    Walmart reloading supplies in Texas

    Calaverasslim Which one - DeZevala, 1604 & 281, other? I wouldn't mind for some things, though I still like to support either the local Mom & Pops or a place like Grafs that is truly pro-gun.

    Why did Daly let Appeal go to Supreme Court?

    Leadcounsel said: Here's a quote from the single best article I've ever read concerning this subject: "Make no mistake: all politicians—even those ostensibly on the side of guns and gun ownership—hate the issue and anyone, like me, who insists on bringing it up. They hate it because it's...

    Have any Federal laws fallen since Heller?

    I quite agree. The Hughes (may that SOB rot in Hell) amendment to FOPA (Title 18, Section 922(o) of the US Code) bans an entire class of weapons (post-5/18/86 full autos) for civilian ownership. These are not inherently dangerous weapons, not when a functionally-identical weapon manufactured a...

    Perfect conditions for an "oopsie!"

    Thanks. You cannot be too safe. You might want to bring the 442 to a 'smith and have it looked at - there's no reason why all of the rounds shouldn't eject at the same time, unfailingly. I have a 442, and have never had that problem (nor with any other revolver. I just swing the cylinder...

    Hmmm, I wonder what else one of these could make?

    2A has been incorporated

    As pointed out, this is a federal court. But something else to consider is that there can be judges from any of the states within a circuit appointed to the Circuit Court. Thus, for example, there could be a Montana judge deciding cases that arise in CA. IOW, it cuts both ways. I think...

    Range Scrounge Brass...to keep or not to keep?

    About $0.85/lb. Fill up a 5-gallon bucket and you've got a nice amount of money from the recycler. Of course, using this brass for its intended use (if possible) is far more valuable.

    A wife says "So what is different about THIS gun?"

    A few thoughts: We each have money that we can spend on whatever. Every time I question a purchase of hers, I get "its my money and I'll spend it as I want to." OK, but that's a 2-way street, and I've told her as much on a couple of occasions. She's more calm about it. When she isn't...

    Past (AMMO Shortage) events in history?

    Not THAT old - any penny minted pre-1982 is 95% copper, 5% zinc by weight. Many of the 1982 cents are also 95% copper, but the change occurred during the year and it is simply easier to separate the pre-'82 cents from the newer ones. The Memorial-backed cents were made by the billions from...

    Are Antis Enemies

    I'll go with all of those who divide the antis into 2 main camps. I like to call those camps the "Vanguard of the Proletariat" and the "Useful Idiots," respectively. The Vanguard IS your enemy. They know all about guns, they just don't want YOU to have any (or me, or anyone who is or may...

    WW II 30-06 Ball Ammo

    Note that if the bullets are black-tipped (i.e. AP), then save as much as you can (maybe shoot a few at a large tree to see what it can do). The AP is becoming more and more scarce.

    Assault Weapons Ban Legal?

    Yes, but the gun IS the weapon, not the flash hider, bayonet lug, etc. Where's their authority to ban non-guns? Can they ban forks? My point is that once the gun itself is not subject to being banned under the 2nd, it is at best silly to discuss banning its accessories.

    Assault Weapons Ban Legal?

    I believe that someone would attempt to obtain an injunction forbidding enforcement until the matter is sorted out.

    If we get a Heller-esque opinion, that incorporates could we see.....................

    Agreed. I'm a lawyer, though not a litigator. I shudder at the thought of preparing and conducting a trial - and I have some legal knowledge as a base, and could build on it fairly quickly. Nope, amateurs shouldn't bring cases. It is like trying to build a car from the ground up...

    Whats the real reason Class III is so expensive?

    I thought that the purchase of replacement parts for full autos was allowed, so long as the original is actually destroyed (so as not to increase supply). What say any of you knowledgable about this?

    Pre-owned Stockpiles

    I moved from NJ to TX several years ago. All of my ammo, guns and accessories came with me, in the minivan. We're talking probably 800 pounds. Plus other things. I got 21 MPG in a vehicle that normally does 23 on the highway. I don't see people selling ammo - I wouldn't, and 10 extra...

    upgraded my M1As

    How much did that Sage system cost? I love the idea of the rails to mount a scope and other fun things much more easily.

    Pmags at big box sporting goods stores?

    At Brownell's the 30-rounders are $20 retail, $16 for dealers (you only need a C&R license for $30/3 years, with the Brownell's and Midway catalogs being two of the best reasons to get one). The 20's are $15 retail, $12.50 to dealers. They have them. Midway is a bit cheaper, but they're out...

    I was Outed today for the first time...

    I have a story, but not directly about me being "outed" or "made." When I first got my CHL I started wearing shirts untucked. Regular shirts, not T-shirts. SWMBO complained that I looked like a slob, etc. I told her that I had to conceal, and that to do so you need a loose-fitting shirt...
