Ever notice how gun law proposals are about restrictions and few to none of them offer incentives to gun owners to increase or improve gun safety knowledge? Has anyone seen any proposed tax incentives for gun owners to take additional safety courses? Imagine being able to deduct a firearms...

I run with my dog. We do 20-40 miles a week. Most of where we run is fine. Some places are sketchy though. A 15-26 mile run with a gun is completely impractical, especially during the summer. Besides self defense, I also am considering defense of my dog because others around here cannot find...

My wife and I were talking about how we've seen a pretty marked increase in NDs reported in the last few weeks. A 3-year-old was shot last evening with a gun that was supposedly going to be cleaned or being cleaned (unclear yet). We were wondering aloud whether it's that the news is...

Those who saw this thread a couple weeks ago may be interested: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=696587 ---- I sent the Security Six back to Ruger for a repair and check out. Got it back today and they adjusted the crane, replaced the ejector rod and did a safety function check...

Today Ruger sent me back my Security Six after some repair/tuning. I sent it to them in a UPS Express box via next day air. It arrived without incident. They got it back to me in about a week. They shipped it 2nd Day Air and my driver just dropped it off. When he had me signed for...

Hoping some who are FFLs might weigh in: I purchased a gun via GunBroker. Paid, etc.. I contacted my local FFL and they said they would send the FFL to the seller. I know they're busy these days (or so I'm told :) ) I know there is something about how they have 24 hours to enter their...

I couldn't find another forum where this was suited to. Please feel free to move as warranted. I was wondering if anyone had ever tried a Magic Eraser on their gun? Specifically to remove pitting/minor rust on a blued gun. Any problems with removing blue finish? Also, has anyone tried...

I listened to an interview with Dr. Suzanna Hupp today on NPR. She was one of their "voices of the gun debate." http://hereandnow.wbur.org/2013/01/22/suzanna-hupp-guns I thought the interview was very fair and objective. Was it emotional? Yes. Want to know why? Because Dr. Hupp's...

I don't live in California. I'm in Missouri. I've looked and can't find any info specific to this being illegal in my state, but can't find anything specific under federal law. Is it okay to purchase two handguns from ffl dealers in my home state within 30 days? Two separate nics checks...

My local Cabelas in Kansas City, KS has no .308 Win. What am I missing here? It's expensive. Not really plinking ammo. How is it endangered? On the other hand, folks nearby should note this Cabelas has plenty of 9mm. As for me; I'm switching to air rifles for a while. Plenty of good...

I had my first range visit with my new-to-me Ruger Security Six. The gun was accurate as I could be with it. Felt great. Of the 50 rounds I put through it I was 98% pleased. I had one small problem with it. After the first couple cylinder's full I noted a problem cycling the action on a...

Just a reminder that while, yes, we should always be extremely careful, now is a particularly high-profile time. With all the scrutiny on gun owners, and more importantly at a time when we are demonstrating that gun owners and CCW permit holders are responsible, law abiding people who have a...

I've been looking for M36s for a while. Saw some on GunBroker but nothing jumped out just yet. So today I went to Cabelas nearby just to check their stock. They have a pretty beat up M36 for around $450. But right next to it was a pristine Ruger Security Six 4" BBL. This thing is...

I'm looking to pick up a Model 36 or Chief's Special. Primarily for CCW. This would be my first revolver purchase. (I'm open to the idea of a 586 also.) So far I've strictly been about semi-auto pistols, Sigs, FNH, Ruger. I just really like the look of the 36 and they remind me of the old...

So the other day I was at the range. I was standing in line and as I did I smelled alcohol. Not rubbing alcohol, booze. (I know there are some physical conditions that can mask as the smell of alcohol on the breath.) but these are rare, at least more rare than someone who's been drinking. I...

Interesting. Sounds like they're trying to turn up the heat. Here's the article

Hello all. I've got a Sig P220. I love it. I have added a set of Hogue grips and today at the range one of the grip screws came out. I put it back and tonight while I was cleaning it I noticed that all the Hogue (allen head) grip screws were a bit loose. So, I was wondering if it would be...

Many here seem to be fixated on turning these mass-shooting tragedies into political issues. My question is simple. Why not admit to the truth and be honest: that this kind of violence doesn't correlate to a particular party in power. Before you try to make this about politics, I suggest...

I was wondering if anyone would care to take a look at my targets from today and tell me what you think I need to take some serious looks at. I'd really appreciate any feedback as this is only the third time I've shot a handgun and it's a little discouraging to be all over the map (or should I...

This question might belong in Legal as much as tactics, but I'll start here and ask the moderators to make that decision as they see fit. First a little background. I live in one of Missouri's biggest cities. This week we again had an incident of bounty hunters enter a home that their...
