    What are you using for home defence? Rifle, Pistol or shotgun?

    Bird shot is NOT an acceptable self defense ammunition! Please do not spread this kind of misinformation around. If I were 25 feet away in the dark running at you with a sharp object, or flipping the safety off of a loaded gun, as I probably would be if I were an intruder in your house and you...

    A question for you lefties...

    The only guns that have presented a major annoyance for me as a left hander are AR15s. Mine is a Stag Arms lefty version and it works good for me. Nothing else really is an issue, although learning to hit the mag release on some pistols took longer.

    Toledo Man Shoots Home Intruder

    Maybe not. It still helps in the battle of public opinion. As for preaching to the choir, my reason for posting this here is just because I thought people would find it interesting.

    Toledo Man Shoots Home Intruder

    Me too. It's a metaphor, and if you have ever been to Seattle, you'd know what I mean. The point is that he defended himself from harm with a legally owned firearm when the police were unable to help in time. It's good to get the word out about this kind of (unfortunate) thing, because I often...

    Gun writer has been 'disappeared' in Britain

    You can't say that knowledge itself is evil. That is even worse than saying that a certain object is evil. I hope nothing comes of this, it's another step back for Britain.

    Does "Castle Doctrine" Apply to Hotel Rooms?

    I live in Oregon, but I frequently travel to Washington, California, and Idaho, and when I'm in these places, I usually stay in motels. I usually make a habit of having a firearm nearby when I'm sleeping (at home or not), and I especially like to when I'm staying in a motel because of all the...

    Why I hope Schwarzenegger signs the ammo bill

    For my part, I couldn't disagree with the OP's statements MORE. This is an absolutely unacceptable erosion of all that is great about our constitution and the freedom it guarantees.

    The .223 paradox

    I have shot a "deer-sized animal" with a 5.56 xm193 round at about 200 yards. It died right away (liquid liver.) Most people who complain about the lack of stopping power of any caliber are just assuming it is the fault of the round, when it is almost always poor shot placement. BTW there was...

    Fatal Chicago Beating - What could a bystander have done?

    Just remember that in Chicago, as in most places, you don't know who's armed and who's side their on. Just because they don't have it visible in the video doesn't mean it wouldn't come out if someone else showed up with a gun (you.) Drawing a weapon without using it could easily get you shot in...

    dumb question - do soldiers go deaf?

    My grandfather is very deaf from firing rifles and machine guns in training. Some people are more resistant to it than others but there are millions of people who have lost some or all of their hearing in the military.
