Don't forget to read its Preamble, which says, "Hey you guys, we really mean this stuff." I sometimes kid around by calling the Second Amendment the Twoth Amendment because it's what puts the Teeth in the document. =D

I still mentally count my shots. I started that a long time ago, Don't know where the idea came from, but it was back in the day of six-and-seven round handguns and (usually) six or eight round mags and clips. ...BANG! ("Four.")....BANG! ("Five.")...BANG! ("Six.")... I'm wondering if folks...

Reality check. I was reading about the ballistics of the new .260 Nosler cartridge in the December issue of the American Rifleman (p. 46ff). It's been a long time since I dealt with pressure measurements on a day-by-day basis, but this one jumped out at me in regard to the remarkably good...

Don't know if this is appropriate here, but I got a solicitation for a donation to his campaign. The name rang a bell, so I was going to ask about him here. But I did a little research to refresh my rusty memory. He's the guy who defeated former Colorado Senate President John Morse in the...

Thought you guys might find this interesting since we always think Hawaii has such onerous firearms laws. They do, but there's still a vigorous firearms community there. Layout of range, tools and techniques, kind of rapid-fire delivery, but with no "Ummms" and "Ahhhhhs"...

I've been toying with the idea of making a small proof-of-concept wheelock out of cigarette lighter parts, so I came across this in my scientifical research: From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheellock I shall undoubtedly go down in firearms history as the first putter-togetherer of...

Purchased from Big 5 Sporting Goods, their item number 4154100, $9.99 each. Got three, one fer me, one each fer my two sons fer stocking stuffers. Both of whom barbecue. Would you believe they each have unique serial numbers on the chain-attached tags? Butane refillable from the magazine...

Here's the link: http://2ahawaii.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=dtuhn490u8tk1djsbhv4dokbh0&topic=1825.msg13913;boardseen#new Not much else to say, it's all in the link, but I've been watching the Hawaiian situation for a while. Respectfully submitted, Terry, 230RN

Well, it's making the rounds again. The very excellent blog by Marko Kloos, the Munchkin Wrangler, on "Why A Gun Is Civilization" has been hitting the e-mail circuit and is AGAIN being attributed to a "Maj. L Caudill USMC (Ret)." This is an incorrect attribution. SInce I'm sensitive to...

While this question is "political" in one sense, I think it deserves kicking around from an RKBA perspective. What effect might the Suter resignation have on future RKBA cases? I'd just like to see the range of opinions --thanks. Terry, 230RN

Channel 31 in Denver reported on a home invasion shooting this evening. We do not know the whole picture yet, that is, whether the shooting was legally justified under Colorado's so-called "make my day" laws. See the copyrighted report from Channel 31's news page here...

Quite some time ago, .cheese. started a thread questioning whether or not failing to place that little warning sticker that comes with laser sights on your gun was a Federal offense. It should be noted that the manuals for these sights (at least for my Crimson Trace sights) give stern warnings...

UPDATED: A Novice's AR-15 sighting problem I recenty got an AR-15 on the principle that I know nothing about them and figured it's about time I learned. After all, it's been around for like 60 years and I've been around for almost seventy, and it was about time we met. DPMS Flattop Panther...

Now what idjit would pay $920,000 for a Walker with a stand with a split hunka wood under the loading lever? http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2008/10/historic-pistol.html On second thought, maybe it was discounted $80K for that split hunka wood. (Threw this in general for increased...

I found this remark on an informal review of ammuniton: In reference to "outside edge to outside edge... the real way," I always figured that groups were measured from center to center of the widest shots. However, I had been out of shooting for a while and a lot has changed. I realize...

Page 115 Sep 2008 American Rifleman Yes. Yes it does. It affects you directly. Just like all the little encroachments that don't affect you because "I don't own that kind of gun," or, "What the heck, I never intend to get an out of State CCW," or, "Yeah, it's a good idea to make that a...

Anyone know what that's for? Production jigging? Stacking/locking? Discovered it in a lousy pic of a rifle I no longer have, so can't examine rifle directly. I'm sure it's something dumb and obvious, but help me out here.

Somebody please post video of this --seen on Fox 31 News in Denver at about 8AM (Thursday 24 Jul). I don't have the capability to do this with my hand-cranked computer at home. I'm quivering with anticipation over the inevitable japes and jokes.

I think we may finally be having a positive impact! Saw a TV channel 9 (Denver) ad by Sportsman's Warehouse this AM whilst coffeeing and wakening. Pinch me, I'm dreaming. Showed the gun counter pf what looked like the one on 84th Avenue off I-25, with a guy handling a scoped hunting...

And sometimes it doesn't. This is from the history channel. Dates vary due to the International Date Line: I note this report does not mention the famed incident of the student blocking the tanks. As far as I'm concerned, that photo ranks right up there with the Iwo Jima photo. Nobody...
