Under Obama we won't be able to buy guns, or ammo so think about all of the money we will save! Of course our taxes will be higher, but since I will likely lose my job when the economy tanks under Saint Barack, taxes won't be my problem at all. Of course maybe I'm exaggerating. He told us that...

I couldn't find Cor Bon 380 auto at any local shop, so I ordered 1 box on the Internet. With shipping it came to about $35 for a box of 20! Is this ammo really so special that it is worth paying more than twice what I paid for Speer Gold Dot?

I took my new Ruger LCP to the range tonight and fired it for the first time. It is LOUD! It also is not a very comfortable gun to fire. I used Hornady ammo and Speer Gold Dot ammo, a total of 90 rounds, two boxes each, and the gun fired flawlessly. I found I was consistently shooting low, even...

Last week an old friend and his wife visited for a few days. Like myself, he is a retired Army officer and Vietnam war veteran. His wife owns a small business and he is now fully retired with grown children and a stake in the future with grandchildren, just like myself. But his hatred for our...

I haven't seen much on this or other forums about this small .380 Ruger. I had a chance to hold one in a gun shop recently and was amazed at how small but solid it felt. I have had good luck with Ruger semi's before; my P97DC has been totally reliable. But a previous small gun that I had (and...

I was at my local MC Sports yesterday buying ammo and talking with the sales staff. They stated that this has been by far their biggest year for gun sales, and lately their ammo sales have been going through the roof. Some of it might be the expected price increases on July 1 for ammo, but two...

The IL House of Representatives passed a bill adding new reasons that can be used to revoke a FOID (FIrearms Owner Idenfication). Without a FOID card you cannot own, buy a firearm or ammunition. Most of us put up with this seemingly simple requirement because we have no choice, but now the...

I recently received my Smart Carry holster and I finally think I have found the solution to concealed carry for those who hav a bit more of me around the middle than they would like to have, where an IWB holster just doesn't work, and other solutions that require you to keep your shirt outside...

I find that most IWB holsters are too uncomfortable for me to wear, and the "man bag" that I own may be a dead giveaway that there is a gun inside. I was looking online at the Smart Carry holster, and it seemed like a good solution since it keeps the gun in the middle and lowdown, and likely to...

Several years ago I bought (at a considerable cost) a new S&W 640 as a concealed carry gun, not being aware of the internal lock that S&W had started putting in every revolver. I have never had a problem at all with this gun, but the various comments about the lock issue and the general dislike...

I previously owned a Kimber Ultra Carry, but despite several trips back to Kimber, I never could eliminate FTE and FTF problems, at a frequency that made me unhappy to use it for anything but at the range. But it was a very accurate gun, and a beauty to hold and look at. I'm asking the...

“The ultimate determinant in war is a man on the scene with a gun. This man is the final power in war. He is control, he determines who wins. There are those who would dispute this as an absolute, but it is my belief that while other means may critically influence war today, after whatever...

On the NRA site today was an article about the number of handgun permits increasing in Nebraska in response to the mall shootings. I was not aware that in that state you need a permit just to buy a handgun. Here in Illinois we have no carry law, we have Chicago as anti-gun as anyone could...

You might want to go to townhall.com today and read Thomas Sowell's column. He has some interesting statistics from a NYC police study on handgun accuracy in real life shooting incidents. It might reflect how different it is shooting on the range versus a dangerous adrenaline filled situation...

Former Gov. Mike Huckabee is a hunter and strong 2A supporter; as strong as Ron Paul and without being thought a "crazy" like Ron Paul with his Nazi and Ku Klux Klan associates, but surprisingly there seems little interest on this or other pro-gun forums for him. I don't know too much about him...

I just read about this in First Freedom, and I can't believe a caring mayor would limit himself to trying to ban young people from owning guns. He claims he wants to cut down on violent crime and a high murder rate, but his solution only addresses crime with guns. Why not stop all crime with all...

The most recent issue of National Review discusses what most of us already know; the NRA is the only gun rights organization that has any clout in Congress, and is the only one feared by those who otherwise would openly seek more gun control. With membership down from the high point during the...

I've owned rifles and many handguns, but I think I would like to get a shotgun to keep at the ready for home defense. Looking at the selection in the gun store, it appeared that I have at least two choices of moderately priced guns to choose from: The Remington 870 and the Mossberg 500. Any...

You might want to go to MSN.com and click on the featured article on gun owners. You'll see a display of photos of families who own guns, with audio of them explaining why they have guns, how they feel about guns, etc. Gives a pretty nice view of gun owners as just regular Americans, who like to...

When traveling in the summer, wearing only a t-shirt and cotton shorts, I thought of getting a fanny pack for concealed carry. But the ones I saw in the gun shop all are so obviously for a gun that its tantamount to open carry. Regular fanny packs are too flimsey to hold the gun even remotely...
