The "and more of it" part of priming compound use suggests that maybe there's less likely to be a priming void in the rim of the cartridge. I've never had a .22 mag dud, but I've fired SO few rounds (compared to .22 lr) that I have no statistical - or even anecdotal - basis to correlate that...

After the Clinton gun ban, SOME magazines began to be manufactured with dates stamped into the body. MOST magazines are not dated, so unless it's a unique magazine of a design or from a manufacturer that wasn't introduced until Jan 2023 or carries a post-Jan'23 date, exactly how will enforcement...

I haven't flown with guns for a number of years - my last few airline trips were to Chicago. But that Pelican case looks good and as I understand things it meets the requirements - hard locked case, guns unloaded, magazines not in the gun and unloaded themselves, ammo in the original boxes, all...

Never owned one myself, but I have shot a couple - the S&W M52 is a very nice target gun - accurate with a good trigger. A lot of the "old time" Bullseye shooters loved them. Steel frame, if I recall. When they were more common, there was a little interest in making them more "practical" . . ...

PROVING someone not actually involved in a crime knew - actually knew - about it in advance would seem to be quite difficult without actual evidence like a video, a text message string, loan of a getaway vehicle, burglary tools or weapons, etc. It would have to be a pretty serious crime for...

I think the main take-away here is that if you're involved in a defensive shooting, DON'T make it easier for the other side in either a criminal or civil proceeding by running your mouth off, LAWYER UP ASAP. There's plenty of good info out there from people like Ayoob and others on how to...

IANAL so I have a question about the registration portion of Illinois' new law. As I understand it, Pritzker's law requires registration of existing "assault weapons." In view of the old SCOTUS case from 1968 (IIRC, it was Haynes vs. US) prohibited persons can't be prosecuted for a registration...

Not to nitpick, but check your math - the total dollars are high by a factor of 10. ;)

Assuming the firearms in question are ordinary handguns, the question has been answered. In the unlikely scenario that legally owned NFA items are involved (for example, an integrally suppressed pistol, or if one of the pistols is something like a Mauser 1932 Schnellfeuer) then there are...

If your wife is not under age ( :eek: ), a resident of another state, or a "prohibited person" there is no Federal restriction on loaning her your revolver or even gifting it to her. Under Federal law, you can simply give it to her with no fuss, no bother. On the other hand, state and local...

I'd strongly suggest going a little bit over the 16" - I have a rifle with a nominal 14.5" barrel, and with a permanently attached muzzle brake (Blind pin, partially welded over) the length is 16 1/4". Being a quarter inch over is safer legally than trying to hit 16" exactly and finding you're...

Are there any existing shooting ranges in your county? If so, contacting them might help determine what the county ordinances are. Otherwise, check with the county zoning commission. You mention that you're not inside city limits - but are you CLOSE to a city? Texas has a nasty little provision...

Steel frame guns like this SIG P210 sure do lend themselves to engraving and embellishment . . \.

If I were looking to get a "non plastic" 9mm, I'd look real hard at Springfield Armory's new version of the classic Browning Hi-Power. The CZ pistols are a good design, but they don't fit my hand as well as the classic Browning. Likewise the SIGs - except for the P210. The new ones are...

I don't have a suppressor, but I'm thinking - hard! - of getting one. I'm sort of waiting to see what the BATmen do later this year regarding "reinterpretation" of arm braces on AR-pattern pistols. I wouldn't sneer at a .22 rimfire for defense - it's MUCH better than bare hands - but over the...

Here's a link to an analysis of Texas' Castle Doctrine laws, provided by Texas Law Shield, a business providing self defense insurance. (I have NO association with this group.) It's too long to repost here, but I've included a link: https://www.uslawshield.com/castle-doctrine-texas/ The bottom...

In a related question - can a father facilitate purchase of a firearm for his minor child living at home? The situation I'm thinking of is if Junior has saved his allowance and odd job money long enough to pay for it himself, can Dad "buy" it for him using Junior's money? Or is that kind of...

From the OP if the person in question is now in his early 20's, it can't be THAT long ago that he "did something stupid" and got a felony record making him a prohibited person. (If he was actually a juvie when he committed the offense, would that still affect him as an adult?)

OK, States may have different red flag laws, so an answer to points 1 and 4 could vary from state to state. Let's ignore those for now. Points 2 and 3 deal more with federal laws - will state red flag laws impact compliance with FEDERAL requirements? It's not obvious to me that a state red flag...

This question is about Red Flag compliance on the part of the person being targeted. I understand different states may have different RF provisions, but I'm curious about implementation. Suppose local LEOs show up early one morning, present you with red flag paperwork, enter your house (you DO...
