I had a Taurus 85T cylinder lock up after firing a round of CCI shot. Turned out the plastic end of the next (unfired) round had slipped forward a bit and prevented the cylinder from turning. Then I checked some rounds in the box and found several with loose plastic ends that easily slid...

Mississippi still has a few tough old women, I'm proud to say! But Morgantown, MS is nowhere near Oktibbeha County as the article says.

I am as clean as the driven snow (one speeding ticket about 45 years ago), but every time I bought a gun, the "instant" background check hit a delay on approval. Invariably, it was OK'd but if I did not want to wait several hours (such as near the end of a gun show) it was a pain. I was told...

a. Top mount optics interference? b. Loose collar tops---especially on lady shooters?

I spent 2 weeks in Madison on campus 30 years ago in January. The high for the 2 weeks was 7 degrees F. But the wind was about 40 MPH out of the north. It was a miserable 2 weeks. And the people were OK but extremely liberal. They had a student Communist Party organization on campus...

It may have to do with state laws. Mississippi, for instance, has no charge of "attempted murder". I just learned this recently.

CZ Rami in .40 S&W. The early ones had weak mag springs and it caused TERRIBLE FTF problems. CZ never issued a recall but would work on them if you complained. The same gun in 9 mm was never a problem. I heard that they eliminated the problem in later guns but I was soured on the CZ...

Some folks apparently get all their news from Google News and MSNBC. This is the part that surprised me. I have never heard of this existing requirement: What exactly is "multiple sales of handguns"? How many handguns in how many days? I expect the next shoe will involve banning...

I haven't (unless you count those I found at gun shows), but my brother did. About 40 years ago he and some friends were swimming in a small river and they found an old 32-20 revolver. I cleaned it up and bought the only box of 32-20 ammo at a local hardware store and shot it. I was just...

I tried to register to buy something on GB (as I recall) and the site INSISTED that I give the site a credit card number in order to register as a buyer. They said that it was to protect sellers or something from unscrupulous bidders.. Um, no thanks. There's way too much theft of credit...

Did you get an answer to your questions?

Yep. NRA, ILA, and GOA. I am not a life member but just keep paying dues one year at the time for about 30 years. I support them because the liberals hate them. Sometimes I get close to dropping my membership because they seem to support gun manufacturers' interest more than our right...

Is there a good web site that describes the different chokes? I don't think any of it is standardized and the amount of reduction and names vary from one manufacturer to another. Right? I have seen a few tables of interchangeable chokes (what chokes fit what guns), but even that is somewhat...

I used to live on the coast (The Pass and Bay St. Louis) and I am here to tell you it IS a different world. PS: He might want to remove any Obama bumper stickers and replace them with Rebel flag stickers somewhere in Tennessee.

As others have mentioned, those numbers are totally bogus. But I find this note on the linked site of interest: As other voters, politicians' stand on the Second Amendment is my litmus test. And if they take no stand on it, I assume they are not supporters of my right to own a gun.
