    Would-be robber killed in fight with store clerk in Centerfield, Utah

    http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=5802132 The video in the link says it was the female clerk that got the gun and shot the attacker. Lessons learned: Fighting back really can work, and .22's really can kill.

    Where is a good place to go shooting near Las Vegas?

    I could use some help from THR members familiar with the Vegas area. I'm visiting some family in Las Vegas and we want to do some shooting, but aren't sure where we can go. Looking at Google maps, from their house it seems like it would be most convenient to head north on 95 to get out of...

    How would you respond to a telephone survey questioning your status as a gun owner?

    I know some gun owners prefer to keep their gun ownership on the down low. That is a common reason people give for buying from private individuals rather than dealers. Some gun owners joke (?) about explaining their tragic boating accident when the government comes asking about their guns. So...

    Need help with a Mossberg 500 safety malfunction

    I recently purchased a used Mossberg 500. I took it shooting today and found that the safety has a tendency to engage when the slide is racked firmly back, so that I couldn't make a follow up shot without reaching back up with my thumb to disengage the safety. It doesn't happen if I gently...

    Utah - Proposed Bill SB 157 to prevent confiscations during declared emergencies

    I am happy to see this bill being proposed in Utah's legislature. I just wrote a letter to my state senator asking her to support it. I'm hoping it will be a slam dunk, but I wanted to post it here to encourage Utahns to let their voices be heard. Telephone numbers and email addresses for...

    Arizona Legislature proposes bill to allow CCW in Schools

    Looks like some good news from Arizona. I didn't see this anywhere on THR and thought is was worth posting. I'm thinking one of you Arizonans might want to start a thread in activism with a plan to show your support. http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/local/articles/0126gunbill0126.html

    THR Activists Successful in Swaying Romney!

    OK, Maybe my headline is a little bit of an exaggeration. But I was excited to see that three days after I started a thread in activism to get THR members to let Romney hear our voices telling him where he was wrong on assault weapons bans, he came out with a press release stating that he does...

    M16/M4/AR15 Reliability Poll – Mark all that apply

    I understand this subject has been hashed out a time or two, but after doing a quick search I couldn’t find any polls on the subject. I’m hoping a lot of people will participate in the poll, but the intent isn’t to start a new thread to hash it out, as that can be found elsewhere. Also, if...

    Sheriff proud of civilian using shotgun for HD

    I wanted to share this story I saw on Clayton Cramer's civilian gun self-defense blog at: http://www.claytoncramer.com/gundefenseblog/blogger.html It has a great ending for those of us that are tired of hearing the typical closing line about how the Police discourage victims from trying to...

    What's your stance on the proposed assault weapons ban?

    Note that the poll is multiple choice. Select all that apply. To simplify things, I'm using the term "assault weapon" as defined by the proposed H.R. 1022: Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2007 For details go to...

    Are background checks good or bad?

    Some of us take comfort in the idea that convicted felons, illegal aliens, and people who are adjudicated mentally deficient can't walk into any gun store and get a gun. Some of us think anybody should be able to get a gun and it is none of the government's business. Where do you stand...
