Hi, I'm headed to Tampa with my family today and we're going to go to the Florida Aquarium. Does anyone know if it is legal to carry there or if they wand as we go through? Thanks.

Hi everybody.... I just bought a fighting/home defense shotgun - a Benelli Supernova (pump). I love it! It has ghost ring sights, a Nordic Components 2 round mag extender, and I am looking to add a Mesa Tactical sidesaddle. I'm curious as to which one I should go with. I'm leaning toward...

Just the other day, we had a real tragedy unfold here in FL. Some lunatic, who owned a large number of firearms murdered his girlfriend and then shot a police officer in the face. He then turned the gun on himself and finished what he started. The police were unable to recover the bodies in...

For some reason, the post didn't go through.... The Obama administration is ramping up to institute a new Assault Weapons Ban and thus strip the American people of a fundamental civil right. This is the right that has helped insure the peaceful transition of power every 4-8 years and...

Hi, A few days back a forumite referred us to a website in which we could express our views regarding law/policy surrounding the RKBA in the national park system. I used their form and submitted my message. They sent me a canned response thanking me for helping their cause and how bad it...

Hi, At the end of this month, I am flying to VA to be in one of my best friend's wedding. I'll be landing in Baltimore, renting a car and heading to VA. I currently hold a FL CCW permit and VA has reciprocity with my state. However, I am concerned about my flying into MD with a handgun...

Ok... I like to read Fark.com It can be pretty darned funny and some of the photoshop contests are not to be believed. However, the majority of posters there seem to be pretty liberal. There was a thread there today involving the discussion of ownership of firearms and I crossed swords with a...

I was originally going to set a Springfield M1A, but funds currently won't allow it. Therefor I did a little more research and found that I actually liked the M4, .223. What brand should I go with for about $1000 base price? I was told that Bushmaster was the way to go, but I'd like to hear...

I've been toying with the idea for a while, but I believe that I need to start getting serious about this. I'm going to buy a rifle - and it's purpose is for home defense. The L.A riots and Katrina really taught me something. I firmly believe in my heart of hearts that we will have another...

I live in Sarasota, Florida which is - for the most part - a fairly safe area. We have our bad spots, but I stay away from them. Unfortunately, my job has me working in very very bad parts of town in Bradenton - in an area the police refer to as "The Box." Anyway, in the event that I...

I went and purchased 200 rounds of .45 ammo today from WalMart and the guy behind the counter asked me for my ID. I figured, "no big deal... I'm just getting carded like when I buy anything alcohol related." But then I got to thinking that I've never had to do this before. I mentioned this to...

I'm looking to buy a new .22 pistol for plinking and target shooting. Mostly I'm looking to do some target shooting (cheap practice when I don't want to spend $$$ on my .45) Any way, for $379, I can get either a Mk III Ruger .22 Hunter with cocobolo grips or a Sig Sauer/Hammerli Trailside with...

Hi guys, I've been carrying my Colt Gov't .45 with Federal Hydrashoks for probably 6 months now - which is about the time I replace my carry ammo and fire off the old stuff. Anyway, I've been informed that Hydrashoks have been found to penetrate too deeply and not produce the degree of...

Right now, I am an account manager for an industrial custodial firm and my duties have me on the jobsite at late hours of the night at times. We have a big account with a major juice manufacturer; but it is unfortunately in a really really bad part of town. Deep in the hood, so to speak. Funny...

Hi everybody! I did some research on the forum here regarding gun vaults and came up with nothing. That is to say, I kept running into negatives and nothing conclusive as to what would be a good gun safe to buy. What I'm looking for is something that can store 2-3 full sized pistols with...

Hi guys... I tend to lurk more than participate, but I have a question that I've been agonizing over for a while. I currently own an HK USP .40 full size frame with two 13 round magazines. I am thinking of trading it in toward a Colt 1911 or 1991/Kimber/Springfield Armory model of .45. Am...
