    Easiest/hardest common calibers to find during recent ammo crunch?

    Around here (Ohio), .270 and 7mm Rem Mag were sitting on a lot of retail shelves throughout the panic. 30.06 was somewhat less available, but could be found. All handgun ammo was scarce (none at retail stores, available but at nasty prices at gun stores). Shotgun ammo was available if you...

    Guns not wanted in "family-friendly" Target

    I worked for Target for several years not long ago, and this comes as no surprise to me. Target sees itself as "Mommy's" retail store (as opposed to Wal-Mart, which Target sees as "Daddy's" retail store). Everything they do is geared toward their core shoppers, which is 20-something and...

    Gun Grabbers Opening Up a New Front - Firearms and 'Public Health'

    SilentStalker: I understand your dispair. But understand that we have come a long way in many areas. Concealed-carry has swept the nation. Black rifles are now normal and don't make most people uncomfortable (there was a time that even most gun owners didn't feel 'quite right' about them)...

    Gun Grabbers Opening Up a New Front - Firearms and 'Public Health'

    Exactly right. Step One: Establish the data through the CDC. Step Two: PR campaign to convince people that firearms pose an increased health risk, based on the data from step one. Step Three: Additional costs for the "privilege" of owning firearms. These will be in the form of...

    Gun Grabbers Opening Up a New Front - Firearms and 'Public Health'

    We've been winning it for a long time now. What you're having a hard time accepting is that the fight never ends. I'd rather not have to pay attention to these things either, but that is not an option. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

    Gun Grabbers Opening Up a New Front - Firearms and 'Public Health'

    I said that. What is important is that they are taking tangible steps toward that end.

    Gun Grabbers Opening Up a New Front - Firearms and 'Public Health'

    Link to Aticle - Wayne LaPierre: Junk Science Drives Administration's Gun Policies LaPierre's monthly NRA magazine article was very important. He described the most recent anti-gun executive orders signed by President Obama, including an order to (in violation of Federal law) begin the...

    What am I missing/ What should I add?

    I'd say the CM9 and the AR-15 should be next on your list. You definitely need the carry gun. After that, the AR-15 because... well, just because!

    .223 load using 55gr FMJ + SRM Primers + Reloder 15?

    Weird that this thread came up again, I was just shooting this load this past weekend. The CCI SRM Primers + 25 gr RL-15 + 55 gr FMJ-BT load is a functioning plinking load with no signs of pressure. It's also very clean (I think the magnum primers burn up more of the powder, leaving a pretty...

    Nightmares of Gun Jamming Up.

    A poster on another board asked a very similar question a few months ago, and copy/pasted below is my response. (Very slightly edited and highlighted in bold in some relevant spots) I am not a psychologist, but I do teach Psychology, and I know a little bit about dreaming and subconscious...

    $400 to spend: LCP, 10/22 TD or Aimpoint?

    I'd finish that AR, especially since you say you can't get ahold of any .22lr. I've got way too many guns laying around that I consider "almost done". Darn near every gun I own is still missing a holster or a light or a sight or ammo or magazines or something that I have put off getting for...

    Helper stole a gun, need advice

    I thought of something else that should scare the crap out of you (:banghead:) Many people have mentioned the irresponsibility of having a gun stolen and not reporting because "someone" may be victimized with that gun. But think about it... If she did give your gun to a less-than-savory...

    Helper stole a gun, need advice

    The only lesson this young woman has learned is that you will give her the benefit of the doubt when she does not deserve it. She has learned that she can play you. I won't be the least bit surprised if the next thread you start is about your entire collection being wiped out while you were...

    A term to replace "Assault Weapon" : "Modern Rifle"

    Control of the language matters. Too many of you dismiss these discussions out-of-hand. "Modern Rifle" is pitch-perfect, and is exactly the sort of phrase we ought to be using.

    The Official 2013 Panic "Walk of Shame" Thread

    This thread is a place to confess the ridiculous prices you have willingly paid for gun-related things since December. Maybe next time there is a panic we can look back on this thread to remind ourselves what it feels like afterwards... I'll be brave and start: Smith & Wesson Optics Ready...

    If Background Checks Are To Determine Eligibility, Why Do They Need…

    I am not an expert, but the extra information you refer to is kept on file, not run through the NICS system. It is kept on file at the gun shop for the police to use in case there is ever an investigation in which it becomes necessary to establish chain of custody for the gun in question...

    lima ohio gun store

    There are a few nearby. Try Ottawa or Findlay to the north. I think there is one in Celina to the southwest. Google "gun shop" and each of those towns and you can find each of their websites. All are about a 30 minute drive from Lima.

    Pelosi: "We're Not Just Taking No For An Answer"

    The system is corrupt because everyone wants control over the curriculum. I teach in Ohio, and the Social Studies curriculum is basically a laundry list of conservative beliefs, which is fine with me because I would teach most of it anyway. The problem is, when the Dems are in charge, they...
