I've been a fan of the show since it started, in part because it shows folks using firearms for legal and appropriate purposes. I get a good laugh out of some of my relatives that think this show is among the worst on television because it depicts hunting as a normal and routine thing, which...

Without it being in the chamber of a shotgun, I don't see a loose cartridge posing a risk for children or anyone else. I guess a toddler could bite it and ingest the powder and shot, but that doesn't seem a realistic risk for older children. A relative of mine, while at my home, found...

The success of the Left to take over control of the House of Representatives has been blunted to some degree by Republican control of the Senate and by having Trump in the White House. But come 2020, it is not inconceivable that the Left will end up back in control of both houses and the White...

I have been a fan of Life Below Zero since it started, although I am not always sure why. My wife laughs at me, saying that every show is the same, with the characters saying over and over the same things about living in the wild and how they manage as subsistence hunters. She's right, but I...

Not knowing much about rifles, an ad today caught my attention. It was for a HI-Point 9mm carbine for $240. Is it worth considering or should I expect it to be a piece of junk at that low price? Although I own a few handguns, and keep a Mossberg 500 in the house for home defense, right now I...

Anyone know if this show will be returning? I've been a fan since the beginning, although I am not exactly sure why, and I am hoping it returns for another season.

Since I have been licensed to carry I find that I was carrying "most" of the time. I didn't carry in the house, and if I had to run out for a quick trip to the supermarket or gas station I didn't always stop to get my carry gun. But despite living in a "good" part of town, I have become more and...

I'm approaching 74, and not only is my wife of 50 years not at all into guns, only one of my five grown children has any interest in guns at all (and that one is not in a position right now to responsibly keep more than one gun in a small lockbox in his apartment). I never had a big collection...

Does anyone make a really thin cleaning rod that is useful on 22LR handguns? While my "normal" pistol cleaning rod fits into the barrel of my Ruger Mark IV, getting a cotton patch down the barrel is a challenge. I thought that if I could find a skinnier rod it would be much easier to clean this...

Other than the convenience of having to stock less varieties of ammunition, what is the reason for having rifles that fire handgun ammunition? It would seem that one gives up the advantages of the more powerful rifle round for the lesser powerful handgun round, even with the longer barrel as...

I've always relied on, for good or bad, my handguns for home defense. As I age and must recognize that the last thing I can risk is to get into physical combat with an intruder, I'm considering getting a shotgun to keep at the ready in my home. My question has to do with barrel length, i.e...

Not to start the endless discussion as to which caliber is best for self defense, or why the 22LR is the worst, etc., but I have been wondering if there is any data to support the RELIABILITY of one caliber over another. Reliability as in that the round fires when the trigger is pulled...

I don't own very many handguns. Let's just say around a dozen. But I find that I am thinking about selling off several of my guns because I hardly if ever shoot them. I have 3 that I use for concealed carry (different clothes calls for different guns and holsters), one nice range gun (22LR) and...

I know that many folks on this and similar websites bad mouth many of the newer and less expensive firearms, preferring older guns. Not that I think badly of older guns, but it does not take high cost to get a reliable and accurate handgun. Last year I bought a Ruger sr40c for just over $400...

Seems like a tiny Derringer type gun, but carries two extra rounds in the gun itself. Wonder what it is actually like to fire. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/03/28/heres-the-worlds-smallest-45-concealed-carry-pistol/

Scenario: thug comes up behind you, punches you in the back of the head. You fall to the floor and the thug takes your wallet, phone, etc and starts to walk away. Unbeknownst to the thug you are carrying concealed. You draw your weapon and demand the thug stop and return you property. He keeps...

Yesterday I went with family to the Milwaukee County Zoo (a really nice zoo, but expensive admission and parking). On the door to one of the indoor exhibits (the reptiles) was a sign reading that you were prohibited from bringing firearms, concealed or open, into this or other buildings or...

Yesterday on my way out of the Chicago metro area I stopped at a large and popular gun store (GAT, just north of Elgin, IL) that I have occasion to visit periodically. The last time I was there, several weeks ago, they had most types ammo available, at about normal pre-shortage prices, but...

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/05/22/man-killed-in-reported-machete-attack-in-london/ In broad daylight, two Islamic terrorists attacked and killed a British soldier in full view of witnesses. Armed with a cleaver and a machete, they clearly had no worry about being stopped during their...

A few months ago I upped my NRA membership from annual to Life Member, and my check was cashed about 3 weeks ago by the NRA. But I still have not received anything from the NRA acknowledging the change, including a new card. I know that they are very busy with new members joining at record...
