    Weapons in a Vehicle Accident...thumbs up to Polk County S.O.

    Just recently I was involved in a major vehicle collision with a teenage driver who ran a stop sign at full speed. My wife and I are fortunate and blessed to have survived with relatively minor injuries, not counting a broken wrist needing surgery. We were travelling home from a great visit...

    Should I buy it? Inland M1A1 paratrooper.

    since it is local I would insist on a 3 day non firing inspection period. Find a subject matter expert to examine the rifle and get it appraised.

    Forget the 5 shot self defense!

    Say what you will, but my primary focus is to get my family and myself out of harms way and only engaging the threat if it blocks my Avenue of retreat. That being said, I'm ok with my G43 and an extra mag. My home is a different matter, not many want to pay the price to cross the moat uninvited...

    AR guys: is this a good deal? Good quality?

    As others have said...PSA is great choice for a lot less. The only downside is that PSA may take a while to deliver. For $550 you can skip the build and just buy a S&W M&P series rifle brand spanking new. The plus side is that a factory built rifle will usually be worth more in resale if a...

    WA mall shooting: Notice anything different in the coverage?

    Yes, it would have been a big fiasco If it was an AR used. I personally think the whole event was kept controlled by the media. A Spanish looking guy was first reported because everyone would have went nuts I'd they heard he was from Turkey.

    9mm Carbine!

    My current AR15 build I am working on uses a JoeBob Outfitters Spartan 9mm lower that uses Glock 9mm magazines. These are built by New Frontier Armory. I plan on using a 16" barrel with this build for max velocity. So far I only have the lower and a couple of mags...but it's a start!

    how to sell at a gun show?

    A .243 M1a supermatch would get you mobbed where I am at as well! I know it may cost me.a.sale, but I refuse to be the guy with a dowel in the barrel. Depending on the show, there may already be a line of buyers waiting on folks walking in.

    Should ALL Felons Regain Their Gun Rights Upon Completion of Sentence/Parole?

    I've. been in the prison business for close to 20 years now, both in administration and security, so I have seen the pendelum swing front rehabilitation to punishment as a form of what we consider to be "justice". That being said, there are some who may benefit from intensive cognitive...

    Advise on problem.

    Call the folks you bought it from before resorting to a BAR (Big xxx Hammer) as it may make things worse and you finding out later they would have fixed it for free.

    So how do YOU get a gun guy to try something new?

    Just swap rifles to prove that it is the rifle and not the shooter. Theoretically you should shoot worse aND he should shoot better. Second option, let the frustration build. Shooters can be a quirky bunch and after losing a few weeks make an offer to buy his clearly defective rifle dirt cheap.

    Half price books

    I wonder if there was an angle for a Better Business Bureau complaint against them? I once had a non gun related dispute with a satellite service provider over a discount arranged over the phone. The company refused to honor the agreement stating that I had misheard and refused to pull the...

    Strange question.

    CCW with black powder would definitely spur some interesting posts... " Pyrodex or FFG for speedoading?" "Patched ball or Sabot for self defense?" "CCW winter clothing, natural vs tanned deer hide for mild weather" "Flintlock ankle carry....anyone else?" "What to keep in your "possibles" bag"...
