Oftentimes I discuss the notion of a legally armed citizenry and the idea of the RKBA with those who support gun control. I do this largely because I am a "liberal" on most issues and I am interested in helping other "liberals" understand my position. When I put forward the idea that the...

The other thread going on mountain lion's ain't got nothin' on this one! How's this for scary...a sleeping couple is awakened by a mountain lion in their bedroom. The cat grabs one of the couple's two labs (75 lbs.) and takes off. :eek: Some points... 1) Dogs that don't bark when a large...

I'm wondering, from those with experience...have any of you ever fired 3 round bursts from an M16 style rifle for accuracy on paper? If so at what distance, with what version/setup, and what kind of groups did you get? **** Edit to Add: If you don't have experience...I'll gladly accept any...

This has been all over the 24hr news-o-tainment channels today... Smash and Grab The link includes news story and video.

Besides the Garand, have any other autoloaders used an EnBloc? Further, what, I wonder, is the viability of a modern EnBloc design (perhaps one that is bottom load/eject) as a means of producing say an 8 or 10 shot, CA compliant type, "assault weapon"?

Gun fearing Mom relents and son becomes an Olympian... From the Boston Globe... ...and of course the lesson is... EDUCATION! :)

I have to make note of this...as some of us have been arguing definitions and poor word use in another thread. I counted at least three times where either the Mayor of D.C., the interim Attorney General of D.C. and the Police Chief of D.C. explained that "semi-automatic and automatic" handguns...

I just got one...and I am curious of a few things: 1) What is the hottest commercial load you have run through yours and how did the gun handle it? 2) Have you experimented with any handloads? What result? 3) Any worthwhile drop-in aftermarket parts that you've had success with?

All right...so this is gun related and I had to share with the THR community. Last Saturday I graduated from law school. It wasn't a short or easy road, in fact, it took 5 years and 2 law schools to get it done (long story). I was also selected by my classmates to give the farewell address...

So I get up this morning and the talking heads on most of the 24 hour news channels are going on about how Pennsylvania gun owners (who plan to vote in the Democratic primary) support Hillary over Obama. I understand that neither candidate is "good" for gun ownership. But are voters really so...

I did a quick search to see if this is a dupe...I don't think it is. Thankfully no deaths from this attack. Australian teens attack school with machetes and baseball bats

Forgive me if this is a dupe... So...I caught There Will Be Blood last night (which is wonderful film-making BTW) and saw a trailer for the latest movie by Edward Zwick (Glory, Blood Diamond, Last Samurai). I will admit that his movies tend a touch towards the schmaltzy...but I am, by and...

I was thinking...I know that we have many, many Illinois members on THR...and I also know that we have many who are graduate students at the various universities in the state. (myself included) So my question is, are we all accounted for?

I am a law student at NIU and this whole thing started to pick up speed on Sunday afternoon. Not sure if any of it made the national news, but it was all over the local/regional news. Base facts are as follows: 1) Early Sunday morning a series of messages were found on a residence hall...

So, according to the Smoking Gun website and other sources, the VT shooter bought roughly three dozen yellow rubber ducks on Ebay (in addition to magazines for his Walther .22). The media seems baffled by the purchase. I was thinking it is reasonable to surmise that the shooter bought the...

School will be out soon, and though I will be doing legal work over the summer, I plan to have evening free time to dedicate to reading. Offer some suggestions for me...I'm looking for nuts and bolts instruction on all aspects of shooting a scoped rifle.

I did a search but didn't find the story posted already...I apologize if it is a double. Link to Article (includes some pictures of a very nice set of trunk guns) Troopers clock 'Blues Traveler' singer's SUV going more than 100 mph Story Updated: Mar 7, 2007 at 5:58 PM PST By...

The link will take you to a political/philosophical essay, so I figured L&P was the best place for it. Mods, please feel free to move it if needed. :D The author is addressing an issue that I once previously attempted to broach on THR. This essay is a critique of the pro-gun crowd who...

I just bought and watched the new "Miami Vice" last night (Director's Cut). I really enjoy Michael Mann's movies, the guy has a real style (especially in the cops/robbers genre) that comes through...and as many others have noted...he has a deep interest in realism. On the realism note...did...
