The public library in Cedar Park Texas has this "Behavior Policy" posted inside the front entrance. I never saw it until I happened to be waiting around and glanced at the pin up board which is not exactly obvious unless you are looking for it off on a side wall. Sorry for the blurry pics...

While shooting at ranges over the years I have had people approach my personal space while I was focused on my shooting or reloading etc... One time a range officer approached my side and started asking me what kind of gun I was shooting and even if he could shoot it etc... while I was in the...

Some lubes and metal coatings are rated for up to certain temperatures, so I am wondering just how hot a semi-auto or revolver gets during normal use, on the slide and barrel especially... 200 degrees? 300? 400? Maybe even during a fast range session or drill. I'm not talking ammo dumping...

Is it possible to convert a ported gun to non-ported by plugging up the holes with something? How would one go about doing this? Has this been done before?

Besides oiling, what can I put on my S&W 296 revolver trigger to keep it from rusting? The rest of the gun is rustproof (scanium/titanium) but that darn trigger is steel so it will start to rust when I carry it here in hot Texas. I have been putting a coat of oil on the trigger occasionally...

For self defense revolvers, has anyone done away with the speed loaders and speed strips and just carry loose rounds for reloads? And of course, why?

Anyone know anything about handgun flares such as these? http://hitechammotogo.com/html/handgun_flares.html I have a .44 Special revolver with titanium cylinder and figured some emergency flares might be good to bring along on hiking/camping trips. I'm trying to find out how loud they...

"Texas is not a traditional open carry state. They also do not allow open carry, or even printing, by those who have a concealed carry permit." I used to carry a waist pack here in Texas when I was not even carrying a gun. It held my cell phone wallet tools etc. and the entire pack bulged...

In a self defense situation using a revolver, is there any benefit to shooting with the revolver shoved firmly into the target vs shooting with the muzzle a few inches away? Suppose a guy with a knife is on top of you and gun retention is not a factor. Have there been any tests done on this...

Just bought a used like new S&W 296 Airlite Ti .44 Special... :) It does not have the steel flame guard under the top strap - the little piece of metal above the cylinder/barrel gap to prevent flame cutting of the frame. I plan on shooting the gun frequently but naturally the only ammo I...

Referring to the grip safety lever on the back strap of the grip such as those found on XD's, 1911's, and some revolvers... Has a grip safety ever prevented you from pulling the trigger when you wanted to? Perhaps you didn't have a perfect grip to disengage the safety to fire, or the grip...

I posted a thread 3 months ago about the use of lethal force against a person to prevent that person from disarming a CCWer of his own gun: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=558930&highlight= I just saw a video on Youtube where a guy states: (03:29) "The Supreme Court has deemed...

Is the double action trigger pull weight the same when comparing hammer vs hammerless versions of the same revolver? Smith & Wesson M&P360 vs M&P340 to be more specific. Thanks

If you have experience shooting both .40 S&W AND .44 Special I would appreciate some feedback regarding the comparitive noise levels of both. I am considering purchasing only one of these two guns, both shooting heavier 180-240 grain SUBSONIC ammo under 1050 feet per second from NON-compensated...

In an altercation where you would not normally draw your gun but the mere act of you LAWFULLY carrying CONCEALED presents you with a situation where you have reason to believe that the person will or might try to take your gun away from you and will or might use it to shoot you or will or might...

I went to the local gun store and asked if they had the Glock 23 Gen 4 yet and the guy behind the counter said yes and started looking around inside the display case and even yelled over to his buddy "where's that gen 4 23?". So I'm thinking GREAT! I didn't think it would be out yet... So...

New England Firearms Model B22 Blank firing 9 shot revolver. Does the law consider this a firearm to any degree? I assume one doesn't need an FFL to buy/sell thse things. Anyone know anything about these models?

I will be purchasing a brand new hand gun soon. How do I make sure I receive a new, unfired (other than factory test rounds), non-returned gun besides taking the sellers word? No I don't trust people in this capacity. I pay for a new gun, I want a new gun end of story no exeptions. I do not...

EDIT: IGNORE THE FIRST SENTENCE IN THIS POST ("I am justifiably...") I am justifiably holding a criminal at gunpoint and waiting for the police to arrive. As the police arrive how do I identify myself as the good guy without being shot by friendly fire? I can't drop my weapon because the...
