    Do any of you give names to your firearms?

    "My" M1 Garand I named Luke. Luke was a real buddy and never failed me. Unfortunately, I had to let my Uncle Sam have it back when I came back to the ZI.

    Would you have a problem being trained by me?

    I would suggest that you print out the reply from fastbolt and keep it with your course book. He has hit the X ring with this response. In fact, I think all Instructors should also print it out. Age itself will not be a factor unless you let it become one. There are good instructors...

    Are your gun show expectations too high?

    I go because I can. It's my truck drivers wave to those who would like to close them down. Seldom buy but enjoy looking and talking. Mainly talking.

    How many LOADED guns do you keep at home?

    No matter which ones are loaded and which are not treat them all as if they were loaded.

    Wht age to start a child on the path of the gun bunny?

    I agree that it depends on the maturity of each child. I'd like to add one point - start with a pellet gun. I don't like the way those BB's bounce around. One good thing about a pellet gun is that you can start teaching them in your basement with a small range. Most guns you buy will have...

    My first gun

    Although you have had some experience with firearms in the past, it is still a good idea to take a basic firearms course for either pistol or longguns. For more information check this out: www.nrahq.org/education/training/basictraining.asp

    Are those AGI gunsmithing videos all they're cracked up to be?

    I have the one on stock refinishing. It's very good. I still go back to it for a refresher now and then.

    A few questions from a neophyte

    Scott. There is really no need to "oil" a gun and things like bike oil and WD 40 are a real no-no. They collect dirty with just helps to wear out your firearm. For now I'd just use Hoppes No. 9. It will both clean and protect. As you learn more you may want to check out some others, but No. 9...

    Any exceptions to the gun-free zones?

    Many years ago in Sheboygan, WI the club I belong to, Sheboygan Rifle and Pistol Club, built a range in the basement of a public middle school. It's open one night a week to the public. Our club has use on other nights . I and other NRA Instructors use a class room and the range for conducting...

    A few questions from a neophyte

    I frankly love all .357's for a couple of reasons, not the least is that you can shoot .38 Specials in them. Between the two you have many different bullet weights to choose from. And if you get into reloading you can have a ball. Now, back to the .22. I have a .22 that matches one of my .357's...

    A few questions from a neophyte

    As you can tell from my screen name my first recommendation will be similar to others posted before me, take an NRA course and the Basic Pistol is probably the place to start. Second, don't be in a hurry to make a decision on what to buy. No matter what the reason is for your desire to get...

    J.C. Higgins

    Sorry to send you in the wrong direction. My rifle, the one that was made by Stevens, is a bolt action, not semi-auto. I think you should look at the old Mossberg listing.
