When we take up a weapon for defense of our love ones and ourselves we have a duty to know the laws. Not just of where we live but where we are traveling to. Just think of the two or three recent cases of good honest citizens from out of New York state that were carrying in the NYC and when...

I used the FNP-9 that I won last year at the SC State IDPA match at the S&W Indoor Nationals this year. The gun was flawless, I on the other hand.... SUCKED!!!!! Dave

I don't ever recall seeing this asked. But here goes... When traveling through a state that does not recognize your CCW. Where do you stop to lock it up. The last rest area before that state, the state's welcome center or do you just pull over to the side of the road near the state line...

There is a good possibility that I will be there depends on if I can get the tire off my riding lawn mower and get the flat fixed so I can mow. (Otherwise I will need to use the self propelled lawn mower:cuss:) Barry spotted it at the Aisle Pawn and Gun store (more guns than Pawn...) and I...

Here are some pictures of my bench. I had to buy the safe when my wife said no more "toys" until I got one so I made sure it was big enough to hold one or two more...:D The room is in my basement, I got the chance to do the remodel when the Waterbed in it leaked and I discovered that the...

I got a Chrony Beta Chronograph and it works real well and is small and compact when not in use. (Folds up to the size of brick...) Dave

Here in Wilkes County NC my local gun store just received a shipment of Primers and I had to debate if I should clean them out or be good to my fellow reloaders in Wilkes county. I decided to be good and only bought 2k each of small and large pistol primers. Average price was $36/1k. In...

As a history major I might take exception to the following: From the point of view of historical fact EVERY style of firearm that has ever produced would have been an assault weapon at one time or another, even Single shot muskets. Think about it, in the 1600's when we look at the...

Now I'm not a lawyer, but on another forum site I saw a reference to ex post facto laws and that they are unconstitutional. And so I did a search on what Ex Post Facto was and the first site I went to gave this definition: So based on that definition wouldn't any law that required be a...

Most scenarios are relatively straight forward and not very difficult to remember. Especially if you are the last shooter in a squad of 10 to 12 shooters. That being said I have seen shooters screw up on the simplest stages... For example at our monthly club match this weekend we had a...

Well, IDPA http://IDPA.com is very popular in NC. In fact one of the three top national matches is held here every year in Oxford at The Range. It's called the Carolina Cup it is put on by Frank Glover and friends. Within 45 minutes of you west along 421 we hold a IDPA club match on the...

On one of the other forums I'm a member of. A fellow member posted a link to the raw video of an interview of man who used his weapon to defend him and his wife when two individuals tried to rob him and had threatened to kill him. Its about 15 minutes long but well worth the time. From...

What I would recommend is that you DON'T ship and weapons. The Armies band to shipping is probably a reaction to having to many weapons stolen. When I got out of the Air Force I had a lever action Marlin that my dad had given me. I had it shipped with my property to Fl. where it was in...

+1 on get your NC CCW permit. Since NC is a must issue state the friend of bohicaconcepts would not have to worry about purchase permits the minute the current sheriff signs the permit. Dave

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt... :p
