My brother, who is in the armed forces, has asked me to find out what people recommend for an M4/AR-15 for his personal use/enjoyment. He was looking at Colt and Smith and Wesson. Any thoughts? Any other brands worth looking at? Nothing Chinese, please (if that's an issue--I assume the Chinese...

+1 on a cheap, reliable gun like the High Point--a friend has one and it's a perfectly respectable, reliable gun--anyone who says otherwise is a snob. But also, seriously, if you say you can't get a carry permit due to your meds, what about your wife? While your desire to protect her is...

Had closed by the time I looked.

Curious how common/available these are, if they're reliable, easy to have serviced, etc. Going rate? Will be picking up a .357 in 3 in. this week, but would be intrigued by the 9mm version, as it is my preferred caliber. Any thoughts? Please see my wtb post f you have one you'd be willing...

@ blacksheep Indeed... what a damn mess. I also know a local firearms instructor who was in a bad neighborhood and had to draw his revolver on a BG, who then called MPD to give a description of this dude who evidently likes to lunge at people with a tire iron, and waited and they never showed...

I'm comparatively new to handgun ownership. I've been lurking on the revolver forum for a while because I'd like to add a revolver to my "arsenal" :rolleyes:... I've settled on the .357 SP-101 due to price and versatility (I'll buy a Smith and Wesson next, OK? :) ). I've settled on...

Wow, TNTWATT, that isn't what you said the other day when you and Mr. Rogers piled on me (and you accused me of being an anti) because I said what every other person on this thread has said, namely that there are almost no good reasons to shoot through a door at someone you can't see, and tons...

I just bought my first 9mm about a month ago. It was a CZ 75B in stainless (I'm moving to a hot and humid climate in a few months, plus I liked the looks of it). About 300 rounds along the way, I'm very happy with it--just ONE piece of advice--thoroughly clean it and lube it to remove the...

Going to have to second Steve in saying that I have never heard of a Libertarian who wasn't pro-gun. Along with goofy hats and ill-advised facial hair (:D), guns are classically Libertarian. Insofar as Libertarians are single-issue politicians, that's usually the issue... Then again, I despair...

"Taurus does too, but you rarely see anyone who thinks they're the best of anything." OH! OH! I got it! Best firearms manufacturer named after a cow! :D

I bet I know what happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVor6wRAzr0

+1 on the mailbox thing--my grandfather kept having problems with kids playing mailbox baseball with bats from cars, so he had an internal 1/4 plate steel sleeve the exact shape of the mailbox made (a perk of owning a manufacturing company with a large machine shop and some downtime) for his...

Depending where you are, backing into the space may be seen as a sign you're "cruising" (or so a Chicago PD friend has told me), as this is evidently visual shorthand for gay men looking to have sex in public parks. In either case, however, it's unlikely to put you in any "danger" per se, as in...

@ Trisha: I don't know you, but I know for certain that I really, really like you. :D

@ coyote: Could not agree more. Frankly, with all of the time some here seem to spend worrying about what "antis" think, the lack of critical self-reflection in the face of what seems like an almost overwhelmingly unambiguous case of overreaction with a firearm resulting in the death of a person...

@ DeViney: No #%@* :) @ Jaholder: Just citing another needless life taken by a person who (admitted he) was an irresponsible gun owner; I guess that's "grasping at straws" to you. I hope your friends will still visit you in prison if you act on what you purport to believe. I grew up in a house...

@ jaholder YAWN. Keep typing, at least then you won't be blindly shooting through doors. If "high road" means blindly accepting bravado about randomly shooting at people you can't even see, with no idea what's behind them, you're right, I'm definitely not High Road, unless, as I've already...

Wow--this thread went from the ridiculous to the ludicrous real fast... :)

@ Mr. Rogers: I've been awakened enough times by Jehovah's Witnesses that I'm going to have to leave their eternal damnation to a higher power; but if I had a vote...:evil: Also, if I make assumptions you don't like, I trust you will not judge them any more harshly than those asumptions you DO...

Does nobody remember Yoshi Hattori? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshihiro_Hattori Just because you're acquitted doesn't make you not a despicable person... I totally think any/everyone has the right to defend themselves from real threats, but in the particular case we're talking about...
