    legal to build ar after ban?

    It Depends on the wording of the legislation. With the '94 AWB you could sell high cap mags and pre-ban configuration rifles(and pistols), usually at a pretty good markup compared to what it would have cost if there were no ban. With a hypothetical upcoming ban, who knows.

    Entertainment for the night...

    Twelve officers to check out a CCWer buying art supplies at wally world... WHY?!?! Are they really THAT new to dealing with people carrying concealed that they can't handle it with a little more tact? Either someone got mighty creative on the phone or the local LE lack common sense... or...

    Have You Seen This Guy?

    There are such people on both ends of the spectrum. I find it's best just to keep a straight face and let them talk, then start laughing hysterically. I'd rather save the debate for people who seem to be capable of something at least approaching what could be described as reasoning.

    ANY way to get a CCW under 21 in FL?

    Legally, no, Florida doesn't honor non-res permits. It is, however, legal to carry in the glove box of your car(IIRC, IANAL).

    2nd Amendment: God given right?

    Bah, we humans tend to ponder too many questions who's answer, even if it COULD be found, wouldn't make a lick of difference. We have rights in this country, whether they're God-given, "natural", or only exist because the government says so is irrelevant in the end, because if the government...

    22 year old dies from neglegent discharge

    This is what happens when you don't respect tools. Bicycles, cars, explosives, guns, knives, motorcycles, whatever, if you don't respect it and take care to use it safely, you will end up in the hospital or worse sooner or later. That said, any "accidental" self-inflicted gunshot wound to the...

    Stupid dumb teenagers!!!

    How I managed not to blow myself up during my adolescent years can only be attributed to divine intervention. Thankfully one near death experience with low explosives was enough to make me rethink the wisdom of further experimentation.

    Garland Business owner's son kills suspected copper thief

    This sort of shooting pushes the limit of "acceptable" IMO, of course the article leaves much to the imagination, for all we know the criminal decided to charge when the owner's son told him to freeze. As always the devil is in the details, though I gotta say I don't feel any less safe knowing...

    What prompted the current open carry fad?

    I think it's more grassroots activism than a fad.

    (TX) Austin woman shoots attacker in the face

    In this case she "provoked" a situation by walking out her front door. I'm not saying it's was a tactically sound move, but I don't see how going somewhere you have a right to be, whether you know someone is there who may be out to harm you is there or not, is morally wrong.

    Sexually insecure Dirty Harrys...

    Someone needs to come down from their high horse and evaluate why police carry handguns :scrutiny:.

    Joe Horn No Billed Thread 2 (no personal attacks here)

    I think Mr. Horn's actions were a little morally dubious at best, but at the end of the day, I know I don't lose any sleep over there being two fewer career criminals being counted among the living.

    "straw purchase" question

    What you're describing is not a straw purchase but a violation of 922(d). and I'd think it would be nearly impossible to prove that you didn't know your spouse was a felon in a court of law. I don't know about the state level.

    "Why I Carry a Gun"

    Excellent post. My usual(somewhat smart-arse) response is that calling 911, waiting ATLEAST 5 minutes, and then having the cop pull his gun and deal with the situation seems like an open invitation for Murphy to ruin my day.

    I love airsoft

    The biodegradable BBs aren't that much more expensive , only ~25% more than normal ones. I don't know much about AEGs(automatics), as I only have a couple co2 pistols and a few spring powered rifles and a shotgun. The funnest airsoft gun I've shot(a couple AEGs included) is the UTG multi-shot...

    The Guns of Iraq

    What if it's the government doing the persecuting, and who determines what is and is not "legitimate". Giving the government the ability to classify people/organizations/etc like that turns everyone's rights into privileges.[/offtopic] Is the 30 round ammo limit spelled out in a statute...

    Vitter To Introduce Concealed Carry Reciprocity

    Controlling a 2 ton vehicle moving at 30+ mph is alot different than carrying a holstered firearm.

    The Guns of Iraq

    I think the Iraqis have more on their minds than the philosophical intricacies of gun ownership. Like staying alive and keeping food on their families' tables.
