I don't know all the facts in this case (link)http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/07/us/falcon-heights-shooting-minnesota/ but let's assume for a moment that the woman is correct and the permit holder was shot while following the lawful command to produce his ID. What can permit holders do to avoid...

The UT Austin Dean of the School of Architecture is leaving, he says, because of the law permitting licensed concealed carry on campus. One of the concerns he mentioned in the NPR interview was that students sometimes get upset in his classes and might start shooting if they had a licensed...

I'm starting to load 44 magnum and I'd like to load a 240 grain lead bullet a bit warmer than 44 Special. What are your favorites?

Here is a link to the article. The gist of the article is that the reason we don't have the type of gun laws that would make us all safe is racism. Blacks die in highly regulated Chicago because racist Wyoming cowboys have lax gun laws. The author seems to be trying to ride the coattails of...

Yesterday, I took a low light pistol course held by Sparrow Defense. link There were three instructors and twelve students at the course providing a good student to instructor ratio. When on the firing line, we would shoot in two sections giving a two student to per instructor ratio. The...

I thought this might be interesting to look at in light of the recent interest in enacting gun control laws. The gist is there is no correlation between a state's gun laws and its homicide rate...

I recently had the opportunity to get a few hours of private instruction from Clark Sparrow of Sparrow Defense. The instruction took place at Athens Gun Club but he also has an outdoor facility in the Watkinsville Ga area. Sgt Sparrow is a deputy with the Oconee county Sheriff's department...

What are some good snake boots for women? My wife and daughter are interested in some protection against snakes. What boots work well for the ladies?

Is a medium frame or large frame revolver obsolete for concealed carry? Are there advantages a medium or large frame revolver might have over a semi auto? I like my J frames for concealed carry but does the medium or large frame revolver have a role in concealed carry? *Inspired by a thread...

I never owned one and I would like to get one for practice. What timers work for you? What features are must haves? What are good values?

What do you think about this? Should this man be able to build a homemade range in a residential neighborhood? It looks like his backstop is a pile of sand and some pallets. link to story

I got a box of CCI Blazer ammunition for Christmas and shot it today in my snubby .38s. If I buy factory, I usually buy brass case ammunition and had never tried the aluminum cased Blazer. Both snubbies seemed to like it as well or better than my reloads and shot groups that surprised me...

Since this the the 100th anniversary of the Great War, I thought we might discuss the small arms used. I once owned a G98 made in Danzig during the war and enjoyed shooting it but I don't have any time behind a period Enfield, Nagant, Lebel, M95 or other long arm used during the Great War. I...

Looks like the Maryland assault weapons ban and magazine capacity restrictions will stand. The judge cited statistics saying that the banned firearms and large capacity magazines were rarely owned but disproportionately used in mass shootings and in murders of leos. Will this be appealed...

There are a couple of recent threads in the Semi-auto handgun forum where folks have bought pistols on Gunbroker. I've never purchased a firearm using Gunbroker. For those of you who have used Gunbroker recently to buy or sell firearms, how did you find the experience? Did you get a good...

It looks like the Brady Campaign has filed a lawsuit to force New Jersey's AG to issue a report on whether a viable smart gun is on the market in the US. I don't know what will happen but it could mean that the New Jersey law requiring only smart guns be sold will be invoked.

My old 336 shoots high with the stock sights. Should I look for a higher front post or should I change out both the front sight and go to an aperture for the rear? Should I put a red dot or a scope on it? If you have any suggestions (including specific parts), I'd be glad to hear them.

I'm looking for suggestions on improving accuracy from an old kit gun I was given. It's a .45 caliber Kentucky style rifle with "Spain" marked on the barrel. I replaced the powder drum and nipple on it with one meant for a CVA sidelock but this involved drilling the hole larger and tapping new...
