I believe the HALO group in California is no more. They closed/sold their range in Concord and have not opened another to my knowledge. Check the Tactical Firearms Training Team, tftt.com. They teach classes twice a year in the Sacramento area. Very good. Check Advanced Weapons &...

Futuristic, or any of you with magazine disconnects. Try this. With an unloaded gun and magazine, but with the magazine inserted. Press the trigger until resistance is felt and hold at that point. Now remove the magazine. Complete the trigger press. Hammer fell didn't it...

Shoestring trigger I must be missing something here. The rifle will not fire again until the trigger is reset. This is done by allowing the trigger to move forward when the string slacks with the bolt to the rear which then resets the trigger so another pull is required. All I see this...

I am a Patron Life Member of the NRA, Training Counselor and Instructor but do not support many of their views. I am also life a member of the Calif Rifle and Pistol Association, JPFO and several other gun rights organizations. And I belong to other organizations on an annual basis. The NRA...

CarryIn You'll need to provide a statute citation for you comment regarding ammunition and CCW cause to my knowledge what ammo you carry or qualify with is immaterial. If I'm wrong I'll be happy to be educated. Tom Laye

Safe safe move Try to rent a lift called UltraLift or find a company that uses one to do the job. www.ultralift.com These are a wonder and very safe. I've seen them in operation. How about full sized vending machines to the 8th floor via the stairs by one man. And the old ones down.

wrong ammo I have to take exception to pete_f's statement because in fact, "To answer the question bluntly, YES, you CAN do that" . A 40 S&W will fire, and sometimes function the slide when put in a .45 semi-auto and a 9mm will as will fire, and sometimes function the slide when put in a...

Ok folks. Let's take a breath here. 1. You're discussing two separate bills in the Kalif legislature, not an assembly and senate version of the same bill. SB357 is the ammunition serialization bill where a serial number will be engraved on lots of 50 handgun bullets. This bill may, or...

Kernel Klink, To apply for a Calif CCW go to Jim March's page here http://www.ninehundred.com/~equalccw/ for good information and download the California CCW Application at http://www.equalccw.com/appform.html. If for some reason that doesn't work go to Placer County's CCW page and download...

When I asked my lady to marry me I explained I had enough money for her ring or a Barrett 50 cal and which I should get. She said get the Barrett since we could shoot that and only look at the ring. She has the Barrett and the ring and we tie the knot next month. I AM a lucky guy. Tom

Based on the article that started this thread you have all, unless I missed it, been arguing for nothing. By the articles description of what occurred she was not Tasered. A stun gun was used on her. A Taser shoots needle like darts and then the trigger is pulled to administer the shock...

Students at colleges and universities are just like any other folks. They just need education. In the twelve months we've, BayProfs, taught 36 students from Berkeley in the Bay Area and an MIT alumni group. Been some of the best classes we've had. I really enjoy how they put 2 and 2...

If you will go to the SAAMI site at http://www.saami.org/docs/SAAMI_lit.pdf they have literature and videos of over 1 million rounds of ammunition being burned, dropped, crushed, etc in controlled tests. Other videos and phamplets are on primers and black power. In one of the videos they...

itgoesboom, I would recommend that you get a good gas operated airsoft pistol and then you can practice in your house with a "firearm" that actually recoils. This requires you to regain the front sight and reset the trigger as you come back on target for the next shot. They are accurate...

The NRA, http://www.nrahq.com/education/index.asp, has several shooting programs for less able people. They cover techniques, and the rationale behind those techniques in their manuals. This rationale will help you in determining how to develop a good program for your student. Tom NRA...
