    Rendering aid to someone you just shot (moved from Legal)

    It's unlikely there's anything in a standard first aid kit that's going to substantially change the odds of saving somebody going into hypovolemic shock from a gun shot wound. Unless of course you actually have some kind of quick clotting bandages or powder. Mostly the standard first aid for...

    'Gun Free' Zone Tennessee Business Liable for Disarming Concealed Carry Holders

    I think is this is a huge mistake. I'm a supporter of private property rights and I believe that a business owner should be allowed to ban firearms on their property with the only repercussion being loss of income from customers going elsewhere. I really hope this is challenged in court at...

    Smart Guns and problems with carry outside the home

    So much said on this topic but I'd like to weigh in as well. I have no problem with the creation and manufacture of smart gun technology, provided that there are not laws created mandating its presence in firearms. I think overall that there are probably many people who would like such a thing...

    What Makes an Arsenal AK Quality?

    Arsenal does a lot of things right. For starters they're using Bulgarian kits for their builds. Bulgaria generally makes the nicest AKs and even Kalashnikov admitted the truth of this at one point. I've also heard that they machines they're using to make the required "made in USA" parts were...

    AK SLR 107-31 or Sam7 UF-85?

    SLR 107 all the way. You won't regret saving $250 and the side folding stock is infinitely superior to the under folder. There's a reason the Russian military doesn't use UFs anymore.

    Duty handgun question

    I have multiple handguns I occasionally carry or keep around the house. Some have safeties. Some don't. On the ones that do some I carry with the safety on and others I don't. But in the case of every single weapon that I keep for self protection I have practiced extensively with it and am...

    NJ man seeks pardon after legally owned gun makes him convicted felon

    I think as gun owners we need to realize something very important: just because we disagree with a law or feels it's unfair, unconstitutional, etc. doesn't change the fact that breaking it will likely end in our arrest and prosecution. In the even of a truly unconstitutional law a great deal of...

    Freedom Munitions

    I love freedom munitions. Their retail store is about a ten minute drive from my house so I've bought thousands of rounds from them over the last couple years. I've never had a problem with the remanufactured stuff. Also at least one of the local ranges stocks freedom ammo for sale so that...

    Range Time, two minor malfunctions?

    My wife and I hit the range last night with a variety of guns and had a blast. It was her first time in roughly 5-6 years so we took four guns and a ton of ammo. We had two minor issues I wanted to ask the community about. 1. I have an M&P compact, originally in .40 that I've switched to 357...

    Arsenal, Saiga, AK, US, Bulgarian, Russian questions

    Correct. The receiver, barrel, bolt carrier, gas tube, and several other parts are Bulgarian made. The fcg, furniture, and muzzle brake (I think) are US made but pretty sure they're made on machinery purchased from eastern europe. They haven't done saiga conversions in a couple years. I...

    another crazy build idea...long range AK?

    It's actually been done before. A few years back Krebs Customs made three one off AKs in 6.5 Grendel, .308, and .223 using a custom designed gas system. These guns were shooting sub MOA using factory AK barrels. I have no idea what range there were tested out to overall but it seems like an...

    Carry in a Medical Facility

    I've worked in a number of hospitals here in the Houston area and I've yet to see one that wasn't posted with a 30.06 sign at every public entrance, and probably all of the employee ones as well. In addition they've all had policies against employees carrying guns. There may be some that allow...

    New (to me) Sig P228 - I got an old friend back!

    A few years ago I was able to purchase a German made P228 that was retired from the Swiss State Police. Not only do I love i but literally everybody I've ever let shoot it has loved it. You've just scored a fantastic gun OP now get out there and shoot it! :D

    Lancaster AKs - any good?

    I would be VERY wary of a Lancaster built rifle. They've turned out some good ones. They've also turned out some absolute pieces of garbage. They also sometimes take people's money and rifles and then disappear for a while. If I was buying one I'd do three things: 1. Look it over...

    Thinking About a Tavor

    Umm... the military version is the standard issue weapon of the Israeli military. I don't see it going out of production anytime soon.

    Remote firearm deactivations

    I find it interesting to note that within the actual patent application they acknowledge the futility of gun free zones. "While such pre-defined areas may prevent lawful gun owners from carrying their weapons in such areas, a criminal may ignore such restrictions, carrying weapons into such...

    Spare mags for an AKM?

    Most AK mags are going to work pretty well with foreign made surplus ones generally being the best, assuming they're not all beat up. The ones I have for my AK run the gamut from polymer, to bakelite, and a couple steel. They all work equally well. The only thing I'd advise is that whatever...

    tactical firearms interesting turn of events

    So let me get this straight: A guy who started a gun store with somebody else's 3 million dollars, ran its debts through the roof, got sued by his principal investor, and has apparently been embezzling cash from that same business....now wants to start a new massive multi million dollar...

    Popular Katy, TX gun store becoming Choke Point victim

    I've been in this store many times and I can honestly say I won't miss them. It's a big store but not really a good one and I can't abide the owner's philosophy on shutting down online ammunition sales. I also have a friend, whom I trust, that is close to the owner and had confided in me...

    AK Trigger, Single & Double Hook

    As others have said there's not really any functional difference between a single and double hook AK trigger although not every receiver is cut to take a double hook. As for upgrading the trigger the Tapco G2 is very popular and is a light trigger with a short pull. I have an Arsenal 2 stage...
