Like everybody else who proposes such things, they want someone else to do the dirty work. Not themselves. Funny how it quite frequently ends up being the government, on one form or another, that they want to do their dirty work. As if the government is some kind of entity all its own instead...

Would I have taken a chance? For that amount, no. I will for cheaper stuff, but once "hundred" becomes "hundreds", I'm done playing. I don't feel like potentially losing to the plural. And I don't play the bid war games, either. If I see something I like, I figure out what it's worth to me...

If I go to a gun show and actually find anything gun related that I'm interested in buying, I call that a bonus. For a few decades now I've looked at gun shows as cheap entertainment to occupy me for 2-3 hours. For $10, give or take, I consider that a fair deal. I look for guns I'm interested...

I won't even grace this guy with that much. When the "Big Brass", "Head Honcho", "Senior Leadership", or "HMFWIC" goes in front of anybody in the government to "testify", these people generally know their stuff. They aren't parroting from some mysterious brief because they are living the life...

Well, if people are willing to pay for it, then whatever the price is must not be "too much".

I don't know who this Jason Beck is, but he's an idiot. The world is full of @#$%^&* and idiots, and no field of human effort is free of them. For example, I've seen numerous commercials, articles, etc. where servicemembers take a stand against the AR-15 as a "weapon of war" that civilians...

Yes. Very clearly the first notch (safety notch) was intended to be a safety, by design. And I'm good with that, as far as it goes. However, it's not a very robust safety. The notch itself has a width of about 0.15" and the sear (integral with the trigger tip) is not much wider than that, at...

I wouldn't use magnets on anything firearms related. Using magnets means magnetizing metals, however slightly that may be. And even slightly magnetized metals will act to pick up any debris even remotely magnetic in return. You don't need to encourage that.

Define "accuracy". People who shoot competition have a different standard than people who shoot varmints/small game. For me, any .22 LR capable of putting a bullet through the head of a squirrel at any reasonable hunting distance (call it 50 feet for argument's sake) is plenty accurate enough...

Yes, please! I don't mind subjective opinion, so long as it's clearly stated as such. Like my opinion about esthetics and Glocks. Clearly my opinion about an otherwise excellent firearm, and only expected to apply to me. "I will not carry a firearm without a manual safety" is another example...

No worries! It's very recent and requires looking at the previously existing statutes side-by-side with it in order to understand it all. The actual statutes online haven't been updated to include HB 3594, as yet. So you have to read the two links I provided to get a grip on it. ;)

Found this on D2 steel: https://knifesteelnerds.com/2018/11/05/all-about-d2-steel-knives/

Seems to me that 1911s are already indestructible! BUT...personal opinions are as good a reason as any for what not to carry. I won't own a Glock, much less carry one, simply because I think they're ugly as sin. With all the other perfectly good options out there, I don't see any reason why I...

If I'm shooting, my Colt SAA gets all six holes filled. If I'm carrying my SAA in the holster, it'll be loaded with 5, hammer down on the empty chamber. This is because it doesn't have a transfer bar or other mechanism to keep the hammer from potentially falling/impacting the primer of a...

No. SC is no longer a must inform state, as of the passage of HB 3594 this year. Section 23-31-215 has been amended to remove this requirement. https://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess125_2023-2024/bills/3594.htm https://www.sled.sc.gov/forms/regulatory/Constitutional%20Carry%20Guidance.pdf

I see that some have brought up occasions where an officer requested their weapon to keep it under their control. I've never had this happen. The closest it came to happening, I had been pulled over in the wee hours of the morning by a Virginia State Patrol officer (I drifted across the lane...

Meh... He may have known the registered owner of the vehicle had a carry permit, but not that the registered owner was the driver, nor that the registered owner was actually carrying at that time. And even then, he may not know this unless he specifically requests that information when he runs...

I don't believe the FBI said anything about a self defense scenario only requiring one or two rounds. The closest I've come to this is what they have to say about the "average" gunfight consisting of three rounds fired over three seconds at a distance of three feet. The article I read this in...

Maybe...7 or 8 derringers, then? :p

There is no specific weight for me. Days away from 60 now, the maximum weight is whatever doesn't cause me to have to deal with discomfort/pain due to the constant weight. Not that I'm an invalid, mind you, but I'm not living in the body of a twenty-something anymore. For example, I moved my...
