Ok, no real surprise here as Ms. Couric is very anti-gun and made the documentary not to “have a conversation” but to push her agenda. However, even many who agree with her position are criticizing her methods. For instance in one scene she ask a group of gun rights advocates how you stop felons...

Ok, I’ll admit I haven’t read every thread, but I’ve read several. I see folks using everything from Crisco to bacon grease to lube their black powder guns. While I don’t dispute the effectiveness of any of these substances I would prefer something I can buy specifically designed for this...

I’m curious what you folks recommend for .45acp self defense ammo. While I’m interested in specific brands I’m also interested in things like bullet weight, +P yea or nay, overall cartridge design, etc. Also, I have a few .45s, but for the sake of this post I’m primarily concerned with a modern...

I was at the range shooting a 1911 and only had six magazines, so several magazine reloads were required. I was using an UpLULA loader and thinking what a great invention this thing is. So, this got me thinking what might be some of people’s favorite firearm/shooting accessories. I’m primarily...

Went by a LGS the other day and they had a used SIG P226 DAK 9mm for sale at $560. I’m mainly considering the gun as an addition to my overall collection and for some range use. I’ve owned double action only guns before, but never a DAK. So, a few questions: 1) What should I know pro or con...

CNN is reporting that Obama will announce new Executive Actions on gun control next week. As expected he plans to add additional background check requirements by expanding the definition of who is in the business of selling guns. The article sounds as if Obama’s minions are really working the...

I’ve got a friend who is a manger for a major retailer. They have a guy who shops there several times a week while open carrying a handgun. My buddy is a gun owner and supports a persons’ right to carry. The store has no policy on handguns, but would prefer that the guns were concealed. The...

Ok, I realize it may come down to personal preference, but I am still interested in your opinions. I’m considering the purchase of a new 1911 probably in the $1000 to $1300 range. Initially I was pretty set on a Colt XSE, but have recently been looking at the Dan Wesson Heritage. On paper they...

I received an email today featuring magnets designed to hold guns and/or magazines under desk. It reminded me of a discussion I had with a friend sometime back about these items. He told me to avoid them because continued exposure to a magnetic field might cause changes in the metal. He went on...

I heard some folks discussing survival guns yesterday and the debate was less about caliber than the best model. Everyone seemed to feel the .22lr was the best choice in caliber and some type of break down rifle for the actual gun. So, my question, why the .22lr? It seems a mid size 9mm handgun...

Ok, had a friendly disagreement with someone concerning a sign at a local range and wanted a little feedback. A local indoor range has sign posted that reads, “No Loaded Guns or Magazines”. I told the guy behind the counter that I understood the ban on loaded guns, but didn’t understand the...

A friend called and told me about an estate sale in a local neighborhood which included a few guns which she thought I might want to check out. So, what the heck, I drive over to take a look and they had a few old hunting rifles and one S&W Model 19. The handgun was priced at $750 which I felt...

Looks like Senators Manhcin and Toomey are planning to revive their gun control efforts. Right now they’re apparently strategizing to see what kind of bill they could gain support for. The article in the Washington Post states, “Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) are...

When we see media outlets running stories about gun control even obviously anti-gun outlets like CNN will run some version of both sides. While they may challenge and berate gun rights supporters and let obvious lies from their anti-gun guest go unchallenged at least they offer some version of...

Jim Cooley went to drop his daughter off at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. Mr. Cooley decided to exercise his right under Georgia law to carry a firearm into the unsecured portion of the airport. What got a lot of attention is his choice of firearm – an AR15 with drum magazine. Again...

In Georgia there has been an ongoing debate about Campus Carry. The Atlanta Journal is running a couple of pro/con letters along with a Poll. Yes, I know these polls are unscientific and mean nothing, but hey why not vote just the same. Anyway, if you’re so inclined take a moment to read the...

The ACLU is reporting on a plan by the DEA and BATFE to use license plate readers to monitor attendees at local gun shows. The DEA is stating that this was only a proposal and was never actually implemented. The ACLU states that checking random license plates against a “hot sheet” is acceptable...

As many of you may know last year the Georgia legislature passed legislation that restored many firearms related freedoms. Well, true to form anti-gun crusader Vincent Fort has submitted Senate Bill 49 to repeal the no duty to retreat protection for Georgia citizens. Yes, I realize this Bill may...

In the South Carolina Legislature two Bills are being proposed that would require schools to include a Second Amendment curriculum teaching not only gun safety, but also gun rights. One supporter state Rep. Bill Herbkersman, R-Bluffton said "I think having gun safety education in the schools is...

On News Year’s Eve 2010 four year old Marquel Peters was attending church with his family. A bullet from celebratory gunfire came through the roof and killed the young boy. Atlanta Police are seeking a federal grant to fund a system which they believe will allow them to triangulate the...
