    Kansas City gun shop sued over ammo sale

    How do they know that the killers didn't have a female buy the ammo? Do they have him on tape? Seems to me they just have a receipt. Unless he signed the bottom and they can match the handwriting or the store had a tape/the cashier remembers the purchase, it seems like a witch hunt. This is...

    must reveal CCW to cop if jogging? (TX)

    I have a friend that makes it a point to go toe to toe with police officers about what they can and can not do. He will OC in Virginia, be asked for his ID, and instead will verbally give his identification and walk away, as there is no requirement to produce ID in that case. For my money, I...

    Deterence vs Tactical Surprise

    I try to be the grey man as much as possible. No gun stickers, no gun t-shirts, no open carry, nothing. I rely on POSTURE to ward off attacks. Head up like a meat eater, look around, LOOK at threats, don't look away and be cowed. With my haircut and bearing, most would assume I'm a cop anyway...

    What lasts longer in EBR-types--SN'ed upper, or SN'ed lower?

    In some of those newer modular rifles isn't the upper just a shell that easily allows barrels and bolts to be swapped out for different calibers? If so, it makes sense, as the lower has to change for different magazines. Swapping an AR upper makes sense because changing the barrel is a lot of work.

    Just Bought An AR Lower...Now I Need To Get An Upper!

    I've had an upper on order from model1 for a few weeks. While they say nothing on the website, I suspect they are experiencing the same delays as everyone else. At least they have not charged me yet.

    This is my last Hollywood rant -- I PROMISE!!!

    You guys have to realize that guns are just a means to a dramatic end for movie directors. They want it as a symbol of tension, hence the multiple racks and hammer cocks (I've seen them do SEVERAL slide racks, like in Jason X, losing a round each time!). The effects must be equally dramatic...

    Reality check, what will the Obama admin GET out of us?

    I think he will wait until he can be sure of a SCOTUS win should a new weapon ban be challenged with DC vs Heller. Plus, a fight to ban guns while the economy and the war is still the top topic will show that he isn't focused where he was promising. Finally, there are a LOT more "AWB"...

    Attn: Forensic experts/Medical trained professionals

    The "shoulder" is actually a large group of parts with some major nerves and blood vessels. The very lateral area is just muscle (the deltoids) which could be hit and still be pretty survivable. You could probably even raise your arm (anterior delts are right over the shoulder joint), though not...

    WEIGHT LOSS FOR IPSC/Bullseye

    Dieting is easy. Look at the package. If "corn syrup" or the even more evil "high fructose corn syrup" is listed ANYWHERE, put it back. This one criteria alone will eliminate almost any food that will inhibit weight loss (except ALCOHOL, gotta cut that out too!!!!!!). Means you will be...

    New C&R advice thread

    The BATFE took my $30 for my C7R renewal in Feb. Promptly lost it, never contact me, and when I finally called about it last week told me the money was sitting in my account and I should re-apply for a brand new license. So if it has been more than 3-4 months, CALL. Their taking of your money...

    How is a supressor on an air rifle not a class 3 device

    Out of curiosity, can folks safely hunt deer and bobcats with a Gamo? In their commercial they show a lot of game taking that seems to be pretty incredible from an air rifle. Maybe I'm ignorant on this level of air rifle. I take it a gamo is a bit too much for backyard plinking in a suburb?

    What would you change if you had Open Carry?

    To me "open carry" means I can carry concealed but not worry if I print of inadvertantly expose my pistol. So I would still carry IWB or with a cover garmet, but I would probably carry a larger pistol. If I was going to carry totally open, then a retention holster would be almost mandatory...

    Dremel tools

    Please, give me a dremel, a block of wood, and a cube of steel and I'll have a 1911 built from scratch in a weekend :P Seriously though, be careful with the dremel. I think if you plan on delicate trigger jobs, etc, you are better off STARTING with files, progressing to the dremel as...

    Kilt Carry

    Yeah, I just read the thread for the "proof". Seems like one employee mentions the owner is anti-gun as justification for why they wouldn't add a tool loop to both sides of the workmans kilt. No other details that I could find. Possibly the owner carries a scottish claymore into the woods...

    Kilt Carry

    I have a utilikilt. Alas, I didn't discover the attention it attracts until AFTER I got married :P Provided you have a relatively flat stomach, broadish shoulders, and good calves, a utilikilt will make you IRRESISTABLE to the ladies, all of whom want to know what is worn under the kilt, to...

    Shooting Gallery covering IDPA (STOVEPIPE)

    I don't mind having a good mix of stuff. All these shows tend to hit the same things. I seem to see the latest boom-stick show up on Shooting USA, G&A, and American Rifleman within a few weeks of each other, while the big competitions can pop up on SG and Shooting USA/Sighting In. Fortunately...

    Looks like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

    Have you guys seen those all enclosed experimental rounds in one of the latest American Rifleman mags? Looked like the cases were plastic or something. Supposed to be lighter than conventional rounds of the same caliber and performance. THAT to me is a worthy innovation. Of course I am not...

    Coverage of Olympic Shooting Events

    Stuff like the steel challenge would be nice. I think you have to have firmly fixed courses of fire for the Olympics. Plus there are lots of countries where "run and gun" type matches such as IDPA would be impractical due to general weapon restrictions. The US and a few other countries would be...
