Anybody know what's happened to the Texas CHL forum? All I'm getting is a "join the NRA" page.

Classic Arms has a hard-chromed AK-47 for sale, a Yugo M70 B2 underfolder. It's about $90 more than the unchromed model. My question is, aside from appearance, is the hard chrome a good idea? Does it percent rust, increase durability, or what? If it just makes the gun look cool, I'm not...

I don't have one yet, but I plan to happily jump into the AK addiction with both feet. I'm sure my question is common, but I'll ask it anyway: What's the best quality AK for the money? I'm not in a situation where building my own is possible, so that option is off the table. I also...

(This is an expansion on a response to another thread.) The gun culture is dying? The antis are winning? There are fewer shooters, and they're all ready for Social Security? Give me a major break. Don't think so. Time was when no one but a cop could carry in Texas, or in almost any...

I just keep wondering... In all this talk about the end of the 2A and blanket gun confiscations--who is going to enforce this, and how are they going to do it? How many gun owners are there in the US? Okay, now how many cops? And just how many of those cops are going to support this...

Here's a great column by Larry Elder in Human Events: Do "Gun-Free" Zones Encourage School Shootings? by Larry Elder Posted: 10/18/2007 http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=22911 Here are a few excerpts: "Do shooters consider schools "gun-free zones"? Do they consider it...

Next to the genuine article, what is the best Colt SAA replica? And does anybody make one chambered for .44 Special? Thanks.

Take a moment to read about a genuine American hero. http://www.navytimes.com/news/2007/10/navy_seal_moh_071011w/

There used to be a guy at the Dallas gun show that sold rubber band guns, all kinds. Pistols, rifles, even double-barrelled shotguns and submachine guns, all rubber-band guns made from wood. He had an enormous wooden rubber-band Gatling gun that looked like it would take about three hours to...

During a bout of ill fortune some years ago--divorce, unemployment, illness, you don't want to know--my once-extensive gun collection slipped out of my grasp. I sometimes daydream about the great guns I once owned but probably never will again. Anybody else have regrets like this? Here are my...

Aren't they already dead?

While Googling around the Net looking for Second Amenment articles, I ran across a review of "To Keep and Bear Arms: The Origins of an Anglo-American Right", By Joyce Lee Malcolm. (Cambridge: Harvard University Press. 1994) by Dave Kopel...

This may have been posted before, but even if it has, it bears repeating. It may be the best single piece of writing on defensive firearms I've ever read. http://www.americanhandgunner.com/GunCrank2.html Be prepared to sit down and think about it for a while.

I need to find an instructor who will do a one-on-one CHL class for me here where I live (Galleria area, LBJ & Tollway). It would have to be spread over several sessions, preferably early mornings (7-9 AM) or early afternoons (1-3 PM) or late at night (after 9 PM). I don't mind if the sessions...

I understand that anti-gunners sometimes lurk here in hopes of finding material to support their "cause". I rather suspect that this thread won't be getting copied for that reason. If any anti-gunners are reading this--here's a simple, straightforward question: Why do you find it necessary...

An excellent article from the current issue of "Human Events": "More than 2000 years ago Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace himself, understood the very real need to take up arms for personal self protection when he advised disciples: "…if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."...

Here is some great advice on using language to control the debate on self-defense issues and the 2nd Amendment: http://www.seark.net/~jlove/pc.htm Some examples: They want you to say (and you lose if you say): PRO GUN It's better to say (and they lose if you say): PRO RIGHTS They...

I keep seeing vaguely disparaging comments and allusions to Glocks around here. Why is that? Is there something I don't know? I don't presently own a Glock, but I have owned and fired both a 19 and 26. From what I know, they're light, they don't rust, break or wear out, they never jam, they...

For those who like medieval weapons, this is a real bargain, and it'll soon be gone. http://www.coldsteel.com/89pa.html This isn't a wall-hanger; it's the real deal, a forged-steel, differentially tempered fighting axe with a "war hammer" backspike. Think of it as a two-handed tomahawk on...

I decided to look around for a forum where I could debate with anti-gunners and maybe help change a few minds. I found this on the first one I looked at: "i used to be completely anti-gun without considering any of the alternative. i suggest anyone who thinks this way to check out...
