Okay, lots of information and opinions in this thread. To add to the conversation, I was at my lake home in Wisconsin and was at a garage sale. Had a nice (over-priced) used pistol for sale. I have a Minnesota CC permit, Wisconsin reciprocates, could I have purchased it without FFL?

Did the Nazis not use 9mm handguns with low power loads for much of the Einsatzgruppen and other Holocaust shootings? I don’t know that I’ve ever read what ‘low power loads’ actually meant though.

My M1a, due to nostalgia for the 1969 rifle issued me in USMC Boot Camp

I used to listen to NPR programming. They have always aired programs wherein a liberal speaker‘s full speech is broadcast, a hour or so. I have never heard a conservative speaker allowed this long of a time. Then, in order that they can claim to provide “balanced” coverage, they bring in a...

I think I turned my wife into a gun nut. You say this like it’s a bad thing.

Why can’t you take a small rare earth magnet, the kind that comes in a silver cup, like at any Home Depot or Menards, and screw it under the top of the table and stick your weapon to it. A 75 cent solution.

I'm very much for the idea of supporting your LGS. Or any other type of product. Not just weapons, but tools, toasters, hardware, anything. It's worth the $40-50 bucks on a $400-$800+ item to establish a relationship with a local guy trying to make a living. Provided the LGS is not populated...

I am thrilled that the OP has a wife so thoughtful and in tune with his likes. A wonderful present. That said, Have the rules loosened up here? Cause several years ago there was a thread with a pic about a guy who took his wife shooting and I wrote "you, sir, are a lucky man." It gained me a...

I will second this about the movie "Taking Chance". If you want to feel really proud of your country, watch this movie. Kevin Bacon did a fantastic job in it.

I'm glad someone posted this Bill Whittle video correlating gun ownership numbers and murder rates by country.

We all are proud of our capitalism, but if you support the concepts of capitalism and free market (which I do) you have to accept the ability of anyone pricing anything at any price they think they can get. The market will correct pricing by lack of sales at inflated prices, it's all supply and...

I guess I have to disagree with Coaltrain about the balance of ideas one gets on NPR. I listen to it on the road. Admittedly, I have no data to support my observations, but it seems that they usually play an entire 50 min speech by a left-leaning speaker, then the last ten minutes they...

First off, if you look up the definition of "Well Regulated" that was in use at that time the 2A was written, it meant "well run and equipped", not well controlled. Secondly, at the end of 2A it doesn't say "the right of the militia members to keep and bear arms", it says "the right of the...

Does a M1a qualify as being an AK-type weapon? If you can buy a Mini-14, how about the civilian version of a real m-14? Or did I misread your post; that you have a grandfathered Mini-14.

Handgun- Glock 41 Long gun - M1a

For an interesting analysis of gun numbers and violence, go to YouTube, search for Bill Whittle and watch his video called, "First with a Bullet".

I really liked the 8 ga double barrel that Viggo Mortenson carried in "Appaloosa". Also like the relationship between his character and Ed Harris' character.

Get some good Barbeque. In Memphis I could tell you where, but some Texans could maybe have some suggestions. You could perhaps arrange for a one day wild boar hunt some place in Tx. The Alamo is a national monument, but might not mean as much to an Aussie. Hot air balloon ride isn't...

Maybe Mr Bloomberg owns a .45 cal 1911.
