    Import Ban

    Any chance McDonald will affect the import ban, or are there any pending challenges to that? You can say what you want about the Chinese, but I'd love to see a parade of half-decent, $199 AK's coming soon to a store near you, not to mention all the other fun stuff out there!

    My activism concept: TakeMeShooting.org

    Hi All, After a somewhat frustrating debate with a good (and highly intelligent) friend that ended in the old anti standby: "but you don't really need and AK-47" I got to thinking about an actionable, grassroots and apolitical way to change attitudes about firearms. Voting and writing letters...

    Working in some "bad" places, would like training advice

    I'm going to be travelling to some "bad" places for work in the coming months. Libya, Angola and Nigeria are on the list and while I've travelled and worked abroad quite a bit, this will be my first time in places with, shall we say, an ill repute. I'll have a bodyguard in the nasty ones (he...

    What kind of Russian rifle is this?

    I saw this in the WSJ in an article about the Russian advances in Georgia. Looks like some type of sniper rifle with integral supressor. Anyone know what this is and where to see more information: Caption of the pic is: TROOP PRESENCE: Georgians in blindfolds sit on a Russian armored...

    How long should you keep carry ammo?

    I have some Cor Bon carry ammo that's about 10 years old. I've shot target ammo of a similar vintage with no problems whatsoever but am wondering if there is some "shelf life" that should be followed with carry ammo. Thanks!

    Heller and Machineguns

    I read the transcript of oral arguements for Heller and found it very intersting. I'm not a legal scholar or SCOTUS follower, but it was largely eminently readable. What surprised me was the frequent mention of machine guns, and that "our side" basically said they supported reasonable...

    Good WSJ Article - Gun owners richer and happier than non-gun owners

    Did a search and did not see this posted. Trigger Happy By ARTHUR C. BROOKS April 19, 2008; Page A10 In words that he has come to regret, Barack Obama opined as to why he was having a hard time winning over many blue-collar voters: "They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or...

    Safe in the garage

    I live in an area without basements with an MBR on the second floor with little room for a safe. There is also no room for a safe on the ground floor and it is crawlspace construction so not much benefit. Garage is concrete slab and fitted with an alarm so I am thinking of putting a safe +...

    Guns and Gays: Similar core issue on different sides of the aisle?

    I was thinking while sitting in traffic that gun rights and gay rights have similar foundational issues. Before your head explodes, hear me out (no, I am not gay). Both pro sides have fair factual arguments, and also to a large extent are a lifestyle choice. Owning a gun does not turn someone...

    Executive Orders and AWB

    I don't quite understand how EO's are implemented, or what criteria are required for the president to issue an EO versus creating a law through the normal process and therefore have a few questions: 1) I keep hearing presidental candidates asked if they would "reauthorize the AWB." This...

    The $5,000 question

    Let's say you had some inside knowledge and knew some form of an AWB would be passed in early 2009. This ban is as or more restrictive than the recently sunsetted one. You have $5,000 to spend on firearms and accessories between now and early 2009, what would you buy based on these...

    Help with jammed brass in Marlin Model 1936 30-30 Lever Action

    Hi All, I have a Marlin Model 1936 my grandfather gave me several years ago. About two years ago I gave it a good cleaning an oiling and took it to the range. After about 4-5, after firing the lever would not operate. I have no manual or anything for the rifle, and removed the lever in an...
