Where can I find information about the knife laws in Germany?

I'm seriously considering picking up a 44 Mag and so I'd like to start a discussion about which of these choices would be best for use as protection while in the woods (non-hunting). Feel free to comment on why you believe one or the other is a better choice, or perhaps why one is a worse...

Looking for quality holsters for my S&W 686P 4" barrel. Must be of the concealment type (IWB or another type). Any suggestions? Thanks.

I just watched Senator Kennedy on C-SPAN2 channel. He wants to ban all ammunition that can penetrate soft body armor (Level IIIA and below). This includes most common rifle cartridges like the .270, .30-30, .308, etc... The scary thing is how he tries to call these "armor piercing...

Again I put up a new target, and with my rifle all sighted in, I successfully shot about 9 rounds through the X and the 10 rings. Here's the pic:

So after the all-clear, I went out and changed to a fresh target. I started out and shot about 3 rounds at the same spot as the previous target (high and to the right). So I started with the adjustment on the scope, and I clicked it over about 10 clicks to the left, and then about 20 more...

Well, I'm slightly less of a "new" rifle shooter now....I went to the range for about 4 hours and shot my rifle. I started out by getting setup with my sandbags. They had a wooden box with 1 sandbag, so I put the front of the rifle on top of that. For the stock of the rifle I got 3...

I read the directions from the scope manual, and they instructed me to do this same thing. But since I don't have a rifle rest, it's really difficult for me to hold the rifle still after looking through the bore and comparing to the sight from the scope... Yep, I am a total rifle newbie...

One thing I am concerned about is that I don't want to just adjust the scope to compensate for bad shooting... Isn't there a way to just get the rifle and the scope completely CENTERED? And then if my shots are off then I KNOW it's my fault.....not just a misadjusted scope. Get my point?

Confession of a new rifle shooter (updated w/ range report!) I have a new rifle-- a Browning A-Bolt Composite Stalker: I had the guy at the gunshop mount a $300 LEUPOLD scope on it. He claims that he sighted it in for me, but I don't believe him. It's chambered in .270, so it's about...

That's an interesting point. My thoughts are that the default position should be that the 2nd Amendment guarantees the right of private citizens to own firearms, and that the burden of proof should be on the person who believes otherwise. How does it make any sense whatsoever to maintain a...

Okay then, how about changing the statement to: The Second Amendment guarantees the right of private citizens to own firearms. T or F?

Are there any historical sources that show the "original form passed in 1792"? And, are there any references on just exactly how this text was changed? Thanks.

Just to follow up here, all the answers (from that quiz I posted) are false, according to the professor. He seems to be right on target (except for #9).

That's an interesting way to proceed. I suppose the Supreme Court has the final say as to the specific meaning of the 2nd Amendment. I'll certainly ask him to cite me the case# of any SC decision on the matter. My first idea was to ask him what he thought is the meaning of "well regulated...

Went to my first day of Political Science/American Government at College. Professor is an interesting fellow. He came to class with a full suit, and with a bright blue cap and a pony tail sticking out the back. Later on he said "Don't judge things by the cover" and he took off the hat and the...

So, I need to just follow up a bit here, and make sure I have things clarified. I understand that I can use the bore brush from my 9mm SIG P226 to clean the bore of my S&W 686. But can I also use this to clean the cylinders of my S&W 686? Also, is it ok to insert the bore brush from the...

I do not know the answer to this question. Several months in the chamber. Commercial load. Using BreakFree CLP exclusively on all parts, and wiped dry with clean patches. Yes, I tried to fire the primer a total of 2 times. Both failed. It was premium ammo. Federal...

Happened for the first time ever. I keep my SIG P226 well cleaned and loaded with 10+1 in a handgunsafe, which contains two sorb-it pads, an extra loaded magazine, and my loaded S&W 686P. I brought the entire safe like that to the local outdoor gun range, without opening or changing the...

Would it be okay to clean my S&W 686 with the cleaning kit I got for my 9mm SIG P226? I think the bore brush should be basically the same size for both calibers right?
