    I don't get it. Neither will you.

    This example would be a little stronger if vehicles could be driven concealed (i.e. if criminals were able to drive without drawing attention to themselves by doing so). But it's nevertheless a great example!

    POLL: What kind of gun lube do you use?

    Breakfree, but for some purposes I use a grease as well (Berry Hill's Ultimate Gun Lube, discussed here some time ago). By the way, I only use it for lubrication. For cleaning, I use Pro Shot copper solvent.

    Bump in the yard 0545hrs

    What you should have done is this (IANAL, but it's what I'd do): - Stay in the house. - Call the cops and inform them that somebody is burglarizing RIGHT NOW. - Do not alert the burglars that they have been spotted - you want them to stay around and get caught in the act by the cops...

    Bump in the yard 0545hrs

    Yup, and it can get you killed. Happened here in WA, at Lake Sammamish State Park just a few weeks ago. Two groups of people chilling with spouses and children. A guy from one group starts taunting a guy from the other. The two get into a fist-fight. Somebody from one of the groups pulls a gun...

    Which setup for camping/hiking?

    For bears, you want a .500 S&W Magnum. Trust me. Alternatively, a 12-ga with slugs, but that's probably too unwieldy for hiking...

    Does your Gun Range allow double taps?

    Sure. At one indoor range, they allow "as fast as you can hit the paper. No misses!". On a couple outdoor ranges I'm not aware of any such restrictions whatsoever.

    Childish friends are really annoying me.

    Dude, these are not your friends. These are some acquaintances whom you rarely see to ride motorcycles with. Do you really want to associate with irresponsible people like that?

    "Assault weapons"

    Holy crap... No wonder they have disabled comments and ratings. I SO would have liked to "dislike" it, but alas...

    Do you consider metal detectors = No Guns (MI)?

    I also was patted down at a concert and the bouncer missed my GLOCK 19 IWB. I told him about it, though, and he was pretty surprised and looked pissed :-)

    Milsurp appreciation...

    Regarding guns getting hot, I think the sun is the real culprit. Sun shining onto black metal on a clear day tends to have such an effect on it :-)

    How close is you nearest HD gun right now?

    ... And now I'm in bed and it's within arm's reach.

    How close is you nearest HD gun right now?

    Well, I'm sitting in the loo right now, so I'd literally be caught with my pants down. But I'm on the third floor of my residence, so hopefully I'd be able to reach the gun readily accessible in the nearest bedroom if I hear any sort of break-in coming from downstairs.

    History Channel's "Top Shot" on Sunday night

    The show actually striked a good balance as far as non-shooting audience goes, in my opinion. My wife actually watched it with me without complaining once! If they were more history- or weapons-oriented, the result would probably have been me watching it alone after the first 10 minutes... If it...

    For those who think felons should never have guns...

    Too much stuff here to read but I thought I'd chime in nevertheless. I don't know if this particular crime is a felony or what the legal definition of a felony is. However, it is worth noting that the law doesn't say "felony" when it prohibits firearm acquisition or possession. What 18 U.S.C...

    Nashville's Answer To Looting and Shooting

    Speaking of drunks with guns, I'm typing this from a mobile phone so I can't paste a link, but look up "Double Shot Liquor and Guns Drive-Thru" - pretty hilarious, and it's a real establishment :-) There are some photos on the internet...

    Help! -calling all "glock"-sters

    I agree with Nuke. Looks like the guide rod is moving and rubbing.

    what would you have done in this situation?

    Grab a bat yourself and go help the adults deal with the punks :-) Seriously, though, I can't say for sure without being in the situation, but I probably would not interfere, precisely for the reasons others already outlined. Call the cops. The camera is a good idea, although I probably...

    Threshold for drawing a handgun

    About the disparity of force when being robbed - I'm saying that it might not be visible, but, depending on the situation, you might be able to assume it's there and act accordingly. Someone attacking you with fists and being of the same size or even smaller than you is tough. You know you...

    Threshold for drawing a handgun

    My opinion is that, to draw, you should later be able to justify your decision. You had a gut feeling you were in danger - that's fine, but there was actually a specific reason why you felt this way. Think about that in advance so that you know what you are looking for and be able to articulate...
