This was recently posted in the general gun discussion and I did not want to hijack the thread so I am reposting here as a question. Why, in a multiple threat scenario, would you start from the back? I would, and have, planned to start with the closest threat to me because in a gunfight...

So after going a few years without seeing feral hogs on my grandfather's farm they are back. Here are the guns that we have to use. Recommendations on ammunition? AR-15 .223/5.56 Several 12 ga shotguns .270 WSM .30-30 .243 Win The AR will be used by my little brother, as he is too...

In Texas, is it legal for someone over the age of 21 to legally purchase a handgun, then have ownership transferred to someone of age 18-20?

Okay so I am in the market for a new EDC folder. I'm not very well-versed in the knife world, I just want a quality knife that can handle tasks day in and day out. I don't expect it to be needed in a hand to hand fight, but I would like a blade of at least 3". And budget is around $125...

This is a reply to a post on the handgun forum where someone is asking about a .45 ACP or a 9mm for hog hunting.... (The "he" being referred to is the poster's buddy) It is people like this that give hunters (and gun people by association) a bad reputation. Can we not just get a gun adequate...

Okay this is not a hypothetical situation, it was one that I was faced with, however I am not old enough to CCW. I was in front of my house at around 11:30 PM (it is not a bad neighborhood at all), and two young men, I would say in their young 20's, ran up to my house and starting looking...

In a stressed situation, does one notice a difference between a DA trigger vs. a SA trigger? I ask this because some people say that when carrying a SAO pistol (i.e. a 1911) the safety should not come off until you have acquired your target. I feel that the safety should come off while drawing...

Okay, I see that alot of citizens carry BUG's. My question is, how many of the LEO's here (current or retired) carry or carried a BUG while on duty? What kind, and was it kept in a pocket or ankle holster? Also, if you were in a rural, medium, or large city? Was a BUG recommended by the...

I wasn't sure where this thread should go, it is a non-firearm related thread, but is also a legal question. Mods, please move if needed. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knows the laws governing carrying a knife? Specifically, in Texas?

Hey guys, I was wondering what the value is of a Winchester Model 12? 16 ga with a full choked barrel, made around 1943

Ok, so with me being at college my mother and little brother are home alone. My little brother knows how to shoot, but is FAR to young to be able to defend himself and my mother should something happen. Recently, something did happen (but I'm not going to get into what), and it scared my...

According to the Hague Convention: "The present Declaration is only binding for the Contracting Powers in the case of a war between two or more of them. It shall cease to be binding from the time when, in a war between the Contracting Parties, one of the belligerents is joined by a...

Hey guys, so I see when people post what their 600+ yard rifles and handloads are capable of, and I figure its time for me to start reloading. I am getting to the point that shooting with factory ammo is fun, but I would like that extra satisfaction of knowing that I am shooting good groups with...

Ok so I see many people who have suppressors and then I see that some people have CLEO's refuse to sign their form 4's. How hard is it to get one signed? I'm mainly interested in the difficulty of getting one signed in Texas because I am wanting to get started in the NFA game ;)

So I have been looking through a post about aftermarket triggers being run in people's ARs and I have been wanting to get away from the stock trigger in mine. My question is not what trigger to get but rather how easy it is to install a new trigger? Is it something that I can do (will a moderate...

So, I have been waiting to get to open up my new AR for about 2 weeks now and I finally got to. Here she is, a budget doublestar. Along with other Christmas goodies ;)

Ok so I constantly see people saying that a 1 in 9" barrel will have a hard time stabilizing a bullet weighing more than 69 gr. Now this thread is not to argue that at all, what I am wondering is if a 1 in 9" barrel will overstabilize a 55 gr projectile. My question here comes from the fact that...

So I have always wondered if American soldiers used hearing protection and if so, when it began? If there is a better place for this thread, moderators, please move it.

Ok, so my dad and I are getting ourselves doublestar AR's for Christmas. I know they aren't the top of the line, but neither of us has had an AR before and we honestly will not be putting thousands of rounds through them. We just wanted to try it as a fun gun to have and shoot (and from what...

Ok, so for Christmas I will be getting an AR (5.56). My little brother (8 yrs) is really finicky when it comes to recoil but he is excited about shooting it and I feel like he should have no problems with it. We have a hog hunting trip scheduled for right after Christmas and he wants to use MY...
