Let's say you were to fire a full powered rifle round at a small mammal or varmint, from the footage I have seen it seems that the animal often "explodes". So if every action has an equal and opposite reaction, why doesn't your shoulder explode? When the small animal does "explode" is it from...

They seem to be highly praised on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-R-01526-Electronic-Earmuff/dp/B001T7QJ9O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313265868&sr=8-1

Two men (father and son) attacked two parking lot attendants after an item went missing from their car. One of the parking lot attendants used a knife to defend himself and his attacker (the son) succumbed to the injuries. Link to a local news piece with a clip of the incident...

I am looking for a knife for my Dad. He plans on carrying it. Some towns and cities around here have ordinances that all carried knives be under 2.5" in length. So he needs a smaller knife, but he really wants a larger sized grip, something to really grab onto. He did not seem to like my SOG...

Can anyone explain why the egg on the far left is the most exploded when it appears to have been hit last? Here: http://i.imgur.com/6XcDN.jpg Found on this website: http://www.ryanmatthewsmith.com/

I know what a riot gun is, shorter barrel longer magazine tube, at least I think that's what it is. Where does this term come from? Did they have less lethal loads back when it was created, or was it understood that people would need lead shot in defense from a mob? This article got me...

This is a thread on a website called "Reddit" where a past mugger answers some questions. I do not feel it is too insightful but there seems to be a few things to learn. I found it interesting how he and his cohorts would choose their victims (usually alone and drunk female college students from...

Extremely simple firearms with few parts tend to interest me very much. For example I love older single shot 22s, and when someone on this forum posted a picture of an old 22 single shot with a thumb trigger I nearly [had an involuntary reaction of the most publicly embarrassing sort]. I am...

So I understand that a ("standard") rifle is considered more effective than a ("standard") handgun. Say we compare a 9mm to a 5.56: Why is the rifle projectile more effective on a human target? What about a .308, why would that be more effective? I understand rifle rounds travel faster, but what...

This was prompted after reading another thread that mentioned panic at a gun show after a shot rang out. Anytime you are in a crowd you are in danger of being trampled or crushed. Read about some of notable incidents in the past decade here...

Here is an interesting video. Apparently this guy was denied a CCL, so he decided to open carry an AK in protest. Here is 9 minutes into the clip when the cops arrive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUd_00Xrf_U&t=9m *Some inappropriate language may be heard in parts of this clip.

So I was looking to pic up a a Ruger Mk III or II and I was wondering if I should get the bull barreled one, or the regular tapered one. I like the look of the tapered one better but I am wondering what advantage a bull barrel would bring. Seems the vast majority of guys on Rimfire Central have...

Alan Korwin of Gunlaws.com was on the CNN show "Parker Spitzer" regarding gun laws (derr) and I must say he represented himself and his views very well. For people in other time zones or who will be up later tonight (or maybe you can DVR it or watch it online) it may be worth watching. Nothing...

I am looking for websites and companies that sell quality Gunleather. So far I am aware of: -El Paso Saddlery -Andrews Custom Leather -Don Hume -High Noon -The Belt Man -Galco -Simply Rugged Holsters -Turners Slings ...are there any others to look into? I am not looking for...

A while ago I came across a graph that listed the 50 states along with their policies regarding allowance of, or restrictions on SBRs, suppressors, NFA items and the like. I can't seem to find it anymore though. Does anyone know where I can find similar info (all in one place)? Thanks.

You often hear people say something like "If you are mugged, just hand over your wallet, is it really worth taking a life over?" The obvious question though is where does it end? A wallet, car, house, livelihood? Many of us interested in self defense would prefer to cede nothing, we would...

I'll start: Honda Accord and Glock 19 Polaris side by side ATV and SU-16 Corvette and M1A Scout Squad Ford F-150 and AR-15

-The denial of the self evident truth of the equality of all men, the alienation of rights, and the endangerment of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. -The disruption of unity, justice, common defence, and general welfare of the people of the United States. -Infringement of the...

In my state of Massachusetts to own a gun, even a bolt action rifle, you need to get a FOID (firearms owners identification). To get this you needs to take a simple class and than apply with the chief of police in your resident town. Or you could take a CCL class and apply for both your CCL and...
