    private pilot, carry on airport

    Depends of the airport. For example, Manassas, Virginia permits weapons anywhere on the airport (except for the control tower -it is a federal facility), but Dulles, about 15 miles away, does not allow weapons anywhere on the site (except transiting to/from the airport counter). I have spoken...

    Modular Gun Safe

    W L Johnson: The safe/vault is going on my concrete basement floor. There is no weight limitation on the basement floor. The problem is that the stairs leading to the basement can only support approximately 1,000 lbs. Because even a 66/36 AmSec BF safe weighs 1200 lbs, there is a problem...

    Modular Gun Safe

    A1ABJ: How do they compare to a Class M or Class 1 modular vault, such as the ones manufactured by International Vault? Are there any modular vault companies that you could recommend? For example, Empire safe? American Vault? Megasafe? others? Readyornot: Thanks for the information. I...

    Modular Gun Safe

    I will be moving to a new home in a few weeks and have been researching gun safes for the last few days. My situation is fairly typical in that the safe will reside in my man cave in the basement. The problem is that, like most residences, the stairs are limited to about 1,000 lbs. An Amsec...

    Win. Super Grade v. Kimber 84M v. ??

    Just a question. Does Winchester make the Supergrade in .308 now? Last I checked, the .308 wasn't available in the Supergrade, only .270, 30.06, a couple of WSMs and some magnums. Let me know if you find out otherwise.

    Thanks for pointing this out. I'll vote for her. DC needs a bar president like her.

    How would you respond?

    Maybe I should clarify a few things. It doesn't matter whether it is a meth lab or a pot field. Same difference as far as I am concerned. The point is that four armed guys begin to approach you and you have no idea whether they intend to harm you or not. They are too close to run from without...

    How would you respond?

    Here is a hypothetical: You are hunting alone in a state or national forest (large property). You have a shotgun with small game loads, say 5 shot, buckshot and a few slugs. You also have your concealed carry handgun. You are two to three miles from your truck. You haven't seen anyone in...

    DC handgun question

    Last Fall I registered a Sig 229 in DC. They do make it onerous and there is only one FFL. It takes at least three trips to the MPD to accomplish the registration. The FFL fee was $125 and the city fee was $45, IIRC. Believe it or not, one additional problem is the shortage of parking for...

    Wash-Post Article on Gun Purchasing Proccess

    Actually, there were 104,391 registered firearms in DC last February. Obviously, there are many more unregistered firearms. When I registered my first shotgun in DC it only took me about five days. At the time I was told that ten years ago it could take as long as two years to get approved...

    Wash-Post Article on Gun Purchasing Proccess

    I use to live in DC. What he described about the process is very accurate. I registered one of the first semiautos last fall. What a PITA. The police in the firearms unit don't like the rules either, but they don't make the rules. I'm glad the Heller legal team is suing DC to allow open...

    Win M70 vs CZ550 vs Kimber 8400

    This is from a post last week quoting from a CDNN blast email. It is quite a price! There may even be a rebate of $150 off this price. At $430 plus tax and FFL fee, this would be very hard to beat.

    Win M70 vs CZ550 vs Kimber 8400

    Thanks Bear. I'll take a good long look at the Featherweight and the base model Kimber 8400 as soon as I can find them.

    Win M70 vs CZ550 vs Kimber 8400

    OK, just to muddy the waters here. I just got off the phone with my local pusher. He has a Cooper Model 52 in stock in 30/06 with what he claims is beautiful wood that he will give me for about $1,500. The Kimber 8400 with better than standard wood is $1,200 and the Superamerica, which I...

    Win M70 vs CZ550 vs Kimber 8400

    I am trying to pick a general purpose hunting rifle (deer, hogs and as a backup varmint rifle) from among these three choices in 30/06. My firearm experience started with pistols and shotguns and only recently gravitated to rifles. About a year ago I bought two .22 rifles (Marlin 60 and...

    CCI Stinger as a defense round

    Another vote for the Velocitor. I have had nothing but good experience with CCI and while I like and use the Minimag and the Small Game Bullet, my favorite is the Velocitor. Stingers are reliable, but not all guns respond well with them - the Marlin 60 being one such example. By the way, I...

    Sig 229 DAK 357sig

    Sig 229 I have a Sig 229 in .40, .357 sig, 9 mm and .22lr. It is my favorite handgun. It is most accurate in .357 sig. What's not to like?:)
