    How many do you carry?

    Unless I'm at work in Indian country, just one... I'm embarrassed to say off-work I usually don't carry a spare magazine on me (thou they are in the truck, along with more tools to sustain an engagement)...

    Top 2015 gun sales, explains the rimfire situation

    I for one have twin 7-year old boys... I stuck the 10/22's and AR 22's back in the safe and broke out the Marlin 39A lever action for them to shoot - there was no way I could feed the semi-auto .22's with twin boys... It ensure they slow down and focus on aiming, instead of the temptation to...

    Why are gun rights supporters worried about bans on so-called assault weapons?

    I think the author was spot on... I also get very concerned when a SCOTUS justice opines that a "perceived benefit" to public safety, which may not in reality have any benefit is nonetheless of substantial benefit to the public [I'm paraphrasing]. Effectively stating that if the public...

    A tipping point?

    I was reading a Washington Post article yesterday where it lamented that researchers were "mystified" about the fact that violent crime has gone down, while gun ownership has increased. What struck me is these same folks are never "mystified" if a report can in any way tend to support an...

    How Much Ammo is Too Much

    "Enough" is such a relative term... For just .22lr alone I have about 2,500 rounds. I really enjoy shooting rim fire steel challenge matches and try to attend 1-2 matches each month. I also have twin 7-year old's who are really getting into enjoying shooting .22 rifles. I have found myself...

    Pinellas County, Florida Sheriff Threatens to Shoot Concealed Carriers

    A tipping point?

    I don't think there is much chance of any genuine anti-gun legislation being passed... Like so many other things, both sides have polarized to their far corners and there isn't any middle ground. Virtually all successful legislation is a series of compromise (some recent exceptions should serve...

    Second Amendment: Suspended?

    I have heartburn about any Gov't lists that is created behind closed doors, contributed by multiple agencies, the "target" does not know they are on the list until consequences manifest, no due process to get on the list, no due process for removal from the list - it is a prime opportunity for...

    Cali Microstamping law

    So I suppose that means that every handgun certified as approved for sale in CA must now start all over again?

    Revolver vs Semi-Auto For truck Gun

    Not all of the M&P 40's have a magazine safety... it is an optional configuration, at least that is my understanding.

    Opening a gun store. Anybody have one??

    I don’t believe you can successfully use your home address as your “physical” address for the FFL… the ATF is fairly strict about it being a properly zoned store front operation with posted hours before they will approve an FFL (“proving” you own/lease/rent the storefront before you get your...

    Opening a gun store. Anybody have one??

    I found that a business degree teaches you a great deal about how to run a business after it is successful, it usually doesn’t teach you what is needed to start a business from scratch, how to capitalize, setting up licenses or taxes or what it is like to lay awake at 2am in a sweat about...

    QUICK: Gun sale etiquette

    I’ve bought and sold some firearms on a forum… “haggling” doesn’t constitute a commitment, but as soon as someone sends acceptance for an offer you have made you should follow through. I sold a handgun on this forum a few weeks ago and got a decent offer that was below what I was asking, I...

    Sealing Records (CO)

    If you successfully get a CCW license issued, that should eliminate the problem of an old arrest or expungement tripping up your background check in most states – if you have a valid CCW, I don’t think that they have to run the NICS check. If your state police say your background history is...

    Opening a gun store. Anybody have one??

    I think that the biggest reason not to have the FFL in your name solely and have the gunshop itself incorporated separately would be the direct personal liability… I would think it would make it much easier to pierce the corporate veil.

    Busted!

    +1 on being careful when you hug relatives or close friends… you have to be quick and position your carry-side arm low when reaching out to force their hand to go high during the hug – it took me a time or two to really keep that in mind after having relatives unknowingly reach around and catch...

    Opening a gun store. Anybody have one??

    I agree with the forming an S-Corp to avoid the increased taxation issue – but for a gunshop, more specifically a Class 3 gunshop there are many things to consider… • Pro – S-Corp you can minimize some of the taxation; • Con – S-Corp if you ever close the Class 3 won’t be considered your...

    Just had a visit from the ATF & Homeland Security!!!

    I owned a gunshop years ago and some time passed after I properly closed it and turned in my FFL when two IRS agents showed up at my home… they were investigating a former customer that had bought a lot of firearms from me (normal run of the mill S&W revolvers for his collection). They made it...
