Ok, I did a little research and thought I would see if anybody here has done this recently. It looks like my PA permit is good in FL, so I want to take a couple of handguns with me. My 9mm for open/heavy duty carry (if that is legal there) and my .380 for deep concealed carry. I am going to...

I was reading an article in this month's Guns and Ammo on the Charter Arms Bulldog Pug. The article stated that the Pug comes in .44 special and .357 magnum with a price of around $399.00. It struck me that that is what I paid for my SP101 in .357 magnum. Actually I think I paid $389.00 new...

I am a member of the AFT (American Federation Of Teachers) in Pennsylvania. I teach adults. Recently we got a security summary from the union citing deficiencies in security at the school. One of the items was that a teacher had seen a student with a gun in his briefcase and when the student...

I was watching a really old episode of "Leave it to Beaver" on TV land and Beaver went to a house where the owner had a lot of guns. Beaver was all excited to see the guns and could not wait to get back over there. Then something hit me. I never saw another episode of that show with a gun in...

One of the Kennedy women said that "the shootings in Virginia proves that we need more gun control". Ethel? I heard someone on the Radio say, "The number of people killed in a tragedy like this is usually dependent upon how long it takes someone to get on the scene with a gun to stop the...

Anyone know the legality of lending a gun to someone for ccw? I have let my future son-in-law carry my P3AT when he was out hiking with my daughter. His Model 10 S&W was a little heavy for hiking in the woods, but the reason does not matter. Is this legal? He has a PA ccw and owns his own...

I saw a disturbing episode of Cops the other night. Guy goes to another guy's house to argue about money owed. Home owner decides to protect himself with his .44 mag revolver. During the altercation the tresspasser throws something at the homeowner who flinches in response and sends a round...

When I was in electronics we would get a piece of equipment in that had blown a 2 cent fusing resistor. We would fix it and the stuff was as good as new, but we could not sell it as new. We would sell it for 1/2 price as factory refurbished. I KNEW those were a real value. I have been seeing...

My Ruger Mark III came tapped for a scope mount. My dealer recommended a red dot scope. I have never shot with one. How do they perform? Are they worth the money? Do they block the sights? What do they cost/ what is a good price?

I heard a good conversation on Guns and Ammo TV today. We all know what single action is. You pull back the hammer and the trigger releases it. You can not pull the hammer back with the trigger. There is another configuration called self cocking. In a self cocking gun you can pull the...

I had to send my Mark III .22 lr back because the slide would no longer disassemble. I think I made a mistake when I put it togeather last time and did not tilt the gun up when inserting the pin. However, that seems like a poor design. A gun should not self destruct because of a little...

Pistol Firing What do you think?

Revolver Firing What do you think?

One of our local TV stations was giving tips on how to prevent crime. I am thinking - carry a gun is a good idea. To my surprise, at the following website: Pittsburgh News Channel "8. Don't carry a weapon. You lose, whether you use it or it's used on you." There is no mention made of legal...

My son in law was sold on a Smith and Wesson model 10-5. We found a nice one with a 4" barrel at Cabela's in WV. Wooden handles. He gets it next week. Cost $325.00 plus shipping to a PA FFL plus the PA FFL fee, but it was the exact gun he wanted. He wanted one with a lanyard, the skinny...

Currently, in PA, you have a duty to retreat. I just heard on my evening news that the PA legislature is debating a “no duty to retreat” law. The counter argument is that murderers will now be able to argue self defense. I am hoping it passes. Anyone else heard about this?

I found an interesting statistic in the book Freakonomics. If you own a gun and a swimming pool, your child is 100 times more likely to die in the swimming pool than by the gun. Swimming pool death likelyhood: 1 in 11,000. Gun deaths likelyhood: 1 in more than 1,000,000.

:rolleyes: I do not know if you have seen this .600 caliber but here goes: .600 Nitro Magnum .75 anyone?:D

ccw in PA on state, federal and county lands. PA is pretty liberal on guns. We have a large hunter population and many square miles of game lands. My 23 year old daughter is going to go to a KOA campgrounds and is going to do some hiking. She wants to borrow my kel-tec .380 for hiking and my...

Well I have been threating to get a Kel-Tec .380, but now I went and did it. I walked into my local dealer's shop and saw 5 new Kel-Tecs and one of them was the chrome model. The price was $299.00 which was steep, but I was told that even if I ordered one it might take 3-6 months to get the...
