While I disagree with much of what LePage stands for, these 2 items make good sense. An employer telling me I cannot carry in my vehicle in a work parking lot prevents me from carrying for most intents and purposes. Same for the state park one: people need to drive to the state park to get...

I just took a handgun course a week ago. They instructed us to tap, rack, bang, whenever we had a misfire. I asked about hangfire. They didn't seem too worried about it. As I was the only one of 16 students shooting a revolver the whole time, I thought it to be very important to wait, rather...

It seems to me that thinking to prevent every possible event in the world could result in a paranoia that may be worse than what we were tying to prevent in the first place.

I picked up a 60-7 the other day in good shape and I was wondering when it was made. I am also curious, since it is stainless, if a few 38 +P rounds would blow it up. a) .38 spl b)2" barrel c) round butt d) 5 shot e) fixed front, groove rear f) BSA8127 g)M 60-7

Thank you for the fast and very informative answer. I will buy a bottle of what you recommend and give it a try.

I'm not sure of the best place for this question, but here it is: Has anyone seen any real information on Shooters Choice FP-10 lube? I bought a bottle of it from Cabela's, and while I find it does a good job as a lube and modest cleaning, now I am starting to question the safety of using it...

New Here Hello, My name is Josh, and after browsing for a while, I decided it would be a good idea to sign up and learn about firearms. Not only that, but there seems to be a good bunch of people on here. I recently picked up my first gun - a S&W 686-3 4" from a friend for $300 (well used...
