Recently the Mayor of Chicago claimed that Chicago's violence was the fault of Wisconsin and Indiana. El Tejon, Director-at-Large of the Indiana State Rifle and Pistol Association, responds in Crain's Chicago Business...

The Indiana House voted 77-20 and the Senate voted 50-0 to repeal Indiana's ban on the use of suppressors for hunting and the state's moronic law against "switchblades." The bill, HB1563, is now on Gov. Pence's desk awaiting his signature. If no signature, then the bill becomes law on May 2...

Where do we send the checks for the counterattack in Colorado?

Please be advised that HB1563 which amends IDNR's regulation against using suppressors while hunting, may be scheduled for a floor vote on February 12, 2013. Please note that IDNR (Indiana Department of Natural Resources) supports this modification of the hunting regulations. Please...

I have a friend that is considering the new single action Sig-Sauer P226. Should he have any concerns about cracking slides or any malfunctions (the stories about the 228 have his worried)? Anyone have one? Any problems to report? TIA.

In case anyone is wondering XS sights just called me to advise that the "lever rail" that they make for the Marlin 1895 will not work on the Marlin 1894. However, they are working on a prototype and hope to release it at some point in the future. Lever...

I'm be flying in for my semiannual visit to Boston on July 11, 2008. Staying at the Double Tree across from the New England Medical Center and have no plans to be jumped in Boston Commons this summer.:D PM me if anyone wants to do dinner.

Scored a fantastic deal last night on a Polytech M14, magazines and a bunch (2.5K) of the old white box China Sports .308. Anyone besides Smith Enterprises I should look at for the rebuild? Or, am I a fool to even consider looking elsewhere? Any recommendations? TIA.

Anyone making non-lead skeet loads? 20 gauge in particular.

Got a rifle back from Robar yesterday. Robar did most of the stuff I wanted (arrrgh, the frustration of "custom" gunsmiths and getting guns set up; why are the makers never shooters?), but they were unable to acquire any target turrets from Stoney Point as Robar reported that Stoney Point is...

So, what what did everyone think? What guns did you "discover"? What amazed/flabbergasted you? What guns did you finally get to handle? What will you buy next based on your survey? What's going to be the next big thing? I finally got to get my paws on the Masada and have to admit that...

From the Journal & Courier, Lafayette, Indiana: news from the nationwide campus gun ban protest. Got to love the moronic comments from the former State Policeman. How to tell the difference? Well, gee, how do your highly trained officers tell the difference in the grocery store, movie...

Students at Purdue University win competition for inventing new soybean related product--a new "clay" target. Any THR members among the winning group? Well, if Indiana is going to be mocked as the "Bean State" we might as well put those soybeans to work on something useful.:D Pull...

I gave my nephew a Bushmaster Carbon 15 .22lr last summer for his birthday. Bushmaster Carbon 15 .22lr=> http://www.impactguns.com/store/BMAZC1522LR.html He loves it and shoots almost everytime they go out shooting. The silly thing, much to my disbelief, is running like a sewing machine...

It's time to start shopping for two of my nephews' birthday guns this Spring. Josiah turns 7 in April and Noah turns 10 in early June. Josiah, to be 7, already has (since there has been confusion over this, the guns are kept in one of my brother's safes) a Marlin 915YN, a CZ 452 Scout, and a...

Got some bad news this morning: apparently the State of Florida does not recognize my city's police department.:D Early this morning I went to the P.O. Box to check the mail and discovered a large package from the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services. Hmmm, my Florida...

We've been over this many times at THR on the dangers of carrying pistols in your pockets, especially when little kids are killed by this stupidity. However, it has happened again. Stop doing this. It is dangerous to you and others around you and it is slow to action. Do not listen to the...

Yet again, trouble in Indianapolis with the Indiana Pacers.:uhoh: ********************************************************* Indianapolis Star, December 10, 2007: http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071210/SPORTS04/712100338 Pacer's night out ends in shooting...

From time to time here at THR we get dog shooting threads. This case serves as a reminder to us all that if you do not have to shoot (you are not in danger), do not shoot. Problem #2 is real. It is not something that was created in a lab to spoil your fun of shooting your gun at anything...

Current issue of SGN has an expansive article on a Model 1 Sales .22 AR-15. Anyone have one? Does it run (the DPMS AP4 was a great concept but had feeding problems apparently)? Thinking of it for future birthdays of nephews. TIA.
