    The madness in Great Britain just won't stop.....

    Some will stop at nothing to protect us from ourselves. I think this is particularly interesting in light of the possible ban on importation of certain knives that was discussed in another thread. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article6501720.ece

    Gun-wielding samaritan

    You don't see these stories enough, although I suspect guns are used all the time to STOP violence. amazing that neither did the gun jump out of his hands and kill the robber, nor did the robber take the gun and use it against the owner. strange. link to the story...

    New way to control guns...

    For those of you who think that the liberals have forgotten about gun control, one of the more influential liberals out there is encouraging new insidious ways to keep the average person from being able to purchase firearms.

    What should I look for when choosing a Garand?

    I'll be going to the south store this friday to choose a garand. I was hoping that the good people here at THR would share some of their considerable knowledge with me about how they chose their garands. I know that they are separated into general groups based on muzzle wear, throat erosion...

    Service vs. correct grade Garand: difference in accuracy?

    Is there a difference in accuracy between a correct grade vs. service grade Garand from CMP? In reading through past posts, some posters report 3-4 MOA, and others say you can get 1 MOA by accuratizing. Other posters mention getting about 2 MOA without accuratizing. What's the scoop, and does...

    Talk me out of buying a correct grade Garand

    I've read through many of the previous Garand threads and want to say thanks to all for the great information provided. I am going to go through CMP to purchase a Garand based on the overwhelming majority who recommend this. The consensus also seems to be to buy a service grade if you are...

    Places off-limits for CCW in Alabama

    Ok, I've searched the threads and feel I understand where I can and cannot carry in Alabama. The law appears to restrict only carrying while either in a public demonstration or within 1000 ft of a demonstration. Also, you cannot carry in K-12 with intent to do harm, but LEOs and permit holders...

    This is a great blog to show any gun control advocate

    I have found that most gun control advocates take the stance that guns are bad because they only see them used in evil ways. This makes it difficult for the average person to do a useful cost-benefit analysis of gun control. Arguments using constitutional rights or lots of statistics do not...

    An example from the UK that criminals do not follow gun control laws

    Found this article in the British newspaper Daily Mail. A man's home was broken into, his family threatened, and he decided to fight back. This is a perfect example that people who break the law by attempting to harm your family and steal your property do not have any problem with breaking the...
