    SBRGA - South Berwick Rod & Gun Association ALERT

    I just got an email from the SBRGA. Anyone here a member? Here's what the email said: SBRGA Notice to members - URGENT SBRGA Rifle and Pistol Ranges are closed until further notice, effective immediately. This matter will be discussed at the next regular meeting of the club. Thank you, SBRGA...

    It's been a while - The results of time away

    So my car broke down a few months ago, and about a month ago I got a scooter. But because of the design of such a bike, I felt that my ability to go to the range was legally questionable without a carry permit. The law here is that the gun and ammo have to be separate. You can argue on the...

    Two wheels, the road, you, and concealed carry

    Resurrection of the "Guns and Motorcycles" thread. I loved it. I want it back. So, show your bi-wheeled companions and your sidearm companions. I'll start, and you'll see why I changed things up a little. Laugh if you want, but it's fun to ride and I'll be modifying it to go faster as soon as...

    Neighbor's Illegal Fireworks - How's it affect me?

    My neighbor just tried to sell me illegal fireworks. He plans on "doing it big" on the 4th. Fireworks are illegal in the state of Maine. How's this going to affect me? I am not going to rat him out or anything, but if say I'm walking from my vehicle as he's doing his thing and the cops show up...

    Inebriated/drunk/alcohol/beer Home Defense

    I used all those terms because I searched them all to ten pages and found nothing. My question is, if you have been drinking, and end up shooting someone in personal home defense, where do you stand? I specifically chose home defense because it leaves the least amount of questionable red tape...

    Local non-political activism - Our Responsibility

    I'd like everyone who takes part in this thread to adhere to 3 rules: 1. Check McCain/Obama /Libertarian & other party discussion at the door. 2. No rally, voting, lobby, or protest discussion. 3. Think positive, and if you disagree with a statement or idea, approach it positively. We're all...

    Permit for CC in Maine problem

    It's been exactly 1 month since I filled out my concealed carry permit application for the state of Maine, and I just got it returned to me, including my uncashed check, with a note on the front saying: "You must apply at the York Police Dept" I called the DMV to see if my drivers license had...

    4 years of action

    Based on recent reports of the back-down by Democrats and Liberals from the Assault Weapon Ban because of the obvious political suicide that it would be, I see it that we have less than 4 years to change the general public's view of gun ownership and rights before the attack can take place at...

    Questions about reloading & safety

    I've used the search and done the research, and these are the questions that I still have (after an entire weekend of research) 1) 7.62x39 ammo seems very expensive to reload. Loads and casings appear to be running at 2008 prices for surplus rounds. That's EACH COMPONENT, minus gunpowder and...

    Should have joined this site earlier

    I hope that I do not come off as easily influenced or naive here, but I wanted to make a statement, and hopefully brew a constructive conversation, about what it means for a person (such as myself) with some introductory and evolving concepts, to enter a community uniquely large, very-fairly...

    The odd man out - Liberal Constitutionalists

    Even Google seems to have a problem with me (laughter/applause/cricket silence). Type "Liberal Constitutionalist" into Google search, and it asks if you really meant "Liberal Institutionalists". No, that's not what I meant. Here's my question, why does it seem almost exclusively black and...

    Hoppes #9 removes bluing?

    Well, I seem to have made a pretty bad mistake. The slide of my Walther P22 was looking a little greenish, so I figured I'd soak it in Hopps #9 overnight. Obviously (to some of you I'm sure) that was a mistake. This morning I pulled it out and wiped it down and now what used to be black is now...

    Beretta PX4 Type F 9mm Fieldstripping Q

    I just purchased the gun in the title, and have a pretty simple question. The manual instructs you to lock the slide back before unlocking the takedown lever. But you can unlock the slide without doing that. Is this a safety step built into the instructions, or will unlocking the takedown...
