Remember that soccer mom has a brood to protect and that makes her twice a dangerous. Indeed. :) Thanks for answering.

The following was my reply to a post on Free Repblic about women carrying handguns for self defense. Of course, I belive that a 12 gauge shotgun is the best weapon for self defense, but if I want to carry it, I'll have to dress in a Mu Mu. I don't want to do that and neither do you. Here's...

I think you would do better if you targeted specific groups, rather than businesses. Considering workplace shootings, some companies are likely to take a dim view of teaching their employees to shoot. Several targeted efforts have been made. The NRA sponsors programs to teach women to...

I've been selling it and shooting it for years. I've never had a problem with it.

This exact same question was asked and answered on either FreeRepublic.com or TedNugent.com a while back. Here's the same answer: If you build a device that is intended to silence the report of a firearm and you do not register it as a silencer, you have made an illegal silencer and you have...

I don't think your question can be answered. No situation is the same as the ones that preceded it. The "tactical" answer is two shots to the center of mass and one shot to the head, but what if the bad guy refuses to stand still while you do this? What if he's shooting in crowd? What if he...

They were Swedes. I've always liked the Swedes. My older sister had a friend named Mary and the two of them used to love to listen to that Ugashakka song. I thought Mary was a hottie, so I figured the Swedish must be pretty cool. :)

So we rented machine guns to some Europeans today, which we probably should not have done because Europeans tend to think that all Americans run around with machine guns all the time and it's just like on tv. They screwed up a Colt, so we gave them another one. They said the Uzi didn't work...

You're essentially correct. Anyone can give it to you, it does not have to come from a family member. You get into problems when it isn't really a gift. That's when you "give" dad $650 and he "gives" you a Beretta. You can purchase handguns from a private seller when you're 18 in...

Not all machine guns are Uzis. If they wanted to restrict it from sub guns, they would say that. I have no idea why it has a problem in the Uzi. The Winchester 9mm load you gave is +p. The +p+ load is the NATO loading, which produces the same results with the four inch barrel as Federal...

Indeed, the US Navy stopped using 50s on Japanese aircraft because they didn't work. They stopped using 20mm cannon on the kamikazes because those didn't wotk, either. They were using four inch guns.

Frankie you're free to suggest amendments to the constitution any time you like. But even when it doesn't say what you want, it is the law of the land and it is supposed to be obeyed.

This I have to see. Pretty much every handgun manufacturer in the world tells you not to use +p+ ammunition. The reason is that there is no pressure standard for it. SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturer's Institute) sets safe chamber pressures for firearm cartridges. The SAAMI...

If you're doing heavy work outdoors, sweat and rain will probably get to the finish before it wears down from the holster. The stainless ones are much better in this regard. Try to find an old one that has stainless or hard chromed parts. The new J frames use MIM hammers and triggers and it...

IMO, the difference is the barrel used to test it. The +p+ ammunition is intended for a submachine gun with a barrel of eight inches or more. When the cartridge is fired, the powder burns for a specific time, depending on the powder and the load. Handgun rounds are designed to give a very...
