    Rossi/Braztech duo set

    I had one of these, in 20/.223. My first gun. It was a lot of fun, although when I started with higher volume shooting I found that the shells tended to stick in the chamber when is got a bit heated up. Fun toys though, especially for the price.

    Kid's access to firearms

    It depends. On the kid, on the kid's friends, on the community/neighborhood/culture.

    Are LCP's in a store near you

    Guy I met at the range on Sunday had waited three weeks for his. He wasn't impressed either. Couldn't get through a mag without a jam of some kind.

    Do you ever deliberately avoid THR topics?

    I only read mental health related threads if I'm in a good mood. I only read "what gun for da lil' lady" threads when I'm in a bad mood, 'cause chances are I will be soon anyway. I don't bother with AR threads. And never with "I did X, what would you do?" It gets really old reading...

    though of something as i was unloading the truck after shooting today

    I'm pretty open about it. We're in a nice neighborhood with friendly people, and people do look out for each other. Burglaries are very, very rare here, because the neighborhood is so age-diverse: there are always people out and about and keeping an eye. No overconfidence, but an informed...

    16 or 20 gage shotgun for wife?

    Please try out some guns other than the 870. I can shoot my Benelli all day, but an 870 kicks the heck out of me. It's about fit. Personally, I suspect that with many women, it's also about balance. I'm not sure how or why, but I know several women shooters who enjoy shooting Benellis or...

    Guns got taken away!

    The head of the household has a right and need to know and control what's going on in his house. The dynamics of the relationship between your relatives are not really relevant. What you need to do with the Bersa is hand it over to your father and ask if it can stay in the home. Odds are...

    Worst injuries\days at the range?

    All these stale and paper cut injuries! I've thus far been able to avoid the hazards of staple guns and paper targets. I have gotten pretty dehydrated on a hot day. But sadly, the past couple of months, powder fumes and cigarette smoke have given me a lot of asthma problems when shooting.

    Specific laws - mental health and guns

    There are lots and lots of laws. Most are state laws. Some are very general, some are very specific as to illness, treatment, and restrictions. Concealed carry statutes usually have a provision pertaining to mental illness and many are quite restrictive, even absent...

    Country Singer Miranda Lambert mentions Concealed Carry in Parade magazine

    that actually occurred to me, but wouldn't that be more of a THUD?

    Country Singer Miranda Lambert mentions Concealed Carry in Parade magazine

    only problem is at the very end, after the gunshot, is the distinctive sound of brass hitting the floor. it works well in the song, but a little disconcerting in a song about a shotgun.

    Do you own a .22?

    Got both, they are essential, especially because of the cost of centerfire. But, the first handgun I ever fired was a friends .357mag Blackhawk. Loved it, don't regret it a minute. I guess maybe I handled it ok because I'd been shooting 12 gauge in trap for a while, but some people just...

    Paper abstract; mental illness and gun laws

    Well, I've completed the paper. It is partly a legal analysis of the fourteenth amendment, partly a discussion of psychological literature on mental illness and violence, and partly a indictment of the gun and mental health communities for doing nothing to better the situation. I've been ill...

    Concealed Carry on Campus

    This could veer off topic here, but I gotta disagree with you on this. College students who aren't funded by parents or other family are often very poor. Schools may limit the number of hours one is allowed to work for pay. School requires lots of hours of unpaid work. School strongly...

    Concealed Carry on Campus

    Isn't it pretty un-American to propose punishing millions of other people because of your poor choices when you were in college? Oh, and yeah, 29, college student. Nice to meet you. :)

    The gun ban debate.

    I think it is a lot more complicated than that. It is very, very difficult to assess actual suicidal intent. A lot of failed suicide attempts are not actual attempts but try-outs or practice or asking for help non-verbally. These seem to be more common among women. Male suicide attempts may...

    Shotgun for my wife.

    Several women at my range have noticed that they find Benellis and Berettas tend to fit them a little better than Mossbergs or Remingtons. They seem to be weighted a little differently in a way that works for more women. I use a 12 gauge Benelli Montefeltro and enjoy it immensely. Most of...
