    "Hand over the money or I will kill you!"

    I had a conversation at work this last week where somehow we got to the topic of how to properly respond to a robbery. My response was that given the person has just threatened my life I am free to respond up to and including lethal force. My coworker said that given that a choice was offered...

    Anyone get called by Common Sense Issues?

    I had one of those automated polling computers call me today. Once I figured out I had a computer call me my first impulse was to hang up. Once I figured out it was a political entity that was calling me my second impulse was to hang up. Something compelled me to listen. I was asked many...

    looking for a double barrel .410 bore/.45 colt

    I've been looking for a double barrel long arm that chambers both .410 bore shots and slugs as well as .45 colt cartridges. I've seen revolvers and derringers. I've seen single shot. I have not seen a double barrel long arm that can chamber .45 colt and .410 bore. Does such a beast exist...

    I shot that raccoon... sorta

    I have a raccoon making a mess of my property. I thought I had everything all buttoned up so they no longer had a warm place to sleep but those little ****s tore a hole in my roof. Earlier tonight I waited for one to poke its little head out where I could shoot it. I loaded the rifle with CCI...

    Companion and backup guns, and compatible ammo

    I've been thinking about my next firearm purchase and was thinking about some things I've read here and other places. One thing I noticed was talk of "companion rifles" or "companion guns" where people would get a handgun and rifle pair that use the same ammunition. I've also noticed where...

    "Moving" (on paper) to get CCP

    This is a wacky idea, I know that, so bear with me and tell me what you think. Where I work we got a few people that we're hired new in the last year or so, all of them from states that have shall issue laws for conceal carry permits. There is also a former LEO and a couple long time Iowa...

    Firearm purchase denied/Q's on ID

    So I go in to Gander Mountain to get the rifle I ordered. I'm asked to provide ID which I produce. The first thing he asks is if the address on my driver license is my current address. I say no, and he gives me a "I wish you hadn't said that" look. I thought ahead and brought my checkbook...

    Papers, please?

    This isn't related to firearms exactly but it certainly is legal and political. http://www.wmtradio.com/cc-common/news/sections/newsarticle.html?feed=104668&article=2349337 Let's see if I have this straight. The guy was acting "suspicious", whatever that means. So he's stopped and...

    Hearing the other side of the debate

    I've been doing research of and on about buying a rifle for a while now and in doing so I came across this site and others like it. I've seen many people argue about the Second Amendment to our Constitution and how all have a right to keep and bear arms. Having read what I have I'd like to see...

    Q's on Ruger 77/22

    Looking to buy my first firearm and I've convinced myself I want a Ruger 77/22. I'm debating whether I should buy the "all weather" version with the synthetic stock and 20" barrel or the "target" version with the 24" barrel. I guess the first question would be how does the barrel length...
