My 9 year-old son has shown great interest in shooting clays. It's a nice "break" from the .22, and he likes the moving target, etc... He used a bolt action .410 the first time out because I figure a 16 or 20 would beat him up. Needless to say he didn't get beat up, but it's quite a...

The new Philly police commissioner, Charles Ramsey, was on local talk radio this morning (am 1210). It's not a surprise that he's anti 2A given that he comes from Chicago, but it was the first time I heard him voice his opinion so clearly: (transcript from memory, not exact) Caller: Mr...

While watching re-runs of Pennsylvania's public TV coverage of the senate committee votes on the gun bills, I picked up some background audio I hadn't heard the first time. It was right after the defeat of the second bill, the one that would have allowed pre-emption. They had just taken a...

On the surface, Nutter sounds like he just wants to give the new chief more power to select his leadership personnel. Nutter is anti-gun to the core. This new chief comes from cities where 2A rights are virtually non-existant. All this while Gov Rendell pushes the PA judiciary committee...

I'm sure we've all found ourselves wanting to attend an event or visit a venue that prohibits firearms. Often times, these events are situated in areas or cities where carrying a concealed weapon is a good idea. If the event itself doesn't have provisions for storing arms, you have to choose...

From the Miami Herald:

Sorry if this has been posted. These were letters from Glock, Sig, and S&W, sent before the bill was passed in CA. The link below is the the Gun Owners of California newsletter. Scroll down to Page 2 to see the letters. The primarily reason cited for opposing the legislation (in all 3...

I was one of the many who closed their ebay and paypal accounts several months ago. While I've found Gunsamerica and Gunbroker to be good alternates for gun-related items, a replacement site for classified/auctioned general merchandise proved harder to find. I recently used craigslist to...

Last night, 1210 am's 6-9 pm program was hosted by Lindsay (forget last name), with studio guest Larry Kane. I was a (brief) participant in the discussion. They were discussing the "arsenal" found in the boy's house yesterday, and used it as a platform to attack the PA legislature for...

Whenever a "favorite gun movie" thread comes along, Tombstone usually makes the list. Came across an alternate/uncut script for the screenplay here: http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Tombstone.html Has allot in common with the movie, but quite a bit more content. Especially in the later...

For other HK P2000 owners who may be considering the 8.5 to 5.5 lb trigger job conversion, just wanted to let you know it's cheap, simple, and very effective. Having been primarily a 1911 guy, the heavier 8-lb breaking point of the LEM V2 was a bit of a hang-up for me. I missed my 1911's...

The Brave One is due for release in a week or so. It stars Jodie Foster as a woman who loses her fiance in a violent attack while also being injured herself. She then seeks revenge against the perpetrators by hunting them down in the city, while the papers print her exploits and the police try...

I heard a public service announcement on the leading Philadelphia a.m. news/traffic station (1060) this morning. It's making me think there may be a change in the way guns and gun crimes are being thought of in the city. The city's DA (Lynn Abraham) started the message, and she basically...

I aplogize if this has been discussed before. I searched the forum but couldn't find this specific question. I'm new to the A4. I recently bought a RRA flat-top with removable front sight. Any suggestions for scopes/mounts for this thing? I anticipate using it primarily for ~ 100-yard...

If you wanted to sell or trade a minty USGI 1911 at a gunshow, how would you go about doing so without letting potential buyers put undue wear on the gun? I know they're going to want to take a close look at it, but I don't want window shoppers racking it unnecessarily. Ideas?

I didn't want to hijack gopguy's thread. I'd like to share possible evidence of this mentality as illustrated in a notice sent home by my kids' elementary school last week. I won't reproduce the entire memo, as it is too long, but here are the highlights: Recess was ended early due to a...

A feature common to many "Employer Forbids Weapons" threads is that many employers cite "Insurance Reasons" as the underlying justification for a zero weapons policy. Employers claim that their insurance underwriters require a zero weapons corporate policy in order for the company to qualify...

It's been brought up more than once on THR that labeling people "sheep" is counter-productive. I'm not so sure. There's a difference between fence-sitters (who only need to have their eyes opened) and anti-defense people (who are unwilling to defend themselves, and want to enforce their fear...
