If you're going, don't forget that it is forbidden to carry any bladed object other than fruit knives. I had 2 Benchmades confiscated at a local airport when my wife and I went to visit her in-laws last year. They were checked in, but the xray screener noticed them. I was lucky they only took...

IMHO, the most effective use of your scarce college-student money would be in a 1 or 2 day training course in defensive shotgun. 90% of the stuff you can put on a shotgun do nothing but add weight and actually DECREASE it's effectiveness as a defensive weapon. My Mossberg at present has a...

Like all laws, I think the proposal to keep guns locked up at all times could work in an ideal situation. That being: - Firearms locks can only be opened by the owner of the firearm. The locks are not bypassable by any sort of combination that can be guessed, stolen, or forced from the...

skidmark's poster idea is genius, using their own people. I think it would be extremely effective, and have greater impact than their own 'lie-in' by itself would. Amplified effect, turning an anti to a pro-carry message, and the antis foot the bill for the costumes and setup. People need...

Threaded barrels are OK for RIFLES in CA. Threaded barrels on rifles do not count as an AW feature. But you must only use it for compensators/muzzle brake, no sound or flash suppressors. Sound suppressors are illegal in CA, and flash suppressors count as an AW feature. If questioned about...

So the shooter is still alive? If he survives and recovers, I wonder how he'll be prosecuted. Does Finland have the death penalty?

In my experience, the Mossberg is ergonomically superior to the Remington 870. The slide release is in a perfect position to activate with the middle finger of your shooting hand without changing your firing grip. Just push up with the middle finger area between the 1st and 2nd joints...

I was glad to see the way these details are being reported. The police chief definitely made it clear that guns don't fire by themselves. The responsibility for the ND is purely the worker's. Good that the writer including that in the story. Now if we could just get them to correct "the gun...

I'm also wondering what the exact technique is for using the files to create the matted texture. Is the file placed on the front/rear strap and whacked directly with a hammer? :eek:

Got through... and done! :) Hoping that the "busy" signals are because of a massive flood of "Opposed" calls :D

Still busy (awesome!) Great idea, thanks for posting this, escheato! :D

I'm sure a lot can be attributed to gang activity. Incidentally, Oakland is Alameda County, right? Home of gun-banning legislator (and CCW holder) Don Perata? Wonder what HE's going to say about this :barf:

A negligent discharge happens as a result of operator error/input. It doesn't matter whether there was intent or not. If you did something to the gun and it fired, that's a negligent discharge. If the gun fired without any outside input by you (ie. mechanical failure/defect) then it could...

I believe that many of us are missing the more sinister chess move behind this. Many have noted that this creates a defacto ban on any new handguns being added to the CA-approved list for sale. The chances of handgun manfacturers incorporating imaginary technology into a line of new handguns...
