    gun safety material for homeschoolers

    All of the Eddie Eagle stuff I've seen was "don't touch" stuff. Frankly, I'd expect that to be as counterproductive as abstinence instruction in high school. Hands-on instruction with Airsoft guns will get the message across most effectively, and once they're absolutely reliable on the safety...

    May be wrong place but gotta ask What U would Do.

    If I legitimately knew the buyer to be a felon, I'd be more likely to anonymously report that I knew said felon was in possession of a firearm (and a description of said firearm) without mentioning where he got it. If the buyer rolls over on the seller, that's between them.

    When is deadly force justified during a home invasion?

    As long as you're not the one performing the home invasion, you're good to go. This is one of the better things Texas has passed recently; any attempt at entry by force and without effective consent invokes a presumption that your fear that the other will use or attempt to use unlawful deadly...

    Loaded gun on the nightstand + person who sleepwalks = some kind of lock device?

    How easily are you awakened while sleepwalking? If you wake pretty easily at a moderate discomfort, it could be as easy as moving the gun out of reach from the bed and buying some really-uncomfortable-to-bare-feet traction mats to put around the bed.

    Pirates and Idiots

    Uh, dude, it's Somalia. If we're going to take on the pirates, why not just take the whole darn country?

    Who Here Could Make A Gun?

    Where are you getting those numbers? SAAMI max for the 40S&W is 35k, and 21k for the .45ACP. .38Spl is 17k, but the fact remains that the question was "Who here can build a gun?" not "Who here can build a commercially viable firearm to current standards?" Single-shot zip guns and SMGs have...

    What happens if you shoot a bed sheet?

    I guess we're just going to have to have a get together and stand around shooting the sheet until this is settled.

    CCW Denied

    Pawn them for $5 and make sure you keep the renewals up to date. Pawnbrokers take much better care of your stuff than police departments.

    Levers For the Cops

    Why are you leaning out over your cover? Back up and use it right, and you won't have to move the gun to operate the lever. If you train right with a lever action, the next round will be chambered instinctively by the time you recover from recoil.

    What happens if you shoot a bed sheet?

    Having shot a towel hanging from a clothesline with one of those Speer plastic practice bullets driven only by a primer, and punched a hole right through it from 7 yards, I'm not trying this one with any of the sheets.

    LEO's and CCW's

    So far, every LE contact I've had in Texas, they don't even bother to ask where it is. Most of them compare the DL number on the CHL to the one on the DL, and hand the CHL back without any further comment. At least two didn't even glance at the CHL, just took the DL and called it in. IMO...

    "Pam" as a gun oil- cleaner???

    Who do we go to for illegal opinions?

    Anyone ever killed a snake with shotshell out of a .38 snub?

    It does a good job on mice and wasps, and as long as you don't pepper the linoleum, it's relatively easy to clean up after. Wear safety glasses, though, because the pellets will bounce off anything harder than linoleum or drywall.

    Help! My Marlin Model 60 Is Not Firing!

    Marlin 60s do not fail. You're imagining it. I'd strip it down and hit all the metal parts with Brakleen and a brass brush, then relube and reassemble.

    How to make a backstop for unloading?

    For reference, two feet of ~60 degree cream cheese will not stop .22WMR FMJ or .30-06 SP, but the '06 will spread cheese over about a quarter acre. One foot of much colder cream cheese will stop .45ACP JHPs, but it's not reliable. Sand is much more effective.

    Fireball, Dragon's Breath...

    Hmmm...one guy eaten by a bear vs a potentially disastrous wildfire started by some guy trying to scare off a bear...nope, sounds to me like you just need to either leave the bears alone or make peace with your deity.

    When the hammer falls, how many pounds of force does it take to fire a bullet?

    Also don't forget that the area of the striking surface will have an effect on it; a narrow pin concentrates the impact on a small area, while the same impact spread over the entire surface of the primer may not do the job at all. For an example, see the Lee Loader; you can use a mallet to seat...

    Deer found dead from Gut Shot... What do I do?

    What's the weather? IMO, if it's gut shot and long dead, I'd probably just take the skin and maybe the backstraps if they still look good. If it traveled any distance, the adrenalin probably did a number on the meat anyway.

    What Happens If They Pass A Law And No One Obeys?

    Where will they get their training? The kind of skills that would be needed are hard to learn in four years, especially when you don't have the right skill sets to start from, and whining for your welfare check ain't one of those skills.
