Do FedEx drivers understand the meaning of the word "Explosives"? Actual contents were two pounds of powder in two jugs. Not sure if it was a political statement, an attempt to see just how explosive the contents really were, or just plain lack of concern for someone else's goods. Come to...

From a (fairly dated; 2006) Army Graphic Training Aid: APPENDIX G - M16 RIFLE (5.56MM) Unloading and Clearing Procedures 1.) Orient weapon in a safe direction (Clearing container if available). 2.) Remove the magazine from the weapon. 3.) Attempt to place weapon selector lever on SAFE. 4.)...

I'm another all of the above except "no" (and competition). I'll add that the vast number of options and accessories adds to their attraction. They are a familiar platform and easy to maintain.

If I said to an abolitionist I had six guns they'd say I had six too MANY. Thanks for keeping it classy.

This time we didn't. Gov Scott was the first Republican Governor in many years. Now he's stabbed us in the back.

What part of my comment above gave you the impression I was under an illusion of being spared? What we all should be concerned with is the possibility of a Federal AWB. If that happens your next relocation might involve learning another language. Take a knee, 'Train, we're on the same side.

Vermont didn't pass constitutional carry. It had been part of the Vermont Constitution since its inception. After two centuries Vermont is experiencing a constriction of rights that previously existed unfettered where in NH and ME obstructions to the RTKBA are being removed. I'm not saying that...

Been there, done that. Got my 6.5G upper from Radical Firearms years ago and it was a 5 or 6 week wait but they warned me up front. Great rifle; very accurate.The only down side to it is finding ammo. Mostly shoot reloads.

Don't know that I'm any of the types in the video. Probably a little of a few of them (sans housewife, hipster and selfie guy) from time to time. My ball cap does have a good curl to the visor but that comes from over 30 yrs in the military (some habits don't die and I don't think I want that...

I agree, good shooting. I've always said a lousy day at the range (e.g. forgot to bring targets or ammunition for one of the firearms) is better than a good day at the office. Nice looking pistol too.

Sorry, no. New Hampshire has gone the other way. In 2017 Gov. Sununu signed Constitutional Carry into law and NH has no "assault" weapons ban. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_New_Hampshire Maine, I believe, has also enacted Constitutional Carry and has no semiautomatic rifle ban that...

It does, however prohibit the sale of pistol (15+ Rd) and rifle (10+ Rd) magazines in Vermont. This adversely impacts Gun Shops with an existing inventory. I've heard they would have until October to liquidate their stock. Some folks have also mentioned that some manufacturers (Magpul for one)...

The problem with that approach is that once a law is passed, either at the state or federal level, it's virtually impossible to get it repealed. Even an ineffective law will remain on the books for years; establishing a norm. The longer a 'bad' law exists the more likely it will be used as a...

Hate to say it but I called it.

Great OP. I've only had a few moments to skim but I like what barnbwt has to say. I plan to take some time this weekend and read through all the information above. One piece stood out to me: "(today's big spending bill had a litany of gun-control items tossed into it shortly before passing the...
