    British/Australian hunting rifles of the 1930s

    I'm in the process of planning a novel - not sure what will ever come of it - and needing to find some information out about the sort of hunting rifle someone in the 1930s British Far East would be likely to use. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

    Positive article on campus carry in... Marie Claire!

    Marie Claire is not the sort of magazine I'd normally read (we have it as my wife won a free subscription to it) but flipping though this month's issue we came across an article which covered guns and campus CCW in a positive light!:) Its just a short piece, but no PSH in sight - not even the...

    TSA approved padlock and flying with gun

    I have a TSA certified ("Travel Sentry") luggage lock that basically is a combination lock with a slot for a skeleton key which supposedly only the TSA has. It is designed so that you can lock your luggage but allow the TSA to getin if they need to. Leaving aside questions about the efficacy...

    Farmer v Higgins - or what we are up against

    With the Heller cert decision imminent, I've noticed a few threads talking about 922(o) getting struck down and various other hopeful scenarios. I've also seen frustration from some about why we haven't had this issue decided in court and even some claiming that this is all a conspiracy by the...

    Researching old lawsuit over 922(o) [late 80s/early90s]

    After the FOPA went into action there was a lawsuit (I think in the 4th Circuit, but could be wrong) that the NRA backed thinking they could get 922(o) struck down. The circuit court said 'no dice' and the Supremes denied cert. Does anyone here know the name of that lawsuit?

    NRA vs. New Orleans

    Does anyone know when the arguments are scheduled in the NRA's suit against New Orleans over the Katrina confiscations? A column of Sandy Froman's recently referred to it as happening in 'the next few months' but didn't mention the dates.

    Best alternatives to eBay

    So, eBay is anti-gun. I know there have been threads about protesting that and so on but I had a practical question: Does anyone know of any good alternatives to eBay where you can get a similar experience but without giving money to antis? Thanks!

    Getting into guns in Johnson Co. KS

    Hi, My wife and I will soon be buying a couple of guns, primarily at this stage for home defense (I'm a green card holder so no CCW for me until I become a citizen). We've both shot a little bit before, so we know the basics, but were wondering about where to put in practice time. Is...

    Gun owners might catch a break at the UN of all places

    Disclaimer: My loathing for the UN and all its works knows no bounds. I'd gladly see the whole sorry thing defunded, disbanded and deported. But given that's not going to happen, we may as well take some victories where we can... Via the excellent http://www.gunlawnews.org/...

    Senate Bill 1 - Something nasty in the fine print

    I've not seen anyone else comment on this, so maybe its not been noticed. Senate Bill 1 is a big ethics and lobbying reform bill which doubtless contains some good things, but one section of it looks like it would cause mayhem for any group that has paid staff and which asks the public to...

    GOP 2008 - Rep. Duncan Hunter?

    GOP 2008 - Rep. Duncan Hunter? First of all, I appreciate that I might be seen as intruding by posting this topic, since I am not yet a US Citizen, and some would ask what right I have to start a thread talking about a potential POTUS candidate. I have thought about it for a bit and think it is...

    Arkansas Hunter Education Classes

    I realise that it is now the time of year for going out into the woods rather than sitting in the classroom, but I only recently moved here and am interested in getting into hunting. Obviously one of the first steps is to take a hunter education class. No classes are currently showing on...

    Newbie question re: Ammo

    As a newbie there's all sorts of things I have questions about and am steadily filling in my knowledge from various websites... One thing I've noticed here is lots of discussions about ammo. Now, I understand the various calibers but once it gets beyond the basics and into weights and...

    Dumb (?) Hunter education question

    Just a quick question, which is probably so obvious to be dumb, but does completing a Hunter Ed course in one state, count if you move to a different state and want to get a hunting license there?

    Hunting regulations - source of information

    Quick question. Is there a website anywhere that summarises information about different states' hunting laws, season dates, license rules etc? Or is it a case of checking each state individually?

    MO/KS: Legal(!) immigrant question

    First of all, I'd like to say hello, been lurking here for several months now and I think I get the etiquette of the forum now. Now, my question. I'll be moving to the USA sometime later this year, once I've navigated the immigration maze. (My wife is American, but we currently live in...
