They are owned by the British, it's unlikely they'll change their policy. I noticed their store in Jacksonville, FL posted last year and in tracking down addresses to write learned that their parent company is Sterling Jewelers which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Signet Group plc, a British...

Keep it and shoot it. I've got one I've been shooting for close to 20 years without a glitch. Around here the shops ask $175-$250 for most any brand of SKS.

If I can find one I'll be buying a Marlin Model 39 for the 4th!! :D

The divisiveness caused by H.R.2640 goes far beyond THR. News sites, blogs, forums, at the range and gunshop...nobody can agree on it. And it has been as bitter and irrespectful in other places as it has here. Now I really don't think the antis are that clever. But what does this say about...

Done and done! Weren't folks saying a while back that the Democrats weren't going to do anything about gun control because they were afraid of it? Seems like they got over their fear.

Under most circumstances I'd tell him...especially as you describe being out on the street. I'd have second thoughts only if I was somewhere carry was prohibited...I'd assume the holster was empty intentionally. I did that just this morning...early voting in a Florida special election...I...

Something I read earlier today applies... You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered. -President Lyndon Johnson

All right...no Glock bashing now... I have a couple 1911s that, being longer and narrower, would make better drink stirrers...'course they wouldn't hold up to the liquid as well. :D

I think that should have happened a few pages ago. As I said a few posts back...

That's the only article I've been able to find. I would like to find some more information as I'm sure there's more to the story, including the other 2 suits. Does anyone know if records of court proceedings might be available on line? It would be worth a search if there's a chance they're...

Nobody's mentioned the revolver...I guess .357 with the option to shoot .38 is the obvious choice. What about same caliber combinations? Rifle and revolver, or even revolver and pistol in the same caliber.

It would be ironic if this passed by a voice vote.
