HARTFORD, Conn. – A 16-year-old girl thought she heard her mother being assaulted by her boyfriend and rounded up some friends who beat him up, only to learn later that the couple actually were having sex, the woman and police said. The girl misinterpreted the woman's amorous screams, and she...

I know from reading the posts here that a lot of TFL members have a bug-out bag, which includes a firearm (or two or three). The purpose of a bug-out bag, I take it, is to allow you to flee to safety on a moment's notice when you see the world as you know it is about to come to an end. If...

This from a press release issued by the U.S. Dept. of Justice: Hal Turner, an intermittent internet radio talk show host and blogger, was arrested today by FBI agents at his home in North Bergen, N.J., on a federal complaint filed in Chicago alleging that he made internet postings threatening...

I'm not sure if T&T is the right place for this question, but here goes: Assume two men in a fight, one with a fighting stick and the other with a knife, each equally skilled with his weapon. The fighting stick is, say, as long as a cane, made entirely wood and quite sturdy. The knife is a...

In this case, a masked man entered a bank, waved a gun, and yelled at everyone to get down. He then walked behind the teller counter and started removing money from the teller stations. He grabbed bills with his left hand, holding the gun in his right. At one point, he reached over a teller to...

I have an old Mossberg 500 barrel with an integral Poly-Choke. The choke was stuck, and I couldn't turn it. I tried my old standby, Liquid Wrench, which is a penetrating oil designed to loosen stuck or rusted bolts. I left it overnight. Nothing. Then I tried squirting some more and resting...

I have a T/C Contender with a 10" bull barrel. I bought it around 1982. The box says it is item no. 2303 and has a serial no. of 214xxx. Since then, I know that the Contender has a new model out. Will the barrels now being sold for current model Contenders work with my older model as is...

I showed up at the trap field one day without the bolt handle (or operating handle, as Remington calls it) on my Rem 1100 (forgot to reinstall it, and it was on the bench back home). It seemed to me that I should be able to shoot it without danger of gun malfunction once I retracted the bolt...

How do you guys clean the inside of the action bar sleeve on the Remington 1100? (The action bar sleeve is the hollow cylinder that is attached to the action bar assembly and it encircles the magazine tube. It is pushed back by the piston/seal.) I use 0000 steel wool to clean the magazine...
