So, I've now been into the kindergarten classroom for a conference with the teacher for the third time, most recently during this last week. My son, aged five, is the black sheep...a dastardly soul and the scourge of the flaming liberal academia ruling our public schools. His...

I've learned today that most gunfights and kills in saloons or other establishments in the 1800's western America were performed by handguns because it was consider impolite and uncooth to carry a shotgun into a saloon. The shotgun would have been the much better tool in many cases but...

The commonality of the street gunfight/duel at high noon at twenty paces is a myth. It may have happened but not nearly as much as movies, TV or paperback westerns would have you believe. It was rare because both gunfighters stood a likely chance of eventually being hit. It was too much of a...

Post some others. Here's a ZZ Top gem and three more very recognizable tunes. Gun Love - ZZ Top "She likes to shoot her gun, Shootin at the target of love. She likes to load her chamber, Hot and tight like a black leather glove. Shes a little freak, but shell take you in. You...

Please state some firearm laws that you agree with and believe to be just, though the typical NRA member might not. I believe there is a ban on proprietership of a gun shop within the city limits of Minneapolis or so I was told by a pawn shop owner in Minneapolis. That was his response...

TexasRifleman recently made a comment on THR which inspired me to do a bunch of research. I have learned that it is legal to open carry in the State Of Minnesota if the carrier has a "State of Minnesota Permit to Carry a Pistol" and all laws are obeyed and legally banned areas are respected...

Very pleased to have traded/purchased a round butted S&W M66 snub today. The item was used excellent in box with some real stag grips and the factory wood, what appears to be a nickel finish though it may be highly polished. Included also was a Don Hume shoulder holster. Cost me an...

A buddy of mine asked a question that I couldn't answer and hope someone here can. He wants to do a camo paint job on an AR and is concerned with a hot barrel damaging his artwork. Engine block or exhaust paint would certainly work but to my knoweledge those paints aren't available in...

Can someone explain why dozens of authors and gun writers seem to think that the 1911 is a fine handgun "for experts only". Insert magazine, rack slide, responsibly operate thumb safety, know single action trigger weights. Does that take an expert? Without a suitable answer, I think...

I've purchased a Birchwood Casey 3/8 inch thick steel spinning target that is marketed for handgun use - up to .44 magnum. Warnings include not to use centerfire rifles, any rimfire firearms or pellet guns on this target. They recommend shooting no closer than 25 yards. I understand...

...$15,000 in attorney fees in a criminal defense and an additional $15,000 in a civil defense on your behalf in a completely justifiable defensive shooting. Let's assume that there was no other way to save your life and you would have suredly been killed without the defense. Would...

The details - Wedding party after party at the hotel. Most of the participants have been drinking (oh the shame...drinking at a wedding!) About four thirty something females and four thirty something males. 19 year old daughter of the eldest member also in attendance. No drinking for...

I have been offered to purchase by private sale a M686-3 Classic Hunter manufactured in 1988. I've discovered the 6" barrel is blown, with a bulge visable in the bore and can actually see that the barrel is slightly bent. I've done some research and discovered I can get a factory...

S&W Model 10 2" snub. When loaded with both A Zoom snap caps and real cartridges, the snaps and cartridges both rattle around a little in the chamber. Not sideways but front to back. Rattles both in safe mode and full lock up. Is this typical of the model 10?

Very disappointing to here about fingerprints necessary, long waiting periods, all out bans on specific items. You guys know the drill...I don't need to explain the repressive laws to you. Have you ever considered moving to a gun friendly state. Somewhere where you might be able to secure...

I've just purchased a previously owned Ruger KGP-161 with a Bushnell Trophy red dot sight affixed to it. No box or paperwork for the firearm or the red dot. No factory rear sight. This is a fun gun, I won't be defending life and limb nor will I be competing with it or anything else. FUN GUN...

I've seen an interestring .22lr bolt military trainer rifle in a shop. The tag says: Getaer Fabricen Utterup Danmark. Danmark is used in Europe as Denmark so I think it comes from that country. The rifle has an adjustable rear peep sight with a "ring" type front sight. It appears to...

I'm not even going to call this unit a Tanker but rather what it is, a chopped Garand, potential op rod problems and all. Came across one, and was intrigued, considering purchasing it but wanted to run it by the fellas here. Forgive the less than anal technical phraseology The facts...

Please find attached a poll regarding the use of firearms in combination with alchoholic beverages and your opportunity to share your level of tolerance regarding said combination.

In response to many of the posts on my most recent thread, I would like to have a poll to see how much money, on a monthly basis, the posters on The High Road are spending on their firearms hobby. Please take time to view the poll and vote if you wish. If you choose to vote, please be...
