    145 CEO's Send Letter to Congress Demanding Action on Gun Control

    The media would have you believe this is a big deal. Look at the list of the companies. Most are dinky little companies located in gun control bastions like the Bay area. It read like the Chamber of Commerce list for a medium size city in California. Without looking, could most anyone tell you...

    .257 B.B. Magnum?

    I stumbled across an interesting wildcat while perusing a gun auction listing. It is the .257 B.B. Magnum. According to the auction listing, it is a .257 bullet in a necked down .300 Win Mag brass. Given that, it should be a screamer. I have searched for more info but I've not found anything...

    Virginia Drops Reciprocity With Tennessee

    I was just about to make a comment about Bristol VA/TN and Intune beat me to it. Can you imagine walking down Main Street and being legal on one side of the street and not the other? Too bad we don't have national reciprocity!

    Owner of broken rifle surrenders for 30-month sentence

    All I would say with regard to the affidavit is to remember just who submitted it. It was submitted by the ATF agent. Therefore, we MUST believe each and every word within it. It isn't like a Federal law enforcement officer would lie, plant evidence, or other assorted misdeeds. Or you can be...

    First AK: 7.62x39 or 5.45x39?

    I've decided that I "need" (OK, want) an AK. Now the hard work begins. Which AK and in what caliber? An AK in 7.62x39 would give me more choices as to models and features from what I can see. However, the ammo is more expensive and is getting more expensive. Mags are more plentiful, have more...

    Trouble seeing sights clearly

    I am shooting for both fun and unexpected serious events. I just ordered the Lyman Hawkeye diopter that sticks on my shooting glasses. If I like it, I may move up to the adjustable Merit Corp. diopter. However, both would be shooting for fun trying to have small groups. I have tried seeing...

    Trouble seeing sights clearly

    While I still have 20/20 vision for distance, I can't read without glasses anymore. I also can't see my front sight that well. My arms just aren't long enough.:mad: I know there are a lot of sights that are good for "old" eyes like mine. I use some and they are good. However, I still can't...

    Is the Browning Hi-Power still relevant?

    I think it is highly relevant. I just got my first "real" HP - a 1970 Belgian Browning this week. I also have a Charles Daly HP and both are good. I plan to carry my Belgian beauty in a Roy's Pancake leather holster. Some would consider that doubly irrelevant but I don't. John

    ATF - "Always Think Forfeiture"

    Let's start again looking at this. First off, it is not a hack-job. It is the real thing. Those who think the bidding ended on Nov. 23, 2000 have misunderstood the solicitation. If you read further, it is saying that they want it delivered NLT or no later than Nov. 23rd. And that they want 2000...

    Audio/Video recording of Heller available?

    Yep! Michael Bane has downloadable MP3's available broken down by DC, the SG, and Alan Gura. He also has comments by John Lott. http://www.downrange.tv/rkba/dc-v-heller.htm They said they'd have these on iTunes later today. John

    University of Arizona Police Dept's Answer to mass shootings...

    Jeez! You'd think the University of Arizona might support a local company like say, Cav Arms! Oh, well, if they aren't going to buy them from Cav Arms they are at least buying from a company in which I hold stock, S&W.

    Senate Bill 1200 - Serial Numbers for all Ammo in Missouri

    This is just the latest in an attempt to introduce this in legislatures around the country. When you have Mississippi, Arizona, PA, and CT along with Missouri all introducing a virtually identical bill, there is foul play afoot. Fortunately, Dustin of Dustin's Gun Blog did some digging and...

    CCW poll in Chicago needs your vote

    Just hit it: The NIU shooting makes me think... That we should make it still harder to get a gun. 29680 57.5% That maybe Illinois should be a concealed carry state. 21874 42.4% That our law shouldn't change. 72 0.1% Number of Voters : 51626 First Vote : Friday...

    Novel Recommendations

    A couple of names come to mind. First, Alan Furst who writes some of the best pre-WWII spy novels around. Usually centered around either Paris or Eastern Europe, he weaves guns like the Polish Radom and the Steyr Hahn into his stories. I don't anyone can touch him in creating that film noir feel...

    Florida: Student arrested for cutting food with knife

    Has anyone gotten a reply from the Principal or any of the other school administrators? They may be stupid but not so stupid as to not know how to set up a "kill file" for email they don't want to read. John

    Jeff Quinn reviews the .327

    The problem, as I see it, with this round right now is the cost of the ammo. Midway USA offers both the Federal 85 gr. HydroShok and the American Eagle 100 gr. (or will be offering them). For 20 round - not the usual 50 round handgun boxes - they will be charging $19.95 and $24.95 respectively...

    Academics for the Second Amendment

    This is a group of law professors, historians, and other academics who support the Second Amendment as an individual right. Given that the DC Circuit Court made lots of references to the firearms history in early America, these folks should be able to provide even more valuable support for our...

    Moving to North Carolina

    North Carolina *is* a shall issue state. For the most part it is a gun-friendly state. I'd avoid Durham County as it does have some vestige of gun registration from the 1930s. The gun friendliness does vary a bit by county and by sheriff. The sheriff is the one who issues the CCW and in...
