I'd be interested in a peripheral issue: other sources of law. One of the things I've seen time and again in discussions of the second amendment is statements that "the Constitution is my carry permit" or some such. I've studied other sources of law. I even passed a test about them once upon a...

If there is one here, I'd like to hire a criminal defense attorney who is licensed in Washington State for research into self defense situations. If there isn't one, I'd like a referral, if that's possible. Thank you.

I thought it might be handy to start a thread in which any attorney who wished to do so might list his or her credentials. I'm not an attorney. I'm trained as a paralegal, but I'm not working as one.

I posted this to Pax's thread "Instructor Ethics 101", and she asked for it to be a separate thread. To me, it is very definitely an ethics question; there are a couple subtle points involved: whether an instructor perpetuates some rather ugly stereotypes about women and guns, and whether an...

Note: I started this thread in response to another thread, where this post would have been off-topic. ---------- I teach five handgun classes: Intro, Basic, Advanced, Defensive and Advanced Defensive. I could go on all night about curriculum. There is no standard, as demonstrated by the NRA...

Reading another thread on another board, in which the original poster apparently wanted to avoid working up a load for a new weapon, led me to ask: why would someone want to avoid working up a load?

What is the finest handgun ever made?

Has anyone bought or used a Ransom Rest? I'm seriously considering buying one, and I'm curious about their use. Are they large? Heavy? Hard to set up? Hard to use? What benefit did you get from using one?

I'm interested in how you test .45 ACP loads. I'm interested in accuracy. I'm not sure I care about velocity. So, you've got your 1911. You've chosen a powder, a bullet, brass and a primer. You've looked up a starting load. You know what the max is. Now what? Do you go out and shoot 300 of...

I just stepped up from Berry's to the Hornady 200 C/T jacketed SWC. (They call it "Combat/Target") :rolleyes: I was surprised to see that there was no listing in the Hornady manual for this bullet and Bullseye. They use it for the 185, but not for the 200. Surely folks load bulleye and the...

I've never seen this type of jam before. It happened with a 1911 with a Wilson 47. Suggestions?

Okay, a beginner's question. Why would I care how fast a load goes, other than making power factor? I don't play any of the gun games, I never have to make "power factors". So why would I care about velocity? If it hits the target, it hits the target, and if it doesn't, it doesn't. In...

Thank you very much for the new Body Collar for my Square Deal! Since the only thing you're getting out of this transaction is reputation, I wish to do my part to enhance that reputation. Now. Do you suppose we could see some models with black hair? :D

I've started to like Precision Bullets. Up to now, I've primarily used Titegroup with Barry's plated bullets. I recently heard a theory that Titegroup burns too hot, thermally, for lead, and actually melts the base of the bullet. What do you guys think about that theory? Will VV 320 do the...

What's the difference between handloading and reloading?

Just got back from the range. My local supplier was out of Federal 150s, so I ended up with Winchester WLP's. I also changed powder, so I started over with a minimum load, and loaded fifteen rounds of two minimum loads, and headed to the range with thirty rounds. Out of thirty rounds, four of...
