I realize the codes differ from state to state, and that only the courts can decide on specific cases, but I'm wondering what the 'legal landscape' is like these days in regard to defense of property when it's a firearm. Sample scenario (I'm sure you can think of others): Guy breaks into your...

I just wanted to give credit where it's due: I inadvertently (that's Latin for "like an idiot") left the batteries sitting in my EOTech 511 long enough for one of them to corrode and mess up the terminals. I contacted EOTech's service via email to ask about repairs, and shortly got a reply...

I'm thinking about thinning the herd, and my Google-fu is failing me. Anyone want to take a shot (heh heh) at what a fair price would be for this package? T/C Encore pistol, blue, bought new - Like New condition T/C .223 bbl, blue, 12", adj. sights, bought new - Like New condition T/C...

I'm sure there are some *holes* (pun intended) in my thinking here, so counting on y'all to point them out. Carrying an NAA Mini in .22LR vs carrying a good knife. Accurate Range NAA: point blank Knife: point blank Advantage: tie Damage NAA: makes a hole that's .2" x .2" Knife...

Friend of mine is executor for her ex's estate since her (their) daughter is sole heir. Yesterday she wanted me to take a look at a couple of rifles he'd had to see whether they were NFA or not, or in her words, if they were machine guns. None of them were, but here's what she had -- this is...

Yet another example of why you couldn't pay me to live in the UK -- and I don't even smoke: "Smoking will also be banned in residential homes."

Like the title says, I'm newly relocated from No. VA to Austin, and was wondering if anyone here has taken the TX CCW class at Red's in Pflugerville, and whether you'd recommend it or not. TIA, - 0 -

OK, yet another thread where you get to pimp your favorite maker. Here's what I'm looking for: Fixed blade Under 6" (blade, not overall) to comply with TX laws Edit: Under 5.5" Doesn't cost an arm and a leg, but is good quality even if not creme de la creme Comes with a sheath that can be used...

Anyone know much about these rifles? I just acquired one through my fiance', who got it from her late grandfather. Seems to be in decent shape internally, though in need of cleaning. Outside of metal has some rust and minor pitting, but bore looks ok. Oddly, I can't find a s/n, unless this is...

I think I need one of these.

Anyone still believe these scum are fighting the "US invasion," as opposed to attempting to destabilize the democratic process? This isn't about repelling the Coalition, it's about fighting for Wahabbist, extremist, lawless, bigoted, and violent Islam and against Moderate, democratic Islam. They...

According to the UN, someone - the report doesn't say who - has moved the WMD materials that they* claim don't exist, from 109 different sites in Iraq. U.N.: Weapons Material Taken From Iraq UNITED NATIONS — U.N. satellite imagery experts have determined that material that could be used...

I was never a big Eagles fan, but this song just says it all... Get Over It I turn on the tube and what do I see A whole lotta people cryin' 'Don't blame me' They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves Victim of...

Anyone used a moving company to relocate? What did you do with your guns? Did they move them as well? Or...? - 0 -

Y'know, I don't mind learning as I go along -- in fact I rather enjoy it -- I just wish it didn't involve small pieces flying off at random angles across the room. On the bright side, I now know more about detent pins and springs than I did! :D

Can anyone point me to a comparison of the ballistics between the .30-30 and the .410 slug? I'm still hankering for another levergun, but am waffling between the Model 94 and the 9410. Thanks, - 0 -

Leaving aside the pros and cons of a so-called car/truck gun, what do you consider the best caliber for a lever-action rifle, in terms of balancing cost, effectiveness and round capacity? (I'm thinking of a mix of urban/suburban/rural areas.) Assume no local legal issues (e.g. Sullivan Law...

Any good-but-inexpensive leatherworkers in the house? I recently bought a Cold Steel Oyabun with the 9" blade (yeah, try to find a place where it's legal to carry that!), and can't stand the plastic sheath that came with it. I'd like to have a simple and not too expensive leather sheath instead...

Man, that's a LOT of gun! Finally got around to shooting my Desert Eagle this morning. Went to the range for a short session since it was the first time in ages (last Summer, before the job change), with 100 rounds of .45 Blazer and a box of 20 of the .50AE. In no particular order: *...
