Just saw this press release from Ga's AG, Thurbert Baker: http://www.ganet.org/ago/press/press.cgi?prfile=PR.20021210.01 The reciprocity list on the bottom of the release is a bit incomplete, as both Utah and Alaska now recognize Ga permits even w/out formal agreements.

Seems she had an issue with some teenage prowlers and resolved them herself. Wouldn't recommend pursuing folks like she did, but good for her. http://www.coxnews.com/newsservice/stories/2002/1213-HOGTIED.html

An Earth Liberation Front (ELF) faction has claimed responsibility for torching a US Forest Service research lab in Pennsylvania in August. I have friends at this facility and have spent some time there, and very little of their work is related to timber cutting. Most interestingly, about...

I'm looking at a S&W 625-6, 4" barrel, that's obviously had some trigger work. I think I could get it for about $370, which isn't too bad. It's very smooth both SA and DA, and feels a bit "light" in DA. My question is, how do I tell if this was a job done right, or if someone was overly...

Earlier this week, when I picked up the locked duffle bag in which I put my locked guncase from the baggage conveyor belt, I found that the D-ring and attached webbing to which I had locked the zipper had been ripped/cut completely out of the bag. Inside, the latches on the case had been snapped...

I was watching an early-60's episode of Leave it to Beaver last nite, where the plot centered around an erstwhile uncle of Ward's who'd come for a visit. He was telling tales to Wally and Beaver about shooting grizzly bear in Alaska among other things, and asked Wally if he liked to hunt and...

I'm trying to choose among a 10/22, a Marlin 60 an d a Marlin 795. I know that there're lots of gizmos for the 10/22, expensive large cap mags are available, etc., but I don't know much about the Marlin 22's. I'm thinking stainless/synthetic, which means either a 10/22, Papoose or 60SSK, but I...

I'm going to be attending the big Auburn auto auction over Labor Day weekend, and I want to make sure that it's legal to carry while there. I can't find anything in the IN statutes that says one can't carry at public gatherings in IN (which is prohibited here in GA). And, there's nothing on the...

Lever discouragement of the dog: what the term "decocking lever" translated into from an Italian website using the Translate function in Google. Apparently, the spelling of "hammer" (cane) and "dog" (??? canis ???) are somewhat similar in Italian. The pistol I was looking at also had an...

Saw one of these for sale today, but I can't find any info on CZ's site. It's basically a standard size 75 BD in most respects, but it's marked "CZ 75 BD Police" on the slide, has tru glo tritium night sights, and comes w/2 15 rd mags. Price was $449, which seems pretty good relative to the...

I have this problem on a couple of pistols, where you can either line up the 3 dots or the top of the front sight with top of rear sight, but not both at the same time. It seems to be the worst in my Glocks, and POI is definitely registered with the 3 dots - aligning the sight tops results in...

Well, BB guns actually, but it's still a pretty favorable piece. http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/062101/spo_0621010038.shtml

I been going thru short periods of highs and slumps the past few months, and it seems like loss of front sight focus is the 1st to go. This is invariably followed by loss of trigger control, flinch, etc., within a couple dozen rounds. Unfortunately, it always takes me a while to realize what's...

I'm going to need (right) shoulder surgery in a few mos. and am facing a few weeks in sling, 3 mos. until full movement and 1 yr. to full strength. Prob 6-8 wks til I can shoot at all with strongside hand, maybe more. I shoot rt hand (also rt eye dom), but am left-handed in abt 60% of...

Any recommendations for something that will minimize printing and stay put while drawing my 642 I've tried out Galco and Hume models in stores, but they are a bit wide for jeans. I like the looks of the Kramer (but have not had opportunity to try one), and a fellow I know has carried a Thad...

I bought a used CZ 75B w/black polymer finish for $275 this weekend that was part of a pretty sizeable collection being liquidated from a guy who's having health problems. Many of his guns were unfired and all were mint condition. This CZ appears to be one of the unfired ones. It was still in...

When I disassembled my Sig 229 for cleaning after a range session last nite, one of the coils near the center of the recoil spring was about 2x it's normal diameter, heavily flattened, and a couple of the individual wire strands that comprise the spring were broken. I can see how the enlarged...

Has anyone seen this ammo for sale on any of the (other than LEO only) commercial sites? I bought some at a show a couple of weeks ago, and have the place ordering some more for me, but I can't find it too readily. It shoots really well out of my Sigs, and if it is/was(?) good enough for the...

Having previously been a once-per-year or less shooter, I started regularly shooting (and accumulating) handguns abt 8 mos ago. After several bumps, detours and lessons along the way, I've arrived at the point in the last 6 weeks where I shoot 2-2.5" groups (2 hand, off-hand) at 25 yds...

Does anybody know what the bronze-colored coating on the inner reciever side-walls and some other reciever parts on the new 336M is? I didn't notice it when I bought mine at a show last weekend, and I'm curious. I'm picking up the box and manual from the dealer tonite and I hope something is abt...
