A personal security "expert" (Robert Siciliano -- he seems to get a lot of media appearances) says using a deadly weapon is a bad idea, and that he recommends pepper spray. He says it can take down 5-10 men at a time, at 2 minutes and 30 seconds into the video...

Is anyone familiar with any gunsmiths in the Twin Falls area that are experienced with AKs? Thanks.

I took some pictures the last time I was out plinking and thought I'd share them with THR. You might have to scroll to the right to read & see everything. First I put up some target stands to zero anything in and check how everything is shooting, then I bring a bunch of old coolers I have...

3 new laws: one bans gun shows, one requires handguns to be locked up at home, another requires gun stores to do an inventory every 6 months (only 1 shop in the city). This was approved by the city-county Board of Supervisors, and is an attempt to pass gun laws that won't get struck down as...

http://www.bakersfield.com/hourly_news/story/153020.html I wonder if the sword was one of those dull-edged replicas.

Frequent CalGuns.net poster Matthew Corwin ("Blackwater OPS"), a student at East L.A. College, was arrested a few days ago on "assault weapon" charges. It appears the cops first became interested in him after someone notified them of Corwin's MySpace page right after the VT massacre. The...

This calls for a make-your-own-caption contest. Who wants to start?

Have any of you ever participated in one of those group dynamic "survival situation" games, where a group divides into small teams, everyone is given a paper listing available materials for a plane crash in the wilderness, and then decide together what the most important items are? Its a kind...

Ruger is introducing a "target" model Mini-14 with a heavier barrel, tuneable harmonic dampener, and thumbhole stock (which makes it illegal in CA). I just think it is funny that a company whose founder sold us out in an effort to save his beloved Mini-14, has its target version (less...

While RKBA at its core doesn't have anything to do with hunting, the fact that certain firearms are "never used for hunting" is often used as a reason why they should be banned. The AK seems to be the rifle most often brought up in this context. I've never seen this mentioned anywhere else...

This was reported at CalGuns.net: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=40675. It appears that in two separate incidents, legal "off list" AR-15s have been seized, two from a Merced gunshop by the Cal DOJ, and another from a private citizen by the San Jose PD. In California, it...

Under federal law, is it legal to buy a firearm in a gunshop while visiting another state, if the gun is legal in both states? This question came up when someone I know from California tried to buy a 10/22 from a shop in Idaho, but the clerk said it was only legal to sell to Idaho residents...

I will summarize something that was posted on CalGuns.net: After a burglary, the owner of a registered CAR-15 "Assault Weapon" called the San Jose PD. The CAR-15 was not touched. When they asked if he had any firearms, and he showed them the rifle, the police became more interested in it than...

Does anyone know any good off-range plinking spots near Twin Falls, Idaho? My friend's parents are bailing out of California and moving there, so I was wondering if there are any good spots nearby to plink at if I ever visit.

Ignatius Chinn I noticed a thread on CalGuns.net where Bill Wiese said Ignatius Chinn, Agent at the Cal DOJ Firearms Division, was harassing vendors at the Big Reno Show last weekend, telling them it was a felony for someone in Nevada to sell >10 round mags to a California resident while in...

On Page 16 of the May 22 issue of U.S. News and World Report, in the Datebook section in a mention about the NRA's annual convention. The heading they give the section is "Shooting the Moon". The blurb says, in part, "Conversation topics will almost certainly include the gun confiscations that...
