    California Releases Personal Info on CCW

    The California Attorney Genral released a list of all concealed carry permit holders including names, addresses, ages. This was done as part of an effort at "transparency". I believe the information has now been taken down but is it possible the information was copied first. What groups might...

    Anyone Reading Jack Carr Books

    Just curious if anyone has been reading books by Former Navy SEAL Jack Carr? His books obviously feature a lot of firearms, but not just the military style you might expect. I suspect many who visit might enjoy and just thought I'd make a quick recommendation. https://www.officialjackcarr.com/

    Percentage of American Homes with Guns

    A friend stated that there were too many guns now and that accounted for the increase in violent crimes where a gun was used. While I realize there are probably more guns in total but are they really more accessible to the average person than say fifty years ago. I suggested that the number of...

    Remington Firearms Moving to Georgia

    Remington Firearms is moving their Headquarters, Research and some manufacturing to LaGrange, GA. I guess this is a win for GA and probably a better environment for Remington. Makes sense that firearms companies would relocate to firearms friendly States. Now, if we can just keep Georgia a...

    American Flag = Crime Target ?

    I've been considering putting up an American flag in front of my home for a while and felt 9/11 would be a good time. A friend told me I shouldn't do so since criminals target homes with American flags. Basically the logic is flags equal conservative and conservatives equal guns. So, I had...

    Firearms/Weapons License Renewal & the Pandemic

    Just curious what issues, if any, you all have experienced renewing licenses during the pandemic. In Georgia it is called a Weapons License and must be renewed at the County Probate Court. In Georgia the courts were closed for several months and my permit ran out. There was a three month...

    Loaded Gun - Switching Magazines - OK?

    Ok, I understand that chambering a round in a semi-auto handgun can potentially cause bullet setback. My question doesn't include removing the cartridge from the chamber only switching magazines. I often carry a GLOCK G26 with 12 round magazine. However, at home I might like to remove the 12...

    It appears that a Saturday Morning range fire in suburban Atlanta was caused by a tracer round. Bullseye Range and Gun Shop is located in the old town area of Lawrenceville, GA. While I have visited the gun store once I have never shot there, but I assume the prohibit tracer rounds like most...

    Magazine Storage - Containers

    Ok, I realize there are lots of options, but still curious how you folks store your magazines. I have a good problem in that I own a number of magazines for a number of different guns and would love a better way to store them. Currently they are all strewn between ammo cans, cardboard boxes and...

    GLOCK G26 Magazines

    I'm curious if anyone uses 12 round magazines for the GLOCK G26. Which brands do you use (GLOCK, Magpul, other)? How does it impact concealability? How difficult is it to load all 12 rounds? I’m inquiring because I’d like the additional capacity if there were no real negatives. I’m not worried...

    Found a Gun in Front Yard

    Ok, I'm doing my weekly yard work and while running the weed eater near the road I found a handgun. At first I thought it was a toy since it appeared to be a small version of a current gun. Upon closer inspection I saw that it was a Walther P22 with a laser mounted on the front. Since I didn't...

    The family of a student killed in the Texas shooting has filed a law suit against the shooters parents. The suit claims that the parents did not do enough to keep the guns away from the shooter.

    Atlanta Gun Rights Rally

    Well, apparently a group held a gun rights rally at the GA State Capital in Atlanta. I heard about it about a day or two before it happened, but not sure I would have attended even if my schedule allowed. The media reported that about 80 people showed up. As we've discussed before I'm not sure...

    Boycotts, Social Media & Gun Control

    A couple of yeas ago I expressed concern about social media and how it might ultimately impact the debate on gun control. As I said then many traditional news outlets may support gun control, but still offer at least some information from gun rights advocates. However, social media presents...

    HK VP9 High & Tight

    I’ve got a HK VP9 I’ve been using at the range for several months and really like the gun. I’ve decided to carry this gun and was curious if anyone could recommend a good holster. I live in a state where open carry is legal, but prefer to have my gun concealed. I also like to carry OWB with some...

    Carrying Personal Weapons in Military

    Ok, in the overall scheme of things I guess this really isn’t a big deal, but it’s just got me curious. Over the holidays I saw an old friend who brought along her new boyfriend. He was a former US Army Infantryman and had been deployed to Iraq. During our conversation he showed me his...

    1911 CCO

    I’m curious if anyone owns one of the 1911 CCO models and if you find it actually easier to conceal than a standard grip size gun. I carry a 1911 OWB and have no issue with the weight of the gun, but have noticed at times the butt seems to print a little. Are the CCO models really easier to...

    Internet Orders, FFL and Pricing Info.

    In the past, I’ve ordered a couple of guns on-line and when they arrive at the FFL they include a copy of the invoice which shows the purchase price. Once when I went to pick-up a gun the guys at the LGS gave me a hard time about the cost of the gun. Whether they were right or wrong it is none...
