These are all great resources, and I use them myself (especially handgunlaw.us) BUT ... they are not the actual source of what the law is. If at all possible, in addition to checking handgunlaw.us, I would go to the website for the state police and/or state government for the places you'll be...

If you're going to capitalize it, Rifleman vs rifleman, then start with some of the Rifleman definitions that are out there. The ones that come to my mind are the ones by Fred and the Revolutionary War Veterans Association (RWVA) who are the people who conduct Appleseed shooting events across...

Sounds sensible to me. I wasn't caught totally unprepared in 2008, I did have time to see the vice jaws closing down and bought more reloading supplies. I didn't see Sandy Hook coming, and actually I didn't see Nov. 6th 2012 going the way it did either. However, I remembered 2008 well...

I miss the good old days, when worrying about black helicopters was a sign of nuttiness, not a sign of paying attention.

check out "Armed Response" video series (I think that's what it's called) They have a shoot/don't shoot video. There will be 2-4 versions of a scenario played out with actors, each with different behaviors at different points. After each scene a guy cuts in to talk about what you should have...

I'd give Widener's the benefit of the doubt, especially since they have that notice up on their site about things being slow due to high volume. I've ordered a number of things from them over the years, and have always found them to be honest and sent me what I ordered in a reasonable time. It...

I have used the NRA-ILA's tool once a week for the past 2 weeks to email my Rep and my Senators. I also wrote my own letter and faxed it to all 3. I've tried calling and find that discouraging, as most of them (two of them are anti-gun Democrats) don't appear interested in phone calls and...

Just hit it, 65 votes for yes (1.5%) and 4232 no votes (don't reinstitute AWB) or 98.2% The senior senator ******bag from Florida will still disregard it but at least we voted.

When liberals talk about how evil 30 round "assault clips" are, I like to say "sounds like you've made a good argument for taking them away from the police and the .gov"!

I've been at two matches where there were NDs, both resulting in injury to the shooter. The first one happened right in front of me, and was a case of the shooter making a procedural error, brain-freezing in agony over the mistake, and attempting to reholster very fast (with finger still on...

only .gov 'workers' get Veterans Day off. I worked as I have the last 15 Veteran's Days. USN 1987-1995

The NRA Personal Protection Inside the Home class is a handgun class rather than a shotgun class. That might seem odd, given the popularity and suitability of shotguns for HD, but there are a few reasons that's the case. So, the only NRA class I know of that would cover shotguns is Basic...

I take issue with the people who say "why would you need a gun at Thansgiving" or "just put the gun away and let it go". I suppose you'd do the same thing if your parents had an irrational fear of seat belts, or of fire extinguishers, or any other piece of safety equipment? When was the last...

Lot of good commentary here. My two cents: You should respect your parents' wishes in their house. They should respect you, including your human right to self-defense. They are entitled to their opinion, but frankly, their opinion is an illegitimate one born of ignorance and fear. You must...

If you can do that, then keep doing it. At our club with about 80 or so shooters per match, I don't think I've ever seen the SSR/ESR scores really come close to ESP/SSP. That may be skewed a bit because we only have a couple of revolver shooters and we have several Master and a number of...

If you want an idea of the relative effectiveness of revolvers vs semi-autos, go shoot an IDPA or IPSC match and look at the scores. An Expert wheelgunner can usually up with the scores posted by Novice semi-auto people (and usually then they're running moonclipped revolvers). In the hands of...

I used to obsess about the full boxes etc. After I upgraded to a progressive press though, I started making a lot more ammo and for the handgun stuff I don't even bother with boxes anymore, just use ziplock bags and keep those in an ammo can. I was running out of room trying to keep them in...

Exactly as stated here, it shouldn't matter, but it can. Another way to look at it, as it was explained to me in MAG-40 (Massad Ayoob's level I class), is as follows. If you do defend yourself with a weapon, and perhaps it's not totally clear that it was self-defense, you may face manslaughter...

Hello Dan, I'm very sorry for your loss. Some things are truly out of our hands and we can't change them. I hope you can take solace in the 43 years of good times you had together, remember those times, and be thankful to God for all of those good times. And welcome back.

If you're leaning towards a Saiga, also then check out the VEPR 308 rifles. AK action made in Russia I think. AIM Surplus had them/has them for about $1k each. The magazines are probably proprietary. Kind of looks like a wooden thumbhole-stocked Saiga, sort of, in a good way. I wouldn't mind...
