    Is Basing Choice of College on Regional Gun Laws Foolish?

    Go for the Scholarships! As a fairly recent graduate I would put more of my focus on the schools that are offering scholarships. Graduating debt free (or as close as possible) is almost as good as getting a better paying job when you get out. Not being bogged down with a student loan payment...

    Why can you buy a longarm at 18 but a handgun only at 21?

    I think Wal-Mart only asks "For a pistol or rifle?" for .22 LR. If you're 18 and own a Hi-Point Carbine, you are SOL.

    .38 Super for protection

    I'm not arguing with either of the above quotes. However, if they are both true, and they probably are, must users of the .38 Super be concern with over-penetration? Even with JHP rounds?

    Why do some people get hammer bite from 1911s?

    I'm curious about this as well. I'd like to add the question of whether blood is drawn from the slide grabbing skin or from the hammer actually poking into the hand?

    44 Special, need input.

    If you really want a .44 special, I would recommend getting a .44 mag revolver to shoot them. You've already said you're not trying to conceal it so why not have the option to shoot either the special or the magnum (which you can already reload for). I don't really like the idea of trimming...

    what calibre for bulls?

    KenWP not trying to call you out or anything, but the .44 mag didn't do it? Were they light loads?

    Looking for a good 'car gun'

    Just tossing the idea out there...don't hate me. They do make 12 gauge bean bag rounds. http://www.keepshooting.com/ammunition/speciality/bean-bag-round-shotgun.htm I'm thinking from a legal standpoint, it may make you seem less vicious (if you're in Jersey or New York). Although I don't...

    I've gone through a lot of handguns...

    Well if it makes you feel better I've recently bought a handgun (Kel-Tec Pf-9) that was unreliable and was pretty much only good for taking a loss on. Seeing as how I'm still only 21, I imagine it will happen again. Are you set on getting a couple of Ruger revolvers? I can respect someone...

    Handguns as Groomsmen gifts

    I like the NAA Mini idea, but has anyone brought up how there is the cap and ball NAA Mini option: http://naaminis.com/naac&b.html...

    Anyone ever tried shooting up R/C Cars?

    While a shirt is a good idea, I think if you're picking up a crappy rc car/truck it might not go fast enough to allow enough wind to catch the shirt. Perhaps a balloon on the PVC pipe?

    Marlin 336 vs. Saiga 7.62

    I think the 336 would be more humane when harvesting deer/bears. I can see the Saiga as a better range gun, but you mentioned hunting. Here in PA two things put a negative on purchasing the Saiga: 1) You can not hunt with a semi-auto rifle 2) 7.62x39mm is becoming more expensive As far as...

    Home defense shotgun storage

    I'm not a fan of the locking rifle rack. Padlocks can be picked pretty quickly. But a safe is going to require some prying with a crowbar. You can bolt down a safe in the corner/side of a closet where prying becomes more complicated for a potential thief. As for easy access, I'm pretty sure...

    I bought a Taurus PT709 "Slim".....

    This situation reminds me of the Kel-Tec Pf-9 I had. I was able to have K-T send me a new extractor instead of me sending in my pistol. Maybe Taurus could do the same for you. I hope everything works out for you because no one wants their semi-automatic to turn into a single-shot. Also, I...

    Dillinger's Derringer

    I'm sure just about all of his other firearms would be nicer choices...But since I can't swing the $95,000, I guess I'll have to settle for renting the new Johnny Depp movie when it comes out.

    Dillinger's Derringer

    I thought this was an interesting article. Sorry if this was already posted by someone else. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090726/us_nm/us_dillinger I wonder what his Thompson could fetch at an auction.

    O/U Dont like'em

    Wow a lot of O/U hatin' going on here! :uhoh: Is the O/U considered a gentlemen's gun because of its popularity in skeet/trap shooting? Are clay pigeon shooting sports considered gentlemen's games?

    Who Needs Gun Magazines Now that We Have Forums

    I stopped buying the magazines when I found out they have the same articles on there websites for free. I've gotten to the point where I would much rather read a book on the throne than an overpriced advertisements.

    Become A Weapons Manufacturer?

    I would recommend going the gunsmith route if you want to go into business by yourself. However, I don't think you would need to know everything about the gun-making process if you want to slowly get into the weapons manfacturing game. Perhaps you and a couple of your future classmates could...

    Best way to store a gun in the car

    I'm not trying to repost what ArthurDent has already suggested, but on Cabela's website it appears to offer both a keyed lock and a combination lock version of the Secure-It Handgun Safe...
