So, I read the attached article which basically details how people are obtaining Virginia no-resident permits via an on-line training source. So, initially this sounds good since it allows people to obtain permits for use in Virginia or that might be accepted by other states when they travel...

I went with a Buddy to look at handguns last Saturday. Anyway, he called this morning and said he has decided to get the Beretta PX4 Storm Sub-Compact in 9mm and wanted my opinion. I was a little surprised by his choice, but admit I thought the gun was kind of neat. So, I know Beretta is a...

Ok, forgive me ahead of time I know this is a little vague and wide-open. I just purchased a Colt LE6920 and would like to add some type of “optic” to the gun; but must admit I am a little overwhelmed by the choices. The gun has a rail and the standard AR15 type front sight along with a Magpul...

I was in a LGS discussing buying an AR. He suggested I build one and ran the numbers showing how he could provide the components saving several hundred dollars. Anyway, during the discussion a legal issue came up and I was curious if the general consensus here would match the shop owners. He...

Ok, several years ago I sold my Colt AR15 and have long regretted it. I decide to get another one and started shopping around today and need some input. First shop I ask if he has any Colt AR15s his response, “why would you want a Colt?”. The guy goes on to tell me that the quality has dropped...

Attached is a link to a sort of puzzling story about three masterminds who attempted to rob a gun store during early morning hours. The owner lived in an apartment behind the store and responded with an AR15 equipped with a 30 round magazine and proceeded to defend his store. One of the robbers...

The Atlanta Journal Constitution is hosting an on-line debate about gun control. While Georgia is pretty gun friendly as a whole there are a lot of anti-gun folks around the city of Atlanta. When they have had these debates in the past I have been amazed at the number of people who have no...

I saw this on another forum apparently a Texas gun shop owner went on a local radio station advocating for the end of on-line ammo sales. He seems to have dual motives of pacifying the anti-gun crowd and improving his business. While I realize gun owners are a diverse group and have differing...

So, I go to purchase a new gun today and when I completed the form I did not include my social security number. As we finish the transaction she tells me they need my social security number for reporting to the city police department. I was a little bothered by it, but went ahead and gave it to...

For some unknown reason I have lusted for a few years over the GLOCK G26 & G27. I think my willpower is failing and I may end up getting one in the near future. So, I would love some input: 1) Would you buy the G26 9mm or the G27 .40S&W? 2) How do they compare to the new S&W Shield models...

I was considering purchasing a copy of the “Blue Book of Gun Values” and was just curious what those who have used the book thought of it. I realize it is just an aid, but do you find the information fairly accurate? I am particularly interested as it relates to used guns. Do you find the...

The Federal appeals court in Atlanta has upheld the State of Georgia’s prohibition on the carry of guns on Church property. Judge Tjoflat wrote, “The Second Amendment argument that the preacher and GeorgiaCarry.org made, to destroy one cornerstone of liberty — the right to enjoy one's private...

I have heard that the magazine follower can damage the frame on aluminum frame commander model 1911s. So, I assume there is some truth to this, but how common is it? Also, what circumstances make this more or less likely to happen?

http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/los-angeles-woman-shot-1467656.html A couple of visitors were traveling on an Atlanta Interstate when the wife was shot in the face as she drove the rental car. They maintain the incident was totally random and that they did not know the attackers. They also...

Just curious if anyone uses safety glasses that fit over their regular glasses while shooting? I was thinking about giving this a try and was curious what brands of glasses seemed to work best. In the past I’ve had prescription safety glasses, but they are just too out of date to use anymore...

I just returned from shooting my Ruger Mark II Government Target model and I had four rounds that did not fire out of a total of 200. The marks on the cases that did not fire seemed to match the ones that did. The ammo in question was Remington, so it was decent quality, I guess. The rounds that...

I got a call from a friend this morning and his question seems simple, but I freely admit I don’t know the answer. Anyway, his brother purchased a used gun that was apparently manufactured when magazine capacities were limited to 10 rounds. However, there are 15 round magazines now available...

Often I hear people say that a President can not restrict gun rights because the Congress would never pass these laws. This is always used by firearms enthusiast who vote for an anti-gun candidate for the White House. I personally have always accepted this and felt pretty comfortable that the...

I own a Springfield Armory GI style 1911 and would love to get a replica military style holster and belt for it. I must admit I am not really knowledgeable on exactly what was used in various eras. However, what I would like is the leather style flap holster with a web belt and magazine case. I...

I have an H&K USP .40 full-size model and really have enjoyed shooting it the last few weeks. The gun has proven reliable, accurate and with very manageable recoil. The only minor issue is that I just don’t seem to have as good of a grip on it as I would like. I have slightly larger than...
