    Is there any reason for me to keep my 4473s

    Interesting because yesterday i bought a little baby pistol from Academy Sports and they refused to let me even take a picture of the electronic 4473 on the computer screen. They did give me a copy of their electronic bound book acquisition/disposition. That's not exactly what i would call...

    Sportsman’s Warehouse

    I was looking and the closest location to me is about 100 miles but still in state. Might be worth the drive or ride up(motorcycle) if it's warm enough. Our state allows concealed permit to be used in lieu of background check so i assume they would clear me on the spot. The last firearm a bought...

    Is a body cam my best legal protection as a CCW Person?

    It only takes several seconds and a button push to activate mine i wear while on a motorcycle. It stays on standby mode. Bikers wear go pros and such so no one pays it any attention. The idea is you activate it if you even think there is a reason to do so. If it turns out there was no reason...

    does your gunshop check if the used guns being traded in are stolen?

    That was me that bought a brand new in the box stolen firearm from a FFL dealer. I had bought it 17 years previously so i no longer remembered the dealer or had any paperwork on it. Turns out it had been stolen new from another FFL two years previously and was still NIB when purchased in 2005. I...

    Is a body cam my best legal protection as a CCW Person?

    That situation might be likened to a truckdriver with a dash cam saying aloud,"The next SOB that cuts me off is going to get mashed like a potato", and then having an accident where he really runs over a car. Not good.

    Is a body cam my best legal protection as a CCW Person?

    In the end a camera is just a witness that doesn't lie, no more no less.

    Is a body cam my best legal protection as a CCW Person?

    Oh yeah i forgot to add, if things really go south you might have to eat the memory card. I believe a little mustard would help it taste better.:):)

    Is a body cam my best legal protection as a CCW Person?

    Ok here's some input from someone who wears a bodycam while riding a motorcycle. It's not recording all the time and it can be placed on standby to where it can be activated with the push of a button. People see bikers wearing gopro's and such all the time so no one pays much attention to it...

    Anyone ever have a dog afraid of guns?

    My 100 pound pit bull mix will try to take it out of your hand when firing. She must think it's some kind of fireworks, which she loves to attack. I have a video from about 11 years ago of me firing a rifle. A nearby dog flees in terror while a somewhat tame deer comes running up to see what i...

    Traded for a strange Ruger .22/45. Questions.

    Hmmm. Thanks for that information. The reasons for the gun modification are a bit clearer now. Fellow i traded with got it from a pawnshop and didn't realize it had been modified, nor did i until i did a little internet research. I'm happy with it.

    Traded for a strange Ruger .22/45. Questions.

    Yeah sort of but if you liked the looks and feel of the Ruger .22/45 Mark II, why not just buy one to begin with?

    Traded for a strange Ruger .22/45. Questions.

    I like the Mark II grip shape and the looks too, which is really why i traded for it. Someone may have had a Ruger hobby. I don't think anyone would replace the loaded chamber indicator with the blank insert unless they were fairly knowledgeable about the firearm. Anyways it works for me.

    Traded for a strange Ruger .22/45. Questions.

    Traded for a Ruger Mark III .22/45 target recently. I'm not familiar with these models although i had a Mark I a long time ago. It turns out after some research it's a Mark III with a production date of 2010. It has a Mark II lower with the standard one piece? black grip. The loaded chamber...

    Authentic Custer Little Bighorn Battlefield Colt SAA

    I had watched that video and i believe the backstory was that this weapon had been in the same family for generations. It was said to have been originally purchased by a family member in the 1800's from an Indian who had stated he found it on the battlefield some time after the battle. The...

    What was your first gun and do you still have it (them)?

    A Sears 3T .22 rifle. Got it for my 13th birthday around 1965. It's the one possession i've managed to keep all these years.

    Old Ammo

    I have some boxes of Nazi headstamped 8X56 ammo dated 1938. It still shoots nicely. Now i did have quite a few boxes of 7.62X25 Tokarev ammo dated in the 50's that had to be thrown away about 10 years ago. The primers were going bad and every few rounds would hang fire. Totally dangerous.

    Full electronic 4473 didn't go so well.

    The last firearm i bought was in 2016 so i guess electronic is the norm now. The three employees didn't seem too familiar with the process so it was probably an employee problem. The "proof of ownership" with the gun and purchase info was still handwritten though.

    Full electronic 4473 didn't go so well.

    So i bought a Ruger EC9s today. The whole purchase process was filled out on a tablet at Academy Sports. I used my concealed permit for the background check. It was not a smooth process. I had to fill out the electronic form twice because the first time it deleted itself. It took three sales...
