So I'm scouting the web for ammo and find at Bass Pro a selection for CCI Tactical AR 22 LR ammo. What's that? It's not in stock but is it special for the AR 22 clones? Would it run in my tactical 10/22 - it does have a rail and red dot and looks somewhat tacky? :D Glenn

http://nymag.com/news/features/gun-control-newtown-2013-2/ Surprisingly rational article on firearms and why folks want them. Note for us positive presentations by nonconservatives on gun ownership - pointing out the NY'er that they are not the universe. Also, reasonable presentation of the LA...

Given the shortage of ammo - I wonder if that will discourage folks to compete at venues like IDPA. USPSA folks love to hose away but IDPA you usually shoot two and maybe three at a target - supposedly duplicating the real world (yes, I know :rolleyes:). But what about this - at a local match...

http://www.policeone.com/media-relations/articles/6103568-Vt-police-barred-from-gun-range/ The gist is that a local gun range is prohibiting police practice as the Burlington city council is considering a ban on guess what? I thought that a local city in VT couldn't override state law and that...

I'm reading a mystery. I think the give away is that a murder weapon is a military Beretta as compared to a civilian model. However, are the service guns marked in a manner to indicate such? I could google it but prefer to play guess the plot point.

There was a gun show on the drive path of my chores today so I thought I'd waste the seven bucks - was I correct! I think of all the tables only about three were classic gun tables. This is the first time I saw a giant table full of Egyptian cotton sheets! Mister Pen was there. Tons of cheap...

So far: 1. I like the Ruger SR45 2. I like the Glock 30S 3. The new Mossberg 20 Gauge shotguns for SD look promising for those who are recoil shy. See a new wave of 20 gauge SD ammo? That's what caught my eye so far.

That looks really nice - anybody see one? Tried it out. It's new but maybe you have. Here's a report: http://www.outdoorlife.com/blogs/gun-shots/2013/01/exclusive-look-rugers-new-45s-ruger-sr45-and-commander-style-1911 If it's $529 - that's a nice price but prices today are meaningless.

Treat your cannon as if it was always loaded. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/12/nyregion/antique-cannon-found-loaded-in-central-park.html You just have to laugh. It was a revolutionary war British cannon and when they went to clean it - it was loaded and ready to go. Obviously, no one should...

Just an observation - in some threads, I see folks throwing around psychological or psychiatric terms that are misused, obsolete or misinterpreted. If you want to claim someone is phobic - know what that means. If you want to use the term neurotic - that's quite out of style. If you want to...
