    "Baby on Board" Sticker

    My wife and I were discussing the "Baby on Board" stickers while driving the other night, and she raised an interesting point: could it make the people driving the car with the sticker more of a target because the hands of someone with a baby are inherently more "full" than someone without...

    Converting a .45ACP to 10mm

    I may be showing my ignorance, but is it possible to convert a 1911 in .45ACP to 10mm? If so, what parts and mods are needed, and how much do you think it would cost?

    Proper way to mount a scope

    I recently bought a 4-14x44 scope with a 30mm tube. It is going on a Remington model 700 with weaver style bases which clamp to the rail using a cross screw. This rifle has functioned very well over several years using a one inch scope, so the rifle isn't the problem. The factory rings that...

    Case wall thickness and runout

    What is an acceptable amount of runout around the case mouth on a .270 Winchester case? This case hasn't been loaded yet, but it is once fired, and I wanted to know at what point it needs to be brought back into round. Also, what is the nominal case wall thickness for the same case just...

    Loose Thumb Safety on Taurus PT1911

    About a year and a half ago I bought a Taurus PT1911 at a BassPro in Nashville. Blue finish, no light rail. Lately something disturbing has happened; If I fire more than about two magazines through it, the ambidextrous thumb safety starts to separate and come out of each side of the frame. I...

    Location of Bedroom

    I am about to move into a new apartment and I have a question about the location of my bedroom. One bedroom is almost directly at the top of the stairs facing down them, and the other is directly across from it, so you have to do a 180 turn to enter it once you reach the top of the stairs. My...

    Buying a gun in another state

    I am moving to a part of Tennessee that is rather close to Kentucky, and I am looking to buy a handgun. My question is, is there a legal issue with buying a handgun in KY and me living in TN? Incidentally, I'm buying it in KY because of the lower sales tax.

    Gang initiation at Wal-Mart

    I just got this in an email as I am a student at TTU. Considering I was just there today, I'm glad I was carrying at the time. TTU and Cookeville Police have been made aware of a text message circulating about rumors of a gang initiation at Wal-Mart. TTU Police officials have spoken with the...

    Brass Knuckles Illegal?

    I know that many companies will market brass knuckles as "novelty paperweights" but if used for their intended purpose (with justifiable cause, of course) are they considered in the same way as something like a collapsible baton would be? i.e. a concealable weapon.

    Winchester Mod. 1400

    Has anyone ever heard of a Winchester Model 1400? My father has a matched set of 12 and 20 gage that his father bought new in about 1977, and they are both in pretty good shape. Could anyone give me an idea of their worth? BTW, they are NOT for sale, I'm just curious:)

    Most Critical Equipment

    I am a beginning handloader, and I have a Hornady press, powder scale, powder dispenser, deprimer, and a set of dies. In your opinion, what is the next most critical thing that I couldn't make myself? (I'm a Manufacturing Industrial Tech. major; I'm pretty inventive.) Obviously I need the...

    Best self defense books

    So I just found out the neighborhood I live in isn't the best in the world. No, nothing happened to me, but I would like any suggestions you may have as to the best self defense books to get. Especially on handling home invasions, pistolcraft, personal awareness, etc.
