I have an elderly gentleman friend (around 65) that is looking for a home (apt. actually) defense weapon. He is definitely not a gun guy. I doubt that he has ever shot a gun and if he has it was a very long time ago. He is asking me for advice on what to get and I was originally thinking...

A friend of mine had some guns that were left in a safe that had some water in it. Of course, the guns suffered somewhat. He gave them to me. I would like to either trade them or sell them but I really don't know what they would be worth. The top gun is a Franchi Veloce. The barrels are...

I recently was given this Smith and Wesson. It had been left in a safe that had water in it due to a flood. It was in a leather holster and there was the resulting rust. The internal part of the cylinder and the bore seem to be in good condition. Can I shoot this? A friend wants to use it...

I have a couple of rifles and shotguns that I recently had given to me. They were in safe that had been in a flood. They forgot to clean the safe out. So now, the guns all have surface rust on them and most of them are stuck - as in the semi auto shotguns cannot be checked or cleared, the...

There seems to be 2 main camps. I am sure someone will correct me if there are more. By toy guns I am referring to things like the nerf guns or pop guns. First, you teach your kids that all guns are "real" and "loaded." Thus, it is inappropriate to point even toy guns at other people...

Last night, I had just gotten into bed and was looking forward to a full 8 hours for a change when I heard a woman screaming. It was not a playful type scream, it was a "somebody is trying to kill me" type scream. I decided to investigate as that seemed to be the reasonable and prudent thing...

A couple of years ago, I ordered a kit knife. I did my own scales out of deer antler. I wanted an every day carry knife for misc small jobs. I really like the knife and how it carries but there are a few problems. 1. The thumb stud is not very ergonomic. I can open it one handed but it...

It is from sweat. I mow lawns for a living and the conditions are less than perfect. I really like the 637 because I can forget that it is there - it is so light and comfortable. But the aluminum is no match for sweat - the kind of sweat where you are dripping all day. I put on some oil...

I mow lawns for a living. I like the work but it kind of lends it's self to being extremely sweaty and dirty. I also carry at work. My 637 goes unnoticed for most of the day in the appendix position. The problem is that I sweat a lot - drinking several gallons of water per day kind of...

... and I needed to open a P.O. box. They need to see ID of course - a drivers license and something else - not a credit card or a SS card. Well, we all know that carrying a gun in the post office is illegal and so I had dutifully left my gun in the truck. Well, I had two other options...

Now that I have my geography figured out, I will be traveling through Iowa tomorrow. I have an Oklahoma CCW. Iowa doesn't recognize it. How can I transport legally through Iowa? Thanks for the help.

I have my CCW in Oklahoma and am traveling to Minnesota tomorrow. I have to go through Indiana. I know that the Oklahoma license does not have reciprocity in Indiana. What is the legal way to transport a handgun in that state? Thanks for your help. This site has been particularly...

I am looking for a gun for CC. I like the Glocks and the M&P and the XD's but I don't like the light trigger pull for a CCW. So I have found the HK P2000 V3 and like the decocker. The gun feels like it belongs in my hand. I also tried the Walther P99c and was impressed. It had that handy...

Well, I am not brand new but I am certainly no seasoned expert either. I recently purchased a Smith 637 - my intended CCW piece and went out to a family members acreage to have a little fun. I also brought the Ruger 22/45 and my uncle brought out his G21. My wife had here 442 as well...

Oklahoma law states that business owners have the right to prohibit the possession of weapons on their property. However, the law (Oklahoma Self Defense Act) does not state how the business owners are to inform me of the policy. Furthermore, it does not state what the penalties for violating...
