    Affordable EDC Knife

    I'm no knife expert, but I've become a Kershaw fan. The speedsafe system is by far the best one-handed opening scheme I've tried. I'm not even sure what model I have, but all the ones at this link...

    research opportunity: Which of Obama's donors/buddies own the company that's going to get this 2 million dollar grant to "research" these RFID guns?

    When did the thinking on flashlights change?

    I think it also has to do with the incredible power available in handheld flashlights starting in what..the 90's? Back "in the day" they used flashlights that had as much power as the $0.50 ones at the checkout at the grocery store. It was something you could aim it easily. Nowdays you...

    More people buying ammo instead of another gun?

    It's funny...about 10 years ago I resolved to keep a stock of at least 1000 rounds for my primary calibers, such as .223, .45, 9mm, .22LR etc., primarily as a SHTF "prep", along with food water, etc. As it turns out, the S has not HTF, but the stash of ammo makes it very nice to not have to...

The forum over there is the hub of IL gun rights activity online, and you get the latest, most up-to-date news on what the legislature is doing, and what action you can take, especially when making phone calls...

    380 test: can it penetrate a cell phone?

    It won't stop a 9mm either... A computer monitor will, though. It will stop quite a few in fact. I wish I knew enough about how these things are made to understand why.

    Chicago has to play along. We got statewide preemption too. Todd Vandermyde FTW

    Question for Illinois shooters

    They got scary close last year, but we melted the phone lines & got it stopped. Remember that they all "serve" two year terms, so its the same people. They no longer have the momentum of the Sandy Hook Tragedy, and they will be concentrating on neutering the CCW bill. I expect that will be...

    I Might Have Gotten The Gun I Always Wanted

    That is beautiful. I've contracted acute wantalevergunitis lately, so I may be biased. In my experience, it's NEVER THE gun I've always wanted. More of A gun I've always wanted.

    So you hear a noise, now what?

    Late to the discussion, but.... I live in an old "four square" farmhouse. Four bedrooms up, four rooms down, with a central staircase. I have a good, monitored alarm system. I thought all was well. Cue 2AM alarm #1: I had left my main defensive gun downstairs after cleaning it and all I had...

    Okay, back full swing into Milsurps.... what to buy

    The K31 is a really cool, really high quality rifle. It is fun just to work the action, and was definitely ahead of its time, especially considering the original concept started in the 19th century. I bought a MAS 36 because I am working on getting all the standard issue rifles of WWII. It...

    CZ 75 satin stainless vs Beretta 92 FS INOX

    I think the Beretta is slightly prettier. I think the CZ is a slightly better gun. Is this a shooting gun or a collecting gun? I think the Glock is better than both of them, and cheaper, but not NEARLY as cool as either. My opinion is worth exactly what you paid for it. How many people...

    New Jersey in trouble: Chris Christie Announces Expanded Gun Control Measures

    Wall Street Journal's take on whether the background checks will be "universal" or not: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323346304578423020482582426.html

    Toomey-Manchin Text Released Embrace the Suck

    Wow. Did you read my long post #106 above? It's all laid out very plainly. They don't specifically call it a UBC....they just require a BC on any advertised sale. Since it's hard to sell something without advertising it's availability, I would call that a UBC. I really don't want to argue...

    Toomey-Manchin Text Released Embrace the Suck

    No, Joe Manchin did. "This Section" refers to the above paragraph saying any advertised sale must go through an FFL. The part we are discussing, about the AG waiving the requirement, IS the exemption. There are four exemptions: A)Importers & licensees B)AG says state already requires BC's on...
