    Firearm engraving.

    I'm trying to help a friend of mine out; can anyone advise me of some good 'coffee table' books that feature engraved firearms or websites that have picture collections of engraved firearms?

    Heller related..."reasonable restrictions"

    I was reading the thread from marinepilot about his situation in North Carolina where he's being asked to provide 'proof' of having a good moral character. Interesting to me because New Jersey has such a standard and I am so glad that I left. But I'm also thinking, what if the Heller decision...

    Straw Purchase: What would you do?

    I was at the local shop and range this Saturday to testfire my new Bushmaster XM15....LOADS of fun, BTW! I'm becoming a long-gun convert...but I digress... While settling my range tab, I noticed a gentleman perusing the guns. It's a gun shop, that's what you're supposed to do. He looked at a...

    Shoulder Holster fitting

    I recently obtained a Galco Jack-Ass rig shoulder holster for my Kimber Compact. Not a bad rig: quality leather, retention strap, tension screw, straight forward to adjust. A MAJOR difference from the Uncle Mikes rig I first bought...velcro is NOT your friend. Any hints and tips to get a...

    Petition to Boycott Rosie Odonnell and The View

    http://www.stoprosie.com MODS: If deemed inappropriate, please remove. I thought it would be good to share as she is no friend to the gun owners, rabidly supports gun-control, and quite frankly, some of her comments are unAmerican. I believe some of her past comments warrant participation...

    Gotta Share: Former Police Director loses weapon

    A few things about this raised my eye, especially just having moved from New Jersey: 1. How do you NOT keep track of your weapon? 2. How do you NOT know whether your weapon fell from its holster? 3. Whose butt did he kiss to get that permit to carry!?!?

    OK, serious beginner question...

    Like, from the start. By time I came of age and had my first experiences with guns, my grandfather was starting his own business and didn't go hunting as often. Our time was mostly in fields. My life such as it was, I moved all over the South before settling in to New Jersey (which I HATE...

    TX: Where to shoot

    Some great stories in the 'funnest thing you've done with a gun' thread. I feel like I'm missing out as since I've moved here, I've only used indoor ranges. To my fellow Texans...as I understand the laws here, discharging a firearm in public is only allowed in an unicorporated area where the...

    What causes bullet setback?

    I was cleaning my Beretta 96FS last night. While clearing it and removing the magazine, I noticed the chambered round looked funny. So I set it up on a table along with a round from the magazine and could see the bullet in the chambered round had gone into the casing some. Aware of the dangers...

    My takeaways from CHL class.

    So I have one foot in the grave...went for my CHL class on saturday at the Bullet Trap in Plano. Man, it was a looooooooong day, but very informative.

    TX: 'Shoots'

    I see a lot of videos from various 'shoots' and I'm so interested. I've never shot anything full-auto or 'big bore'. Can anyone recommend a particularly friendly one in the DF/W area or where I can find out information about them? One of those "I gotta do this before I die" things. :p

    Hey, are there any light systems out there using white (xeon-like) light? So far, all the ones I've seen use yellow light.
