    CCW for High School teachers

    After months of work, the largest comprehensive high school district in California changed the policy today. Detailed requirements have yet to be released, but it is a step forward. http://bakersfieldnow.com/news/local/khsd-ccw-vote My wife and I are both teachers in this district, and both...

    Sold some "rare" guns...

    I rarely sell a gun, but I had a couple of Glocks that I didn't care for. I live in California, and had legally purchased a G17L and a G41 back when they were available. The 17L is no longer on the CA Roster, and the SSE that covered the G41 has ended. I didn't like shooting either of them...

    Is ammo supply shrinking again?

    As the supply has been getting better, I've been buying to avoid getting caught short again. Since the majority of my shooting is 9x19, .22lr, and .45acp, that's what I've kept tabs on...and I've seen less availability and increasing prices for the last month or so. I expected that as November...

    CNN Opinion piece by Peggy Drexler

    Very dangerous thinking.... "Though all the guns in the Harper-Mercer household were purchased legally, there's certainly reason to question whether a system in which guns were rationally regulated would determine that a single mother and her 26-year-old son needed so many weapons. "...

    For the safe pros...

    I have a RSC made by Cannon, rebranded as an Oxbow. It has an electronic lock that has not given me any problems - yet - but I'm considering changing it out to a mechanical or a dual electronic/mechanical. What's your take on this: http://www.mbausa.com/item.asp?num=SR-XTREME# ? If this is a...

    Me and handguns - why so many?

    I have carried since 1980 or so, and usually a snub in .357Mag or a 1911 in .45acp. I went nearly a decade not carrying regularly, then moved to a jurisdiction where I could get a new permit. During that period, 9mm ammo underwent significant improvement. I bought my first 9mm about four...

    So what is it about your LGS(s) that bugs you enough to look elsewhere? Multiple choices allowed.

    Joining the fray

    I moved recently to a 5 acre lot in a mountain subdivision. If I could find subsonic .22 rimfire, I'd put my CZ 455 to work on the squirrels, but no joy on that. Many of my neighbors use pellet guns, so I did a little reading and ended up ordering a RWS 34P with scope, along with 5 assorted...

    A move is afoot....

    It looks like I may be moving to a more remote location, and building a new home and workshop. We are considering manufactured housing as a possibility, and I'm thinking that there's no reasonable way to install a 60cf, 1700lb Summit Denali in one of those - correct? That leaves putting it...

Genuine Austrian Glock mags, in a bubblewrap envelope. I see them selling used for $40+ on fleabay, and Midway is...

    WalMart rant

    Has anyone else noticed how much WalMart gets bashed about their market dominance - and yet thay have not taken advantage of the current market by raising prices on guns and ammo to reflect current market prices? In fact, there are several threads about pawn shops, LGSs, and individuals buying...

    Glock vs CA DOJ

    Glocks G4 guns are not CA listed, and now the USA-made G3s aren't, either. Causing a bit of panic out here - we have to find Austrian G3s.... From the CA DOJ roster: Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale Handgun models will be removed from the roster on the list expiration date unless...

    Surprises at the dermatologist.

    Had a spot on my nose that didn't look quite right. Called my GP, and she looked at it and reccommended seeing a dermatologist. Went to see him today, and overheard the office staff saying something about gun rights (I'd locked up my CCW in the car, knowing I'd probably have my shirt off). I...

    Honey, it's for the (grand)kids!!!

    Went down to the LGS that still has guns to sell, shopping for a .22lr pistol to teach my grandkids with. I was thinking M&P or SR22. Sitting in amongst the .22s was a Browning 1911 .22, like a diamond among pearls...a substantial price kump from the others, but I was drawn to it like a moth to...
