    Transporting firearms via car by yourself.

    I was in an accident once where my car was totaled. Was towed from the accident scene while I was at the hospital. Before it was towed my wife and I cleared out a bunch of stuff. I get a call at the hospital from my friendly neighborhood sheriff asking if I left a handgun in the car. I just...

    Mixed brass for free

    I have a bag of mixed brass that anyone can have for the cost of shipping. Should all fit in a small USPS Flat Rate Box, so shipping is basically $6. Send via PayPal and it's yours. [/url]IMG_1297 by Larry Webster, on Flickr[/IMG]

    New job...suggestions for conceal carry...

    I use this. http://www.unclegeorgeswalletholsters.com/Pages/default.aspx Works great. No one knows it's not just a wallet in your pocket.

    CNN Article on Campus Carry Today

    I've always said that the "women's right to choose" statement is BS. Certainly not a woman's right to choose to be armed, or to defend herself. They fight only for a woman's right to choose abortion. The rest will be chosen for them by their "superiors."

    My Granddaughter Wants a Handgun For Her 16th Birthday

    I bought a Buckmark for my daughter, and it was great at first, but we had cleaning problems which then caused ejection and cycling problems. I'd go with the Ruger. I also have a Walther P22 that is a super fun gun and comes with a threaded barrel. The suppressor makes it even more fun, but...

    9mm luger the new 1,000 yard cartridge

    And here I thought I was doing well hitting an exploding target at 100 yards with my .45. Guess I need a little more practice.

    James Brady, namesake of the Brady Bill gun control legislation passed away

    While I don't want to speak ill of the dead, or the injured, it is a stretch to say James Brady "put his life on the line for his country." He was the press secretary. He just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and got shot. From what I remember of the incident, he was not...

    Georgia Gov about to sign most liberal carry laws in the country

    The meaning of "liberal" means to change, so it is the most liberal law if it is furthest from the status quo. The Founding Fathers were liberals. We have corrupted that word to mean, in most cases, Democrats because they want to move away from what we consider to be the correct ideology...

    Trimming brass

    Thanks everyone for the excellent responses. 1. I will keep an eye on my .223 brass as I shoot it more to ensure it does not get too long. 2. I will trim after resizing. I'm only neck resizing as all the brass has been fired from my gun. 3. I wil make sure it is all the same length, but...

    Trimming brass

    I've been reloading for a while now, but mostly pistol ammo and .223 for the AR, so I haven't been super concerned about all the tiny details. However, I want to start loading as accurate a .308 WIN load as I can. So, I've bought a case trimmer. I assumed that my shot brass would be longer...

    The ammo shortage?

    I reload my own. So glad I bought as many primers as I did years ago. I wish I had bought more powder.

    One for the motorcycling and shooting types

    Motorcycle rentals are generally easy to find in larger cities, so I assume you would be able to rent in Orlando. I also don't think it should be much trouble for you to be able to shoot at a range. Have fun.

    Background checks, round two?

    mrvco, this is EXACTLY the point. At present, it is impossible to know if any GUN has had a background check done with respect to it. The assumption is that if you bought a gun from a dealer, you got the bg check done, but if you bought it privately, you did not. If we are to go to UBC, that...

    Gun-Free Zone Pseudo Myths

    amused, I don't think you understood my point, or DNS's point. I am not making the antis point at all. What I am saying is that by always claiming that shootings ONLY happen in gun-free zones, we allow the antis to contradict us too easily, which weakens us, since this is absolutely NOT true...

    Gun-Free Zone Pseudo Myths

    DNS, correct me if I am wrong, but I think what you are trying to say in a nutshell is this: the vast majority of mass shootings, and indeed maybe all of them, do not seem to correlate with gun-free or non-gun-free zones. If we insist on making the argument that shootings ONLY happen in...
