jak67429: I think you're right! Thank you! I believe it won't only answer my questions, but tell me pretty much anything I might ask about in the future too! :eek: I saved the PDF file to my flash drive and will be doing some quality reading later tonight.

If the rules in place now are only emergency rulese, then how do we know what the real rules are? This is one reason I'd never bother with open carry. The cops can then interpret the rules any way they like at the moment based on someone seeing me with a gun and reacting to it in their own...

It's funny that Article 1, Section 25 says, "The people have the right to keep and bear arms for security, defense, hunting, recreation or any other lawful purpose." And then it goes on to say that you can't have it in your car. What good is it if you can't have it in your mode of...

It's November 1st and the CCW permit law has just gone into affect in Wisconsin. Of course, nobody has a permit today because this is just when people can start applying for the permit, assuming they already got their training. What I'd like to know (but can't seem to register on...

I actually don't understand the mechanics of how such a gun would work like this. I don't see how a 10' barrel makes the gun more powerful or spreads out the shot more, as seen in that video. I would think that a longer barrel (at least an excessively long one) would make it quieter, but not...

Thanks for that! It's funny that the first link leads to how it was used in Wisconsin since I'm from there. The photo at the bottom of the second link of the multi barrel punt gun makes that rowboat look like a battleship!

I was at a local shop a few weeks ago to get an appraisal on a coin I had just bought at an auction (the store sells both guns and coins). While there, someone else had brought in a shotgun that had a barrel on it that was 10 feet long. You read that right! :what: The stock and general...

I'm not sure what kind it was, other than being Bushnell and being fixed magnification. No, it doesn't shoot low normally when using iron sights. I thought that once the scope was mounted, it would shoot somewhat close enough to the point where I put the crosshairs, and then I would adjust the...

I bought a Bushnell scope for my .22 (used from a dealer) and after mounting it on my .22 and shooting, I discovered that the gun shoots 4.5" too low. I tried adjusting the elevation setting on the scope, but got no results. I ended up taking it back to the dealer and getting a refund...

Is it also true that the more past the speed of sound it travels, the louder the sonic boom will be? That would explain the rifle being louder since rifles put out a higher velocity.

Uh, no. It was at the range. But my biggest concern would be firing inside of an enclosed room, such as in a house.

At the range, I've fired my shotgun and 9mm pistol side by side once to see how they sounded (without earmuffs). I thought the 9mm produced a sharper and more painful blast. The shotgun didn't seem too bad at all. But when I heard someone shoot an AR15 in .223--THAT was loud! Also, I have...

If birdshot is for birds, what is buckshot for? Deer? As to my phonebook test with #6, I shot at it from about 5 feet away. My shotgun puts a "rathole" in pretty much anything up to 10', and then the shot spreads out at distances beyond that. I was just surprised that even the rathole...

After hearing about the power of the shotgun and how it's the #1 home defender, I got one. I also did a little test that didn't turn out like I imagined it would. First, let me say that I'm aware that #6 birdshot isn't the best defense round, but it does put out about 1600 foot lbs. of...

These lower prices you guys are reporting makes me wonder what's up with my dealer suddenly charging $470 for a new one, up $40 from a couple months ago. Other dealers in the area charge so much more for everything, so he is basically the best one to go to in general. Just not anymore in this...

Yeah, that's what this dealer was originally charging a couple months ago. At the time, I had figured a used one would probably go for about $310, so it stands to reason that it's now actually $350 since the new one had also gone up $40.

A few months ago, I was eyeing an SR9. My dealer had a new one for $420 and I decided I'd wait til he had a used one so I could get a great deal on it. Well, I just stopped in there a few days ago to find that he's selling new ones for $460 now, which is a sudden $40 increase since the last...

Thanks, Highorder. Identifying them that way makes them a cinch to spot!

I'm in the market for a used Ruger SR9, but I've heard there was a recall. If I were to come across a used SR9 at a shop, is there an easy way to spot whether or not it was made before the recall, or if the error causing the recall had been fixed or not? I know I could just send it to Ruger...

I always hear that for home defense, you should have a shotgun. I used to agree and have had one under my bed for awhile now. But after a recent scare, I now have to wonder. The SG is so clumsy to handle indoors, to draw from a concealed location, to manuever quickly, etc. But with a...
