    How would you handle this?

    I'm a big believer in the second amendment, but also realize that the first thing on the founder's minds was freedom of speech. You are entitled to your opinion, but so are they. Also, you didn't say if this was a commercial permitted sign (like a billboard) or some home made sign stuck on a...

    Antigunners are losing their minds over terminology

    I gathered that, but I couldn't quote who you were quoting.:):):)

    Antigunners are losing their minds over terminology

    That would be a bomb. Or a missile. At the very least, a machine gun. Clearly, a semi automatic rifle, regardless of caliber or amount of ammo available to it, would not be a good choice, hence why no military force currently issues them to the average trooper. They want us disarmed, perhaps to...

    First-ever ‘smart gun’ with fingerprint and facial recognition unlocking system hits the market

    That's exactly my argument on any sort of infringement they want to enact.

    Went to the DACA Gun Show at South Fork today

    I remember when gun shows had mostly used guns, a good amount of related things like pins, patches, t-shirts, etc. Now it's mostly brand new guns, and black ones at that, which don't interest me after carrying an M-16 for so long.

    Florida bill could hand gun owners huge win, make the US a constitutional carry majority country

    They're a California company. Why would they go against the Parental Rights in Education bill? Not so much anymore.

    Biden to announce executive order on gun sale background checks

    Back in the 80's when they first came up with the background check system I supported the concept because I didn't want to sell a gun to a prohibited person. I now realize the multitude of reasons that the system is a failure. From GIGO information to things deliberately left out of being...

    Thing is, most gun companies, even some very prestigious named companies, have made a clunker or two. A few companies got painted with the "Oh, they make crap guns!" undeservedly so because they made ugly guns, not bad guns.

    With guns like the Dagger and BRG9, why pay more for FN, Glock, Walther, H&K, etc?

    This is pretty much why I bought an Apple Ipod, everybody and their great aunt were making accessories such as docking equipped radios etc. One of the things about the Hi-Point is the slightly longer carbine magazine won't fit and work in the same caliber handgun. Dumb, if you ask me.

    I'm in the hospital because I made a near-fatal error

    A firearm going off unexpectedly is a surprising Whiskey Tango Foxtrot moment, I was startled but just kept the gun pointed downrange for a 30 count. I do the same for misfires, have been lucky enough to not have a hangfire, but was at the range a couple of times when guys did and luckily...

    I'm in the hospital because I made a near-fatal error

    Just recently had an accidental discharge at the range. I say AD not ND because I wasn't negligent, the hammer broke on my Extar EP9 and it didn't stay back, dropped on a live round. The weapon was pointed downrange and nothing exciting happened other than the accidental double-tap. Extar...

    Macon County judge finds state gun ban violates Illinois Constitution

    I still fail to understand how you can think you can regulate something you can't define.

    Surviving a gunshot wound

    I wish you the best, it's never a good thing to be shot but you're still posting so there's that. Heal well and fast.

    Have a 2" bbl .357 Bull Gun and it shoots reliably with all in the black offhand at 25'.

    Favorite Unloved Firearms

    I always look at things as being use-specific. To explain that, I'd have to point to vehicles. A production vehicle you'd take the whole family on a picnic with is hardly useful for racing for example. I recommend Hi Point firearms, particularly handguns, in 9mm and larger caliber for someone...

    I have a Victory .22 also, love it!

    I'm in the hospital because I made a near-fatal error

    I, too, am sorry about your accident, it just goes to show that no matter how much experience one has, a simple moment of inattention can result in something bad. Aren't you glad you didn't have a .44? :)
