Sorry if this is OT, maybe it belongs in S&T or Legal, or a different forum... but I figure that, by the time it gets locked, I'll have made up my mind one way or the other. About half an hour ago, I was woken up from a not-so-sound sleep by the unmusical cries of wailing children and...

If this question has been asked, I apologize, but I didn't see anything about this when searching. Also, if this belongs more in S&T, feel free to move it; I just thought my main question was more legal than S&T. I have a somewhat tenuous plan to move in the near future (could be weeks away...

Let me begin by stating that I am well and truly drunk. Gloriously drunk. Keeping that in mind, I'd like to bring up an interest of mine. What-all do you folks know about armored cars? Or armoring a car? Long ago, when still a boy, I promised myself that one day, if I had the scratch...

"Et tu, Brute? Then fall, Caesar." On this day, 15 March in 44 b.c, Julius Caesar fell before the knives of his Senate, who betrayed and murdered him. His supposed last words, as told in Shakespeare's play and quoted above ("Then fall, Caesar" doubtless being The Bard's addition), were to...

I apologize if these are particularly stupid questions, or if they've been asked before. I did a search on the subject, came up empty. The first question: Is there or has there been a lever gun that shoots semi-auto pistol cartridges? I ask because I recently saw a movie (the new Resident...

Sunday, my friend and I packed up some guns and drove upcountry to do some shooting. Our intended range was an abandoned rock quarry, where we'd been before and where many locals go to shoot. Unfortunately, we found that the forestry service locks the gate this time of year, despite the lack...

I'm currently taking a Criminal Justice class about Terrorism at my college. It's not my major, but somehow it qualifies as a General Education class. The class discusses the history of terrorism, the various international and domestic terrorist groups at large today, and goes a little bit...

There's this TV show on USA, called "Burn Notice". Not a bad show, all things considered, and more gun-friendly than most, as far as that goes. Unlike most shows of the spy-genre, this one isn't afraid to get a little technical. Of course, when this happens, there's no guarantee that the...

I'm trying to broaden my defensive options into the "armed, non-lethal" range. I'm currently going to a CSU (California State University). Even if I had a CCW (which I don't, although I'm trying to rectify that), I couldn't carry on university grounds. Nor can I carry a knife (non-assisted...

I would very much like to buy an AR-15, but, alas, I am a Californian... Looking at my options, I've come up with two choices that fit, more or less, the overall profile of what I want. Basically, I want something as close to the functionality of an AR-15 as I can get: A .223 rifle with the...

I've been thinking about getting a Fallkniven Garm g1 neck knife. It looks heavy/bulky for a neck knife, but I'm not too worried about that. Mainly, I hear that they're very good knives, made from very good steel. Anybody have any experience with Fallkniven? Here's a pic w/ description...
