    Excess ammo: to sell or not to sell?

    I stocked up on premium JHP over the last few years. I'm talking about Gold Dots and Ranger Talons, Bonded, etc. for $18 a box of 50rds. I have more than I would ever need in a lifetime, and I don't have enough space to store it securely. I'm considering selling it for that reason, at...

    Medical conditions and Self Defense

    At 30 years old, I recently suffered from two pulmonary embolisms about two weeks apart. Due to locations of some of the clots, I've been in severe pain, to the point where I couldn't move or do anything for myself. I could not even breathe other than shallow breaths. I was a very physically fit...

    Home security systems

    I've been thinking about buying a couple of game cameras to place around the house in case anyone ever broke in. Primary reason is that they don't require you to run power out to their location and they have internal storage. I don't want to run wire around the house, OR have somenone steal...

    When do you deem an AR-15 reliable?

    Mine don't jam, but I only shoot slow fire at targets. I will say I have shot 1,000 rounds of Tula which is dirty as heck through one and another 1,000 .22 lr without cleaning (just lubing) and it still doesn't jam. Some say that I need to dump 3-6 mags rapid fire to consider it reliable. Do...

    How do you handle people who stare you down?

    So I'm at the gas station with my gf, and this fat Mexican "kid" drives around us and gives me the evil eye like he's some bad bandito. I'm open carrying, and he didn't see it until he got out of the car to pump gas. He comments on my gun saying something like 'you got that strap'. My...

    Are chrome lined barrels overrated?

    I hear some people talking about how they wouldn't use an AR-15 that doesn't have a chrome lined barrel in combat, citing reliability concerns. I wonder where this reasoning comes from, considering Glocks, Sig's, etc. don't have chrome lined barrels and are even more reliable that many assault...

    What is this gunk on my Winchester Ranger Talon ammo?

    I recently ordered a bunch of Winchester Ranger Talon 9mm 147gr JHP from OMBExpress and it has what looks like the gunk under your fingernails on the cases and primers. It's small ammounts but it sure doesn't look too comforting. It doesn't scrape off either, at least not easily.

    Flash mobs: Shotgun or Carbine?

    What would be more effective against a flash mob? Let's assume you keep both in your vehicle and are near your vehicle, or close enough that you can use your pistol to get to long guns. Which would you pick? ALSO: Would a Jack Bauer style bag of Glock 18 mags be better? At least you have...

    AK sights faster than AR sights?

    A member here (Shawn Dodson) recently commented that AK sights are faster than AR sights. I just don't see it. I have found AR sights to not only be faster but MUCH easier to aim at speed. Really I don't even try to align the front sight with the rear, it happens naturally as I bring the...

    CMMG .22 conversion and Plumcrazy lower?

    I have a cmmg .22 conversion that works (after a lot of troubleshooting) in my Del-Ton, but will it work on a plumcrazy lower?

    55gr vs 62gr 5.56 ammo for SD?

    I usually shoot steel cased Tula or Ulyanovsk ammo out of my 1/9 twist molly chrome barrels. Right now I have the opportunity to buy a 300rd pack of 62gr green tip penetrator ammo for $106 shipped and after seeing it go through a 1/4 thick plate at 80 yards on youtube, I'm interested. I...

    Should I buy even more premium JHP?

    I have several thousand rounds of premium JHP on hand as it is, more than I will ever use in my life time even cycling them each year to freshen up my carry mags. Right now I have an opportunity to get 2K more rounds at a really good price and I'm wondering if I should. Prices are likely to just...

    Can you carry a long gun in your yard in the city?

    Let's say you live in the suburbs of a city. In this example, Washington state. Can you walk outside in your yard carrying a rifle? What about confront a trespasser in your yard with a long gun? Or would it be considered brandishing in any way? Open carry is legal in WA, for rifles and...

    What if you didn't have any guns?

    Let's say you lived somewhere you could not have them, couldn't afford them, or whatever. What do you suppose your life would be like without them? What would you use for defense? What would be your hobby? Would you be bummed? Guns are such a huge part of my life, that I don't know what I...

    Is it legal or illegal to carry lock picks in WA?

    My UPS guy and OPSEC after several large ammo purchases

    Over the last few months I've ordered...more than a few cases of ammo. Today, he had a strange look on his face. He seems like a guy in his own world, with one of those handlebar moustaches, but I can't help but wonder if he is the weak link in my opsec. I hope he doesn't rob me or tell his...

    COP: Carrying a folding knife illegal in WA

    I had to report for Jury Duty today, and foolishly decided to carry and check my gun with the Deputies instead of leaving it at home like usual. Immediately I was treated like a criminal. On top of that, for whatever reason questioned about how many rounds my magazines hold. I never got an...

    How did I do on this shotgun?

    I bought a used (private sale) Maverick 88, 6 shot 12 ga the other day. It came with an 18.5" and 30" or so barrel. The finish is well worn off in some spots/splaches on the barrels, noticeably so. Paid $200 for it. I just saw it and jumped on it. What do you think, was that toooo much?
