    Gun trusts? Saiga/AK clone from TN to CA/OR.

    You need a lawyer who is well-versed in California state firearms law if you want a good answer to that question.

    .300 Ripoff? Part 1: Real 10% ballistic gelatin

    Because in a 8-10" barrel, 7.62x39 is basically the same as supersonic .300 BLK (arguably inferior even) but with more blast and flash, and a taper that works poorly in AR15 mag wells. 6.8 is handy in a short package; but again flash, blast and more parts to change. Plus I can't swap a...

    Do You Carry With a Round In the Chamber While You CC or OC?

    Your risk analysis is faulty. The relevant issue isn't only how often someone loses a fight because they didn't have a round chambered - though we can show at least a half dozen anecdotal cases of where that was important, The relevant issue is whether you think you have a higher risk of...

    Opinion Change - Safety Course Should Be Required

    So if you have to take a safety course to hunt on public land, or take a safety course to carry a firearm in public for self-defense already, then what additional benefit is gained by making a safety course a prerequisite of ownership that justifies the risk of that slippery slope? You don't...

    Opinion Change - Safety Course Should Be Required

    You know, if it weren't for the not insignificant portion of our elite leadership who think that you and I are utter imbeciles merely for wanting to own a gun, I might agree with you. Sadly, they've demonstrated repeatedly they are willing to twist the words of well-meaning legislation to...

    Wounded Indianapolis officer confronts law protecting gun sellers

    Well, I don't know I would describe it as conspiratorial. Nefarious might be a little closer to the mark though. It is hard not to take it personally when the Executive whose job it is to faithfully administer the laws is reducing firearms prosecutions (an area in which he has unquestioned...

    Wounded Indianapolis officer confronts law protecting gun sellers

    I don't think it is a tin-foil hat claim to point out that there is a massive discrepancy between the number of NICS denials and the number of related firearms prosecutions. (See: https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/bjs/grants/239272.pdf) In 2010, that is 72,659 denials just via the FBI NICS...

    The Democrats Will Never Confiscate Your Guns. Instead, You’ll Hand them Over.

    More importantly, if you can't organize in enough numbers to win the political battle, there is no way you'd win a violent conflict. Something like 9% of eligible voters even bother to take part in the primaries. In some Texas counties with millions of population, important law enforcement...

    Do You Carry With a Round In the Chamber While You CC or OC?

    Gee, and here I've been carrying a Hi-Power almost daily with a round in the chamber for over 20 years. And all that time the only thing preventing it from firing was the manual safety, the firing pin safety and actually pressing the trigger.

    Do You Carry With a Round In the Chamber While You CC or OC?

    The only reason I would not have a round chambered is if I was for some reason forced to carry a pistol I didn't trust or in a situation where I lacked adequate gear (Mexican carry of a Glock). Any handgun I am carrying that I selected? That will be in Condition One. As for why, I can show...

    Philosophy: Weapons Light vs. Rule 2

    I think that's a key point. Much like a firearm, you can do a lot of stupid things with a weapon-mounted light that will make your situation worse. However, the fact you can make bad decisions with a tool doesn't make that tool useless.

    Philosophy: Weapons Light vs. Rule 2

    Let's talk about using light strategically in a home defense situation. One thing I like to do is use nightlights. I'll use bright nightlights in the main living areas that are central to movement in the home. I'll use dimmer nightlights in the areas that channel movement (hallways mainly)...

    AR-10 (OBR) scope mount - two piece rings ok?

    I've shot out to 600yds with my Larue mounted optics and never had any issues with zero shift - even after removing and remounting the optic between shots. Having said that, all of that shooting was on intermediate caliber AR15s. Nothing .308. Honestly, I'd just explain what you want to Mark...

    commercial "subsonic" 300 blackout ammo actually subsonic?

    I've used Magnetospeed to check 3 of my subsonic loads (9" barrel) The 208gr. AMAX from Hornady is solidly subsonic. The budget Remington 220gr load is a bit hotter though and can occasionally cross the line where you get a crack. I'm guessing out of a 16" barrel, it is a bit closer.

    AR BCG Choices

    I have multiple Fail Zero BCGs, NP3 BCGs, etc. My general thought is the milspec BCG is still the best value. You'd have to be in the top 10% of shooters by volume to notice any difference anyhow.

    How To Gently Squeeze Trigger In Rapid Fire?

    That is one of the things I've noticed. If you grip tightly enough with the offhand to minimize sympathetic squeeze in the strong hand, you can shoot much faster - especially if you have a good, smooth trigger. Shooting my Hi-Power I almost have to come off the the trigger to shoot fast...

    My Gun Range was Closed, Safety Issue!

    FYI: In Texas, property owners who have posted signs warning of video surveillance but did not actually use any working cameras have been successfully sued in civil court. The case I'm thinking of involved a public parking garage where a woman was assaulted and later learned there was no video.

    My Gun Range was Closed, Safety Issue!

    End of July, a range I shoot at had a member accidentally shoot a local gun store owner in the lower abdomen/upper leg with an AK from 2 feet away. Based on what I read, he apparently pointed the muzzle down the firing line and pulled the trigger in the process of attempting to show the rifle...

    RIP RC Model sad news

    I'm sorry to hear that. I've often enjoyed reading rcmodel's commentary. I hope he is enjoying shooting on that evergreen range.

    I didn't read any of the previous pages. Are we having the ol' "I don't have the time or energy to vote; to teach youth how to responsibly use a firearm; to be a responsible role model to my neighbors and community for firearms use - but come the revolution I'm totally going to get up off my...
