Received an urgent alert this morning from the NRA-ILA to get in touch with my State reps about a couple of gun bills; one shifting the burden of proof in SYG to the prosecution and, the other, clarifying castle doctrine. They even included Governor Scott's email. Unfortunately, my Governor is...

Perhaps the wrong term. I have a Rossi lever gun in .454 with a Skinner peep sight on it. The recoil tends to shake the sight loose. I am concerned about putting too much force on the itsy Allen screws on the sight, likewise, I would like to be able to adjust windage. Is there some goo that...

For our Virginia members. Lots of news lately about felons getting voting rights restored in VA, do they get 2A rights as well?

Police procedurals, along with fingerprints and DNA love ballistic comparisons. My question is does anyone know of a story, show, movie, etc. where the bad guy switches barrels on a pair of semi-autos to shift the blame. Is this even a feasible idea? thanks in advance

Took the grown children out to lunch Sunday. A guy came up with a dessert for our SIL because he was wearing a tee shirt with a quote from Vermont State Constitution. That is the one that guarantees RKBA. I thanked him as we left

When an anti-gun person uses this term, they betray their focus. The phrase is two words, a noun, and an adjective. Clearly, the noun, "violence" is more important than the adjective, "gun." If one is against violence, surely one is against all violence, not just a subset. I would suggest...

One often hears this phrase, but it is clear that the Brady bunch (among others) has no idea what they are. If the things that get a state a high grade really worked then the states with high grades would have low levels of gun violence, and vice versa. In fact, I once regressed gun violence...

If the proposals for the famous "sensible regulations" worked then you would expect a strong negative correlation between high Brady grades and low violence. In fact if you regress statistics for gun violence on Brady grades you get a weak, non-significant positive correlation, that is high...

URI Forensic Sciences hosted a talk Mon night by a guy named Marc Tobias. Did not see it but the student paper reported that many are very easy to open. Said Stack On can be opened by lifting one side a few " and dropping. Any one have any info on this topic? Thanks in advance.

The request for advice on taking a .44 on an Alaskan cruise got me thinking-is there a listing of gun friendly businesses, etc? Or do we just continue coming here to ask the collective wisdom of THR?

Evidently the NYPD sells its once fired brass to Georgia Arms, they reload them and sell them. Wonder if their sales will have an uptick? Any Peach Staters familiar with them?

Took the .454 lever gun out for a little exercise and shot the rear sight loose. It is an aftermarket peep by Skinner Sights, the peep is on a threaded post, staked with a neat microscopic Allen screw, the sight fits in a dovetail on top of the barrel, similarly staked with a slightly larger...

There is a current thread on democraticunderground.com discussing microstamping. The majority of the sentiment is against it as unnecessary, ineffective and impossible to implement. Who'd a thunk?

In Commando ( an Arnold shoot 'em up) people are using hand held, belt fed weapons. Do such things exist, if so, do they work? Thanks in advance.

How many .357s should a shooter own? A Model 19, poetry in blued steel, A stainless one for woods carry and camping, A scoped 6" for 100 yd fun, A snubbie for SD, A Colt Trooper with its 12lb DA trigger for HD, A [fill in the blank], etc.

Does anyone here have advice on a good course for CCW here in Little Rhody? Thanks in advance.

My son gave me Glock as a present. I am about half way through and it is an amazing read. Old Gaston was a smart guy and snookered S&W a few times. The author also describes how Glock interacted with various political issues such as the AW Ban. I don't own one but I may have to get one for...

Took the .454 levergun and my brand new levergun in .45 Colt to the range the other day. Cleaning them this morning I noticed that the .45 was much dirtier than the .454. The ejected shells from the .45 all have black smears on them, the .454 are clean. Can some one more...

Does anyone know of a source that slices the data on firearm deaths by whether the shooter legally owned the firearm? Thanks in advance.

Took some of my little friends out for some exercise this morning. Finally got the new sights on Thumper, .454 levergun, adjusted to acceptable accuracy. Loaded up a cylinder of .454 in the super Redhawk, 360 grain by Buffalo Bore, set a new benchmark for recoil. But even DA and waiting for...
