So, … Dakotamart is a BATFE Superstore? Is that what you’re saying?

I’ve only owned or shot one rifle on the list: Ruger American Rimfire Target. I like it a lot, and am also about to mount that Viridian Serac scope the OP mentioned on it. With that said, the two .22 rifles that just seem to keep catching my eye are the Savage FVSR and CZs suppressor-ready...

That looks like a well-spent afternoon!

Looks good! I have. CZ on The Long List, but that’s still a ways out.

Pretty much every suggestion I would have made, has been made. So I’ll just say: (1) The Shield EZ and Equalizer are probably worth a look; (2) I understand the aversion to the ubiquitous. It’s part of what kept me away from Glocks. See if you can set that aside and weigh out pros and cons. I...

My EDC (Shield Plus) doubles as my nightstand gun. As someone else put it, if it's good enough for me during the day, it's good enough for me at night.

A THR member, who shall remain anonymous unless he decides to reveal himself, pointed me to a decision of the Arkansas Supreme Court, which was released a few days ago. The long and the short of it is that it appears that Arkansas lawyers can now carry guns to court, or at least to courthouses...

Them: Why do you carry a gun? Me: In case I have to shoot someone. :evil: Seriously, though, I've only been asked once or twice why I carry a gun, and my response (like others here) is some form of "better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it."

What you say and how you say it are both important. There's a big difference between: a) "Good evening, officer. Just so you know, I'm carrying a concealed pistol on my right hip." and b) "I HAVE A GUN!" :what: Arkansas is both a permitless carry state, and a must inform state. I've had...

While there are some legal issues that could be discussed here, this isn't really a question for Legal.

Would you please tell me a little more about that bipod/rest/thingamajig?

No, @bearcreek is spot on. For background, the federal law in question is 18 USC 922. Nowhere is there any exemption or rule change for a “gun show.”

That *is* a good question. When I have an answer, I’ll try to remember to report back.

Honestly, this isn’t really a “Legal” question, and as written, it’s way too broad to formulate a solid answer. There is no indication about the seller’s location, which statutes he or she might be violating, etc. Still, it’s not an unreasonable discussion, so I’ll move this to General...
