So this came up in another thread. I have a CZ 75 BD police in 9mm. It is double action/ single action with decocker and no safety. 16 round magazine though I think there are some 18 rounders that don't extend below the base. So what kinds of competitions can I start shooting? I think it'll be...

So I finally got the much talked about CZ 75. I waited a long time and was very excited. My dad brought it home and the first thing he said is "I think you're making a mistake." We both love the gun, the weigh it feels, the quality of the build, the look, everything about it. I am very...

I just came across this video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeIHH0XEs6E I suggest you watch it if you can stand the way the guy talks. He has some pretty smart (although semantic things to say). Basically, he is drawing this line of reasoning: Many video games include detailed...

I've read that the best way to safe a gun is to not only look in the chamber, but stick a finger in and physically verify as well. I've always thought that, with the force the slide goes forward, it was a scary thought putting my finger in the chamber. I'm a musician and breaking a finger would...

Just a strange thought I had in passing. Has anyone ever thought of offering services as an armed babysitter? Concealed carry permit, complete (obviously clean) background check, etc. in addition to normal babysitting duties? I imagine you'd also want to be trained in things like CPR and...

Just read this and thought it would be worth a share. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/05/03/ted-cruz-challenges-biden-to-gun-control-debate/ It looks like Senator Cruz is calling Biden out on his whole "two barrels in the air" thing. He has invited the president to...

I touched on this briefly in another topic but thought it would do good to post here for in depth thoughts. I'm getting my first pistol soon. I've shot before but haven't had one of my own. When I turn 18 I plan to find the best way to keep a pistol in my car (it's legal here). Having it with...

After weeks of talking about it, my parents paid for a gift for me today. A CZ 75 BD police new in box. It came with the 2 magazines, a case, and trigger lock for $615 shipped. More than I would have liked to have paid for it but not bad in the current climate. It'll be shipped to my FFL and...

The other day, I was riding with the guitarist and singer in my band (driver and front passenger seat respectively). We were coming downhill in the rain and he didn't brake hard enough and we tapped the car in front of us. It was a tiny love tap, but a tap nonetheless. The passenger, a fairly...

So I know it is illegal for a person under 21 to buy a handgun from an FFL and that between 18 and 20 you can only buy from a private individual. However, would it be legal for an 18 year old to buy one through, say, Gunbroker, and have it shipped to an FFL for the necessary background check...

My dad's 40th birthday is happening in September. It's a little while away but I had a cool idea the other day that I've been thinking about. My dad was in the Navy in the early 90's and qualified with the 1911 among other weapons. He qualified the highest level/longest distance rank with the...

I'm wondering what the laws are regarding carry of a black powder firearm (specifically in my state Florida). The deal is I'm turning 18 soon. I will be able to have a handgun and have it in my car if I choose. However, until I'm 21 I won't be able to apply for a concealed weapons license...

This was asked by a friend of mine in an argument. He's pro gun but upset that the UBC bill failed to pass. I stated that I was happy. My reasoning was that it's ineffectual and, in essence, violates your second amendment and works on the promise of making you prove you're innocent (rather than...

My mom and I run a zombie merchandise and paraphernalia company. We have some wonderful zombie designs and the rights to use them. I believe we have vector files of the images so they can be blown up. I would like to take these and put the two zombie images on them. As well, I think we could get...

I'm 17 and I've never hunted in my life. I've always eaten mass produced meat and once in a blue moon ate a fish I caught. For the longest time I was against it personally. I didn't care if other people did but I never considered it an option for me. I didn't think it would be something I...

I've tried to look up the old Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) to find some research on the market, but so far I've only been able to find Browning's new line named the BAR. I'm looking for the one they produced that saw use during World War II. I'm curious what the automatic ones go for on the...

So I was having a discussion the other day with somebody and I came to the conclusion that I would be willing to entertain a compromise for certain gun laws. Not one of these "Why can't you compromise and only use a 10 round magazine" gun laws. For instance, I think doing a universal...

I stated a while ago I'm looking at a CZ 75 BD. There was a great price on a new one but it's gone now. I'm looking at between $520-$600 for a new one or $400 (buy now) price from a seller selling 2 used. They're rated fair to good. "The bore looks good but needs a brush run through. Includes...

So, the filibuster was ended today by a vote of 68-31 http://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/headlines/20130411-ted-cruzs-filibuster-effort-fails-to-kill-gun-control-bill-in-senate.ece 19 Republicans crossed party lines to vote down the filibuster. However, the point the article makes is...
