Proof positive that stupid can be terminal, this young man tried to rob a gun store with a hammer. The way I read the article the owner shot him when he tried to take a gun. A hammer is deadly force but a gun is deadly force at range so it may be a solid case of SD here, but geez, how dumb do...

Several other pieces of legislation were passed. They openly admit the laws are unconstitutional and they are conducting a reconnaissance to see what will fly. This isn't really surprising for California. Note that the ban on carry in public is practically everywhere in public and a de facto...

I think we have all seen videos of shoplifting run complete amuck and into the area of organized crime. 500K rounds over six months is quite a lot. That would be 10,000 50 round boxes. Since Cabelas is expensive this is likely around $5,000,000 at retail. Kind of surprised they did nothing to...

Has there been any development of SA 22TCM Rifles? I couldn't help but notice the ammo is cheaper and more powerful than 5.7, with less recoil. These seem to be all good things but 5.7 gets all the press.

Serbia has the third highest rate of private firearm ownership in the world by some reckonings. At least it did until last week when the Government demanded a mass turn in of firearms. It is likely much higher due to all the weapons left over from the wars in the 90s. So there have been two...

I have an Extar EP9 that I was using as a trunk gun on my heavy cruiser to complement my normal 9mm pistol carry. It fits in the saddlebag perfectly. I recently had to remove the brace and it is now more difficult to shoot accurately at longer ranges, kind of defeating the point. I am thinking...

It's been almost 20 years and the factory sights on my Kimber 1911 TLE/RL2 no longer light up well enough for me to see them in low light conditions. New Kimber tritium factory sights are $162, but are a proven quantity. TruGlo sights on their factory site are $82. Strangely the same ones on...

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/she-fought-for-human-rights-on-a-tiny-island-that-banned-guns-then-she-was-shot-dead/ar-AAJGg4L?ocid=spartanntp I would expect crime to be low in a small community of 12K people. Not non-existent but low. A fascinating mix of state and non-state actors are...

I am curious. I hear quite a bit about how police are not well trained in firearm usage and don't practice much. For most of the police I know this appears to be untrue but "people I know" is hardly a representative sample. You do not have to identify your agency if you do not want to. Any...

Apparently in the last twelve years more than 1300 people have been killed by CHL holders. Well sort of. Of the 1300 more than 500 were suicides. There next claim is that around 500 cases were bad shoots due to the CHL being found guilty of a crime. This is curious as they often delete files on...

In this case the CHL was approached on the street by two armed robbers. They demanded his wallet and cell phone that he then surrendered. The robbers then entered a nearby barbershop and held a second robbery. The CHL entered the barbershop to stop the robbery and in the ensuing shootout with...

Guide me through the steps of ordering the parts for a suppressor and at what point the application for license has to be submitted? Currently I can buy everything I need for a new suppressor on line for less than $50 and put it together for free. I don't want order everything and then run...

Back in the early days the older family members that carried guns carried little wheel guns in leather holsters with snap tops in their waist bands. Shoulder holsters were a thing but most thought they were silly contraptions designed by and for police detectives. When I started carrying I...

https://www.foxnews.com/us/dicks-sporting-goods-ceo-says-company-destroyed-5-million-worth-of-weapons I'm only partly confused. I mean sure, good on them for throwing away millions of dollars on principal. But... I mean ok, if they are going to blame the gun then why not destroy all their...

So I have noticed that SCCY pistols have dropped below the HiPoint price point in bargain hand guns. Other than the fact that the SCCY pistols are much better looking, smaller and lighter I am trying to make some meaningful comparisons between the two. From anyone who has shot or owned both to...

I purchased an Extar EP9. (Not Sold in Stores!) On line it runs $439 delivered to your FFL. It is another semi-auto AR9 Style pistol that takes Glock Magazines and is blowback operated. It comes with a pistol brace mounted and has a QD receiver below the brace. There is a flat top weaver rail...

Has anyone else noticed a small surge in Colt rifle prices since they decided to stop selling to the civilian market? I own at least one so I am happy to see it but does anyone know why they would be worth a premium on the secondary market? The market is way over-crowded as is.

I will be visiting Colorado next month and wanted to make sure I don't run afoul of their magazine capacity restriction laws. I can't find anything that prohibits possession for out of state visitors of magazine greater than 15 rounds. Does such a law exist?

They decided to send a letter to the Senate. I don't know why the focus is on the Senate, I hear that there are "many" people in both parties that support these measures. Text of Letter...

Chicago - Gun Crime Sanctuary City? This articles implies that Chicago is the master of their own fate when it comes to gun violence as the laws are seldom enforced and offenders are given light punishments. Read more...
