A fairly straight-forward story about how the spike/bubble/panic/call-it-what-you-will in gun and ammo buying has created demand for skilled and semi-skilled jobs. Full story here:

Because the bad guys may decide they don't like it very much, even if they are running away.

From my local digital fishwrapper: http://www.ajc.com/news/gun-stores-report-surge-1484732.html One Atlanta area store reported a 3-fold increase in sales on Saturday. And anecdotally, I was browsing at Academy on Saturday and overheard the gun clerk giving advice to a lady, mid-forties...

http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/police-intruder-shot-by-1464583.html Key points: 1. The intruder (Keller) was apparently high on something "other than alcohol". 2. He had entered one other house. 3. He was combative when taken to the hospital - and could have been more even dangerous if he...

Watched the newest Mythbusters last night where they worked on the old adage of "never bring a knife to a gun fight" to see if that's always true. Turns out - sometimes a knife wins. But it depends. The scenario is Jamie, carrying a knife, runs at Adam who is armed with a paintball gun which...

And now the neighbors may be in hot soup. Would not the simpler option have been to call 911 instead of sneaking up on suspected burglars with a rifle? http://www.ajc.com/news/newton-county-may-charge-1424231.html (Shortened for copyright reasons...click the link for the full story). ETA...

This bill (named the Constitutional Carry Act) has a long way to go and while it sounds great I don't know all of the political aspects around it; there is always more than meets the eye, especially under the Georgia Gold Dome. No telling if it will get to the floor...

I'd like to rent and shoot a couple of CZs before deciding on a purchase but the nearest shops - including Bass Pro Shops, Academy Sports and Dicks - don't carry the CZ brands. If anyone knows of a gun shop and range in the metro Atlanta area that provides CZs I'd appreciate a PM or just...

This isn't really a question so much as an observation and minor bafflement on my part (now that's a shock). Went to the range yesterday with a friend and we shot four different weapons: Walther PPK .380 (built in the early 1960s, maybe late 1950s?) Colt Commander .45 (made in the late...

I visiited the in-laws this weekend and my father in law showed me an old S&W top break .32 revolver that he acquired from a (deceased) neighbor. I was curious if the gun has anything more than curio value since it seems to be in rough shape. The only SN I could find was on the butt grip and was...

Will be interesting to see how this turns out. I'm betting the owner loses the weapon but the officer who fired the round only gets a reprimand, if that. I hope I'm wrong. http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/passengers-gun-goes-off-1258011.html Sounds like the officer violated at least one of the...

A new book by photographer Lindsay McCrum, and an interesting statistic on female gun ownership in the US (more than 15 million). http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/44690575/ns/today-today_people/t/chicks-guns-million-us-women-pack-heat?GT1=43001#.ToPBmuzmDEZ

Well...fudgecicles...not a huge surprise, although it looked like an interesting test case. (Atlanta) Airport Gun Suit Dismissed http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/atlanta/stories/2008/09/27/atlanta_airport_guns.html?cxntlid=homepage_tab_newstab

Is beneath a pillow an optimal place to keep a handgun while sleeping? Not being critical, just curious about pros and cons of doing so and the chances of an ND or AD. http://www.accessnorthga.com/news/ap_newfullstory.asp?ID=93656

I'm a noob to the world of handguns so pardon the ignorance, but try as I might I can't seem to find how a manufacturer can call a gun a Model 1911, especially since there have been a number of models from Colt itself over the centuries (yes, centuries...19th, 20th and now 21st). IOW what...

Hard to believe it was that long ago but time flies...interesting to note the rise in population and the low (very low) crime stats. http://www.ajc.com/news/content/metro/cobb/stories/2007/02/18/0219kengun.html
