I have not personally experienced a negligent discharge, but I have experienced an accidental discharge--difference being the AD was from a malfunction which touched off a round when the trigger was released after firing the previous round. Even though I did nothing wrong, it was still not a...

^ Good illustration. I'm ashamed to say that my State (NC) is #13. Looking at some of those on the list ahead of us doesn't comfort me very much--i.e. "We're not quite as bad as all out anti-gun States."

Need and the Second Ammendment The question of whether anyone "needs" a FA weapon begs the question of why we have the Second Amendment. If the right to keep and bear arms means hunting, target shooting and plinking, then FA has no place other than an expensive ammo eater, but then again ARs...

Order from Mossberg Try factory direct. The website says that they are available, and the price doesn't seem out of line. http://www.mossberg.com/cgi-bin/commerce.exe?preadd=action&key=90015

My vote goes for AIM Surplus. Shipping is low, they haven't raised prices, and at least the last time I heard lead times were reasonable (as in shipping orders from the beginning of January). My experience with them is good, and they have a good track record as far as I can tell. YMMV. Good...

AIM Surplus I ordered some from AIM surplus back in December. The lead time wasn't terrible then, but I'm not sure what it is now. The hardest part then was actually getting a call in to place the order. Last I checked they hadn't raised their prices though, so as always it depends on which...

Trying to compensate for poor police work by heavy-handed tactics just makes a bad situation worse.

The reason is because they are big and evil-looking, thus the easiest to restrict. Just like the "assault weapons" ban had nothing to do with reducing crime but was an opportunity the banners took for low-hanging fruit. If you restrict things a little at a time, eventually it's all restricted...

It's good to hear that people here in NC don't have a monopoly on poor winter-weather driving habits. Here we usually don't get much snow, it's ice that can cause problems--that and the fact that we don't have the equipment to quickly clear the roads. Anyway, as often as I've heard...

The padding pulls off, but can be tricky to remove (at least on mine). I usually look for a small indentation on the outside of the padding, between it and the plastic. If you can use something small enough to fit in there to get a little leverage, you can lift the padding up easily. Then the...

Zero tolerance = zero thinking. I expect things to get worse and worse in the government education system.

They're just smuggling/selling the drugs Americans won't smuggle/sell.

Never hurts to ask or at least ask for a "cash discount". That being said the shop I frequent most does cost + 10% on new guns so there's not much wiggle room. They make most of their money on the range they run. I think they understand that to be competitive they can't make all their money...

Umm, how does being against the War on Drugs equal promoting drug use? That just doesn't make any sense. And just to prevent more assumptions let me clearly state that the statement above does not imply any opinion on the War on Drugs.

Well got to the range today to try out the Sub. Put ~120 rounds through it (all I had on hand) without any hiccups. While the range I shot at is a short indoor range, the Sub grouped well although the groups were all left and I didn't have anything to adjust the front sight with. Anyway, so...
