    Need help understanding celebrity "Accidental Discharge" scenario...

    One of my anti-gun relatives sent me this story and it just doesn't make sense to me. Here is a link to the article: http://www.etonline.com/news/183932_former_eagles_member_wife_lana_rae_meisner_found_dead/ First of all, the use of the term accidental discharge is obviously incorrect here...

    Gun-ownership near schools in KY

    I'm considering purchasing a home in Louisville, Kentucky. A major concern, before making an offer, is whether being near a school will prevent me from owning and carrying guns on my property. Can anyone advise me on the relevant legislation that could affect my ability to exercise second...

    One wounded after 9mm bullet ricochets off Armadillo

    http://www.unilad.co.uk/articles/man-accidentally-shoots-mother-in-law-after-bullet-bounces-off-armadillo/ I have to say, I'm kind of blown away that a 9mm bullet could ricochet off of an armadillo. Am I just not appreciating how hard these animals are or do you find the reporting suspect...

    Dear TFL, please talk me down from buying a SW 5906

    Dear TFL, There is an acceptable amount of money in the bank account and the fever is strong. I'm so nervous that these guns are going to sell out that I'm worried about even posting this thread. Part of me is afraid I won't have another chance at buying on of these fantastic and increasingly...

    CZ-70 vs CZ-83 to collect

    I've been seeing these listed on SOG recently. Both guns are listed as Good to Very Good condition. The CZ-70 is $200. The CZ-83 is chambered in .380 and is $270. The FFL and shipping will add almost another 50 dollars. I plan on literally just cleaning the gun and tossing it in a ZCORR bag...

    Usage of the term "accidental discharge" by Public Officials...

    The purpose of this thread is not to discuss the socio-political ramifications of police shootings. There is a plethora of better forums and threads in which to discuss that subject. However, there is one aspect of recent police shootings in the news that has troubled me on a purely firearms...

    Pocket Holster for USP Compact?

    Lately I've been messing around with pocket carrying my USP Compact 40 in Cargo Pants. It actually fits quite comfortably but the IWB holster is just not ideal for a pocket draw. But I haven't had any luck finding an online retailer that sells a pocket holster for the USP. All I could find at...

    Need help identifying this tiny gun that seems to be a PPK Variant...

    I was trying to look up if there were miniaturized versions of the PPK platform and came across this image: What is the gun at the bottom of this picture? It looks to be almost like a miniature PPK but I can't find info on any such gun existing. Is this just the .25 ACP version of the PPK or...

    Talk me out of buying a Mini Draco (AK Pistol)

    I keep seeing this Mini Draco for $745 on Southern Ohio Gun and every time I look at the ad I want the gun even more. Something about a backpack sized AK is just so tantalizing. Some of you might consider that garish, and it is, but there's no denying that it offers something really unique, and...

    Question about the terminology used in police manhunts...

    TFL might not be the right place to ask this question but I've recently become curious about this subject and have been unable to find any answers. I know there are many LEOs and Criminal Attorneys that use this forum so I thought some of you might be able to answer this question. Basically...

    First LCP, wow this magazine has to be inserted HARD!

    I just bought an LCP at the gun show today. I'm starting to love it already. It's just so tiny and lightweight. I can already tell that this is going to be my favorite carry gun. However, I have to say I'm a little surprised by how HARD the magazine has to be inserted to seat itself in the gun...

    Ruger LC9s: 1000 Round Range Report

    Hey folks, long time TFL lurker and first-time poster here. I posted this range report on another forum (not a gun forum) and then I had the thought that maybe TFL would have some opinions about an edited version of the range report. Full disclosure. I'm a relatively inexperienced gun owner...
