In response to a letter to the editor calling for stricter gun laws, I have written the following. I plan to submit it tomorrow morning. Please give me any suggestions.

I just got my C&R license last week, and want to make sure I am doing everything legal. I am looking to purchase a 59/66 SKS from a non-licensee. I will send him a copy of my C&R FFL. I know he can ship the rifle straight to me, can he ship it through the postal service? Any postal regs or...

I have a C&R license, and am looking to get a Yugo SKS in the near future. I was looking at the "Firearms Curios or Relics List" published by the ATF (http://www.atf.gov/firearms/curios/2001index.htm), and I couldn't find any Yugo SKS's listed (although I did see Russian and Romanian SKS's...

I am not trying to start a 223 vs. 7.62x39 debate, but I have been looking at 223 ammo and the AR-15 and have a question. Most people say that the 223 round is effective due to fragmentation, and that proper fragmentation depends on ammo. Is the cheap surplus ammo (wolf or equivalent) any...

After almost 3 months of waiting, my Utah CCW came in today's mail. There was a delay of about two weeks on it because my original picture got damaged. The sent me back the original picture (it looks like it got wet or part of the envelope stuck to it), and I had to mail a new one in...

I am in a sort of speech class in law school, and have to give a speech to the class this week. The speech must be on a public policy issue, so I decided to do mine on gun control. Here it is: Any suggestions for improvment? I feel that my last sentence is weak, and I would like to...

I would like to get a C&R license, but will be moving to a different state later this year. I have a few questions about this: 1. I realize when you change your physical addresses, you must notify the BATF and they issue you a new license with the new address. Is there a charge/fee for the...

Here is the hypo: You live in the Pacific Northwest and your power was knocked out last week. You set up a generator to provide electricity for your furnace fan to spread heat throughout your home. During the night you wake up and notice that several miscreants are attempting to cut the...

I'm fairly new to standard battle rifles, and have read many of the caliber war threads with interest. One point that usually gets brought up is that the 223 is better because a solidier can carry more of it. Does anyone know how much more 223 a soldier can carry? Do 50 rounds of 7.62x39...

I've read a bunch of threads on here that recommend using model acrylic paint to paint the front sight on a gun. I purchased some testors acrylic paint to do the front sight on my security six, but I want to make sure I can get it off before I put it on. The package says "paint is...

I have a Ruger Security-Six that is the dreaded 150 series (it has a different backstrap than the later ones). I have some of the Harrett grips that were designed for the 150 series and they work great. I've also shot it with Pachmeyer grips desigened for the 151 series (it came that way)...

From http://online.wsj.com/article/SB116378759136626468.html?mod=hps_us_pageone (subscription may be required) Front page of the Wall Street Journal today! I've never been hunting, but was pleased to see hunters portrayed in a positive light. What a great way to help the needy, and have...

An attorney is invaluable if one is accused of a crime. Using a gun in self-defense can result in criminal charges, especially in certain liberal areas. In some of his writings, Massad Ayoob mentions that he has a local criminal defense attorney on retainer in case criminal charges are brought...

I need a price check on a Smith & Wesson 340 chambered for 38 special, barrels says 38 special +p. This is one of the air-lite series, and is pre-lock. The finish is silver (natural aluminum?). Cylinder and barrel shroud are titanium. The gun appears to be in good shape mechanically, but...

I'm a summer intern at a medium sized law firm. As any lawyer will tell you, being a summer intern at a law firm is a pretty posh job. The law firm puts together activities for us so we can mingle with the attorneys in the firm. Next week one of our activities is skeet shooting, and as an...

Just read a post about police giving a civilian a rough time for having “Law Enforcement Only” ammo (I think the poster had seen the show “Highway Patrol”). I have heard of several companies that mark certain ammo and/or magazines “Law Enforcement Only.” As far as I know, there are no laws...

I'm in Wilmington, Delaware, and looking to take a NRA training class or a training class taught by a certified NRA instructor to fulfill the training requirement for the Florida non-resident CCW. The only place I've found that offers this type of class is targetmasters, just across the...

I'm looking to pick up a S&W 642 or maybe a 442 sometime soon, and was wondering what shops in Northern Virginia would have the best deal. As it is a pretty common gun I'm not too concerned about selection, just price. Any good (or bad) experiences with shops in this area? Thanks.

Just saw this: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060612/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/fbi_violent_crime I really don't like how this criminologist blames the NRA and guns in general for the rise in violent crime. I do think it is funny that Illinois is one of the states that is listed as being "three...
