Situations like this are exactly the reason that even after doing my student teaching I went into retail. Kid threatens to "cap" me. Makes finger pistol and the motion of firing gun. I talk to him after class. "So you like guns?" He says, "Yeah." I say, "I like guns too!" Not a...

I have a '95 Chilean Mauser rechambered for 30'06 that has taken many deer.

Sheriff's deputies in my home county carry S&W Police Specials.

The lapse of the Clinton-era assault rifle ban is the cause of all this.

Better to shoot and let a jury decide your fate, than to let an angry mob decide your fate. In either case, you may lose your life (execution / beaten to death) but you stand a whole lot better chance with people who have cooler heads.

I'd call him a poser. Guitars, like guns, need love. A guitar needs to be broken in, just like a gun. Until you get all the little spurs off the frets, steel wool the back of the neck until it's nice and smooth, and put at least 20 hours of playing through it, it's still going to feel tight...

When preparing to enter a townhouse, one character tells another not to use an MP-5 and to use an AR-15. He says the walls are paper thin and the 9mm will punch right through them. This puzzled the hell out of me because I am pretty sure most special forces use MP-5's because they DON'T...

Good to know.

The receiver is stamped "MAUSER CHILENO 1895 BERLIN". I'd be really interested to find out who actually did the conversion/sporterizing. It's well-done. I loved this gun so much that I named the family dog Mauser back in 1985.

It shoots standard Springfield ammo just fine. I would definitely keep it away from match-grade or Garand ammo. Firstly, it is top-loaded, without a stripper clip. You push in each round in turn. It's a double-stack magazine that holds 5. I have no idea who or what designed this. Dad never...

We ARE talking about Elmer Keith, here. Not you or me.

Heavy? Maybe it's because I carried a Remington 1100 LT when I was 13, but I just don't see it that way. Carrying my trumpet in its case to the bus stop was harder at that time. I'm pretty sure my Stratocaster is heavier than my 870, and I wear that thing around my neck for 2 or 3 hours at a...

Yes, we do give them some moral (and materiel) support. :)

I adhere to the school of point-shooting (smirk). No, really, my main pistol has non-adjustable sights, and I find that if I place the front sight in the center, about 1 mm below the rear ones, it will shoot perfectly straight at 25 yards. Raise and lower for elevation. Takes me about a half...

My mom grows vegetables and cans them, has tons of meat in the freezer, lives on 90 acres in the middle of nowhere and is surrounded by gun-toting hunting neighbors who all love her and would defend her themselves. And most of my guns are there. SHTF, that's where I'm headed.

I will say that this is merely anecdotal, but would you consider a Ruger Blackhawk a quality revolver? Because I've had more problems with that than my 870. In which case, you'll have plenty of empty beer cans to blast away at.

Very nice one there.

I was going to make some comment about compensating, but probably shouldn't.

I have a B.A. in History with a concentration on Eastern Europe and Russia. I do know that most of the Jews in Germany were stripped of the right to firearms long before the true aims of the Holocaust became clear. Not too clear on the Poles, but the Soviets took guns away from just about...

Just a few points about this I'd like to make. Most regarding home defense. A stock with a pistol grip and an 18" barrel solve most of those problems. Shotgun pellets, and even buckshot, travel a hell of a lot less distance than revolver rounds. The whole reason people use shotguns for...
