    Handgun for wife - opinions?

    Ha, read the title and was like "Yep, as long as it's any caliber 9mm or up, that ought to do... for wife". But if you really want to be sure, use a shotgun on her. Just sayin'.

    My other half says I have enough guns...

    If mine told me I had "enough guns" I'd wink at her and say "That sounds like a DARE!" LOL, I really don't have that problem with my wife, as long as the bills are paid and I take good care of my other responsibilities. Do this... say to your wife - "tell you what... I promise not to buy more...

    Bulman Gun Leather still in business?

    I'm curious too. Sent them an e-mail about some holster work I need done two months ago, never got a reply. Sent another e-mail this morning and got a reply from the email-bot saying : So I thought maybe they had an e-mail issue, no biggie. So then I called the phone number and instead of...

    Firing in a vacuum

    Not a valid comparison. You are comparing the ambient pressure of the environment, when what you ought to compare is the pressure of accelerating the additional mass and the friction involved. So however much water is in the barrel, the weight of that water gets added to the bullet weight...

    Do I owe my wife an apology?

    Ok I see a lot of nonsense going on here, and to take "whipped" out of the equation I'm going to tell a hypothetical story involving almost identical circumstances but using myself and my brother as examples. My brother and I are traveling together. To save expenses we have a single room...

    Poll Question: More or Less Personal Ammo Supply Since Obama Election?

    About the same. Had quite a bit on hand and more than a few reloading supplies. Lately I am shooting less and just trying to round out my reloading supplies here and there in case the shortage goes on longer than we anticipate.

    WTD - Bad Dogs

    Even big strong dogs hate getting zapped by a stun gun. No, not always the best thing for fending off an attack, but it stings and it hurts them in a way they've never been hurt before, and they will think twice about coming back for more. They remember it, too. And it's legal to carry nearly...

    Accidental Discharge Experience

    We have a simple system at our house. If a gun is needed for immediate use (home defense let's say) then it is kept loaded and out of the safe. If you need it for immediate use, then it has to be ready to go bang at an instant's notice, right? Semi-auto handguns with one in the pipe, and...

    A shopkeeper told me I couldn't wear my cross into his store. Then called the cops.

    Some things we are accustomed to thinking of as "public" are now becomming privately owned. Some toll bridges and toll roads, for instance, are run by private enterprise, not by the public through the agency of our government. So what when the operator of a toll road declares no guns allowed...

    Response from Budsgunshop.com

    My wife and I have purchased from Bud's on numerous occasions. I have always found them helpful, fair and very compettitive. Usually they are very quick in processing and shipping orders as well. Only one time have we experienced any problem. My wife ordered a Ruger Mark III target pistol...

    CA certified list

    CountGlocula wrote: Sir, I must point out that you are incorrect. There are 3 ways to purchase non-rostered handguns in CA: 1. Buy it from someone who is already a CA resident who owns it (this MAY be someone who owned it prior to moving to CA, which is fully legal). 2. Be an LEO...

    Your Dog is ALWAYS Mean! (My fall into paranoia)

    We lived in an urban neighborhood where most folks were neighbors, and a few were "hoods". When we were asked if our dogs bite, rather than answer "No, he's friendly" we answered, "Not if I let him know everything's all right... " We didn't want the neighborhood kids telling older brothers...

    Home Defense (Philosophy)

    There's a lot here I agree with... Would I run into my (no family there) home if I knew there was an intruder in there? NO Would I run into my home (family there) if I knew there was an intruder there? DARN RIGHT Would I carefully check out my home if I came home and suspected someone...

    CZ-52 upgrade. complete at last! (photos)

    I've always thought the cz-52's looked just "wrong" to begin with. I like what you've done to the front end, it gives it a more balanced look. The paint job... well, you're a do-it-yourselfer and it definitely has that quality about it. No doubt, if you did a few more you would improve your...

    Guns stolen, car re-po

    Sorry the guy is having financial problems... and I know, you can't work and/or look for work 24/7, but it would seem to me that if cash is in such short supply that the car payment can't be met, that a range trip would seem to be an unnecessary expense and time away from other pursuits that...

    URGENT: Calls & letters to support Nordyke RKBA Incorporation!

    IIRC, a decision would be a binding precedent in the 9th, and a non-binding precedent elsewhere. Non-binding means a future court must consider the decision, but may ultimately choose to over-ride it. Binding means that a court must use the decision as the basis for any future rullings on the...

    Charter Arms Revolvers. Good Quality?

    I have had one for several years now. It's an ok gun. By that I mean, it didn't cost a lot of money, and it shoots and works reliably. Is the finish as good as a Smith or a Ruger? No... but I didn't pay what Smith and Ruger are charging, either. I wanted a practical gun, not a...

    Ammo Can Disaster

    Pull the projectiles and sell them to a reloader. Turn in the brass (berdan) to a recycler for some $. Sprinkle the powder on the front lawn.

    Ruger GP-100 as first gun

    The GP was my first handgun. It will likely last you a lifetime of faithful service. I advise you to never sell it. Sure, you may buy other guns, but never sell this to finance a new purchase. Determine to go to your grave with this one. You won't be sorry.
