Help! Just got a 21A (older model, with CT laser grip). Grip is wonderful, trigger not bad, but everything else is incredibly stiff to operate. Barrel release almost tears the skin off my thumb. Reseating the barrel requires great effort, and sometimes requires manipulating the...

Anyone have any experience/knowledge re the feasability of mounting a scope on a single-barrel gun (H&R/Rossi type)? Can they be tapped? Soldered?

Anyone know what Finland's laws on handguns are like?

Can anyone explain why this is not a "silencer"? http://www.metrogun.com/ Likewise "bloop tubes" on target rifles?

It has occurred to me that, in a gunfight, your danger lessens (relatively) if your opponent is moving, as his accuracy will be off; conversely, when he is at his most dangerous, he must have his head stationary, at least momentarily, in order to aim. Would there not be some utility in...

Can anyone point me to an older thread asking about board members' actual, personal self-defense shooting experiences?

Home defense shotgun with 1st shell rubber buckshot - to allow shooting without hesitation (which would otherwise be highly likely, as I have never been in a shoot/no_shoot situation before). Thoughts?

Can someone explain this to me? I thought I understood English better than most, but I can make no clear sense of that sentence. The only thing I can come up with, is that out-of-Staters can't be subject to different laws, but they obviously are (e.g. hunting licenses, carry permits, etc.)...

Does anyone know if it is possible, even in theory, to use the courts against government officials other than LEO for violating rights “under color of law’? Either by civil lawsuit, or criminal charges? Do judges, prosecutors, executives, and legislators have total immunity for their actions?

Anyone have a good link?

There have been many analyses showing the flaws in the infamous Kellerman study purporting to show that a gun in the home is 43 times more likely to kill a household member than an intruder. There is, however, one point which I have never seen addressed: even if Kellerman’s figures were...

IANAL, so I'm asking for clarification from those more knowledgable than I. Please do not laugh too hard if these questions are simple-minded. I just read a bit about Dicta, and Stare Decisis, and if I'm understanding what I read, it implies that Miller has surprisingly little binding power...

I’ve been doing some target shooting (off-hand), and I’ve discovered a problem I can’t explain, so I’m looking for tips. When I raise the rifle to shoot, I find that I’m always holding a bit below the bull when I acquire the target in the scope. It is relative; that is, aiming at the uppermost...

Does anyone KNOW what the original charge against Weaver was? I mean, the specific description(s) of the 'illegal' shotgun(s) barrel length? I have read the Justice Dept report on the Ruby Ridge affair, but it doesn't go into that detail.

Does anyone KNOW if there are/were specific, differentiated, legal meanings for these terms? They all appear in the Constitution, but what is the exact difference among them? (I’m looking for something pretty solid legally – court decisions, legislative rules, historic usage, etc. Make...

I would like to see if we can start a change in the way the gun rights issue is discussed by the general public. I propose a concerted effort to use the term “militia rifle” when speaking of ARs, AKs, etc. This would have many advantages: 1) It’s concise: Much easier to say than...

I have seen statements indicating that certain types of firearms/devices, which are restricted/prohibited under NFA, etc., can nonetheless legally be made by an individual, for his/her own use, but not sold to anyone else. Does anyone have a pointer to specific details?

If a citizen makes a "good shoot" in self-defense, in a "Castle Doctrine" state, is there an official way that the decison is made permanent? If there is no trial, then there is no legal decision, is there? In other words, if the DA declines to prosecute, can another DA, ten years from now...

I just read a piece in Guns & Ammo (a letter, I think) stating that there was a recent change in self-defense laws in Texas. The claim is that you have to shoot ONCE & ONCE ONLY; then look to see the effect. Only if the threat is seen to persist, can you fire again. No "double taps", or...

Scenario: (this 1st part is based on a real incident, recently in the news) LEO stops female driver for ostensible traffic infraction; LEO informs driver that he will let her off if she performs sexual acts for him; (now the hypothetical part) Enraged drivers announces "You are under...
