I've heard some people say you shouldn't shoot modern 30-06 loads in an M1 Garand. I recently purchased an M1 Garand and the seller had a number of loaded clips with military ball ammo. I don't know if I'll ever shoot all of it. But if I were to need more ammo, do I need to, or should I, buy...

Not that this affects me, but I have often wondered what the laws are regarding a felon married to a non felon and whether the non felon spouse can "legally" possess a firearm in their home, since the felon is not allowed to be "in possession" of a firearm. I'm assuming some states may have laws...

I recently purchased a used S&W 66 revolver in 38 special. The gun is in great shape and shoots well for a short barrel revolver. However, one of the cylinders has an issue. When trying to eject the spent rounds, 5 of the cylinders virtually allow the spent rounds to drop out with gravity. The...

Not according to an article by John Lott, published on June 10th at Fox News. Here's the link: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2010/06/10/john-lott-america-gun-ban-murders-multiple-victim-public-shootings-europe/ It seems that Europe experiences about the same amount of mass public shootings...

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/fbi-crime-stats-show-an-armed-public-is-a-safer-public/ This link is to an article that discusses the numbers from the recently released FBI 2009 Crime Data. There are some graphs and charts. The main points discussed are the increasing sales of firearms with a...

They've just had 12 people killed and some more wounded in the UK by some guy with a shotgun and a .22 rifle who drove around shooting people, some at point blank range, at more than 30 crime scenes. The shooter belonged to a gun club, so more than likely, the guns were "legal" under UK law...

My Comcast.net news blurb had this little nugget: These must be some of the dumbest terrorists in the US. Everyone knows you can go to any gun show, which is nothing but an arms bizarre, and get any guns you want, without even going through a federal background check. What's with these...

Many news sources are reporting on the highly increased purchases of firearms and ammo since Obama was elected. I did my part. I killed two birds with one stone so to speak. I just purchased a new Remington pump .22 rimfire for my son who turns 12 in January. This will be his birthday present...

Here's an intersting article about the weapons that criminals use to shoot or shoot at, LEO's. http://www.policeone.com/writers/columnists/force-science/articles/1243754/ This is very interesting, though most of us here probably know that handguns are the weapon of choice for criminals and...

Moderators Note: This "side" discussion has been split off the main Heller thread so as not to have to delete the posts or close the thread. Antipitas In the US today, we seem to have a large number of people, typically democrats, who believe that our personal safety and security should be...

So Jesse Jackson thinks Obama is talking down to other blacks with his faith based initiatives. Jackson said he wanted to cut Obamas nuts off. Wow! Jackson immediately apologized after this was made public by Fox News. Jackson claims he didn't know the mic was on when he made the comments...

I must have read five articles already that have focused on the use of guns and why the decision in Heller will ultimately endanger more lives, outside of any criminal misuse of firearms. What is the new bogeyman? Suicides! The anti's are quickly jumping on the bandwagon to trumpet how the...

Here's an interesting article by George Will regarding crime rates and incarceration rates. http://www.townhall.com/columnists/GeorgeWill/2008/06/22/a_surprising_story_on_crime A Surprising Story on Crime By George Will WASHINGTON -- Listening to political talk requires a third ear that...

In 1998, Massachusetts passed some of the most strict gun control laws of any state and they would love to convince other states to do the same. However, their success is not what they would have people believe. While this data does not contain the information, their licensed gun owners went...

So lets see: INS should have gotten rid of both Malvo and Muhammed based upon the input from the border patrol, who had the goods on Muhammed smuggling illegals into the country, and that Malvo was here illegally. The BATF had a chance to shut down a potentially shady gun dealer (150 firearms...

In the area where I live in MN, there is no way they will grant you a CCW permit, unless you have a job as a armored car guard, or other private security employment. I was thinking of a plan just to twist the nipples of the Sheriff. I wanted to bounce this off of you folks to get inputs on...

I don't know how we would get this going on a national level, but I think it would be good to have a national "Take a Kid to the Range" day. In my land of 10,000 liberals (and lakes) Minnesota, the state has a take a kid fishing day, in which adults who do not have a fishing license can fish as...

Chuck Schumer and Ron Wyden (sp?), both US Senators and both Democrats, don't want to force people to show a photo ID or drivers license to register to vote. Why not? They claimed that this would severely restrict those who vote my mail. Maybe so. Is there a bigger picture here, however? In my...
