I am one who believes that if the gun was in good working order there is no such thing as an accidental discharge. If the officer was handling it and it went off, that is clear inexcusible negligence. If something on the chair somehow freakily interacted with the gun and caused it to...

I did not see the chair. It was behind the table. I could only speculate. Prior to the discharge, I wasn't watching him closely enough to say where his hands were. The only news account I can find is the link above. The local fishwrap factory didn't mention it. I'm not trying to villify or...

It took this guy about 5-10 seconds to figure it out. -nosualc

I know guns just don't go off by themselves, but if he were holstering it or fiddling with it, I don't think he would have been so slow to realize it was his own weapon that went off. You never know I guess. I did not see the holster. The officer was seated at the time. After the discharge...

http://wcco.com/local/gun.show.accident.2.940514.html There was another thread about this earlier that was shut down. My buddy and I were 20 feet away from this when it happened. To clarify some speculation here: The ND occurred outside the door of one of the large rooms at the MPLS...

Speaking as somebody who has in the past (30 years ago) lit bare rocket motors (I wanted to see what they would do) - they are incredibly unstable in flight, and incredibly fast. I suspect as soon as they clear your barrel they will go wherever Mr. Murphy sez they should. I think you're...

As others have said, typical hunting long-arms are no problem. When you stop to talk with the guard they'll ask you why your coming to Canada. After you tell them you're there for hunting, tell them you have a firearm(s) to declare. They'll ask you to pull over, and have you fill out a form...

If you're hunting on a game farm/preserve, it's likely that your shots will be closer than if the birds were wild. If you can shoot lead, #6 or #5. Your modified choke is more or less optimal. If you have to shoot steel, the rule of thumb is go up two shot sizes to #4 or #3. Note that...

Thanks countertop, She's my second shorthair, an excellent hunter with a sweet disposition. She loves the water (she think she's a lab), and does ok when it's cold as long as she can stay active. That said, I think she would drive me crazy in a duck blind! Pheasants and huns are all she's...

I had always gone by the 1" rule, but it's your deer, your call. A less ambiguous way to talk about it is to score it, and call it a 130 (or whatever it is, but that's probably close). http://www.boone-crockett.org/ -nosualc ps - nice deer!

First, labs can be excellent uplanding hunting dogs. I've seen examples that had excellent noses, excellent desire, and excellent retrieving abilities. They have the size/strength to hunt heavy cover like cattail swamps. IMO, the better ones tend to be the slower/older ones who work very close...

Most of the MN firearm deer season is over. Unless your are in zone 3 (SE MN), or your neighbors bow or muzzleloader hunt, you should be ok. Check with your neighbors. -nosualc

You can't go wrong with an Anschutz. I've got a particular weakness for Anschutz rifles. I own a 1710MG and a 1730MG. If only Anschutz made heavier calibers... -nosualc

Cold weather tips from 20 yrs of Minnesota deer seasons: Cotton wicks warmth away from your body. Cotton socks, t-shirts, sweat shirts, denim are all cold weather no-no's. Even the best pair of space-aged thermal long underwear won't keep you warm if you wear cotton underwear underneath. I'm...
