I received my C&R about 5-6 weeks ago. As I remember (and sometimes I don't remember so good), there was a cover letter that said that I would be receiving another mailing with all the rules and regulations regarding the C&R. Still have not gotten anything. Are they supposed to mail out more...

Warning: The following may make you violently ill. Do not read immediately after eating. An HCI represenative was on Hardball on MSNBC tonight, talking about the Cal. school shooting. He said, "It wasn't what was in that kid's head that killed those students, it was what was in his hand." So I...

FYI: The next History Channel Tales of the Gun is about the Luger. Tuesday night at 11PM Eastern, repeated at 3AM for you nightowls.

The History Channel is running a show about the ATF-Troop in a few minutes (3PM Eastern). Should be good for a laugh.

I recommend a new novel, just out in paperback, called "Run", by Douglas Winter. That's "run" as in "gun-running". Check it out. [Edited by sigmund on 02-18-2001 at 12:55 PM]

My Sig Pro 2340 has rails on the frame ahead of the trigger guard that look like they should hold a tactical light like a Sure-Fire. I've done a lot of looking, including web sites for Sure-Fire, Botach, and Brownells, and can't find anything made for the Sig Pro. Any ideas? Thanks.

Just bought a Mossberg 500A (18.5" barrel, 5 rd. mag) for home defense. (Oops, I mean pest control. "Home defense" is not politically correct and might cause some liberal to have a stroke.) The only sight on it is a front bead. My feeling is that a ghost ring set-up would be better for "pest...

I've seen a few questions recently about time required to get a C&R (Collector of Curios and Relics) License. I got mine today (Jan. 8). Sent in the application and check on Nov. 18. So, under 2 months including the holidays.

A viewer on CNN tonight observed that no matter who wins the election, there are going to be a lot of job openings with the Secret Service. No one would be willing to take a bullet for either of these bozos.

The History Channel site, http://www.historychannel.com, is doing a little survey as to whether or not people favor more gun control. No votes lead by about 75% to 25%. (There has not been a call for a recount yet.) It's not going to change the world, but stop by and vote if you get a chance...

A little something of interest to get off the topic of the election for a moment. Just finished reading "Secrets of Street Survival--Isreali Style" by Eugene Sockut. Sockut lives in Isreal, and carries openly. He says that he gets a lot of static about this because he doesn't carry in a...

There didn't seem to be any place else to post this, and it does involve alternative force and close quarters combat. I was watching Tales of the Gun on the History Channel tonight; the topic was Japanese weapons of WWII. The Japanese never managed to develop an anti-tank weapon, so they came...

I have been hearing some interesting things about the use of pepper spray for personal defence. I'd like to hear any personal experiences with this product: 1. I am aware of three basic "delivery systems": spray, foam, and fogger. It seems like foam would be best because it would be least...

I have an S&W Model 12 airweight snubbie that has the bluing rubbed off around the trigger guard and other wear spots. Since I will not be buying an S&W in the foreseeable feature, I am thinking about getting this one reblued. Any suggestions about who does a good job in the Midwest, preferably...

I'm still not clear on the details of the S&W agreement with the feds, but it is very clear that gun dealers are not happy. I heard that S&W will not authorize dealers who sell at gun shows. Is that true? Every dealer I talked to at a gun show last weekend said that they are dropping S&W once...

I have several handguns, but am considering a shotgun for the ultimate HD weapon. Know very little about SGs. A local dealer has a Remington 870 Express Combo (2 barrels, a 28" choke modified tube and a 20" deer with rifle sights) on sale for $359. Questions: 1. Is this a good price? 2. I...
