Folks, I'm now an Alabama resident and long haul trucker. Right now the states of California, Oregon, New York and Illinois won't honor my AL carry permit (which I have) AND won't allow me to apply for permits in those states - I'm statutorily barred from applying purely because I'm an AL...

The gun location, draw stroke and speed are from the world of AIWBs... https://youtu.be/RWFif9d3k00 I've checked and no, I'm not sweeping my off hand. I built it for long haul seated comfort - as in, built in a semi truck for 11hrs-a-day driving comfort. It flings the gun up for a perfect...

Back in the dark days of the (first?) Clinton administration there were a series of cases in which feds (generally ATF) would buy a shotgun from somebody they targeted, have the "suspect" chop it to legal specs (18") and then they'd remove another 1/4" to make a bad bust. They'd chop 1/4" so...

Folks, I haven't discussed it yet but I am past my first year in earning a BS in criminal justice. Once I have that in hand I intend to go for a law degree. For the most part the CJ classes have been fairly boring, until a recent assignment in a class on criminal motivations came along, and I...

http://alangura.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/DCT_OPINION.pdf The main question left: will DC appeal this to the Supremes?!?!?! After all this wait...we even have language saying they cannot screw over non-residents (of DC)!

There's a better than 50/50 chance I will be in Afghanistan soon - as in days. Not in an armed capacity, at least not planned. I need good youtube videos or other data on the operation of long arms commonly found over there - AK47 for sure, probably SKS...hell, maybe even old Enfield...

http://www.ruger.com/products/newModelSingleSixSingleNine/models.html ...in the stock caliber, 22Magnum. This is the 9-round-capacity single-caliber variant Single Six. The .22Mag out of a 6.5" barrel is absolutely a reasonable personal defense round, esp. with the new Speer Gold Dot ammo or...

If we have a right to carry, how would that affect federal buildings including courthouses? Would the US Supreme Court building be forced to install gun-check lockers near the door similar to what Arizona, Washington and a few other states do now in state courts and other state/local government...

https://markforged.com Somebody correct me but...couldn't this build a Glock frame clone right now? It should also be able to print a "Liberator" class single-shot pistol with no problem at all, probably up to around 38Spl power levels. Such a critter will get cheaper in a few years. I can...

A small "wild and crazy" ammo house by the name of Lehigh defense may have come up with something useful to do with the 2.75" chamber length Judge/Governor/etc.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bLonprIWm4 Granted, the penetration from the 2" barrel variants isn't that much at 9" or so but the...

I wonder what others will think of this type of gas trap? I haven't shown any uses of the gas but there's all kinds of options. I'm planning to alter the gas trap on Maurice to match this design and at that point I should have enough gas for shell ejection and a compensator. Might actually...

Masterson was a legend - he was Marshall at Dodge City when Wyatt Earp was one of his deputies. He was at Adobe Walls when Billy Dixon made the most famous long-range shot of the era. Is his info going to be dated? Sure. But he's still worth listening to...

Folks, I'm looking for a weird load for a weird gun - Maurice of course :). I'm also looking at this bullet in particular sized .356": http://www.pennbullets.com/38/38100dbbwc.html Maurice is a magazine-fed and auto-shell-ejecting revolver. It started out as a Ruger New Vaquero in...

It turns out flashlights have become more powerful of late. My fiancee is dragging me all over Europe in a couple of months including flying in and out of London (ug) so...a flashlight seems to be the only practical answer. You can now get something the size of a 16oz soda can that packs 3,800...

Title says it all...we don't even have the initial ruling from Palmer, so...what's in the pipeline?

...in a motor vehicle crash: http://imgur.com/wz8kYNr (Note: image is VERY high res, better to view it on Imgur...) This cylinder is from a Ruger Old Model that was carried in the door pocket of a truck that was involved in a crash severe enough to rotate the chambers across the firing pin...

Direct quote (entered into their "contact us" web-form): --- I am considering moving to TX and will be applying for a CCW. I understand that in Texas, if you qualify with a revolver you are stuck with revolvers. My question is, what exactly constitutes a "revolver" over an autoloader? I ask...

Maurice the FrankenRuger is now a 9mm revolver. Barrel is a true .355" section of Douglas Premium barrel, cylinder is from a Bowen blank done with a Manson finish reamer and the final "long throats" were done with a chucking reamer in .3555". I used that reamer because I was getting mixed...
