    Carry permits as a revenue stream?

    I just finished reading an article I will post below that justified continuing carry permits as a valid revenue stream. Really? https://www.wdrb.com/news/ending-indiana-gun-permits-could-cost-police-3-5-million/article_4b25a12e-12e2-5729-be42-55d3b49d23e1.html

    Legal vs Moral

    I didn't want to hijack the thread about traveling between states with a firearm so I am starting a new one here. I was telling my wife about the thread and mentioned that one of the posters commented that he would lock his gun in the trunk to avoid possibly being arrested and jailed while...

    Is this a good time to sell guns?

    I have been out of the loop for awhile. I have some guns I don't use and haven't even touched in a long time. All are in good shape, just lonely for use and companionship. That being said, is this a good time to sell guns? I am talking purely the economy and its effect on the gun industry...

    Re-packing 12 gauge shells

    Please note, I am not talking about reloading a fired round. Is it worthwhile to open a standard field and target load and replace the shot with larger gauge shot such as BB's. I know little about the ballistics of shotgun shells and am wondering if I could alter a dozen or so for short...

    Rossi/Braztech duo

    I picked up a Rossi/Braztech duo in .410 and .22 over the weekend. Took it out Sunday to check it out. Broken down and in its soft carry case it fits in the ammo can on the front of our quad. Found a bank to shoot into and set up a target. The .410 shoots nicely into the 9" foam plates I...

    Rossi/Braztech duo set

    I was at a Walmart looking to see if thay had an NEF Pardner in stock. I checked last week and they were out but expected some in. They get $117.00 for them which seemed like not a bad price. The clerk said, No they hadn't gotten any it, but wanted me to look at something they had just put in...

    Braztech combo and trio.

    Have any of you bought and used one of the Braztech combo rifles. I can get a 410, 22, 243 combo which I thought would be a good thing on the backcountry trips I make. I'd like input from foks with actual experience. If you just want to bash, skip this thread please.

    Braztech combo rifle

    Have any of you tried one of the Braztech combo rifles? I saw one today in 410/22 and another one in 20ga/243/22. It was the compact version which is fine with me as it would fit in the mortar round ammo can on the front of my quad when taken down. I asked the shop owner to check on getting...

    How would you handle this?

    I was in the Valley of Sin over the weekend helping out a friend. I got a call at 1:30 in the morning from my Son saying he had been chewed up by trying to stop a fight between his pitbulll and a rottweilller. He sounded really shook up which is unusual for him. We were staying at my friend's...

    VMD for IMR 4831

    My charts don't show a VMD for IMR 4831. Do any of you have it. I just guessed which disks I needed for the weight and was only .1g off. I would still like to have the VMD if anyone has it.

    Any one else done this?

    While setting up my Lee 3 hole press for some 38 sp, I had a thought about wanting to make it easier to use ambidextrously. As you all know, you can move the front support post to the left or right according to handedness. Since I am ambidextrous, I wondered how it would work with NO front...

    Took the Mossberg 500 out to play today!

    I got my chores done early today, so I cheated a little and took the Mossberg 500 12ga out to play today. Stopped by the Dollar store and bought two cheap Flying Disks (Flying Saucers or Frisbees to some of you.) and some styrofoam plates to use for targets. The loads were the Bulk pack...

    Acronyms used on Gun forums

    Acronyms bug me. I grew up using the King's English and at that time there were few cases where acronyms were used. We had some abbreviations which were standard, such as FBI, GOP, KISS, etc. I try to figure out what people are trying to say and have had to refer to the on-line dictionary...

    Does head stamp really matter?

    I read a lot of threads on here about a failure to do this or that, read sales threads where people want to know if the seller has "this" or "that" headstamp. I have to say, that other than an obviously poor individual case, I rarely care what headstamp anything is. I have shot competitively...

    Ok you gunner gurus

    I have a Mossberg 500 pump with 18 1/2" barrel coming later in the week. Just went to a Sportsman's Warehouse and checked out 12 ga. shells. I know next to nothing about what is a "good" plinking/practice round for 12 ga. I looked the stock over and picked up the following for $8.99 a box...
