I'm pretty new to owning guns, and I've had a couple of close calls. I was letting my friend handle a couple of pistols, neither had a round chambered, but one had a magazine loaded. He fondled the first one, then picked up the 1911, and racked the slide. It took me a second to register he was...

It's unfortunate that I can't even trust the news to get the basic facts right. For instance, were the "AK-47s" actually automatic as the article states, or were they of the legal semi-automatic flavor? I see that simple distinction screwed up in news reports so often it's impossible to know...

It seemed like it might have been a transcript of a broadcast or something, it did seem to jump all over the place and had a pretty low word count.

So these proposed laws only ban private party sales at "gun shows", not normal face to face sales?

I got my permit here in Utah, and the 4 hour class was definitely geared more towards the legalities of carrying, with a little bit of info about actual shooting and handguns. To me that seems alright, the CFP class should cover the legal issues in detail, but really learning how to use your...

I got one Well, another classified ad came up today that I decided to jump on... I bought a left handed Stag (I'm a leftie, so that works out). A3, with a basic adjustable sight on there now, 16" barrel, adjustable stock, etc. It has had a couple hundred rounds through it, and came with 3...

I started my gun collection off with a couple of handguns a few months ago, and now I'm looking at getting an AR-15 type rifle. This is a little more intimidating of a purchase, since they're pretty expensive, I have no experience with ARs, and the only firearms I'm really familiar with are...

I believe after the Robert Kennedy assassination, a law was passed to give Presidential candidates Secret Service protection, so they probably were in charge of security. I imagine most appearances by candidates aren't secured areas in the sense of metal detectors, etc.

Dorm room theft? That's exactly the kind of alarmist argument some people are using to make this sound like a radical idea. They're trying to conjure up this image of 18 year old college kids showing up to school ready to party, and getting handed a gun. Most of the schools out West are largely...

Like others have said, CCing on campus is legal in Utah, and it's really been a non-issue except for the occasional op-ed piece complaining about "students packing heat" in the school newspaper. I'd guess less than 1% of the people at the U of Utah are carrying, since so many are under 21, and...

Yep, held off on my Walmart purchase today, seeing it at 18something, instead of 15something for 100ct 9mm. I can have my choice of $9 50cts of FMJ at my local gun shop instead at that price. I forgot to look at the .45 blazer brass, I normally buy that too, but I'm guessing it went up as well...

Well... yeah I do. I bought a gun off a guy I didn't know in a home depot parking lot last month, legally. It was a SUV and his wife and kid were in the car, but same idea I suppose. All the docmentation that was involved was him writing down some info from my driver's license, and he didn't...

You guys are doing great work. I watched a couple of the interview videos on your site, and you're doing a great job of getting your very reasonable point across clearly, even in the face of unfair questions and obviously biased interviewers. I guess there is no need for the empty holster...

9mm para might be illegal where he is. (I know I've heard that it is in some foreign countries like Mexico and Italy, since it's a military cartridge). It seems like his selection is pretty limitied with those prices he's listing.

Yeah, buying something that's price is so artificially inflated because of a law seems risky to me too. It seems unlikely the law is going to loosen up, (Heller or no), but you never know, some arbitrary decision by the govt could instantly knock 80% or so off the value of your very expensive gun.

Uhh, where exactly are you from? You see, here in the USA we have a 1st amendment as well as a 2nd amendment... I'm kind of speechless, are you joking, crazy, or a disgruntled member of the Taliban?

I was told at a gun shop recently that the owner carries a full auto mac-11 as his CCW. I don't think the guy was pulling my leg, so I'm guessing you could do that here in Utah. Seems like a pretty bad idea to me, for the reasons other people have mentioned... You're in college, living with...

I guess it's natural to think our own is the best, but it's hard to beat Utah. Reciprocity in 33 states, you can carry on any state property that's not a secured area (metal detectors, guards etc.), including college campuses, you can carry in bars, but cannot carry while intoxicated ( .08 BAC)...

They're talking about two different things. If you have a CFP, you can carry concealed or openly with a fully loaded weapon. If you don't have a CFP, you can still carry openly, but the weapon has to have an empty chamber.

You mean $15.72 for a 100 box, right? That's what the WWB is in the Walmart around here. I just bought my first 1911, I went to Walmart hoping to find a similarly good on deal WWB .45, but they wanted $28 for a 100 box of WWB! Luckily they had Blazer brass for $11.72 for 50. I've at least found...
