I'm not an expert on rifles, hope this doesn't sound too dumb. Took the kids to a Memorial Day ceremony held by our local American Legion. I was pleased to see more people than some years. Shooters did the 21 gun salute with rifles that looked like M1's to me, but they manually cycled the...

NRA and Grass Roots NC both held gun rights events in Charlotte, NC recently, at the Charlotte Marriott, City Center. During the events, the manager had all the hotel entrances posted against firearms. As anyone knows, this instantly put any armed guests at risk, for carrying guns in a posted...

Redirect me if this has already been addressed. As near as I can tell, police officers in most areas can carry off duty, only right, but can also drink alcohol while carrying. How does that make any sense whatever? Citizens in my state cannot even carry in a place serving alcohol whether they...

I have been corresponding with a guy from South Africa who may relocate to the USA. He asked me about my state of North Carolina, gun laws among other things. As near as I can see online, a legal resident alien has nearly the same gun rights as a citizen. I did see that a ccw permit requires...

I don't think I've seen this on TFL before. I'm seeing a lot of criticism of NRA from my state level organization and from national organizations such as GOA and NAGR. NAGR is a recent arrival; I haven't been able to find much on them. Anyway, they all accuse NRA of too much compromise...

I haven't seen another post similar to this, someone redirect me if there is one. My daughter informed me tonight that she supports more gun control. Seems their civics class discussed GC the other day and the teacher showed the class that he could go online and order a firearm that would be...

Cheaper than dirt has a .22 speedloader with 8 15 round tubes. Also has one that looks like 10 rounds. If I can find tubes, I want to make my own for my 18 round Marlin 60. I'd like to sell them if I can make a good product. Does BATFE require a license to sell accessories of this nature?

I haven't seen this on here before. Last month's America's First Freedom magazine had an article about an armed ship's captain who had used guns to deter pirates. Had info on why the shipping lines and maritime officials didn't want armed crews, etc. Seems a no brainer to me. Sirens and water...

My father in law has a tear gas pistol, made by Lake Erie Chemical Co. Straight cylinder, about 10 inches long, 3/4" diameter. Has a thumb trigger. He didn't know what it was, was given to him by someone. I looked up the patent # from the gun on Patent Office website. I'll post a photo when I...

I have an old .410 Stevens single barrel. I foolishly tried several years ago to drive out a hingepin with a totally wrong tool, a center punch. Punch slipped and made several bad gouges/scratches. Can a gunsmith fix this kind of damage? Any estimates of price?

Didn't Mossberg use to offer a package of a pump 12 or 20 guage with standard stock and pistol grip? I think I use to see it on their website, but do not see it now. Seems like it had a 20 in barrel. Would be a good purchase for someone on a tight budget, would offer good HD and be some use for...

I am active in my local GOP party. We wanted to have a turkey shoot this year and I was asked to locate a facility. Every place I asked refused us. Some were athletic clubs, civic groups, etc. But the worst part is, I made requests to 3 gun clubs in our area and was refused by them as well. One...

Stopped by a gunshop in eastern NC. Signs posted against CCW and loaded guns. Other signs advertised CCW classes. I inquired and was told they have a range and can't allow loaded weapons in, as a clerk has to inspect weapons before range firing. Well, these are gun people. Can they not trust a...

Is anyone from England or Canada? Does anyone have family there? I may be invited to speak at a conservative meeting. Among other things, I'd like to inform on the situation in the UK. I can read and watch Youtube clips, but I'd like to talk firsthand to someone there and get their thoughts...

Saw a double barrel pistol in a pawnshop the other day, out of town. About 12 or 14 inches, owner said .41 and/or .410 I think. No trigger guard, double hammers & triggers, similar to the derringers we see around. Shiny black finish. Looked ok, not sure I'd want anything w/out trigger guard...

Has anyone seen a shoulder holster for S&W 442 snubnose, hammerless? I've checked several websites and called offices, nothing yet. Could be vertical or horizontal.

Anyone know a source for a belt holster for RG10 revolver? Yes, it's a cheap gun, but I didn't buy it for serious work. Just need a cheap holster for cheap gun.

I may start looking for old .22's to buy and fix up. Weren't old bolt actions the most versatile, some would fire lr, long and short, right? Would they also fire shotshells?
