Give me a break ... ... the implicit justification for stricter gun control (the message of this article) is the actions of one deranged lunatic, at the end of his road. No mention of even one of the hundreds of cases where a citizen uses a firearm in self-defense, for example this recent case...

Re: The shooter has issued a statment: http://www.wltx.com/news/story.aspx?storyid=71292&catid=2 Responding to previous posters: Crime is bad in Columbia (I live there) in places, but Sumter, West Florence and North Charleston are hardcore. I can imagine the culture shock coming down from...

I was thinking about going out there ... ... and trying to offer some of them more money for their guns, if I saw some I liked (I live in Columbia). But I read about the setup - everybody had to have the guns in their trunks, and the police were there waiting in the parking lot, I figured that...

uh Did you go the one last Spring at the fairgrounds, held on the same day Obama was speaking at Williams-Brice, a few hundred yards away? Out of curiosity, I went to the Messiah's rally, and then went straight over to the gun show. Now that's not something you get to do every day.

It could be that the ...crime in Charlotte is creating big demand for guns, so these dealers figure they'll clean up on newbies who are worried about being robbed. Might want to thank your lawmakers for underfunding the penal system, so they just keep letting the thugs back out. We're...

I wonder if the Supreme Court has the ability to declare the council in contempt? They tried to keep the trigger lock component intact, decide the fact that Scalia's opinion declared (directly) that it was unconstitutional. The ruling also directly addressed the ban on semis. I think the D.C...

Yea, Georgia next ... Just got my SC CWP, good to know it's honored in FL. But GA is right next door. Personally, I don't think a background check is too much to go through to get a CWP.

Maybe it's my hand.... ... I do keep my hand on the slide after the rack - maybe that's what's doing it. I'll try releasing it instead - was just practicing. The same technique has never given me problems with my other guns. This one just might be a little finicky. I'm also going to try...

I have the 3.5" RIA compact 45. I obtained it about 3 weeks ago. The first couple of times I shot it, I would get (what I have learned is) a 3-point jam on the last round of the magazine (Novak 6-rd), with the back end of the cartridge pinned down, and the nose up blocking the barrel. I ordered...

Maybe play George Jones' Version... ... in the background.

I'm reading through the ruling .... .... at least the synopsis at the beginning, and it does mention that D.C. will have to issue a license for Heller to have his gun in his home. Hmmm

At the range last weekend ... ... there was a couple next to me with a brand new taurus semi-auto. They kept having failures to fire - it was firing two rounds, then failing. Then it stopped firing altogether. This place is also a gun shop, and one of their workers said there was nothing better...

I know the state of every gun I own ... ... loaded? Chambered? But I'll be danged if I don't double-check when I pick it up. I have a rule - the more familiar I get with guns, the more careful I need to be. It's in the moment when you relax your standards, possibly through familiarity, that...

Problem fixed. I bought my 642 used off of gunbroker.com. The double-action pull was heavy, and a strange thing was happening - as I fired it more, it would 'tighten up', to the point it was like weight-lifting to get the thing to fire. I didn't want to take the face-plate off myself, so took...

re: cost of 9mm ammo You can practice with Winchester 9mm FMJ (sometimes called Winchester White box or WWB), which are available at Wal-Mart for ~19 bucks/100 in my area. Wal-mart will also carry Remington UMC, for practice, and that runs about $10.50 per box of 50. Those are, as I said...

I'm an active member of DU, .. ... I am still a Democrat, but a southern one - I believe in the death penalty and RKBA. I mainly end up arguing about how bad a choice Obama is (Clinton can actually win, and i wouldn't be scared if she did, like I would with Obama), and the arguments can be...

they can be gruff... ... in my hometown (I'm in SC) there's one store that's committed to selling firearms as it's principal business. The guys in there aren't exactly looking to win any congeniality contests, but if they think you're going to buy something, or just want to see a gun, they're...

glah glah I get better accuracy with the Remington. I have no idea why.

Man, talk about hijacked ... .... I guess I shouldn't have said 'we gotta have rules'. But we do, Sans Authoritas, though I would agree with 'the fewer the better'. I take it you're a libertarian. If I recall my Robert Nozick properly, I believe that even the hard-cores admit that there has to...

I saw it at thestate.com Yeah, I'm from SC, too, and have been watching this unfold, and share your concerns. In some cases, it does appear that the SCHP went over-the-top. But certainly, this shows how tough the job can be. Here's another, where the woman just wouldn't give up her...
