    Can friend/relative mail my guns?

    If I move cross country and establish a new address, can someone I've trusted with several guns legally ship them to me? Is my presence or signature at the shipping site needed, precluding the proxy shipper?

    Checking handguns in baggage.

    I may be moving to Alaska early next spring. I expect to send long guns to an FFL since Canada seems dicey, especially since I'm driving a station wagon that would make concealment and non-accessibility difficult. Once I've settled, I'm wondering if an initial flight back to the east coast...

    Caliber for squirrels?

    My next BP purchase is likely to be a long gun for squirrels. Does the .32 or the .36 better fit the job?

    I may vote for Bush but...

    Okay, you're voting for Bush, but without enthusiasm. What sticks in your craw the most about his policies, character, abilities, whatever? I'll start off with something very far from geo-political strategies. When I saw the tape of him wiping his eyeglasses on a woman's dress during the...

    Prettiest gun?

    Forget shooters, last-ditch survival and smartest design -- what makes you smile just to look at it? Winchester '94 here.

    American Shooter done?

    I recently realized that my cable system is now giving me OLN, so I searched for American Shooter for the first time since it moved there. All Tour de Lance at the moment. So I went on the A.S. website and, while up, it looks pretty dusty. Anyone know if a new season is planned?

    Through Canada with a rifle.

    I'm planning a trip to Alaska in a few months and want to know the process for driving through Canada part of the way with a longarm. I've heard there's a process and a fee ($50?), but was wondering what the fine points were. Whom do I contact? How long ahead of time is it necessary to do so...

    Automatic not for the people?

    Why are automatic knives subject to so much legal restriction? Give me the most reasonable argument you've heard -- and then feel free to chop it into 52 pieces.

    Moving my guns cross-country.

    What would be the most hassle-free way to get my guns to me on the other side of the country? I suspect interstate travel by car may be a problem in some places and, though I haven't had a traffic stop in 15 years, I'd just as soon not tempt fate. If I sent them, would they have to go to an...

    Canadian travel and air guns?

    Is it okay, difficult or impossible to travel through Canada with an air gun in my car? Nothing hot, just a Beeman P-3 for plinking at my final destination, which is in the States. I'm not looking to break any of our neighbor to the North's laws and I can always have it shipped and waiting for...

    Benchrest target?

    The circle with the square resting on top... how is it used?

    Not even to my worst enemy.

    What gun have you owned and hated and wouldn't wish on your worst enemy?

    Hornady brass!

    Why is Hornady brass so expensive? A hundred 45 ACP cases from Starline, Winchester or Remington run about 12 bucks. Hornady... $26.39! What gives?

    Book recommendation.

    Recently finished The Everlasting Stream: A True Story of Rabbits, Guns, Friends and Family, Walt Harrington's account of lessons in hunting and life gathered from his father-in-law and that man's friends. The book is a gentle but honest reflection on fathers and sons, ritual, manliness, and...

    Denting .45 Auto.

    I just finished loading some .45 ACP and about ten percent of the cases dented at the base of the bullet. This was mixed brass that I picked up cheap from a range. All of it was resized and expanded at the same time in the same way. When I pulled the ram handle I could tell which ones were...

    RCBS Little Dandy.

    Just got one, and six rotors are on the way from Midway. Any of you single-stage pistoleros use one?

    Phone numbers?

    Assuming you buy from more than one dealer, can you price shop over the phone? Can you pick up the phone and ask about a price at a store you frequent or do they have a policy of no price quotes by phone?

    Leather dye-job.

    I'm considering dyeing a buff/tan/natural leather sling, and was wondering if there was a fool(me)-proof way of getting a nice, lasting result. If anyone's dyed a sling, belt, holster, whatever and can recommend some products and procedures I'd be obliged. Ed

    Don't bother.

    How many here reload on a regular basis, but exclude some of the calibers they own? In other words, do you load for rifles, but figure 9mm is cheap enough and maybe not shot enough, so why bother? Are there folk who load thousands a month but still buy the step-child in the bunch?

    Ever hurt a friend?

    Did you ever have to tell a friend that his/her shooting skills weren't respectable enough for a clean kill? If so what was the reaction and what were the consequences? Lessons and practice, I'd hope. End of friendship, I'd worry.
