Question for attorney or someone knowledgeable of the process Here is a link to an incident in Target where a man uses a butcher knife an randomly stabs a female customer. A number of commenters ask why the charge is only assault. Why is it the charge is sometimes attempted murder...

I am debating the purchase of my first 1911. I have small hands and heard the 1911 was more comfortable for some. I liked the way colts grip safety was flush when all the other models i've handled have a "bump" that sticks into my palm. I was told that this was not too expensive to replace in...

I have searched the forum (and others), but it was finding too many non-specific results, and not what i'm looking for. Can someone please tell me about brand new Colt 1911's. I found one in local store and like the way it feels in hand compared to kimbers and sig saur (which i was almost...

Have you, or can you point me to, any information about selecting long guns for children. And/or preparing children for learning firearms safety and then shooting. I've heard of the NRA eddie eagle, but not sure what the is. My wife is a nuclear security officer, needs range time on her AR...

A friend suggested that a streamlight TRL-3 can be snapped onto the handgun (Glock in my case) when needed. The problem stems from the fact that the holsters i own don't accomodate the Glock whenthe light is attached. Is this doable, or practical? P.S., not sure which forum this belongs in...

Hello, i recall seeing various discussions advising NOT using certain ammo in certain autoloaders, but can't keep it straight. My wife just bought a Glock 22, .40 cal, to practice before an academy session with the org. she works with. I found the 100 round white box SWC (semi wad cutter i...

I looked over a SW 28 at a store today. Saw some crud/discoloration in the barrel. I wanted to go home and look at the thread here on how to look over a revolver before i talk to the store about buying it. the discoloration is like the coloring on a cow, clean blotches swirled in with...

A few years ago, i came across a video clip. Looked like surveillance from Mexico, a small store. Two police officers holding and talking to badguy #1, while badguy #2 stands a few feet away as if not involved. I think badguy #2 even says something to police as he watches. After a few seconds...

A while back there were reports inour local news of robberies targeting women with small children/infants, using that threat as leverage. I recalled this fact while reading the thread here re: BabyOnBoard sticker where people here were suggesting the opposite, that BGs avoid involving children...

The local news here is reporting this case, the particulars are available through the links below. She is claiming that she was not obligated to register her handgun. In california, my understanding is that there is no "registration" only the transfer process required when exchanging firearms...

i've been watching re-runs of the Rockford Files. A number of times he mentions he doesn't have a permit, but at least once they even mentioned that his gun was not registered. My understanding is that guns do not need to be registered in California. Is this correct? Was that also true in...

http://www.ksby.com/Global/story.asp?S=9077324 I read the linked article about "unregistered" handguns seized in a traffic stop. It confused me-my understanding was that there was no registration of handguns, or is that at the Federal level only? I'm slightly aware of the paperwork involved...

The response by Mark-in-California voiced my concern, "The article leaves the impression she was convicted/plead guilty to a Felony. First time convictions of a CCW a violation is a misdemenanor as long as the weapon is regestered to you." My understanding from the packing.org website was...

Can anyone attest to the quality of FN Police pump shotgun? I found one offer/sale price at $350 for the 8 round model. I am looking to buy a home defense shotgun, of which i have already posted a few questions. And would consider this item if it is worth the extra dollars beyond the basic...

Like the many others here i am considering adding a shotgun or two for homedefense/survival mode for my wife and i, both smaller people. I can spend extra $ if necessary but of course don't want to buy unnecessary features. I live in California near the Ocean, and like in the New Orleans...

Hello, I live in California in a commercial/residential building/complex. These are mostly business offices so most people do not realize that people live in the two apartments on the second level of one of the buildings. My question is, "How far can i legally carry my handgun if i am...

I just read a thread speculating about handgun cartridges for grizzly bear defense. I know there are even more threads on the subject, but the discussion made me wonder of the need for hands on testing of handguns to kill grizzly bear. I'm not promoting the indescriminate slaughter of the...

...apart from never allowing that to happen again. :rolleyes: My S&W 686 was in its padded nylon uncle mikes holster when it slid off the box i set it on. :banghead: It thumped onto the carpeted floor. I did not see how it landed so i can not say if it landed well or not (if there is such...

I know how to use the search function but there are far too many uses of the term that do not explain exactly what this means. Since i have just bought a new Glock and i have seen many warnings agains limp wristing, i am eager to know what it means. any helpful explanation is appreciated...
