    NJ - Schundler flips on CCW

    I am so disappointed. He looked good in every respect, and was with me on every major issue. What he had said (until now) was that he at best supported, at worst neutral on CCW, and would sign it, but would not push it since it's not popular in NJ. Fair enough, that's what the legislature is...

    Sniper vs. Sniper movie?

    Not the new one with Ed Harris. I saw one on the video shelf last year. I think it was brothers on opposite sides in Serbia or Bosnia. Anyone know the title?

    Is the "Saturday Night Special" issue a hill we're willing to die on ?

    This is not a troll, I've just been musing and would like some feedback. Whenever the subject of banning or otherwise controlling low-cost (usually low-quality) handguns is brought up, we argue that it's sexist, racist, economic discrimination, incrementalism, the camel's nose in the tent, etc...

    Books or online resources for combat handgun basics?

    Just got & shot my first - P95. I was brought up shooting all manner of air guns (rifles, pistols) and always shoot with my weak eye closed and my dominant (right) eye aligning the sights. I'm a good shot this way, but I get the feeling this is not exactly a practical or combat model. I've...

    Hunting with a semi-auto?

    Whenever I've seen articles on handgun hunting, it's always been with medium/big bore revolvers - .357, .41, .44 etc. Are there any auto calibers appropriate for hunting? On what type of game? [Edited by RH on 01-11-2001 at 02:50 PM]

    Is it possible to thread for a choke on a sawn shotgun ?

    I have an old 20ga Ted Williams (High Standard) pump gun with an adjustable choke on a 27 inch barrel. I've checked it out, and it really has no collector value, since it's not labeled as a HS, but as a Ted Williams. It is rather unwieldy for HD use in a small condo. A couple of smiths will...

    Question on gunshop protocol & manners...

    Okay, I don't want to be the subject of someone's rant about idiots here, so what is the proper protocol when shopping ? The clerk will give you the weapon with the action open (right?), and what is the customer allowed to do: - work the action ? - rack the slide ? - pump the pump ? - dry...
