    Guns in Virginia?

    My wife and I are tentatively thinking about moving to Lynchburg, VA. How are the gun laws there? CCW? Shall issue? How about my AR? Glock 19? The rest of my gun collection? (Mostly older revolvers and a few 1911s.) Anything else you could tell me would be nice. (Political environment...

    Colt officer's elite

    My son asked me about one of these. I've never owned one. Can someone tell me something about them? I think they were discontinued? Faulty function? What would they be worth in, say, very good condition? thanx

    Why aren't there many used falling block rifles out there for sale?

    I've owned two (Brownings) and now want another. But they really don't seem to be very popular. Anybody else like them? If so, how would you compare Ruger to the Browning?
