Well, I think he's FOS because an assault weapon is generally considered as something capable of firing full auto and/or having a mag capacity of whatever... Fercrisake, an M1 Carbine with a 30 round clip and bayonet lug is considered an assault weapon...go figure... Basically, I guess any...

No, cropcirclewalker (is that what your mother actually named you?), we're simply following the law of the land. That's what having and keeping an FFL means. Don't like the law? You can break it or change it. Up to you. FWIW, I think liability lawsuits against the gun industry are absurd...

"loaded with a .357magnum and rat shot combo alternating every other round (I Hate Snakes)" - I like it!

Exactly, Art! But if the gun laws that exist don't work for the benefit of the good guys doesn't that mean that we, who sell guns, should be more responsible about what we do? And, again, isn't that why us good guys need our guns? Obviously, most bad guys are going to be able get what they...

Thanks, telomerase. Good points. But doesn't it also raise the question of where someone thinks they're coming from if they know they're legally ineligible to purchase a gun but they try to anyway? Do they think the system is stupid and it doesn't work and they'll just have slipped through the...

I carry a loaded, nickel plated 2in Smith Model 19, in a Safariland shoulder holster (with the muzzle end up), with two speed loaders in the pocket of my suit, jacket or overcoat, depending on circumstance, everytime I leave the house. Most of the time it's so comfortable I don't even know I'm...

I don't know if some of you are over reacting to the questions I've posed out of some sense of over sensitivity but, in looking back at what I'd already written, I don't see that I ever said anything about anyone's race, which seems to be the issue that many of you are raising. Having been born...

Thanks, Saturnine, for being able to appreciate where I'm coming from instead of presuming that analogous examples are any indication of some kind of elitist bigotry going on. Some people are maybe just a little too keen to jump to conclusions based on some sense of defensive personal...

What's clear to me about the second amendment is that it was written at a time when government could ill afford to equip a standing military and most of the country was still a wild frontier waiting to be tamed. But anyone who suggests that the job's done, we're a civilised society and we can...

I actually happen to work in a gun shop so I see the application of local gun laws everyday. Aside from standard legal procedures we have our own shop policies. We ask for ID before we show any gun because we're not inclined to waste our time on someone who isn't eligible to buy. We're...

Thanks, PX15; what you say makes a lot of sense. But I'm not sure if I'm looking for reassurance. It's mainly that I have little sense of the value of these and somehow I thought the "historical" value of this one might add to it's value and desireability. Obviously not, from what you say...and...

Well then, Thanks guys. Well, I don't want to "shop" out of state because of the extra cost and hassle. This gun's right here and there's nothing "dark" about it's history. From what I saw it appeared to have all the markings, the cogwheel, the Berlin sunburst, to indicate that it was...

Those are historically important photos and they definately belong in the care of a museum. Thanks for sharing them with us. FWIW, I lost family in the Warsaw Ghetto where the uprising in 1943 kept the SS at bay for nearly a month. Of course, if they'd been better equipped they coulda, woulda...

Looks like... Definately an M&P or a Victory model with the 5 inch barrel...? Sure looks like a lanyard ring to me...

I have the chance to buy a Manurhin P-1, the French made (but with German parts) post-war version of the Walther P-38. My love of guns has always come, largely, from my sense of and appreciation for the unique designs. Especially the classics, like the P-38 and I've fancied having one of my...

BTW... Isn't that the beauty of the revolver? It's almost organic in how it becomes an extension of your arm whereas an auto feels like you're holding a machine. Kinda like the differance between driving a Porsche 911 and a Ford Explorer...;) Sorry. Didn't mean to get off topic. I'm still...

No firearm feels better balanced or more natural to my hand than my 19; and, BTW, with the ambidextrous grips it feels right at home in either hand...
