With the news of Flight 93, I had initially assumed that many more people would understand the logic of self defense, and the concept that American civilians are the first line of defense against criminals and terrorists. I've decided I was naive. While many people do seem to have learned that...

Received via email. Interesting, controversial, and IMHO, appropriate consider the reality of our current war footing:

The free market is a wonderful thing. Just think what the landscape would look like if most of the industry followed the FAA shepherd, but Southwest Airlines immediately announced they were (1) arming their pilots, (2) strengthening cockpit doors, and (3) placing off-duty LEO's, military...

Want some "fun"? Call your favorite airline. Ask them what security measures they have undertaken. Put some pressure on them to give logical answers. "Sir, we're doing everything we can ...". "There is no safer time to fly ..." "We are following all FAA security directives ..." Ask them...

I decided to search around for other sources of data on these sad events, and came across some fascinating personal accounts and photo's. Let me offer the following links: http://dks.thing.net/WTCSurvivalStories.html - personal accounts...

Harley et al, where do you find serial numbers on old shotguns? Saw a Mossberg 195K-A and a Stevens 311A ... couldn't figure out where they would hide the serial numbers. But, some old firearms (even 20th century) didn't have serial numbers, did they? Thanks. Regards from AZ

Anyone know of a source for IMI 55gr .223 ammo? Cole Distr. no longer carries. Had a reputation for low flash, versus most other .223. Thanks. Regards from AZ

Thinking of buying a cheap SKS as a truck gun. Seems inexpensive enough so a theft wouldn't break my heart, it's a popular and capable caliber, and SKS's seem to be very durable. Two main questions: [list=1] Is it legal to equip it with a folding, synthetic stock? Would seem to be more...

1. Had a surprising experience ... had been using some gloves from Home Depot (supposedly made for working with toxic substances) for use in cleaning firearms. [I'd decided it was probably best not to get solvents, lead, etc. on my hands.] While they worked fine for awhile, this weekend I...

Hopefully that pot will simply continue to simmer, or more hopefully, finally begin to cool. But, I wouldn't bet on optimism right now. If war breaks out in the Mideast, what implications can America expect? Impact on the RKBA, firearms, ammo? Economic dislocations? ... seems like a bad...

Can anyone suggest a good source for such rifles? After reading "Marine Sniper" and "War of the Rats", I'd really like to learn more about this rifle, and what better way than to acquire and shoot one. Any other suggestions regarding the subject will be appreciated as well. For example, a...

http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/breaking/0808az-shootingban-ON.html Note that this has occurred after these forest ranger scumbags claimed they were seeking "public input" into these proposed closures. For those of us who have dealt with such bureaucrats in the past, we knew this was...

While the prices take a bit of my breath away, I am leaning towards buying one of these two for an AR. I want the AR to be well capable of long shots, as well as CQB. It is a flat top. I'm also considering an aftermarket rear sight for use on the flat top. If I've narrowed my search down to...

OK, trivia question. I ran across this term today, and was stumped at first. An old Navy hand filled me in, but I'm curious how many of you understand the phrase above. I was a bit fascinated with the answer. And, the first TFL member to get this one right wins ... absolutely nothing but...

I posted this in "The Hunt", and I normally would never post in two forums, but gee ... this will just crack you up. I just ran across this video while researching the .577 T-Rex (see http://www.accuratereloading.com/videos.html ). This is just too funny! :) ...

I don't know if this has ever been posted here, but I just ran across this video while researching the .577 T-Rex (see http://www.accuratereloading.com/videos.html ). This is just too funny! :) : http://www.accuratereloading.com/bear.asf Regards from AZ

I'm about halfway through this book (re: Carlos Hathcock), and it is raising a number of questions. I suspect I'll have more when I'm done. Hope you can help: [list=1] What is High Power competition? Defined by the cartridge or rifle, or both? 300 Win Mag was what Carlos used in the...

Sometimes I have a used mag that has suffered enough wear that I suspect it might rust under the wrong conditions. I know Robar will refinish them for about $20 each, but that seems a bit steep. Any other suggestions? These are usually rifle mag's. Since my firearm's most critical usage...

The left relies on the "obvious" so often. "More guns obviously cause more crime." "It is obvious that no one needs a gun." "Assault weapons obviously must be banned ... who needs an AK-47?" "Hunting rifles are fine, but it is obvious that no one needs a handgun." Obviously. I like...

OK ... noted the nearby thread re: PC and assault weapon registration in CA. Let's forget that specific subject for the moment, but ... I'd love to hear your creative responses to an LEO who wishes to search your home, car, person, etc. "Sir / Ma'am, may I have your permission to search your...
