Around here we often talk about avoiding random acts of violence, but I was wondering does anyone have any good advice on defense against potential targeted threats from parties unknown. I don't want to say too much specific here, because other parties involved don't want this to be public...

I am writing this because of an incident that happened here a few hours ago, and I am wondering what you think the correct thing to do is, in case it ever happens again. First a little bakground, I live in a mostly quiet mid sized town in the south, fairly low crime rate area, at least low...

I just saw this video from a pair of internet gun experts, and thought I would ask, can you count the mistakes? I know there were enough that I lost track. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYa6tY3uN1A

Last weekend I was in a major chain sporting goods store and saw what appeared to be a straw purchase being suggested by the person behind the counter. Keep in mind I was there shopping for other stuff and this is based on the limited amount I could not keep from over hearing while waiting to...

This may be an odd question, but if you had to pick a defensive load for home defense using an older tubular magazine style Ruger 44 carbine semi-auto, what would you pick? This is for a relative and the only guns they own (mostly inherited) are .22's (rifle and pistol), along with a...

I ate lunch at a local sandwich shop today, when I went to pay at the register I saw a book of raffle tickets sitting on the counter for a gun raffle being ran by one of the local civic clubs. This is not surprising, but is less common around here than it once was, still it is nice to know I...

Around here it seems like the shelves at sporting goods stores are getting very bare. First it was ammo and now it seems to be guns also, last week I was in Academy Sporting Goods in a nearby city at about 2PM on a weekday and the ammo aisle was looking very bare, the only handgun caliber...

So do you think we are going to see another boost to the gun/ammo buying craze as people start getting their tax refunds?

I was just wondering if we have any web site that is tracking commitment level to preserve our 2a rights based on the email responses being offered by our senators and congresssmen? I ask because I have emailed both my senators and my congressman and have now received canned replies from all...

If our side is going to win this one we need to float a few sound gun law ideas of our own. Here is one I think many of us would not object to, maybe not ideal, but I am working from the starting point we are at today: 1, Require proof of safe firearms handling training before a person can buy...

There is a lot of talk of comprimise now, but I have a different question for you. Would you support a change in minimum age to buy any semi-auto up to 21 (handgun, rifle or shotgun), if at the same time we were to lower the age to 16 or 17 (say same age as drivers license in any given state)...

Given the market conditions, what would you consider a fair price on a used Universal M-1 Carbine in good condition? Trying to use completed listing or even current ones on GB is useless at the moment, There is one on the used rack at a LGS marked $499, and I am not sure if I should jump on it...

I was just wondering if there is any sign of the gun buying craze slowing where you are? I ask because I was just in a local sporting goods store (main LGS is closed until after new years) and the shelves were looking bare in the gun department . To put this in perspective I bought an AR...

For the legal schollars out there, what would be the potential worst case timeline for a must purchse by date for grandfathered guns if there were another AWB repeat? This assumes existing guns were grandfathered in. I assume it would not go into effect the day the bill was signed (there are...

Just a few minutes ago I think I may have had someone probing my house as a potential burglary target. I had just finished watching the NRA press conference and was about to leave to go to work when someone started knocking LOUDLY on the front door, the dog went nuts, and I yelled loudly be...

I spent a few hours yesterday sitting in waiting rooms at a hospital in the Texas Medical Center in Houston yesterday while my wife was having some tests ran. At one point I decided to browse the net on my android tablet using the hospital's complimetary guest wifi, checked my email, the news...

My wife and I find ourselves unexpectedly in the market for a new home, it is a long story, but the short version is a developer wants to buy up all the land on our block. So we have started looking for houses, and I am wondering how much of a concern do you place on defensive layout when you...

Just wondering what your thoughts are on wearing body armor (concealed or not) to the gun range? Is it prudent or paranoid? I ask while thinking back on a recent visit to a local handgun range where there were a number newbies learning to shoot, often from people that had no business teaching...

I have a potential oportunity to be involved in a business that provides a playing field for paintball and other toy shooting sports that mostly involve shooting at opponents with projectile firing markers (guns). I am not sure where I draw my personal line about the idea of kids (teens) and...
