Assuming, you will be buried and not cremated. But, maybe you can put a pocket pistol in the urn with you. When I die I'll be buried with my Browning Hi-power. For the simple fact that it's my favorite handgun of all time and my primary carry firearm. Maybe, I'll throw in another gun or two...

I was listening to NPR and the discussion was about gun/gun violence from a public health perspective. On the broadcast they played a soundclip of a mother of one of the shooting victims in the Thousand Oaks, CA bar mass shooting. I also saw this on a tv newscast. The mother was on camera saying...

What's the achille's heel of handguns, shotguns, rifles? There is no perfect firearm. Firearms are a tool that can fail for whatever reason. There's pros and cons to everything.This question is for those that have experience with lots of different kinds of firearms in their collection. I'll...

I appreciate the brick and mortar gun stores/pawn shops that still exist in this age of e-commerce. But, they need to do a better job of preventing gun thefts, so guns don't get into the wrong hands. There is way too much smash and grab. Gun stores need to put their guns away in a safe(s). Yes...

I used to listen to headphones/earbuds, but I don't anymore. You can't hear anything that's going on around you, especially using the closed back design. Therefore, I don't use headphones in public or at home anymore, I just listen to speakers. What do you or what have you changed in order to...

When shooting with both eyes open, is it possible for your dominant eye to switch to your non-dominant eye involuntarily or switch back and forth involuntarily? If it's possible, it could be devastating if in a gun fight. Thanks in advance.

Revolvers used to have the firing pin on the hammer. Why did manufacturers switch to non-hammer firing pins like traditional firing pins on semi-autos? Was it for reliability, cost, or what? Thanks in advance.

A few months ago a bunch of bad guys moved into a house next to me and my neighbor. These bad guys were trespassing on my and my neighbor's property. I did everything that was necessary, appropriate and legal to stop the trespassing on my property. I put a stop to it real fast. Unfortunately...

Given, the current prices and supply and demand, I think it might be a good time to get my first AR-15. I'm looking for the best bang for the buck. I want it to be as authentic/conventional to the design as possible. I'm thinking about a bushmaster QRC, Smith and Wesson M&P Sport II, Palmetto...

There's no denying police have a tough and dangerous job. Entering an unknown place always has it's dangers. But, no-knock warrants are dangerous to both home owner and police. If you are sleeping and the police break down your door, it's dark and you don't have the time to determine whether the...

Just wondering what the hole is for on the Zastava M92? Thanks in advance.

I'm an NRA member and believe this is the best organization/advocate that pro-gun people have. I trust they are doing everything they can to further our cause. But my questions are: 1) What exactly does the NRA stand for, historically and more importantly presently? 2) Are they for...

I've never been anti-gun, but I'm curious about those that used to be anti-gun. What situation, event, circumstance caused you to see the light? What happened that made you realize that it's a basic human right to defend yourself, family, loved ones and the innocent? If it's using a tool like a...

I like both, but is the hi-power an improvement over his 1911 design? Disregard the cartridge it's chambered for, 45acp vs 9mm. If the hi-power is a fundamentally better design, then why are the 1911's so popular? Almost every major manufacturer makes a 1911. Why is the hi-power not as...

I've only owned and carried semi-autos. I carry a semi-auto backup to my semi-auto. I'm thinking maybe a revolver would be a better backup to my main carry semi-auto. I don't want to replace my main semi-auto but possible backup replacement with a revolver. Therefore, my question is, are...

Given that the RKBA is a fundamental human right, are reasonable gun control laws an oxymoron? Are less laws better? Less strict laws better? Should certain felons be allowed to have guns, esp. if they have been rehabilitated? If you ruled the world, what gun laws would you govern your land...

I sometimes carry up to 3 guns at a time. There are times I think this is too many. Other times I think, oh there's room for one more. 1. At what point does carrying a certain number guns become a liability more than an asset? 2. How many do you carry at once? Thanks
