    Those truck/car console vaults

    Anybody have one? Where from, is it any good, what brand/model? Was it worth it/do you use it enough?

    PACER

    Is there a primer on how Pacer works? There are two "Answers to Complaint" in a SAF suit I've been keeping an eye on, and to read them I apparently need a Pacer subscription. But the various pricing options, and footnotes about fees being waived if you incur less than $15 a quarter in charges...

    Gun Safe, Hole in the back with pink showing, and electrical power.

    We picked up a Sports Afield SA6040P (and that P is important we found out) from Costco on the very cheap. The P however meant that it didn't have an electrical outlet and USB (that none of us really cared about) inside. There is, however a perfectly round hole at the bottom right of the back...

    Smith and Wesson X Frames and holsters

    Will they share holsters? Or do the dimensions change too much? Finding a holster for a lefty who wants to mount a scope over 8.375 inches of barrel is harder than I would have thought. One nylon choice if they don't share. Galco has a nice holster but it's strangely right hander only. At...

    The Big Washington I-594 Thread: Direct all questions and concerns here

    I-594 is pretty much the bill that failed in the Senate right after Sandy Hook, with a few alterations for the State level, and a few less exemptions. My question for the legal scholars who follow firearms law and cases- how likely is it to survive competent (i.e. SAF or NRA not Embody-esque)...

    If you were flying next month, which airline?

    I've got plans to fly back to Iowa for a family visit. Grandma has a birthday, and my Uncle has a bunch of trap throwers, and some pheasant. That means I want to fly with a long gun and a couple pistols. That means a big Pelican case that most airlines consider over-sized if they're sticklers...

    How liable are you for other's actions?

    I was discussing the October DC car chase/shooting and I started wondering about something... Who is to blame for the injuries sustained by the officers or general public in a pursuit like this? One officer hit a barricade and had to be air lifted out. Can a fleeing suspect be charged with...

    A new take on self defense...

    CNN has dash cam footage of an assistant English professor being arrested for jaywalking and having it take a fairly horrible turn. I was especially interested when I heard she's claiming she kicked the uniformed officer in the shin after she was cuffed "in self defense". Can one of you pros...

    UBC's and Spats

    The beginning of this discussion started here and it was closed for wandering off topic of the original post, but Spats offered to continue the discussion in a new one, so here is the next part- Well that get a little further afield than the "it can work without registration" window I was...

    Got my first issue of my NRA magazine today.

    And it made me wish I'd have picked No Magazine. I was really hoping for something better than Bloomberg Bad, Vote Gun Rights! The best article was just an excerpt from one on a web-based magazine here I picked "America's First Freedom" If you picked something else and got better results...

    Looking for somewhat hard to find...

    I'm looking for a kydex based inside the pants holster that can be customized for a 1911 with a CMR-201 laser. I mean I feel like I'm bashing my head against a wall here. Crimson Trace itself has links to some but not many for non-1911's. I've found a source for a leather based one. The only...

    Found 16 pounds of RL-15

    And between two of us we picked up six pounds. I found four pounds buried behind rl-22 and 25 in a little mom and pop shop in Arcadia Iowa, and while driving home we saw a freeway billboard for precision reloading, and Precision said he could shake loose up to 12 pounds. I checked the website...

    If carry is a right-

    Assume Peruta and/or others make their way through the court system, the Supreme Court takes a case (eventually) and decides that carry (in some fashion) is indeed a right (and incorporated against the States) what happens then? In states with unlicensed open carry, likely nothing, I believe...

    NRA, Tax Law, 990 Forms

    Is this 990 Form for the (basic)NRA, all of the various NRA organizations together, or some subset of them? I don't think it's the PVF as the lobbying line reports $0. There is some "Legislative Action" in Part III 4c.

    Pelican Case for optics.

    My brother is looking to stick a Vortex 20-60 x 60 (or 80 not entirely sure which) spotting scope, the tripod, and a small pair of binoculars in a Pelican case. Does anyone have experience doing this? Which sizes/models did you end up using? The main dimension is probably the tripod at 22ish...

    NRA announcing a win in Jane Doe v Wilmington Housing Authority

    Here on the NRA-ILA website they've issued a press release that Jane Doe has won her case and provisions in the lease agreement for these housing authority apartments requiring tenants to agree to not keep and bear arms was unconstitutional. If this summary is incorrect, I would hope a J.D...

    Making your own range bag from Molle system

    Started picking up various surplus stuff with multiple interests, a quasi bug-out bag, backpacking/hunting, and a range bag big enough for my brass catcher. Picked up an ILBE set for hunting/backpacking. Found out the assault pack was too small for for the CTK Brass Catcher I own (19x14 or so)...

    Another Open Carry arrest lawsuit

    The story itself is a little too police bashing but the video itself is revealing from the beginning. The Operator/Dispatcher was especially "entertaining" for lack of a better word. I had to smile while listening to them explain the legality. ETA the rest of what I was thinking about it, as...

    Shotshell reloading, and empties.

    Does one tumble/clean/treat/etc once-fired shotshells? CAN one do so? If so, how? I don't think SS Pins is the way to go, so I'm assuming vibratory tumbler? I haven't found my shotshell press yet, but I'm starting to try and save my empty hulls until I do. But I don't want to leave hulls...
