For bear - 45-70 lever gun, 308, or a 12 gauge semi auto. AR for everything else. Here is your problem most shots will be at smaller game at distance. AR is best suited here. Bear requires serious power. 308, 30-06, 45-70, 12 ga slugs. These are expensive to shoot and except the 308...

You need to look at the bullet drop on the 300BLK at 400 yards. I don't remember the specifics but I want to say it exceeds 30 inches or so. RSilvers of AAC will tell you the 300BLk is good inside 300 yards. For me, the number is more like 200 yards due to ballistics. 300BLK is a very nice...

For Home Defense - 12ga auto load shotgun. (Rem 1100 is a good choice) You can load it with slugs and deer hunt and with shot shells hunt dove. It is the best HD weapon out there. For an AR-15, stick with 223. Ammo is very available. 300BLK while very cool, ammo is difficult. Unless you are...

"All the people who mention the 1994 ban need to remember that at the time the country was going through a massive cocaine fueled crime wave. Murders were at all time highs and crime was the number one issue facing politicians at the local and federal level. " This is SO true. There are other...

Our office is in a rough area of town. Pepper spray in most every office, several employees carry every day. If I work late I have my suppressed SBR at my desk. We have had homeless come in uninvited. They decided to leave rather fast.

Here is my top 5 in order of acqusition 1st gun - 12GA Semi Auto Shotgun (5 Shot min cap) - Home Defense, Hunting 2nd gun - Centerfire Pistol or Revolver, 9MM, 357 Mag, or 45ACP - PDW 3rd Gun - Quality 22 rifle - Hunting, training 4th Gun - 30-06 Bolt Hunting Rifle -...

First, DOJ can't do this unilaterally. Elimination of BATFE will require congressional action (the budget for ATF would be required to be eliminated). Second, don't wish for something where you don't understand the outcome. The issue with the ATF is not with the agents and line workers...

I agree, I like Rig in the barrel on guns you don't shoot. I believe it offers great protection. Tagging the gun to insure a clean patch is run through the barrel prior to shooting the gun is also a great tip.

I have done this. Bring one Magnum (Handgun or Rifle) and 2-3 boxes of hot ammo for it. Give everyone who wants a chance at 5-6 rounds. Pull it out last for the "brave ones" It will be what everyone will remember. Most all the guys will shoot it. MAKE SURE they have the technique down...

A couple of questions Does anyone here find it interesting how the lower level ATF field agents are responding to F&F directly bucking ATF management? Also, has anyone noticed that the "thin blue line" at the FBI hasn't been broken? FBI was involved. NICS checks at a minimum. Think about...

Azjms, Please explain why ATF agents were ordered to stand down and allow 2500 firearms to walk away over approximately a 2 year period? Consider this: It lasted too long with too many weapons to have been a mistake ATF management knew, and the testimony says DOJ and WH personnel knew...

Fallingblock, I don't doubt what you have said. The wife and I were there for ~3 weeks. We were in Cambra (for a trade show), Sydney (The Rocks), and Manley Beach. I only reported what we saw. In Cambra the streets seemed to roll up after 7pm every evening (we were downtown). I did have...

I have been fortunate to have watched 90% of the last 2 hearings. The consensus of opinion including 100% of the Republicans and over 50% of the Dems and Elijah Cummings was that William Newell was absolutely not answering the questions. When Newell stated that ATF didn't walk guns into...

I spoke with a guy who works in a local gun store. Here is a quote: "Guy comes in we don't know, no way we let him walk out with 5 guns." He went on to say that even if directed by the ATF they wouldn't do it.

I have been to Australia. It is a very nice place. I saw zero gang bangers, street peddlers, bums, motorcycle gang members, street thugs etc. I was outside the Sydney train Station at 10:00 one night no cops, no threats. Everyone works. Comparing Cambra (AU capital) to Washington DC is like...
