I've been asked to create some authentic-looking dummy .22 WMR rounds for a museum display. I plan to CAREFULLY drill a hole in the side of the cartridges using a wooden jig in a vice behind some armor glass, then dump out the powder. The museum isn't comfortable with leaving the primers live...

The Connecticut judge who recently allowed the Sandy Hook families' lawsuit against Remington to continue has just ruled that the families suing Remington as a result of the Sandy Hook tragedy have failed to maneuver around the Federal law against bringing such suits. In a 54-page opinion, she...

At the end of the month, my wife and I are going to spend a week camping on our property near Toutle, WA. The good news: Blackberries will be ripe and plentiful. The bad news: Bear scat, both Black and Griz is also plentiful. I'll carry my old S&W Highway Patrolman 6" .357, but I'm thinking...

Saturday I bought a new Sig P365 for evaluation as an EDC piece to replace my Springfield XDs .45. I got a "hot off the production line" 3rd generation model that had, in fact, been manufactured on June 7. It's just slightly smaller than my XDs, but is considerably lighter and more comfortable...

I couldn't believe my eyes and ears! Thought I had taken too much dope for my leg injury. NBC Nightly News this evening ran a positive story about a Texas school where teachers had been allowed to carry guns since 2007, without all the obligatory naysaying from Moms Demand, etc. Could it...

OK, just about everyone can agree that a bump-fire stock is a poor substitute for a full auto AR or AK. How about we support a bill that will ban bump-fire stocks and also repeal the 1986 Hughes Amendment that prohibits possession of post-1986 machine guns. Full auto weapons would again become...

Spotted this at the Mesa, AZ gun show this weekend. Amazing what they can customize on an AR nowadays! :rofl: [/URL][/IMG]

In another thread I asked about an AR-15 pistol in .300 Blk for a “car gun.” One of the members replied that it might be useful to define a “car gun,” so I will throw out some characteristics of what I consider to be a “car gun.” To me, a “car gun” bridges the gap between a routinely carried...

With the recent ATF ruling removing restrictions on "arm braces," I'm contemplating an AR-15 pistol in .300 Blackout to replace my current AR-15 as a "car gun." My main use for it would be as a defensive weapon against a "Reginald Denny" type situation should I inadvertently drive into a...

I think the efforts to Federally mandate reciprocity are laudable, but misguided and probably destined to fail under a Democratic filibuster. Moreover, they raise concerns about Federal mandates to states. Perhaps a better approach would be to deny Federal law enforcement funds to any state or...

http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/cdc-study-use-firearms-self-defense-important-crime-deterrent This appears to be from a legitimate news site, but all I can say is that the CDC apparently wasn't able to find anti-gun researchers for Obama's much-heralded study. Stuff we've known for a long...

http://bearingarms.com/bob-o/2016/10/14/breaking-frivolous-lawsuit-sandy-hook-deaths-dismissed/ Of course, the plaintiffs have promised to appeal, but this is still a major blow to the ability of aggrieved victims to sue firearms manufacturers and distributors for criminal misuse of properly...

https://www.thetrace.org/2016/09/good-guy-handgun-ownership-harvard-survey/ Interestingly honest article from the normally anti-gun "The Trace." Note that while the anti's are quick to infer causality when higher homicide rates occur in high gun-ownership areas, they don't ascribe any of the...

I've decided to replace my Ruger LCP with a Diamondback DB9 for EDC. I've been testing it for reliability and effectiveness before relying on it as a defensive weapon. The picture shows the gun with three types of defensive rounds I've tested; Hornady Critical Defense 115-grs., Winchester PDX1...

http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/22/us/washington-movie-theater-shooting/index.html Not anyone's definition of a responsible gun owner. Apparently this idiot went to see "13 Hours" while drunk, then, naturally, started playing with his gun in the theater. Unsurprisingly, it went off, striking the...

I recently acquired a new (to me) Charles Daly Italian-made 12-ga O/U skeet gun. On my first trip to the skeet club, I noticed that the forend appeared to loosen as I shot the first round. The latch would pop out slightly at every shot, and I would have to pull the forend back tight to push it...

Philosophy professor Joseph Heath of the University of Toronto recently published a treatise "On the problem of normative sociology" in the Canadian Public Health Blog. I found it to be highly informative regarding the motivations of both sides of the debate which inevitably results from a...

On this evening's ABC National News, they did a story on the danger of murder and assaults that real estate agents are facing from false clients. They featured one lady who had been a victim of an attempted robbery, and rather matter-of-factly displayed the Beretta Tomcat that she now carries...

Last night I reloaded some twice-fired LC-13 cases with CCI-41 and CCI-400 primers to test different loads. I found, to my surprise, that the CCI-41s slipped easily into the primer pocket, with almost no resistance. Now, an enlarged primer pocket is usually a sign of very high pressure, but all...
