    Flying to SeaTac, Driving to AZ

    I'm going to be flying to SeaTac from Alaska and then picking up my crewcab pickup at the Port of Tacoma and driving to Tucson, AZ by way of 90-82-84 to Twin Falls and then US 93 into AZ. My concern is having my Ruger LCP in my luggage at SeaTac and then in my truck while in WA and OR. I have...

    Transiting Through Illinois

    I'm going to be driving from Arizona to upper Indiana. My only concern on this journey is driving through Illinois, probably on I-70. Every other state accepts my CCW permit, except Illinois. What is the best way to transport my Glock 23 and its three 13 round magazines? I have a crew cab...

    I qualify, but there is no Blue Label dealer listed for Alaska. What are my options, other than paying full retail?

    Going to Texas, Options With No CCW

    I'm going to be driving to Texas for Thanksgiving and I need info on possessing in my vehicle. I just moved to AZ, so I don't have an AZ CCW for reciprocity purposes. My old CCW is no longer valid as I am no longer a resident of the state it was issued in. I know I can't CCW while in Texas...

    Green Valley/Tucson CCW Training

    I'm looking for a good solid course in the Green Valley/Tucson area. I'm new to Arizona, so I want to at least learn about Arizona law. I had a CCW permit from my home state and I'm retired military and retired Corrections, so it appears I don't need to complete the shooting phase. Any...

    Moving to AZ, New Way to CCW

    I will be moving from Alaska to Arizona shortly and need some ideas on how people carry concealed in warm/hot climates. What works for me in Alaska obviously won't work in Arizona. I see the need to change everything, from a new pistol (I currently carry a Glock 23), to new clothing. I'm...

    Airline travel with pistols

    I'm going on a trip soon and I'm wondering what the rules are regarding ammo. Can I leave my ammo in the magazines and just put them in another container? Does ammo have to be locked? I'm flying on Alaska Airlines and their web site is pretty vague on the ammo issue.

    Cleaning tank

    I've looked at a lot of web sites and can't find a simple bench top tank or container to hold about a gallon of solvent. Ideally it would have a basket to preclude having to dunk my hand into the solvent to retrieve dropped parts and also an airtight sealed top to prevent evaporation. I have a...

    DV Assault and Lautenberg

    What are the ramifications for someone convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence assault? A state trooper and I had a discussion and even we couldn't agree. He seems to think that a conviction only bans certain types of weapons, such as handguns. I thought the law was more broad than that...

    New Bushmaster jamming up on me

    I just fired my new Bushmaster for the first time this weekend and had four jams. Basically, the spent cartridge didn't eject before the next round fed. Best guesses on the problem? Wish I'd taken pictures of the two cartridges jammed up. I just took the mag out and either pulled the jammed...

    National "Do not patronize" registry

    Is there anything such thing? I just went to the local Cellular One office to see about upgrading to GSM service and I was shocked to see them posted for no guns. I have never seen a business posted for no guns in my borough, which is larger than the state of West Virginia. Needless to say, I...

    What I Want From Jim Zumbo

    I know Jim Zumbo has been pilloried without mercy for over a week now, but in spite of two apologies, I still haven't seen what I've been waiting for. Maybe Mr Zumbo comes to this board or someone who knows him can pass this on. But this is what I want. I want Jim Zumbo to acknowledge that...

    Best tank solvent for cleaning pistols

    I have a small 3.5 gallon parts washer that I use for cleaning my pistols. I'm looking for recommendations on the best and safest solvent to use. I keep it in my garage, so flammable solvents are something I'd like to avaoid. Some of the pistols that will be cleaned include Glock 23, SA...

    XD 45 Range Report

    I just bought my XD 45 on Thursday and took it out for spin today. Since this is my first 45 I had to stop by Wally World for some ammo. I picked up 100 rounds of American Eagle and went to the end of the road to an unofficial firing area. Loaded her up and started blasting away. An absolute...

    Bad barrel in my Kahr?

    I just bought a new Kahr PM40 recently and found something interesting yesterday as I was cleaning it for the first time. There appears to be a channel that starts halfway down the barrel and stops at the end of the barrel. It follows the polygonal rifling twist and becomes less pronounced as...

    New Kahr is very disappointing

    I got a new Kahr PM40 to replace my unreliable NAA Guardian 380 because I had heard Kahr was a really good pistol. Well, I now have two unreliable pistols. I fired 250 rounds of FMJ to break the pistol in, using both the five and six round mags. During that time I must had about 15 instances...
