning a firearm initially was self defense, but the recreational aspect quickly eclipsed that. I've never been a hunter, but have always had a secondary interest in it. My engineer's brain is more interested in the mechanics of firearms and the physics of ballistic...

I hope some actionable pushback happens quickly, because we here in CT, with our CT-legal "others," are between a rock and a hard place. There is virtually nothing we can do to satisfy both this new rule and CT state law until we either receive some guidance from either SLFU or the legislature...

This is going to be a nightmare for people in states like CT where the predominant configuration is "other" (designed to be fired with 2 hands, does not have a stock (i.e. pistol brace is OK) and has an overall length that exceeds 26″) and to which the state adds requirements of VFG and 10rd...

I really wanted a Scout Squad, but there are none to be had in my vicinity, and nobody has any idea when they might get more in. There was a Loaded 6.5 Creedmoor on the rack but I didn't want another caliber, so the SOCOM 16 was it. Not being a historically accurate M14 clone I would have no...

I tripped over one of these at the LGS and convinced myself that I needed it. I've wanted an M1A for a long time, and with these being rare as hen's teeth around here, I decided it was time. This rifle is tons of fun, accurate enough for anything out to 100 yards. Much beyond that the shooter...

The quality of my run-of-the-mill mid-70's Highway Patrolman is lightyears ahead of the new crop, IMHO. I just haven't been very impressed with any new model.

The safety on a 1911 is perfectly placed for seamless deactivation on draw. I have other reasons for not wanting to rely on a manual safety while carrying, but I see no real disadvantage in speed of engagement with a 1911 in Condition 1 over any other method or arms.

In my state, every firearm transaction, whether bought or sold, private or via FFL, must receive an authorization number from the state police. The state police validate the SN and search the NTC's database (I believe via eTrace) and validate the transferee's FFL or state permit before issuing...

The next chance I get to hit the outdoor range, I'm slinging some magnums through the Highway Patrolman. Then fine tuning the Romeo2 on the P229 Legion. Come to think of it, I haven't had a rifle range trip since before the pandemic.

8 bullets per round? Good argument for carrying a larger caliber. Where can I find these new Federal HST-MIRV rounds? So after watching this empty head say more stupid things on national TV, empty-headed voters will actually believe that one can magically alter the bolt and sear, turning an...

I've seen the video detailing the mechanism in the P320, and that inspired me to trade it in. Too many possible points of failure, and tolerances must be very precise. I can see normal wear over time causing malfunctions. No thanks. I've carried Glocks AIWB after vetting them for several...

Maybe they'll bankrupt themselves from paying travel costs for all those employees to travel out of state to obtain abortions. Eff Dick's.
