    Gun Snobs lighten up!

    Yes I have many times in many things, including martial arts, weapons and tactics, rock/blues guitar, software engineering, physics and mathematics. It is not the same thing at all, one thing that a successful teacher needs to ascertain is whether their student has the desire to achieve their...

    Gun Snobs lighten up!

    What happened was unfortunate, however, lets look at it from another angle. How many people here would "give up" something they wholeheartedly embraced because someone disparaged them or their equipment (which is the least thing you should worry about)? Lets be serious here for a moment, I've...

    What's the next step?

    With Alito stating several times in the Majority opinion that the ownership of firearms is a fundamental right, I don't see rational basis even being on the table. I might be wrong, but it would be a first.

    Fun Discussion: Outfit the Continental Army

    Well there's suspension of disbelief, and then there's suspension of disbelief :D It just reminded me of some TV show I saw some time ago where people were asked if they could go back in time to meet any historical figure they wanted to what would they take, and someone said Moses, and they'd...

    Fun Discussion: Outfit the Continental Army

    Erm without the constellation of satellites a GPS unit is a paperweight. Or is the intent to take the constellation and launch vehicles with you and launch that constellation for the GPS to function too?

    What does your permit allow you to carry?

    What stevelyn is alluding to is we don't need no stinking permit in AK, its a right not a privilege. If you can conceal it you can conceal carry it. If you legally own it (NFA) you can carry it concealed or otherwise.

    NICS appeal frustration

    Shutterbug, this may not be a false denial. An H-1B is a non-immigrant temporary worker in a specialty occupation. Even though it's recognized as dual-intent it is still a non-immigrant visa, dual-intent just means you can apply for an immigrant visa while your current visa is valid and during...

    Registration helps solve crimes?

    LOL... Sure how would a felon register a firearm without self-incrimination? It's illegal for him to own a firearm in the first place, so any penalty that could theoretically be levied to ensure registration could not be applied to a felon for owning an "unregistered" firearm. Sorry misquoted...

    Registration helps solve crimes?

    Actually the very people statistically most likely to commit crimes (felons) would be constitutionally protected against registration by the 5th Amendment (see Hayes vs. US). So registration could only be achieved by requiring the person selling to register the sale and who the transferee was.

    NICS appeal frustration

    Well the information that is given for a NICS result is purely proceed, delay or deny. Why deny came back for the OP is not known, it could be that ICE came back with something that is not known to the OP. The FBI not having them on file is highly unusual, since the FBI is used to screen all...

    NICS appeal frustration

    All firearms purchased from an FFL are require the purchaser to undergo a NICS check, this can be waived if the purchaser holds a current valid concealed carry license for that state, and that state performs an FBI background check to issue the license. So purchasing a rifle will not improve...

    Does this guy really need a gun? Really?

    I think the issue with the OP is simple. How many times have we all heard that there is no need for: - Concealed carry Semi Automatic rifles Open carry add your own issue here... So when we see a title as was given, we naturally, respond to it like a pork chop in a synagogue. I'll be...

    What's the difference between a RIGHT & a PRIVILEGE to bear arms?

    Sure you can, before I naturalized I had a state issued drivers license. I had it when I was on a temporary work visa, before I had one when I had a Green Card. You can't be a citizen of Mississippi without being a citizen of the US. 14th Amendment Citizenship clause

    Are You Comfortable With Face To Face Transactioins?

    I'm sure you have, did you include your constraints on selling when you advertised those firearms? If not then it proves nothing, only that the inconvenience and additional expense were less of an inconvenience than being a deal breaker. Personally if I had to go to an FFL to get a transfer on a...

    Are You Comfortable With Face To Face Transactioins?

    No, however, if the seller wishes to sell something then the buyer has to be prepared to abide by the sellers conditions and may well request additional conditions on the sale, should the seller not be upfront about the conditions he requires for the sale to proceed. I certainly wouldn't buy...

    Headed to Alaska with all of my guns and ammo

    We did this last year, large bulk transfer, FFL to FFL handguns and long guns. Came to around $100/gun UPS (total cost about $2500 including FFL fees). Careful what you bring through the Canadian border, for instance we have the extended mag tubes on our 870's and they are prohibited in Canada...

    Times are changin' - why are we so afraid of the Brady Bunch?

    I said it before and I'll say it again Navy, conditioning, we're conditioned to just accept that Lautenberg, Hughes, both GCA's and NFA are carved in stone. How do we know this, well because of all the derisory comments made about the Firearms Freedom Acts being passed by multiple states that...

    Times are changin' - why are we so afraid of the Brady Bunch?

    And within 5 posts I prove my point of why I'm just as afraid of the gun lovin' community as the Brady Bunch. There are none so blind as those that cannot see.

    Times are changin' - why are we so afraid of the Brady Bunch?

    Simple we're conditioned. Let's look at some things that are common beliefs that recur on this forum OC is dangerous, and damages our cause No one needs fully automatic Felons and domestic violence suspects have relinquished their RKBA Concealed carry licenses are not an infringement (or...

    Brandishing part deux

    Similar situation as the OP. Live in the boonies in AK, it takes about a mile of trail to get to my place, so someone has to be committed. If I could call the police (no local phone lines, no cell coverage either) then they'd be here in oh around about 4-5 hours during the summer (a couple of...
