    Wanting something for squirrel control besides a 22 and need opinions.

    If you can find them on the internet, look for Aguila Calibri or Calibri Super. The regular Calibri is such a light load that it might nor clear the barrel in some rifles, so maybe you should get the Super. These are extremely low pressure, low noise .22 rounds. Even the Super is way less than a...

    Cartridge Comparison

    Keep in mind that energy is proportional to the square of velocity. The OP mentioned cartridges with a velocity difference of 150 fps, but if you consider the square of velocity, that is a significant difference.

    A discussion of jury selection from The Armed Attorneys

    I have been called for jury duty twice. The first time, several decades ago, I was chosen to serve even though I was a county employee whose office was next door to the court room (and I said that during voir dire). I think the jury reached a just decision in that case. It was a complex case...

    Long ago, Webley Mark 1

    Does anyone know if all all Webley Mark 1 revolvers are legal antiques? On line, I see that the Mark 1 stared in the early 1890s, and the Mark 2 started in 1897. But that does not mean that production of Mark 1 ended in the antique area. Can you help? Thank you.

    El Paso mall shooter stopped by LTC guy

    Jerry said, "The state run media...." Really? What do you mean? Please name the state run media. The story here came from a story on CNN. Do you think that is state run?

    Gun in locked car

    This seems like a simple question, but I am guessing that the correct answer varies from place to place, and maybe even from courtroom to courtroom. If I leave a gun out of sight in my locked car, and someone breaks in to the car and steals the gun, could I be in trouble for not having the gun...

    The S&W internal lock

    I have 3 Smiths with the lock. I never use the locks. However, I do carry the tiny $&W key on my keychain, in case a lock should somehow become locked inadvertently.

    Washington state magazine capacity and concealed carry question

    Some posters suggested asking the Washington State Attorney General for a ruling. However, the AG's website says the following about requests from citizens: "The Attorney General’s Office provides formal written opinions about constitutional or legal questions when requested by statewide...

    Using .30 Carbine bullets for .327, anyone try this before?

    "Have you tried referencing some of the .32H&R NRA Hunter Class and IHMSA Field Pistol data for the T/C Contender? Use of .30 Carbine bullets was pretty common. Sierra and Lyman’s both published T/C .308” tables for that cartridge." Years ago Thompson/Center, in cooperation with IHMSA, produced...

    A reloading question dealing with black powder safety

    Here is the OP again. I tried two cartridges with my inertia bullet puller, just to see what would happen. They must have had a very minimal crimp, because each bullet came out with only two smacks on my concrete garage floor. Most of the powder came out with the bullet. Remaining powder came...

    UPS does not ship firearm anymore unless FFL

    By the way, the text provided by Daniel Craig is out of date. Recent definitions, which you can access below, do not exempt antique handguns. That means only FFLs and a few other people in special categories can legally mail an antique or replica handgun. There has been lots of confusion about...

    A reloading question dealing with black powder safety

    I know that black powder is less stable than smokeless powder, but can black powder withstand sharp shocks without igniting? Here is where this question comes from: I have acquired some recently made ammo loaded with black powder. (It is revolver cowboy ammo.) I don’t want to shoot it because...

    Shipping concerns

    Under the sticky Common and Important Legal Issues, there is a subthread about shipping, but that is closed, so I cannot add anything to that discussion. Anyway, on another forum, I have seen recent discussion about UPS changing their shipping rules to exclude any nonlicensed person who wants to...

    Can ammo retailer in Canada ship ammo to me in USA?

    I am asking about a straight-forward shipment to my home, without going through a bunch of legal requirements and paying extra fees. I suspect the answer is no, but I want to be sure. Thanks.

    S&W 617 22lr 6 shot

    Driftwood Johnson said, "No matter how far the cylinder rotates, the hammer spring still has to be compressed enough to fire a cartridge. I will have to experiment, but it seems to me that will make the double action trigger pull feel stiffer, not lighter, for each shot." Well, Driftwood, have...

    S&W 617 22lr 6 shot

    I don't see why people don't like the 10 shot 617. With 10 holes in the cylinder, each shot requires less cylinder rotation. That means it cocks more easily, and it shoots a lot more easily in double action.

    Refuse to transfer

    I know one local FFL who will not do an internet transfer on any make and model of gun that you could have bought over the counter from them.

    Did I get a bad batch of Unique powder?

    I have used Unique for most of my handgun reloading in several calibers for many years. I don’t reload a whole lot, so one canister of Unique lasts me several years. A few months ago, I finished an old canister, and shot up the reloads from that. Recently I loaded some .357 cartridges using a...

    Any legal problems from pointing a laser sight if I am confronted?

    For the sake of discussion, let's assume that I am legally justified in drawing the gun. Would I have any additional legal concerns about pointing the laser sight?

    How do bad guys react if you aim a laser sight at them?

    My laser lights up a lot more than a little dot except when in direct sunlight. In the dark you can pretty well see what is happening across the room. Bright daylight is different, but many bad situations happen at night or indoors.
