The anti-gun Violence Policy Center is out with another "Study" highlighting the next threat to public safety... and the next target for gun banners: Big Boomers," handguns designed to take rifle-caliber cartridges that can penetrate Kevlar vests. From the summary: "Big boomers are...

It won't go to "actually dead" until the end of the 110th Congress at the end of this year. Have no fear, it'll start all over again NEXT year with the 111th Congress. And, statistically with a Democrat president in the White House. And BOTH of the leading Democrat candidates have said they...

Many FFLs are as ignorant of firearms law as are most law enforcement officers. They know what they THINK the law says, not what it is. For example, a C&R license satisfies Florida's requirement for a background check to purchase a firearm... no separate FDLE check required. It has nothing to...

Keep in mind the Silberman decision specifically recognized the ability of jurisdictions to impose various gun controls. It just said a de facto outright ban was unconstitutional. If SCOTUS doesn't take the case, and the Silberman decision stands, look for D.C. to write an ALMOST outright ban...

Then again, if he hadn't done dope, misdemeanor or felony, all this would never have happened. If he hadn't made the first mistake, it wouldn't have been there to be compounded by bureaucrats.

Gresham is a CCRKBA board member, but he was committed to a different event that weekend.. Normally he would have been there (CCRKBA and SAF hold their annual board meetings at the GRPC).

Two more calls, Friday afternoon PDT.

There is NO video available of the GRPC (we did a VHS tape several years ago -- it didn't sell), but there IS an audio CD. Charles Heller of Arizona does/did the taping. I don't have his particulars handy, but if you call SAF at (425) 454-7012, they can tell you how to get in touch with...

Seattle bombed -- only two antis showed up, one of them a paid employee of the local Brady affiliate. Time to move on to another cause, ladies.

Ruger displayed the Mini in 6.8 at SHOT (January) or NRA (April) or maybe both. I have one on order, but haven't seen it yet. Although the 6.8 was allegedly developed by Special Forces to solve lethality issues with the 5.56, don't hold your breath on ANY new cartridge development coming out...

The answer to the correct rifle is a K10-22 (stainless 10-22) unless semi-autos are verboten. The problem is federal law. As a resident of Panama, even though a U.S. citizen, she can't legally purchase a firearm -- ANY firearm -- in the U.S. The Second Amendment Foundation currently has...

Ruger's Mini-series rifle in 6.8 Remington SPC was introduced at both the SHOT show and NRA conventions earlier this year. Has anyone actually seen one in their local gun shop?

CCL is about as protective as a restraining order, without the CCW. If you feel you have a secure place in the car unlikely to be found by a thief, you might want to carry a xerox copy of your DL and CCL. It might not meet the requirement of the law, but it's better than no ID. I've...

GO to the FBI NICS information site at http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/nics/index.htm and click on the links to the Voluntary Appeals File. You should submit the state paperwork to the NICS. If they accept it, they will give you a PIN-number to add to the 4473. Makes NICS checks much easier.

Fred Thompson is being courted heavily by conservatives. He has/had a good track record in the Senate, has long experience in D.C., and plays a conservative District Attorney on Law & Order (not important for his role, but for his name recognition and his acting ability -- his ability to...

Given that state laws vary so widely, questions like this should be prefaced with which state is being addressed. Many states' CCW licenses are restricted to handguns only, while others are true concealed "weapons" licenses. Posing an open-ended question as this thread does opens the door to...

Not quite, SIOP. IIRC, about 25% of Marines questions said they would disarm insurrectionists. 61% responded either "no," or "hell, no." And if you go to the back of the study and read the margin comments turned in with the surveys, you draw a very different conclusion. Given that these...

You didn't say what state In WA, it is a violation to carry a loaded long gun "in or on" a motor vehicle. Return to your pick-up from a morning in the field, lay your shotgun on top of the cab to unlock the vehicle... and you've just violated the law. CPL holders can possess a loaded...

When seconds count, the police will be there in minutes.

Perhaps it's not "more extreme" but "more committed."
