    Gun Show Loophole

    This is a great discussion, but I am not just singing to the choir because most here agree with this point. It is just stating fact that There is no loophole. When you sell a gun you either follow the law or you break it. And to CSKNY; I will admit that criminals exist. Yes they certainly do...

    Handgun in car

    Sorry. I thought I read that in a travellers handbook for CCP holders. In no way did I mean that as a statement of fact. (laws of destination). I should have formed my comment as a question.

    (Nearly) Empty hand, Could I have done more?

    My wife has been mugged in NYC in the past. One attempt was thwarted when she began shoutting 9 -1- 1 over and over. If you decide to open your mouth in a situation like this, try it at the top of your lungs! Even a strung-out crackhead understands what the numbers 9 1 1 mean to him! - You...

    Gun Show Loophole

    "Gun show loophole" is the same kind of non-sense verbage as "assualt rifle" Here in Virginia it is legal to sell a legally owned gun to another on a private basis. At a gun show or on the street. If it is a dealer who is selling they must perform the background check. I have been to many gun...

    Handgun in car

    I thought federal law allows transport through states as long as you comply with the state that is your final destination. Not sure but I think that means, unloaded, firarm and ammo locked in seperate compartmernts.

    HD shotgun

    Yeah, Buds is out of stock as is Able's. I checked a few other and same thing. The $265 deal is gone for now I guess. But yesterday I did see a Remington 870 Express model 5549 12ga 18 synthetic stock black finish for $299. They have plenty in stock. I am seriously thinking about that now!!!!!

    IRS shotguns - random questions

    I am just curious about the guns the IRS is buying. They are requesting a 14" barrel for one thing. I never see any discussion regarding any shotty with a barrel that short. For that matter I have never seen one for sale. Is a 14" barrel legal? If it is the government doing the shooting maybe...

    HD shotgun

    I got some bad news yesterday. The gun is on backorder now. It could be weeks before any are available. I have been all over the web and EVERONE is out of stock on this item. I can't believe everything is gone. Did they reallt sell out or did Mossberg lose money on the deal because it was too...

    HD shotgun

    Well, I did it! Last week I went down to my local sporting goods store and got a great deal on the Mossberg 500sp. He had to order it, but it should be in tomorrow. It's the 12ga, 18 inch barrel, parkerized finish. It has the full stock and also a pistol grip kit. I don't see myself using the...

    HD shotgun

    Thanks for all the great input. One point to clarify though. When I say I don't want to spend too much, I mean right up front. I do want a reliable good quality shotgun. The extra 50-100 dollars in my pocket doesn't help one bit when you are faced with a life and death situation. I want to start...

    HD shotgun

    I am looking to purchase my first shotgun for HD purposes. I currently have a 9mm semi at the bedside but want a little more security and something my wife can shoot. I have limited experience but have shot both 12ga and 20ga in the past. I think what I want is 20ga, 18 inch barrel, full stock...

    Charles Daly SP Tactical

    Spare parts I didn't know CD was going belly-up. When I saw this thread I nearly went to Buds with my credit card in hand. I have been looking at both the 590m and 870 for HD and haven't been able to make up my mind....possibly because they are both a lot more money than this CD. Is this still...
