    uh, how does doping improve shooting performance (N. Korea stripped of medal)

    Non-selective β-blockers like propranlolol can be prescribed to reduce essential tremors. They will reduce hypertension, cardiac output, heart rate, etc. For any sport that requires you to stand motionless, this would be a performance enhancing drug. In terms of giving it to patients, if...

    Moving to California...

    He can pick up the forms at any California DMV office OR he can go to the California Attorney General's website, and get this form: click me for the form. He'd only need to register the handguns. He's going to have to leave any magazines with >10 round capacity behind. Same with rifle...

    1911 transition question

    The M&P, XD, and probably a Sig P250 all should have a similar grip angle to a 1911 platform. They're all decent guns (we can't get a P250 normally here in Ca) but with the XD series, if you have to depress the grip safety, depress it fully. Otherwise, it can lock up irreparably outside of the...

    SMG Ammo Help

    I'm not an SMG owner by any means, but SMG ammo may have harder primers and they may be loaded hotter than even +P+. It may or may not do damage to your pistol. IIRC, the SEALS in Coronado had a couple of M9 slide failures, possibly due to or partially due to the use of SMG ammo in the pistol at...

    Use of Deadly Force

    Since this is a non-military enagagement, warning shots are a bad thing. There are no "warning shots". If you're justified to draw, you should be justified to lawfully fire.

    HK Mark 23 and Glock 21 SF

    The Mk 23 wasn't designed to be an "Offensive Handgun", it was designed to be a Military Handgun, capable of being suppressed. In other words, it's designed for the Special Ops folks. It's designed to be carried openly. Period. It was designed for accuracy and low recoil. The .45ACP round is...

    Tactical Treatment of Gunshot Wounds-May 26, 2008-Doc Gunn

    Soldiers do not have to worry about scope of practice issues like civilians do. The worry would be even further mitigated if they receive training and have orders to perform those techniques when necessary.

    SF Bay Area CCW

    The only thing "State Mandated" about the BSIS Course of Fire is that it is mandated only for people that have a BSIS issued Gun Permit. CCW courses of fire vary greatly. Approved CCW courses also vary greatly. They can be anything from PC 832 (if required by all applicants) to a 16 hour course...

    SF Bay Area CCW

    No, I did not miss that portion of the code. If that part of the code was the reason for his CCW in a county outside where he resides, that should be a 90 day CCW that is only good in the county that issued it, not a 2 year CCW that is valid statewide. I excluded that because he specified that...

    Magazine disconnect pro/con.

    I also live in California. If the pistol is on the list, no matter how long it has been on there, if the fees are paid to keep the pistol on the list, it will remain on the list. The Loaded Chamber Indicator and Magazine Disconnect only applies to either new pistols being submitted for testing...

    Which military surplus rifle fits you best?

    I really like my M1 Garand. It is currently the only Mil Surp rifle I own. That will change someday... I have shot a K31 and I really enjoyed it, but the ammo is a bit expensive. My K31 experience is this: I dang near shot out the X ring at 50 yards my first (and so far only) time shooting one...

    The CMP Correct Grade Garand

    That is one very, very nice specimen of a Rifle. Mine is a late 6.09 Mil that is from about the same time period. It appears to have a NM Barrel and a whole bunch of NM parts. I don't know if it's a Greek Return or not, but it appears to have been built or rebuilt into a NM rifle. It shoots...

    SF Bay Area CCW

    QuarterBoreGunner, you live in San Francisco but you have a Santa Clara County CCW? How then, do you legally get around the following: My understanding is that your legal primary residence is what counts. I take it then that your legal primary residence is in Santa Clara County? The only...

    just bought my first Garand...question

    I also own a Garand. I have learned from those that came before... and have avoided the dreaded "Garand Thumb". Mostly I avoid getting this by not pushing a clip down with the tip of my thumb, rather I keep my thumb parallel to the bore and push down with the pad of my thumb. This also puts the...

    California, what rules do I need to know?

    Now your statement makes sense to me. Unless he was able to purchase them legally without having to involve a FFL (yes, I know this is possible outside of California), all of his firearms would have a paper trail associated with them that would lead Law Enforcement to him. It's called Form 4473...

    California, what rules do I need to know?

    Ergosphere: EVERYTHING that the OP listed can be legally imported to California. The AK would have to be modified in certain ways (that are reversible) to keep it legal, but it also could be imported. Because of the possibility that the AK may not be configured correctly prior to it's...

    California, what rules do I need to know?

    Jim: That's exactly why I suggested that the OP move to Amador County. San Joaquin County can be a tough nut to crack, but it would be easier than getting a CCW in the Bay Area Counties and Sacramento. Amador County is generally regarded as being very easy. Finding a place that is outside city...

    California, what rules do I need to know?

    CWL: Although what you have posted is in the Penal Code, Case Law has modified that greatly. Case Law specifies that Assault Weapons must be listed by Make and Model. If it is not specifically named, it is just another ordinary rifle that must not have certain features.

    the movie Shooter

    The movie "Shooter" is a movie. However, the "hero" is supposed to be an extremely good rifleman. Hitting something 200 yards away with a .22LR is not impossible.

    California, what rules do I need to know?

    Blarelli: your AK is NOT on the AW list. It MUST be listed by Make AND Model. Nothing by "Tantal" is on the list. Your AK would have to configured by "Feature" to be considered an Assault Weapon. "AK Series" is not legal. There have been a couple of California Supreme Court cases that specify...
