    National Park concealed carry

    If I'm reading the new ruling regarding weapons in National Parks, I have to carry concealed. So now I've got a problem. If I hike in Jellystone or the Tetons, I'd like to carry my S&W 629 .44 mag. Currently, I have no way to conceal it. Does anyone have any experience with those goofy...

    Shooting game

    Hard, but fun. I got 22.9. I think. It's all in a foreign language, or else they're really bad spellers. http://www.tidningen.aland.net/se/scripts/jaktspel.html Sustained lead seems to work. Edit: Don't shoot the brown penguins. You lose points.

    Why isn't all ammo steel cased?

    I'm curious as to the relative advantages and disadvantages of brass and steel ammunition cases. I know that brass is reloadable, and easier to form than steel, but more costly for raw materials. What else? Seems like one would be better than the other, and we'd see all manufacturers...

    Grips for 342 PD?

    I've got a Smith and Wesson 342 PD Airlite revolver. It has rubber grips that "snap" into place. No screw holds them on. They are removed using a little plastic spreader tool to stretch them open. Are there aftermarket grips available for this gun? I'd like something that's not rubber, I...

    Can I take any gun to Chicago?

    Can I legally take any gun with me when I go to visit my sister in Chicago? If not a handgun, perhaps a shotgun or rifle? I'm from Michigan. I'll be staying overnight in Chicago, then driving back home. I've read the laws posted at packing.org, but I'm still confused. Thanks.

    Out of state long gun transfer

    I'm a resident of Michigan. My father lives in Ohio. If I understand GCA '68 correctly, if I want to give a shotgun to my Dad, I have to go through an FFL in Ohio. Is this right? (This would not be a sale; it would be a gift.)

    Question about Marlin lever actions

    I just picked up a Marlin 1894C .357 magnum rifle. Something I noticed and am wondering about: The trigger can swing freely back and forth, almost a quarter of an inch. It seems to function fine (haven't fired it yet), but it seems weird. I vaguely recall reading that this is normal...

    Airlite loads

    I just picked up a used S&W 342PD Airlite revolver (.38 sp. +P). Its amazingly light compared to my all-stainless Taurus snubby. Seems like its gonna be great for pocket carry. The owner's manual mandates the use of jacketed bullets only in the +P loadings, to avoid the bullets moving...
