I haven't taken a course on low light shooting(yet) and was just thinking about this. Do folks ever advocate closing your eyes when shooting in a dark situation? It would be just a sort of blink (not clench your eyes and fire away) to avoid the effects of muzzle flash upon firing.

As the title suggests, I'm looking for some spare 17 round mags for a S&W M&P9 and everyone is out of stock. Does any one know why they are so scarce?

I just ordered my first Mosin and found this video demonstrating the action of the rifle that I thought was rather interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXRY2j3RaUs&feature=related

Is there such a thing? I have seen a few case of people being subject to detention either with handcuffs or without for various things such as open carry. Is there a law against not letting them cuff you if you are not being actually arrested?

I have a box of 135 gr. Speer GDHP in .38 special +P that I purchased about nine months ago. The cartridges have a blue sealant around the primer. I also have a box of Speer GDHP 125 gr. that I purchased about three months ago that do not appear to have any of this sealant. Does anyone know...

I read the news story linked below and had some questions. The jist of it is an 18YO boy living at home was found to have various guns and other items. Father was charged with giving him guns that he could not legally possess etc. But, if I own a house and I buy a pistol, can I store it...

Anyone know a ballpark figure for how many ar/ak and similar rifles there are presently in the country?(non military/LEO) I am wondering about this in terms of "in common use".

I was just browsing CA gun laws in the ATF book. First of all, I could not believe CA has 67 pages devoted to it. My current state, TN, has 5.:what: I noticed that San Francisco has a strict liability law stating that importers, manufacturers, and dealers are specifically liable for...

I recently purchased a Swiss K31 and have a question about the action for those that have these rifles. When I pull the bolt back slowly, the bolt rotates but then the pins or lugs don't seem to rotate far enough and quite a bit more force is needed at the transition from rotation to sliding...

I was at a museum in Memphis today and they had one of these gun as part of an exhibit there. I thought it was a novelty or decorative item someone had made. But, no, they are real. I could not believe the size of this thing. I figured it must have been posted here before (and it has). But...

:rolleyes:

Over the past few years my wife has gone from thinking that guns in the home will be taken and used against you to getting her CCW permit. We've also talked about some situations that may occur at the house and what we should do. Tonight as I sat reading my favorite little website(THR) my wife...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,377861,00.html From the associated press I will never understand how you clean a loaded gun.

Hopefully the woman recovers. But, as a stark reminder for those against carry in parks and similar laws, here we have someone with a history of domestic violence with a gun, a restraining order (very useful), and taking a gun into the park. Never mind the whole attempted murder or possible...

Here is the hypothetical situation though it has actually happened in many places: In a state where it is legal to carry openly or concealed with a permit, a person catches a glimpse of me with my gun and calls 911. Can the police initiate a stop based on that even though no known crime has...

Why are folks supporting Heller always called pro gun and not pro constitution? I would like to see the Heller case portrayed as being a constitutional thing and nut just the evil gun lobby trying to harm more children. And a side question: as the little federal enclave that it is, do D.C...

After Heller comes down as most everyone expects, do you think that other places such as Chicago will amend their laws or will they spend more taxpayer money and fight it all the way?

http://wcbstv.com/local/police.handgun.cameras.2.722036.html Wow. Can't wait for the case where they slow the frame rate and increase the contrast and show something that the officer clearly should have seen.

My wife bought a S&W M&P9 today and it has 2 X 17 round magazines. I have a S&W 642 with 5 shots. After spending many months with my 642 and thinking about various situations, I have trouble envisioning needing another 12 rounds. Do any of you fine folks know of or have heard tell of a...

So yesterday the wife says "Even though tomorrow is Mothers' day, do you think we can go up to the target range/gun shop so I can buy a gun? To which I replied that I couldn't think of a better way to spend the morning. So off we go to the range today. I watched the kids while mommy tried out...
