    Is this experiment safe?

    My CZ 75 has had probably 650-700 rounds through it. No more than 250 have been shot through it without cleaning, but some of those were over 2 or 3 range trips. I'd like to test the reliability now. It's been 150 rounds without cleaning. It has never experienced a single hiccup. I'd like to...

    A reminder to DOUBLE and TRIPLE check a "safe" gun!

    Took my CZ out for some dry firing. I keep it in the safe loaded 16+1 so I took it out and cleared it. Muzzle down into the safe so the bullet's backstop would be the bottom of the safe and the dresser it's resting on down into the floor if it did fire. Only time I miss having a safety is for...

    Actually shooting your gun

    Today we were gearing up for a trip to the range. My dad's been running a little test with his 250 to see how long it will run dirty, but it's been about 300 rounds so he popped the upper off to inspect it and make sure everything looked OK. He put it back on, racked the slide back, and the...

    Pepper Spray

    After our last story about the panhandler I've decided to pick up some pepper spray for my girlfriend and I. She absolutely hates guns but has no problem with pepper spray and after some thinking I think it'll serve me better than a knife. I think I've made a selection on product: The Fox labs...

    Rimfire target rifle

    I've mostly been looking at practical guns lately but yesterday I shot some clay pigeons at 50 yards with a S&W MP15-22 and realized just how fun it is. I realized it would be great to have an accurate rile with no recoil that I can shoot at a low cost. I'd like to spend less than $400. I'll...

    Violation of 4th amendment right?

    This comes from a Facebook group I'm a part of called "Florida Open Carry" which is largely associated with Florida Carry, Inc. as far as I can tell. This photo I'm attaching shows a sign that says "bags and coolers will be searched for public safety". This is a public park and the rules are...

    Suspicious panhandler in the parking lot

    My girlfriend just texted me. She went to Walmart to get some food for a trip we're taking this week. As she got out of the car a homeless person approached her with a bunch of things he had made out of palm leaves. He started by saying "Miss, I'm not going to hurt you, I'm just homeless and...

    Pulling to the right on double action trigger

    I have a double action CZ 75 BD. I was doing some dry fire practice today with snap caps and putting a coin (a dollar coin to be specific) on the top sight and practicing trigger pull. I noticed that I could always keep the coin on during the first pull but not the second. the gun fires in...

    Friend retrieved stolen gun 3 years later

    My Facebook friend messaged me this story earlier. When he was 18, he was moving out of his parent's house. He had his AK in his car when he stopped by a friend's house for a few hours. It was stolen. Our local Sheriff's Office contacted him yesterday and told him they had received his gun...

    Interesting Call with Florida Carry, Inc.

    Last night I emailed Sean at Florida Carry, Inc. They're an organization trying to allow open carry in Florida as well as protecting peoples' gun rights. I believe they are the ones who took on the case of the veteran who had his guns (and bows) wrongly removed from him. I told him I was...

    Small of back holster for my dad

    We took my dad to look at some 1911's for Father's day and overall made the decision against them. He told my mom that instead he'd like a nice pair of boots and a back holster for his handgun. He has a Sig Sauer 250 Compact that he will carry as soon as he gets his CCP (Appointments were...

    Shooting in the rain

    I live in Florida. Here in the Sunshine state, it rains. A lot. Probably 5 out of the past 7 days it's rained and it will be like this for at least a month. This led me to question what all the competition shooters and others do when they have to shoot. Besides a gun being a big metal...

    Is this a fair comparison?

    I was just reading about the Santa Monica shooter and how mass killers tend to be suicidal people who want to be famous. I had the split second thought that instead of going after guns, we should pass a law requiring news agencies to withhold names of shooters. Obviously this would work about...

    Indiana Law legalizes shooting cops in unlawful intrusion

    http://rt.com/usa/indiana-shooting-law-state-591/ Basically the law says you are covered if a public servant unlawfully enters your house. I'm assuming this would cover warantless no-knock entries. They take care to clarify that this only covers very rare circumstances where you should have...

    I don't know why I bother with gun shows

    My family went to a gun show today. It was at a local elk lodge (nothing against the elk lodge) in a back room. It was like an after school meeting or something. $6 a person to get in. The first thing we saw when we got to the door were hand made reloads of ammo going for the same price (or...

    Woman shoots intruder during 911 call

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsvggjYRbL0&feature=youtube_gdata_player So this seems to be an old clip but my girlfriend posted it today. This woman was home alone when an older man she didn't know tried to break into her house. She immediately called 911. While on the phone they were...

    Florida Mental Health Gun Restrictions Pass Senate

    Something I am very PO'd about. Florida Senate Unanimously cleared a bill passing stricter mental health regulations on firearms. Stricter, in this case, not meaning smarter. Basically anyone who voluntarily decides to check themselves in for treatment can no longer own a gun. All this does is...

    Shotgun for turkey

    I posted a thread not long ago detailing my dilemma whether to hunt or not. My dad and I are going to go out, starting with fishing, so I can take my own food and learn to clean it and cook it. If I still feel I need to after that (I don't see any reason I wouldn't) I will take some hunter...

    Weird dream I had last night

    As I've said here before, I find it disappointing that there are no provisions for an 18 year old to carry a gun to protect themselves. An 18 year old is legally an adult, ready for the real world, and can own a gun, but cannot carry it in their day to day business. Last night, I had a dream I...
