    Should a American Citizen, With No Legal Disqualifications, Be Able to Board a Bus,Train, Subway or Plane with a Firearm?

    Tell me that you know nothing about aircraft ventilation systems without telling me that you know nothing about aircraft ventilation systems. There is much more being vented out that a couple of extra holes aren't gong to change a thing. I get the feeling that you don't trust law abiding...

    Should a American Citizen, With No Legal Disqualifications, Be Able to Board a Bus,Train, Subway or Plane with a Firearm?

    In what way are planes different? There was a time when you could board an airplane with a firearm. Don't buy into the myth that a couple of rounds through the fuselage is going to result in explosive decompression at 30,000 feet.

    Should a American Citizen, With No Legal Disqualifications, Be Able to Board a Bus,Train, Subway or Plane with a Firearm?

    We should also be able to go into state and federal buildings to include the halls of power while legally armed. It is either "We the People" or "They our rulers".

    Looking for some insight in the re-building of Browning Hi-Powers

    Only a sample of one, but I was able to drop in a replacement barrel from BHSS for my Tisas HP with no fitting required.

    GOA gets VA Veteran Gun Ban repealed.

    Now let's remove the VA hospital parking lots from "gun free zone" status. I don't know what it is like elsewhere, but at my hospital there are signs saying that having a firearm in the parking lot is a felony. So, if I have to go to the hospital I need to disarm before I leave my house instead...

    Improved M1 Carbine (update)

    The M1 Carbine is still a stellar personal defense weapon. ~ .357 magnum ballistics, negligible recoil, decent capacity, simple manual of arms, proven performance at self-defense distances.

    Man stabs cop to death before armed civilian stops him.

    This incident shows that bad things sometime happen, and there is almost nothing that we can do to stop them. The only positive in this whole mess is that the State of New Mexico doesn't have to spend money on a trail for this miscreant due to the actions of the bystander.

    Major virtue of a revolver

    To me, the major virtue is the simplicity of the manual of arms. So easy, a caveman can do it."

    Jim Bowie at the Alamo

    It was this week in 1836 that Jim Bowie met his demise at the Alamo. If the legends are to be believed he didn't sell his life cheap and put his combat knife to good use.

    Lever action rifle - fast action, western in appearance, suitable for deer hunting, in a more ubiquitous caliber, and of a quality build. Which one?

    Ubiquitous? I am guessing that pretty much any well stocked gun store is going to have a rack with used 336's and 1894's.

    Peters 20 ga shotgun ammo?

    1970's possibly. I wouldn't be afraid to shoot it if it has been kept out of extreme temps and in a dry environment. Hunting upland bids with a 20 ga SxS, I would carry a couple of buckshot loads in case of a curious coyote or a pack of feral wild dogs.

    New Mexico has a 7 day waiting period coming

    And, for those of you wondering about the "Curse of Lew Wallace": ``All calculations based on our experiences elsewhere fail in New Mexico.'' (Lew Wallace, NM Territorial Governor, Civil War hero, and author of "Ben Hur".)

    New Mexico has a 7 day waiting period coming

    Here is the latest status. Still not voted on the House Floor, which means that the Senate hasn't even begun to consider it. Probably dead, but this is, after all, New Mexico, home of the "Curse of Lew Wallace". https://legiscan.com/NM/bill/HB137/2024

    New Mexico has a 7 day waiting period coming

    HB137 is still alive, but on life support. With only 24 hours left in the session it could be passed, but hopefully not. As to the 7-day waiting period, it was originally a 14 business day with no exemptions. It is now 7 calendar days, and has exemptions for LEO's, CCW's, and between immediate...

    Lipsey special edition J frame in 38 and 32mag

    The .327 Fed mag is a handful in my steel 3" Ruger SP101. I wouldn't relish shooting it in a 16 oz J-frame, even if the metallurgy would handle the pressure. I have a Charter Undercoverette in .32 H&R mag, and the recoil is acceptable. Looking forward to the new 432UC, and hoping it will be...
