    Why we need National CCW Reciprocity now!

    I agree with checking the laws. The wife and I do a lot of traveling on our motorcyle. One of the most complicated parts of the trip planning is determining what I need to do with the gun(s). Where can I carry it, is open carry ok, when do I have to stop and lock it up, and finally what is...

    A question about background checks

    I have a similar issue. Sometimes when I buy a gun, I get delayed and sometimes not it is baffling. My wife never gets delayed, we have even made purchase on the same day at the same shop, she walks out with her gun, I get to wait. Seems like if it is recurring issue there should be some way to...

    Volunteering CCW permit to officer

    A friend of mine is a LEO in my town, he said they would like to know if we are carrying because it is better than surprising them if it is discovered. We are not required by law to do this but I think I would let them know.

    i would like to know what kind of guns your wife likes to shoot?

    Mine likes to shoot most anything, but her guns are a Kimber full size SIS .45, A Kimber Pro Aegis 9MM, a Glock 26, Glock 34, Ruger 10/22 and a Marlin 357 Lever. She can shoot for hours. Sometimes I get home from work and she says "the guns are in the truck, lets go shoot".

    Why is everyone OUT of stuff!?

    There still seems to be a lot of guns available here in SE Virginia, but I have had a problem finding .357 mag., 22LR, .17HMR and .45 ACP ammo, it is pretty bizarre.

    What do you all think about the Marlin lever action chambered for 357/ 38?

    I got my wife a 1894C in .357/.38 for Christmas, she loves it. It is managable for her to shoot, makes a big bang and she blows the middle of the target out at 50 yds. I like hte gun so much I am thinking about getting the 44. The only problem we have experienced is that it appears all the...

    Are you doing anything gun related on Christmas day?

    The wife and I are going to go shoot our new rifles. She gave me a .17HMR and I gave her a Marlin 1894C. Going to be a lot of fun I think.
