This example would be a little stronger if vehicles could be driven concealed (i.e. if criminals were able to drive without drawing attention to themselves by doing so). But it's nevertheless a great example!

Breakfree, but for some purposes I use a grease as well (Berry Hill's Ultimate Gun Lube, discussed here some time ago). By the way, I only use it for lubrication. For cleaning, I use Pro Shot copper solvent.

What you should have done is this (IANAL, but it's what I'd do): - Stay in the house. - Call the cops and inform them that somebody is burglarizing RIGHT NOW. - Do not alert the burglars that they have been spotted - you want them to stay around and get caught in the act by the cops...

Yup, and it can get you killed. Happened here in WA, at Lake Sammamish State Park just a few weeks ago. Two groups of people chilling with spouses and children. A guy from one group starts taunting a guy from the other. The two get into a fist-fight. Somebody from one of the groups pulls a gun...

For bears, you want a .500 S&W Magnum. Trust me. Alternatively, a 12-ga with slugs, but that's probably too unwieldy for hiking...

Sure. At one indoor range, they allow "as fast as you can hit the paper. No misses!". On a couple outdoor ranges I'm not aware of any such restrictions whatsoever.

Dude, these are not your friends. These are some acquaintances whom you rarely see to ride motorcycles with. Do you really want to associate with irresponsible people like that?

Holy crap... No wonder they have disabled comments and ratings. I SO would have liked to "dislike" it, but alas...

I also was patted down at a concert and the bouncer missed my GLOCK 19 IWB. I told him about it, though, and he was pretty surprised and looked pissed :-)

Regarding guns getting hot, I think the sun is the real culprit. Sun shining onto black metal on a clear day tends to have such an effect on it :-)

... And now I'm in bed and it's within arm's reach.

Well, I'm sitting in the loo right now, so I'd literally be caught with my pants down. But I'm on the third floor of my residence, so hopefully I'd be able to reach the gun readily accessible in the nearest bedroom if I hear any sort of break-in coming from downstairs.

The show actually striked a good balance as far as non-shooting audience goes, in my opinion. My wife actually watched it with me without complaining once! If they were more history- or weapons-oriented, the result would probably have been me watching it alone after the first 10 minutes... If it...

Too much stuff here to read but I thought I'd chime in nevertheless. I don't know if this particular crime is a felony or what the legal definition of a felony is. However, it is worth noting that the law doesn't say "felony" when it prohibits firearm acquisition or possession. What 18 U.S.C...

Speaking of drunks with guns, I'm typing this from a mobile phone so I can't paste a link, but look up "Double Shot Liquor and Guns Drive-Thru" - pretty hilarious, and it's a real establishment :-) There are some photos on the internet...
