    How Not To Clean A Gun

    I've experienced similar results with my camo dipped Beretta duck gun. Was spraying it down the barrel and some managed to leak through the gas ports and run down the underside on the outside of the barrel. The camo coating wrinkled up and flaked off in a few spots. Luckily I realized what...

    Have a Beer at the Range

    Never drink and shoot - set it on the tailgate before pulling the trigger or the recoil will shake it flat it no time

    "Craven Irresponsible Politicians and the NRA"

    No, but I do believe so much of this kind of event is being fostered by the way our society treats its youth. These young men have been brought up their whole life being told they are a special snowflake and they are entitled to success. When the real world hits them full force, these largely...

    What's the dumbest mistake you've ever made while carrying concealed?

    Many of these seem to be displaying a common trend and a lesson learned by most at some point or another summed up in two words: Cheap. Holster. I learned just like everyone else has - just buy a good holster from the start. Fortunately I didn't have to learn this in a very public way.

    justification of cost

    Just curious what sort of bulk you have to buy primers in to get this cost? Even cheap primers are around 3 cents now. Figure around 1 cent for powder, brass is essentially free (fractions of a cent) if its reloaded several times. And I assume the lead is all scrap and free? I suppose I...

    22 magnum Gold Dot

    I'm guessing you would get a similar effect to a vmax, probably a lot of hide damage, splattering on the entry wound, good probability of wounding if you hit bone.

    22 magnum Gold Dot

    Yep - if its been designed to expand at short barrel velocities, its going to perform like a frangible at rifle velocities

    Minnesota bills to allow recognition of North Dakota permits

    Would be nice if they would recognize Iowa's as well... They're the only bordering state (not counting IL, they're always an asterisk anyway) that doesn't.

    Iowa HF384 to legalize suppressors

    Unfortunately, probably not very good unless he really gets the pressure put on him. That's why it's important to keep up with the calls and letters. At the very least, make it an inconvenience to him every day that he ignores it.

    Iowa HF384 to legalize suppressors

    You can track bills here: https://www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation It is still HF2381. Currently, Sen Hogg is refusing to assign the bill to a subcommittee. It is listed as SJ422 after being sent and read in the senate but you can't look it up by that number.

    Iowa HF384 to legalize suppressors

    I don't think there was ever any real plan to get all NFA pushed through. The main buzz has been about suppressors the whole time. At least its a step in the right direction - makes zero sense at all for IA to have gun laws on par with liberal east coast states. I think it has a better than...

    Do you still have your first gun?

    I do - though I can't for the life of me remember which one it is! It's either a 10/22 walnut(ish) carbine or a Mossberg 500 bantam 20 gauge. I got them both around the same time when I was 8 or so but cannot remember which came first. I still shoot both of them too. That little mossberg...

    The Super Bowl is for advertising family friendly products only. Like booze and erection pills.

    Concealed Carry permits....the unintended consequences.

    I won't quote Willie's entire last post but mostly, the part about DNR being spread too thinly is the main problem at least around here. They are severely underfunded to cover the areas they need to. I hunt pretty much every season of every species available around here (a lot of it on public...

    "It happens"

    I pull the trigger on my striker fired pistols before I stick them in the safe to "decock" them. I know it's not really necessary but its a part of the routine. Granted, I only do this after clearing the chamber, racking the slide a couple times, and visually checking the chamber...twice - its...

    Concealed Carry permits....the unintended consequences.

    That may be true in your area but that's a problem with a bunch of idiots taking the term deer "drive" literally, not with the carry laws. If you don't mind me asking, what area of IA are you in? If people are running deer with trucks it needs to be reported. Its poaching, no different than...
