    Alabama Senate to Debate Omnibus Gun Bill SB 286 20 May

    This bill does a whole lot of nice things but has some issues that are being debated within the GOP ranks. Bill is widely expected to pass. Currently Alabama does not issue permits to non-residents. Permits are good for one year only and must be renewed annually for a charge (my county is...

    Trampling the First Amendment

    Two interesting news stories this week that if true show an abuse of power by the current administration in violating the First Amendment. The rules of political scandal are simple: - Act Surprised - Deny all responsibility - Make counter accusations The first case centers around using the...

    AR-308 Scope Mounting

    I am getting more into long range shooting lately. I have a Bushnell Elite Tactical 6-24x50 Matte Mil Dot Argon Rifle scope which I am mounting on my AR-10 style rifle with Picatinny rail. The rings I have are Burris and for a Weaver rail. I plan on pushing it way, way out there. Questions: -...

    Turkey Makes "Most Modern Combat Rifle in the World"

    Essentially an M4 clone made in Turkey. I wonder if it will be available for import or the gun makers will negate the competition through regulation? http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkey-produces-first-domestic-infantry-rifle.aspx?pageID=517&nID=46350&NewsCatID=341

    Surprise Active Shooter Training

    Does anyone else think this is a horrible idea? In my home state teachers are allowed to carry if they have a permit. I am certain that some of them do. I could see this ending in tragedy. Read more...

    Shotgun to the Face of Unarmed Man - Proper

    Pro Gun Rights Billboard Angers (some) Native Americans

    Let's take a look at it: There is some strong truth right there. The reason for the anger seems to revolve around the perception that the issues with natives were gun based (they were not of course). Gun control was just a way to try to control the population...

    During a Manhunt for a Terrorist Half of All Non-Owners Want a Gun

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/04/23/fox-news-poll-during-manhunt-6-percent-voters-want-gun/?intcmp=HPBucket I thought this conversation worthy. I think the 12% of negative respondents of gun owners did not understand the question. I am curious about a few things. Do you know many...

    The Dangers of Lack of PID

    We have all heard of "buck fever". Police and military members experince something similiar when presented with something that looks kind of like, but not exactly like a target we are looking for or a possible threat. We react and hope it is all ok. Sometimes it is not ok. I don't know if...

    Sig SP 2022 Tac Pac - I have fallen

    On the Semi auto pistol side I have always been either a Glock or 1911 type. That has all changed. When I saw her, the brazen hussy hanging out in the back of the display case at the local gun shop all dressed out and accessorized like a contracting mall ninja on the FOB. Rough callused skin and...

    Rusty Python

    1- The LGS has a Python for sale at a reasonable price. It is blued and along the top (and only the top) there are a number of places of corrosion. I was wondering if there was a relatively easy way to fix this (short of stripping and rebluing the whole gun), or if it just explains the...

    Leon Saved Me $45

    To celebrate gun appreciation weekend I stopped in Anniston. It was like Walmart at Christmas time. I was looking for a partner for my other service grade that I had purchased several years ago. I wanted one that would be a bit nicer looking (not an old oil drenched stock) for display purposes...

    Fox News Changes Course Backs Gun Rights

    Poll results independently orderd by FNC are in that show people favor more guns over gun bans by a two to one margin. Lots of other interesting resullts too. Apparently most are not interested in more gun control. The cynic in me says a lot but on the plus side there are nearly a dozen pro gun...

    Saving Money Through Stockpiling Ammo

    Some things I have learned over the years. If you choose not to reload and you choose not to stockpile ammo you are pretty much left to the whims of the political fancy of the markets and secondary resellers. By planning ahead and thinking through what your needs and desires are you can save a...

    The Media Still Does Not Get It

    Deliberate obtuseness I say: http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/01/16/16544310-why-gun-groups-say-no-way-to-assault-weapons-ban So according to the article gun groups don't want to ban guns becuase they are fun to shoot and it won't stop mass slayings. Clearly someone does not understand...

    What did the VP Discuss with Walmart?

    I am curious. We all know that the VP met with Walmart executives about gun control. There have been no announcements from Walmart about any changes in gun policy I think. Was any press release made on this issue? I have been unable to find any recent press releases from them other than a...
