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...

Biden just signed a new gun law known as the "Bipartisan Safer Communities Act" which was passed with the votes of various GOP senators including my own senator John Cornyn. :( So it's now law, and addresses things like mental health, enhanced background checks, red flag laws in the states, etc...

Found the following news story: https://www.yahoo.com/news/york-poised-raise-age-semiautomatic-172322196.html Apparently the NY legislature is raising the age for purchase or possession of a semi-automatic rifle to 21. I don't live in NY and I saw my 21st birthday long ago, but I was wondering...

I've seen some ads listing old warbirds for sale - "fully restored" except for the armament. A P-51D can go for a million dollars or more, so anyone who is seriously in the market for one has deep pockets - certainly deep enough to buy half a dozen .50 Brownings, pay the $200 on each for a tax...

I read a recent news story about how a gun shop owner in Baltimore shot a couple of looters who'd broken into his shop. One was DRT, and police found "a pistol which didn't belong to the gun shop owner" at the crime scene. The story said the gun shop owner was taken to the police station for...

It's my understanding that FFL license holders are required to retain their 4473 forms for a period of 20 years; if they go out of business, their records go to the ATF. I know a LOT of businesses have formal records retention policies which mandate records of certain types be destroyed after...

It's now been about 2 years since the BATF determined that there are legal and not legal ways to hold certain firearms, notably AR-based pistols with a SIG brace. My question is - does anyone here have knowledge of any individual being detained, arrested, indicted, prosecuted, or fined for...

Crimson Trace has had a lock on laser grips for a long time - but now I see that Hogue has brought out their own line, which looks a lot like the ones from Crimson Trace with the laser alongside the right side of the frame and the activation button on the front of the grip just below the trigger...

I've been a satisfied user of Leupold optics for decades - and now I'm looking for a new, high power variable "tactical" scope. Naturally, Leupold is at the top of my list. I see Leupold has several Mk IV variable scopes which include integral illumination . . . but from reading the...

I remember my Dad told me that during WWII, the armorers would load belts of .50 BMG for the P-51s with different types of ammo for a "combat load" . . . I think I remember him telling me the loadout included ball, AP, tracer, incendiary, maybe explosive, and that all the different color tips...

I'm looking for information on a Chicago Police Department "125 years of service" commemorative. It's in a presentation box with a star carved into the top with the dates "1855 - 1980." The revolver (a Model 66-1) appears unfired. Supica's "Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson, Second Edition"...

The August 2008 issue of GUNS magazine has an article on the Kel-Tel PLR-16, a .223 pistol which takes AR15 mags. On page 58 they have a photo of an "accessorized" PLR-16 with a caption that reads Uh oh. While I see the utility here, doesn't the addition of a forward pistol grip turn a...

The September 2007 issue of American Rifleman magazine has a spread by field editor Wiley Clapp on a couple of Para-Ordnance .45s . . . these are billed as "Gun Rights" guns since for each one purchased PO will donate $25 to the NRA to fight to preserve the 2nd Amendment. There were two...

In 2005, a guy named Massigh Stallman held up a convenience store, robbed a woman, and wounded a deputy. After a car chase, Stallman ran into the woods, and police began a manhunt. Meanwhile, 40 miles away, Missouri Highway Patrol Trooper Ralph Tatoian, on his way to join the search at high...

Just this week, I received two special subscription offers in the mail . . . Shooting Times magazine offered me a 12-month subscription for $8. Guns & Ammo offered me a 24-month subscription for $12. Considering a first-class letter costs 41 cents to mail, even at reduced rates these...

I've read the reports in the gun rags, and the XD45 sounds interesting . . . I handled one at Cabela's and it felt better in my hand than a G21, but after getting burned with a Kahr P9 based on gun rag fables, I figured I'd ask the members of this august assembly about THEIR experiences. So ...

Seems that Thabo Mbeki's government is threatening white farmers with land seizures in six months if they don't agree to sell their land for prices the government deems "reasonable" in order to hand it over to people with the correct skin color. Full story at...

Just read that Dakota Arms filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection a couple of weeks ago. Guess not enough people were willing to shell out ~$5k and up for what amounts to a prettied-up Model 70, but without the cone breech.

I recently got another CMP Garand, this one a "Field Grade" mixmaster. What I'd like is a recommendation for someone who does a decent "WWII" - type gray reparkerizing on M1s . . . these days it looks like most shops are doing a very very dark, almost black parkerizing, and I'd like...
