    Kansas legal question

    Can someone in Kansas who is over 18 but under 21 use a handgun if they are with someone who is over 21? Specifically, if I want to go to an indoor range and bring a friend along who is 20 (I'm over 21), would we both be able to shoot handguns there? Thanks for any responses.

    ATF parts import extension

    Not that this makes their latest "interpretation" okay, but apparently we're going to be allowed to keep importing until the end of the year rather than only a 60 day window. Link

    Who's laughing now?

    They sure were happy about ruining the lawsuit bill last year, but I anticipate no photo shoots this evening. :neener:

    Kansas gun laws

    I'll be moving to KS at the end of the month; are there any weird laws of which I should be aware? I know carrying concealed is illegal, but having lived in Illinois all my life, I'm used to that sort of thing. It appears that other than no CCW and no NFA items, Kansas's state laws aren't...

    Ranges in Eastern Kansas

    I'm moving to the KC area on the Kansas side next month, and I was wondering if there are any good shooting facilities around there. Any input is highly appreciated.

    National Parks

    I know the NPS forbids carrying weapons within their jurisdiction, but you can you transport a firearm in a national park (sort of like Illinois style - unloaded and locked in a case)?

    Illinois - AWB bill dead

    This was posted on the ISRA website this morning: Executive Director Richard Pearson writes from Springfield: I am ready to declare HB990, HB1098, and HB2414 dead for the forseeable future. The only way they could come back before adjounment would be as an amendment to a shell bill. I do...

    IL Senate results - Important

    I just got off the phone with Tim Duckworth, who is an extremely helpful staff member for the Senate Democrats. He did some quick checking for us, and this is the situation: SB0057 - establishes a system with the ISP requiring background checks at gun shows but eliminates waiting periods for...

    VPC suddenly on our side

    Here's the link to their "open letter to gun owners": http://www.vpc.org/classaction.htm Judge for yourself, but I'm not fooled for a second. An organization whose entire purpose is to destroy the Second Amendment is trying to do me a favor all of a sudden? No thanks.

    Gewehr 43

    I've been doing a bit of reading lately about these rifles, and I'd be lying if I said I don't covet one now. Unfortuantely, they don't seem to be very common, and taking one home would be to the tune of ~$1,000+. Does anyone here own one? If so, where did you get it? Any chance someone will...

    Michael Moore's bodyguard arrested on a gun violation

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,144921,00.html So people do need firearms for personal protection after all? I guess the answer is yes, if by "people" you mean "wealthy celebrities".

    Careers

    I wasn't sure where exactly this post would fit best, so I thought I'd start here. My dilemma is that I'm very interested in getting a job with the NRA, and I've applied numerous times to legislative-type vacancies in the past 18 months. Unfortunately, my resumes and letters have failed to...

    Oil

    What brand of oil do you use on your firearms? Are there specific brands of oil particularly suited for specific brands of firearms? Much obliged for any feedback.

    For my friends in Illinois

    Following is an excerpt from a recent ISRA newsletter: Our Lobby Day in Springfield is planned for February 23, 2005. For those who plan to attend, we will meet in the basement cafeteria at the Stratton Building located at the intersection of College and Monroe. Registration will begin at...

    Wal-Mart being sued

    http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20041221/ap_on_re_us/gun_lawsuit Obviously an asinine lawsuit, but what do you expect. Hopefully the Lawful Commerce in Arms Act will rise again soon.

    SKS literature

    Can anyone recommend some good reading material about the SKS. I'm interested in general background information, history, technical specifications (nothing wretchedly complex, though)? Ideally I'd like to find something that covers all the national variations.

    Ronnie Barrett goes to bat for us again

    It's very encouraging when someone in the industry speaks up on behalf of the public. http://dnj.midsouthnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20041219/NEWS01/412190318/1002 I've hear rumors he is not going to sell any new rifles to CA law enforcment agencies or service their existing...

    "Gun Ban Rod"

    Not that this should shock anyone here (especially fellow Illinoisans), but it's nice to have all of our governor's reasonable safety proposals archived in one place. http://www.gunbanrod.com
