Can anyone recommend a competent and professional instructor for my 21-year-old granddaughter? She lives in Casper WY. I've given her some training, but I think she would profit from taking a basic handgun course and then going on to more advanced training that reinforces proficiency and...

Why doesn’t someone make a lever action in 9mm or .45 cal? It seems to me that the only real issue would be getting a grip on the semi-rimmed semi-auto round, vice the conventional rimmed round that lever actions normally digest.

I'm very new new to shotguns, so I may not even be using the correct terminology. Please bear with me. I bought a used-but-looks-new (maybe unfired) 870 in 20 gauge at a pawn shop. I'm running into a frequent problem, and I don't even want to load the gun until it is sorted out. Frequently...

The Remington 7615 is a fine pump-action rifle in .223 that takes AR-15 magazines. I bought one with iron sights at a gun show for about $330 in 2006. A few months ago, I gave it to my oldest son, and then I immediately bought another for $1200 !!! Anyway, the one I gave my son had factory...

It makes no sense that an honest CCW holder be forced to park outside Post Office property, unholster his gun, and then stow it in his vehicle, before conducting business in the Post Office. Who wants to change this? I think it would help sell "Post Office Carry" if we point out to our...

I think it would help sell "Post Office Carry" if we point out that it would have ZERO cost to the taxpayers while inserting a bit of common sense into the lives of regular citizens (i.e., the post office is not in any way a "sensitive area" as defined by Heller). I propose the changes...

Anyone interested in joining me in advocating for Florida to adopt the US Model 1892 Krag as its official state rifle? I think a strong case can be made that Florida has had a special historical relationship with this handsome-looking rifle. More importantly, designating the Krag as the...

I'm having a heck of a time finding Junior NRA Rifle Classes for grandkids in Casper WY and in Crestview and Melbourne FL. My father enrolled me in Junior NRA Rifle classes when I was in 7th grade at Mountain Home AFB ID and in 8th grade in Wichita KS. Those classes were wonderfully...

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good training group in or near Melbourne, Florida? My daughter has received basic CCW training, but she should get more followon training. Also, are there any social shooting groups?

My 7615 action seems really smooth...until I put a magazine in it. I can't get the bolt to pass either way over an fully seated magazine. Ideas? - - - Yoda

We're having an addition built onto our house, and it includes an 8 x 10 walk-in closet... with cinderblock and rebar walls and ceiling. We figure it will make a useful tornado shelter and gun vault. Question: What sort of vault door would you recommend? It seems to me we want a good...

Check out the STORE video. Wait until after you see EVERYONE leave the store on the outside camera. Here's the link: http://www.myfoxorlando.com/story/26298081/surveillance-video-released-in-hopes-of-catching-purse-snatching-suspect Here's the point: Watch carefully. The THIRD dude...

I just saw King on Fox, explaining that since there were reportedly 22 wounded at Fort Hood, the shooter was probably using a fully automatic weapon. Thank you, Representative King of New York, for your expert analysis! - - - Yoda

Found 400 rounds of .45 ACP and 1,000 of .22 LR over the weekend! Decent, but not great, prices. I'm happy. - - - Yoda

This is new. Two petite police officers win a suit, in part, because the issue Glocks are too big for their hands. Seems there would have been many other guns that could have been issued to them, if their department had only been a bit more flexible. Here's the link...

One of my CCW students from about four or five years ago called me at about 11 PM last week. She thought someone was breaking into her house. I told her to hang up and call 911. She said she wasn't THAT sure someone was breaking in, so she was just going to get her gun. Then she...

Here are some links on yesterday's decision to put armed guards in all Hillsborough County schools: http://www.tampabay.com/news/education/k12/hillsborough-school-board-approves-armed-guards-for-elementary-schools/2157655...

Let's see... Assuming you are as well trained and accurate under stress as your average NYC policeman, who hits his intended target only about 20% of the time, and assuming you are carrying in compliance with NYS's 7-round limit, then you're OK... provided you only get attacked by 1.4 bad guys...

The WSJ published a thoughtful piece on mass shootings that is worth a read. Its main conclusions focuses on things that I suspect many of us here would agree with (I.e., avoiding sensational reporting), but the article goes further and provides some good rationale for that action and cites...

I stopped by Gander Mountain in Ocala FL Friday night, and they have shopping cartloads of ammo. They were a bit short of .22LR, and there was no .44 SPL, Makarov, and 327 Mag, but otherwise, there was more than you could want, and most of it at pre-panic prices. (For some reason, I can only...
