Can someone with a bit more tolerance for The Dumb please explain this to me? In this blog posting Paul Helmke makes some link to the Parker/Heller 2a case with the Dred Scott decision. Here's the best part: I couldn't understand what the heck he was saying. Of course, the circuit...

This holster I just picked up has a minor issue; it seems it rides the safety, and I'm afraid it might push it down. Is this a common issue? Any of you folks have any ideas what I can do about it to fix it? I'm not sure how worried I should be, as the thumbstrap would keep the hammer from...

Looking for some parts I can fit myself, if possible. I'd love to know if anyone knows of specific beavertail grip safety, Skeleton Hammer and Extended tactical thumb safety that can fit on a Stainless Milspec Springfield Armory 1911. Any of you folks have any good examples?

I'm about to consider getting a Beretta cx4. I'd love to attach a silencer to it, but while discussing this plan, I was told that it'd be illegal to thread it, because it was "forigen", some kind of 922r rule perhaps? I'm confused, and it sounds like Male Bovine Excrement to me, but I...

I was discussing the "Gun takeaway" brady talking point with some friends, when one piped up, "I've never heard of a gun takeaway from a civillian. Cops, sure, due to them open carrying, but not a civillian." They then related a story about a woman who a BG tried to disarm, and she emptied 6...

I have a friend of mine that i'm slowly working on the gun-hate. She's got a major issue though; she's only got one arm. She lost everything below the shoulder as a kid. I'm wondering if any of you more experienced folk have any pointers for techniques that someone with only one arm can use...

I managed to inherit a Charter Arms 2000 Undercover .38. (Model 73820, this baby here: http://charterfirearms.com/products/Charter_Undercover.html) (ok, get the laughter out of your system :neener: ) I'd love to put some aftermarket grips on it, especially something like a crimson trace. Do...

I'm currently looking into a good bolt-action tack-driver in .308. I'm down to either the Remington 700 or the Savage 10FP. I'd like to hear some opinions on both from people that might know a bit more.

I bought a Bushmaster AR-15 with an A2 upper, and am severely regretting the A2. I see the following flat-top upper for sale at del-ton: http://www.del-ton.com/detail.aspx?ID=10 How hard is it to refit my old barrel to this new upper? Is it something a newbie (but a mechanically inclined...

No, don't shoot them. Write them letters like the one I'm outlining below. It doesn't even have to be true, but it will get their attention: Personalize it here. Talk about why your second amendment rights are important to you. Explain POLITELY. Our politicians have a history of...

I am saving about 800 for an AR-15 build, but I got to handle a Kel-tec SU-16C and actually didn't mind it. Any of you guys shoot one? How accurate and reliable are they? Would they stand up to a rugged situation, or would I really be better off waiting and getting an AR?

I got to shoot a CX4-storm on Saturday. It was a fun little carbine, and it looks really cool. I'd love to pick one up, but in order to do so, I have to convince myself it'd be at least passable for self defense uses. So how silly am I for even considering this? Am I better off using a...

Yes, i'm serious. Go ahead and ask, even if the question seems sarcastic and biting. For instance, go ahead and ask, "Why do you hate America?" and i'll answer seriously! I am very much a liberal, with lots of libertarian leanings. I was brought up in a strict anti-gun family, but saw the...

While browsing another forum, I came upon this. http://www.nleomf.com/media/pdf/ColoredGunsRelease06.pdf When looking at it, the first thing I thought of was Oleg's pictures from this thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=182615 I love it! Brady is scared of Madmike's...

This is the first online political quiz in which I agree with the results. This is the first one that didn't call me a far-left liberal (because I believe in some form of aid to people that need it) or a far-right conservative (Because I love my guns, and I am religious)...

My fianceé is waiting for her CHL. For the time being, she's looking for a chemical spray that she can carry, and i'm wondering which is best. I'm of the mindset that OC (pepper) spray is best, because it should be able to affect drugged out and drunk people, unlike CS or CN (tear gas)...

Check out this post. A major Canadian newspaper backs up a hypothesis that we already know: Gun control only disarms law-abiding citizens. http://armsandthelaw.com/archives/2006/02/canadian_column.php Canadian column on failure of their gun control Posted by David Hardy · 13 February...

Silly, possibly, but i'm going to ask anyway: What constitutes limp-wristing? I've always had a firm grip on my pistol; keeping it from moving back and fourth while shooting, but I usually let the pistol freely "flip" a tad after each shot. I find when I do this, I'm not "pre-correcting" for...

I've got an XD-9 sub with the generic XD Springfield sights. Let's say I want to put some Trijicon or other tritium-style night sights on. Can I do this myself, or do I need a real gunsmith to do it?
