    URGENT: For the Illinois Gun Owners

    M congressman and my senator are both on board for concealed carry. The governor is going to be the critical point I believe.

    What states do not have a concealed carry permit?

    BTW here is a cc bill in the Illinois house, but before anyone gets excited, our socialist governor promised several years ago to veto any cc bills presented to him.

    What states do not have a concealed carry permit?

    Not to throw dirt in the game, but not only are there varying laws state to state, but some states do not have preemption laws meaning counties and cities can pass restrictions to the state carry laws, and those of us who travel across Indian lands have to abide by tribal cc laws as well...

    New XD 40

    Ok. I put about 300 rounds downrange and killed tons of paper zombies. No failures or faults. Accuracy is excellent - the more I shot it and got used to it the tighter the grouping. The trigger action and pull is sweet. I found the trigger easing back smoothly and consistently. Recoil was...

    Opinions on Walther P22

    My wife loves our P22. We bought it and a Beretta Bobcat to cut down on ammunition costs (so we could shoot more often and longer). The Beretta is going on the block. I have had some failure to feed with the P22 but always on the second round to be fired when I load ten rounds, so I believe...

    New XD 40

    Of course you are right M1key. It is a service not a tactical. I had just been looking at the tactical and had a cerebral carryover incident. I put the heavier spring in at my brother's recommendation. He is a small arms instructor and gifted me with the hot loads. I really have no...

    New XD 40

    I picked up my new Springfield XD.40 Tactical today (4" barrel 10 round mags). I haven't even fired it yet - brought it home, broke it down, cleaned and light lube, reassembled, did it again for practice (sweet). I have about 3k rounds donated by my brother that are hot loads so I replaced...

    Help finding a 22 for wife

    I bought A Beretta Bobcat .22 for my wife and a Walther P22 for me. Didn't end up that way though. I sure miss shooting my P22. Anyone need an almost unused Bobcat?

    What would you do if your wife got a felony?

    Having a large house, if it became necessary, I would wall off a small apartment with a separate entrance as a living space for the felon. Then she could "visit" me regularly but "live" where there were no guns.

    I guess I'm just nuts...

    I collect books and I want first editions for resale and cheap reprints to read. I guess if I collected guns I might want originals, but right now I want my guns to be utilitarian and therefore affordable. I can see both sides of this but I think most folks are out for purpose and value rather...

    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    My name is Kent. I am a 9 year Navy vet and then worked for the Army in small arms for 22 years. Don't think I have a lot of expertise however, because at the HQ small arms meant anything less than 81mm. I was on the large end of small arms. I come from a gun family. My Dad was a Navy...
