Ok, so whoever came up with this idea, ought to be shot! This :cuss: nut will not come off, and now I've screwed up my finish on my buffer tube. :banghead: sorry, just needed to vent I guess.

I just saw this on the myfoxdetroit website. Apparently there is a group of Democrats introducing a bill to repeal the "stand your ground" law, here in Michigan. Here's a link to the article on myfoxdetroit...

I've been wanting an AR for quite a while now. I finally got the money end worked out (read, my wife doesn't have anything else she wants to spend this years tax refund on lol), so I bought it today. Now I have to see about getting a good deal on some food for this baby. Anyways, just...

So the wife and I are going to hop on the bike tomorrow, and head down to the Sandusky area for the Ohio bike week festival. We've got our Michigan CPLs and would like to carry for the trip. Is there anything special about Ohio's laws that I need to know? I hear that you guys got rid of...

Hello all, My friend is selling a car to a gentlemen from out west. He will be meeting this gentleman in Chicago, Illinois to exchange car for cash. He has asked me to ride along with him for the trip (safety in numbers and all that), and I would like to carry my handgun with me. The trip...

The emphasis was in his original letter. Somewhat of a form letter, but at least he gets it. He's a good rep, and I will definitely continue voting for him. :)

I'm currently in a wait and see mode, as the text for this bill has not yet been released. If it is written well though, this could be a huge step for Michigan gun owners. http://www.mcrgo.org/mcrgo/view/news.asp?articleid=2133&zoneid=6 Chris

Hello, I'm looking for suggestions for a good holster for a smith and wesson M&P in 9MM. Its for my wife, and I'm not really sure what to get her. She is at home most of the day, but I want something that will be comfortable for her to carry when out on short trips to the store and...

All of you Michiganders here, that have already obtained a Michigan CPL, how long did it take fo them to review your application, and approve it? I ask, because the wife and I applied for ours on August 7th, and have not heard anything back as of yet. I'm starting to get a little antsy lol...

I've got a couple questions for all of you knowledgeable folks. I have finally saved up enough money to purchase my next gun :D , and I'm seriously considering the Springfield PX9151L 1911 A1 (which details can be found here). Anyways, the manufacturer's website states that it has...

Well, the wife and I went down to the county clerk, and applied for our Michigan CPL (Concealed Pistol License for you non-michiganders) yesterday :) Now we just have to have our fingerprints taken (would you believe that the local PD only does fingerprinting by appointment? I didn't lol)...

A while back, I was reading a post where someone linked to another site that lists all of the parts needed to construct a magazine for a ruger Mark II, along with their ruger part numbers. The individual parts can be purchased much cheaper than buying the assembled magazine, and I'd like to...

I took a couple of guys from work to the range tonight. They both were kind of anti gun until tonight :) One of them is Canadian, and pretty much was ignorant about guns altogether. The other one is the type to ask questions like "Why do you need that" etc. As a matter of fact, it was a...

Hello all, My friend, at work, has an old revolver that he wants to get some more information on. I'm not much help to him unfortunately, as I'm a relatively new shooter myself, but I figured the guru's here could probably help us out :) All he knows about it is that it was made by a...

Hello all, I'm having a problem with my new Ruger Mark II. Every once in a while, it fails to feed a round, and the round will get caught by the bolt as it closes, causing the gun to jam up. I at first thought that this might be due to the cheap remington thunderbolt ammo I was using. I...

My mom has been a nurse for over 35 years, with a good part of that spent in the E.R. She isn't necessarily an anti-gun person, but she's always been afraid of them. So afraid of them, that I was not allowed to have one while I lived under her roof. This probably comes from her seeing the...

Ok, so on my last range trip ( which was also my first with my new and only gun ) I had about 7 rounds fail to feed properly, and the cases were dented when this happened. Needless to say, I didn't feel safe just reloading them into the magazine and firing them off. I also didn't feel safe...

Well, I Just started the purchase of my first handgun. It took me a while to get the money together, because I had to get a safe to keep it in first (I've got curious little minds in the house :) ), and times have been tight lately. Anyways, its a Ruger Mark II .22 with a 4 3/4" barrel, in...

I have seen these terms thrown around on various web sites. Are these all the same cartridge? If not, what are the differences between them? Just a newbie wondering about terminology :) Thanks for any info you can give me, Chris

Hello, I've been reading these forums for a few weeks now, and I like it here, so I registered and this is my first post :) I do not yet own any firearm, but my wife and I have decided that it would be prudent to have some sort of home protection. I also am considering obtaining a CPL at...
