So I was switching through the channels when I saw Bill O'Reilly perform the bullet points segment on his show. According to him, the ACLU is a dangerous organization composed entirely of traitors. I had put some thought into whether or not I would join the ACLU (I already joined the NRA), and...

I've been shooting for almost a year now, and I was wondering what the generally accepted standards for a 'good' shot were. I have no doubt in my mind that I haven't reached that level just yet, but I'm curious as to what to strive for. What is the typical range and grouping for someone who's...

From: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uslatest/story/0,1282,-5371552,00.html Does anyone still live with the illusion that can rely on anything else for your safety in a disaster?

Okay, birthday's coming up and I'm buying myself a birthday present. I've got it narrowed down to two choices, but I'm not sure what I want. I'm a college student who does a ton of shooting at the local indoor range, and most of my purchases are handguns because that's what I can shoot there...

I got this in the mail from a friend of mine. His shooting buddy is the son mentioned in the e-mail, and several of my friends were at the property shooting. Believe me when I say they all acted in a safe and appropriate manner, and the accusations are totally false. I can't find the...

I'm looking for training in the MD area for concealed carry / tactical pistol courses. I did a brief search on Google and here, but I wasn't able to find anything. I live pretty close to the MD/DC/VA border. What would you guys recommend? What are some of the better local (and national)...

The Firing Range over at Somethingawful.com's forums is running a thread called "The Red Zone", where people examine potential CCW scenarios and think of how they would react. From what I understand it was something from a newsgroup a long time ago; does anyone have a copy of it?

From http://www.diamondbackonline.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2005/09/19/432e7a02ac390 I have a lot of trouble seeing paintballs as a material worthy of a conviction.

Thought you guys might enjoy this. The Diamondback is the student newspaper for the University of Maryland. On Friday they had an article about students taking aikido for self defense, despite the fact that Maryland has the highest armed robbery rate in the country. So I wrote them a letter...

I just joined the NRA. I said that their actions in NO would serve as a litmus test for me, and seeing that they've actually sent inspectors down cinched it for me. So you guys have another member.

I was wondering if anyone here had a MD CCW, and if so what restrictions were placed upon it. I work with explosives, and believe that my position qualifies as a professional justification to warrant a CCW. I'm curious as to whether or not other people in my position were able to get a CCW in...

Check out www.rottentomatoes.com for the movie review of Lord of War. Looks like the story turns out blatantly anti-gun. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/lord_of_war/ My personal favorite is this one... I still want to see it for some reason.

I have a 22" Saiga 12. How can I determine what choke it has, and whether or not it can fire slugs? The barrel doesn't seem to have any restrictions on it, and it's smooth. I'm new to shotguns so the deal with the choke is a mystery to me. I know it tightens up the pattern, but I don't...

I just wrote this column and sent it to the Diamondback, the student newspaper at the University of Maryland. I doubt they will publish it, but I thought you guys might enjoy reading it.

Has anyone had any experience with a long slide doublestack 1911? I would assume it would be one heavy mother, but I've become interested in them and wanted to know what other people thought. I'm thinking of taking a stainless Para Ord and having a longslide stainless Caspian slide fitted to...

Hey all, I want to pick up a .22LR plinker, but most of the ones I've encountered feel tiny to me. I'm 6'9" and have trouble finding long arms that fit well (my Saiga 12 fits well, and my Yugo SKS feels a bit short, for example). Any suggestions for a scoped .22 plinker that won't break the...

I'm interesting in learning more about optics. Mostly for target shooting, but also for a little bit of hunting. Basically I know nothing about the subject at the moment, and would like to change that.

http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2005/Aug-02-Tue-2005/news/26983251.html Wow. I hope he gets the help he deserves. That mugger certainly did.

Does anyone know if there are any retailers of 80% doublestack 1911 frames? I googled for a bit but haven't found anything conclusive. I'm interested in building my own 1911 from scratch.

Picked up the newest member of the family last week; a 22" cylinder bore Saiga 12. I got gouged at $450 used (barely), but given the way things are going with the imports I figured the risk was worth it. Took it trap shooting. Turns out I can't shoot clays at all, but the gun fired...
