    Recommendations to train granddaughter near Casper WY

    Can anyone recommend a competent and professional instructor for my 21-year-old granddaughter? She lives in Casper WY. I've given her some training, but I think she would profit from taking a basic handgun course and then going on to more advanced training that reinforces proficiency and...

    How tough are airsoft accessories?

    And then there was that pawn shop owner in Vegas who assured me that I could buy his Airsoft replica of an M-14 and easily convert it to a real gun...

    Lever action that fires semi-auto rounds?

    Why doesn’t someone make a lever action in 9mm or .45 cal? It seems to me that the only real issue would be getting a grip on the semi-rimmed semi-auto round, vice the conventional rimmed round that lever actions normally digest.

    Driving 1500 miles and 5-states; strategy to find ammo?

    I don’t think Target ever carried ammo. K-mart might have. I just wanted to chide them for not carrying any.

    Driving 1500 miles and 5-states; strategy to find ammo?

    Just tangentially related, but back in the day, when I drove from the Florida Panhandle to California several times a year, I'd pull over to stretch my legs and walk around a K-Mart or Target. Just for the hell of it, before I'd leave, I'd seek out the manager and innocently ask where their...

    Slide jams on Remington 870

    Don't know how, but the problem appears resolved. The wife suggested that I just keep cycling the slide and see if it just needs to be "broken in." The jamming appeared to get progressively softer, and eventually went away after 70-80 more cycles than I had already made when I originally...

    What's the funniest/oddest thing you've heard/seen in a gun shop?

    I saw a guy trying to sell a lady, clearly a newbie, a .22 revolver. She kept asking if it was good for self defense, "Like, what if I have to shoot someone who is trying to get through my door?" The salesman told her that she could load it with shotshells, which would "surprise and scare"...

    Slide jams on Remington 870

    I'm very new new to shotguns, so I may not even be using the correct terminology. Please bear with me. I bought a used-but-looks-new (maybe unfired) 870 in 20 gauge at a pawn shop. I'm running into a frequent problem, and I don't even want to load the gun until it is sorted out. Frequently...

    Adding Iron Sights to Remington 7615

    The Remington 7615 is a fine pump-action rifle in .223 that takes AR-15 magazines. I bought one with iron sights at a gun show for about $330 in 2006. A few months ago, I gave it to my oldest son, and then I immediately bought another for $1200 !!! Anyway, the one I gave my son had factory...

    Anyone want to push for “Post Office Carry?”

    It makes no sense that an honest CCW holder be forced to park outside Post Office property, unholster his gun, and then stow it in his vehicle, before conducting business in the Post Office. Who wants to change this? I think it would help sell "Post Office Carry" if we point out to our...

    Can we include "Post Office Carry" in the National Reciprocity bill?

    I think it would help sell "Post Office Carry" if we point out that it would have ZERO cost to the taxpayers while inserting a bit of common sense into the lives of regular citizens (i.e., the post office is not in any way a "sensitive area" as defined by Heller). I propose the changes...

    9mm Carbine!

    Try a Chiappa M1-9 Citadel The Chiappa M1-9 Citadel is a wonderful M-1 Carbine with sufficient modifications to take Beretta 92 / M-9 magazines and shoot 9mm. I love mine. I also like the Beretta Storm Carbine, but the Chiappa just looks and feels neat. Really nice balance! Yeah, I know a...

    Moving from CT to VA

    Here's the SAFEST way Have your local gun shop legally ship them to an FFL near your future home in VA. It can cost a bit, but the cost is well worth the reduction in risk And as far as telling the cops in CT your new address, I'd just drop them a note informing them that you're no longer a...

    Where Have All the Junior NRA Rifle Classes Gone to?

    Curator, you are right! A few years back, as a favor to a sister-in-law, I took a nephew shooting. He had absolutely no interest in social interaction. If his mother brought him over when she came to visit, he'd bring his video game system with him and hook it up to our TV. He loved those...

    Florida State Rifle = Krag ?

    Anyone interested in joining me in advocating for Florida to adopt the US Model 1892 Krag as its official state rifle? I think a strong case can be made that Florida has had a special historical relationship with this handsome-looking rifle. More importantly, designating the Krag as the...

    Where Have All the Junior NRA Rifle Classes Gone to?

    I'm having a heck of a time finding Junior NRA Rifle Classes for grandkids in Casper WY and in Crestview and Melbourne FL. My father enrolled me in Junior NRA Rifle classes when I was in 7th grade at Mountain Home AFB ID and in 8th grade in Wichita KS. Those classes were wonderfully...
