    Wisconsin AG Says "Open Carry -- NOT Disorderly

    Well surprisingly Illinois has had some significant legislative activity recently. And IIRC several sherriffs have spoken in favor of CCW as well, citing the overwhelming number of states that already have it. I still think that Chicago will use it's influence to kill it, but until right now...

    Wisconsin AG Says "Open Carry -- NOT Disorderly

    WI AG, Confirms Open Carry is "Legal". http://www.jsonline.com/news/wisconsin/43302252.html This is something that various groups, the WCCA, OpenCarry, and others have been pushing J.B, Van Hollen to do to help force the issue of both open carry and shall-issue concealed carry in WI. We...

    I'd just build on top of the site, and use the bunker as a shooting range.

    Advice on Hiding Guns Around the House

    My best advice for hiding guns? Get one of those $100 sheet-metal Stack-On/Homak gun cabinets. Fill it with inexpensive U-Fix-Em specials from Century, yard-sales, or gunshows, throw in some nasty old air-rifles. Make sure to put some cheaper/older ammo and accessories in with it to make it...

    Airplane Hijacking

    My personal computer? It's a Dell. It has a nice battery. I call it the "TSA approved Tomohawk"

    12GA Will never be the same again!

    I'm not up on my powders. Is HS6 a bit slower than your usual fast shotgun/pistol powders giving a lower pressure curve for that given velocity?

    Calguns? What's... Never mind. Five seconds of googling provided the answer. Sorry.

    Keltec announces RFB ship date (again)

    The entire purpose of the RFB was to get a 32" barrel .308 into the smallest overall length package, in this case a mere 40" in OAL. The "target" model with it's barrel of 32" can fire a very heavy .308 win 7.62 NATO bullet of +200 grains at over 2500fps, giving it a muzzle energy and...

    Use a proper backstop!

    From the angles shown, you don't really have enough information to make that call. Also, depth-of-field issues with zoom and the type of camera used can really distort the distances and proximity of things which are in frame together. The shooter was also most likely using birdshot which...

    the gypsey defence.

    Somewhat germaine to the conversation... I give you the "Dell TC030 LiOn laptop battery." Or, as I like to call it, "The TSA Tomohawk" :D

    Things are Not Good...

    When I had to do it, I made "bedrolls" out of my long-guns. I lay out a blanket or quilt, depending on the size/shape of the long-guns and the size of the blanket, I lay about 8-12 long-guns down about 12-18" apart, buttstocks and muzzles alternating directions. Then I fold the ends of...

    Nervous to sell to this guy..but feel obligated. What would you do ?

    Sorry, that does suck. I would really wish I'd have had the quick thinking to apoligize and say I'd already sold it. Do not ignore your "spiderman sense"/intuition on this. Even if it means you wind up insulting someone.

    Gun Store Incident - Some people are just WEIRD!

    Local store here had a young woman who did not know anything about handguns, and just "wanted one", and didn't seem interested as the salesman tried to draw her out about her needs, any preferences, or questions she had. She just kept asking to see different guns at random, and would use her...

    Mountain Lion Shot in Self-Defense

    Indeed. DNA hair and spoor had also identified it as the same cat that the WI DNR had been keeping reports on as it made it's way southeast through Wisconsin. What I want to know is how it made it's way across the Mississippi. Walked across a bridge, or perhaps swam one of the more...

    C&R Application - Visit from the ATF?

    Yes and no. It's not common for a C&R applicant to have anybody contact them personally at all in most of the U.S. the whole thing is handled through the mail. There's anecdotal evidence here at THR and elsewhere that New York state C&R applicants get an ATF visit. Then many of them had...

    Mystery Russian Rifle in Photo on the Front Page of August 20th Wall Street Journal

    Well in any AKM the front trunion that surrounds the chamber is milled, what I'd be more concerned about is catastrophic failure propelling the sheet-steel cover or piston bolt parts into my face. Most of the other issue bullpup designs have a rather unitary polymer shell (AUG, TAVOR, FN2000)...

    Mystery Russian Rifle in Photo on the Front Page of August 20th Wall Street Journal

    You're thinking in terms of blunt or round nosed 9mm pistol bullets. The VSS Vintorez shoots a very loooong and pointy Spitzer profile proprietary 9mm bullet with a steel or even AP core, and has a long boat-tail taper in the rear. It may be 9mm in diameter, but in terms of sectional...

    Mystery Russian Rifle in Photo on the Front Page of August 20th Wall Street Journal

    Okay, I'm not one to worry much about the "Face against the chamber" issues with most bullpup designs. But when all that's between my cheek and the chamber is just your standard AK/AKM sheetmetal dustcover... PROBLEM! :uhoh: Oh, and Hoplophile, unless it absolutely HAS to be 9mm, if...

    Shooting .38 Specials in the garage?

    I've tried the Speer plastic .38's indoors with a Smith Model 60. A box of them were in my grandfather's things when he passed. Ear protection is a must, they are still very loud. And a cardboard box stuffed with rags is a marginal stopper. I suggest looking for a quality gas-operated...
