My Aunt was cleaning out a house she is trying to sell. In the attic she found three old revolvers. Knowing I am the family gun nut she packed them in a box and dropped them off at my door the other night. Of the first two, one is not safe to fire (due to it being cheap junk) and th eother...

Today I met a gentleman from the UK who asked me about the possibility of obtaining a Florida CCW permit. He is a legal resident of the USA, but not a naturalized citizen and has been in the states for a number of years. Honestly I had no advice to give him other then suggest he get in touch...

From the American Journal of Roentgenology comes this account of a 1991A1 slam firing after impacting an MRI machine at high speed. (giant magnets are cool) Article format isn't post friendly click the link to see the pictures. This seems like a very bizarre set of circumstances leading to...

I have a Bushmaster Modular Carbine that I am thinking about putting a red-dot sight on. If I have the optic cowitnessed with the iron sights will I have to do anything special to zero it? Logic would say no, but as we all know logic has nothing to do with real life.

It has been a while since I was able to visit THR. I have been doing contract security work on a US military installation and stuck with using the Army's internet through the MWR. Their webfilter blocks THR and every other gun website you can think of. I am afraid the modern Army clasifies...

As some of you may know I started working last year as a corrections officer. We don't use firearms very often in our job although we have a few secured at the jail for use on transports and just in case. I was aware that the agency issue handgun was a .38 revolver. Nothing wrong with this at...

My buddy just called from the range. Where he and his Mom are spending a few hours together. His S&W model 29 of late seventies early eighties vintage has started spitting lead shavings out to the side from the gap between the cylinder and barrel when he fires. Aside from this the revolver is...

I have recently gotten a job as a Corrections Officer. I have only been on the job for a few weeks. At the moment there is a movement among the CO's to unionize under the PBA. A vote will be held soon to decide whether or not we will go with them. I know next to nothing about unions in...

I am hoping to go to some firearms training courses in the next year or so. One thing I have read is that plastic baseplates on magazines have a tendency to break. Especially when subjected to the kind of abuse that can be found at these courses. (For example rapid reloads dropping the...

The Japanese government in the wake of the recent hostage drama in Iraq has urged Japanese citizens to exercise personal responsibility and not count on the government to solve all their problems. The NY Times is outraged at this...

Australia gets even worse. This is why we must never give up in our RKBA struggles. http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s1061207.htm

They aren't giving them guns, but many schoolteachers in Japan are getting trained to use medieval pole arms to defend their charges with the express approval of the police. http://www.asahi.com/english/lifestyle/TKY200402210158.html The buzzers that story mentioned that the children wear...

***Second try*** As 6 am rolled around I was just getting into bed after spending waaaaay to much time on the internet. Shortly after turning the light off and resting my head on the pillow I heard something that sounded distinctly like a man's voice coming through my closed window. Opening...

I am not sure if this is appropriate on this board or not. If it isn't mods please lock it. http://news.scotsman.com/uk.cfm?id=93982004 *Sigh* England truly is the country located where Great Britain used to be.

That's right the rifle every British soldier loves to hate is gonig to be "improved" yet again. http://news.scotsman.com/uk.cfm?id=92352004

I will be traveling to Shand's University Hospital in Gainesville in the near future. The hospital is located on the grounds of the University of Florida. It is a teaching hospital where people in the university's medical program learn to be doctors, but it is also a public hospital. I am not...

I have been trying to join the Army. I have a few questionable things on my medical record. My recruiter and the head of the recruiting station told me to lie on all of the forms. This Monday I went to MEPS in Jacksonville FL. Of course I am no fool and told the truth on all the forms. The...

This is just sickening. I can understand a cop pretending to arrest a kid to set them straight on something that could get them in trouble when they are older. But this is way beyond anything that should tolerated in this country. The cop shouldn't be fired, he should be tarred, feathered, and...

Long story follows. Fellow Highroader 13XX's girlfriend was taken to the hospital today. It isn't really my place to give out the details, but if you guys could remember them in your prayers I am sure it would be appreciated. 13xx wasn't able to get off work until around 12:30 tonight and...
