Came across this article today and wanted to share. Chris Johnson Reportedly Arrested: Latest Details, Updates and More Link to story Summary is he was stopped for rolling through a stop sign. He consented to a search, and the found firearm under a bag under the seat. He DOES has a...

As I begin thinking about my next firearm purchase, I wanted your input. I am looking at buying an AR-10. I can get an Armalite AR-10 carbine for just about 1200. Is this a good price? Is Armalite a good brand to go with? I'm looking for something rugged and that can stand up. Is there a...

Gentlemen, I am looking to finally pull the trigger and buy a Surefire X300. I want to mount it to either my Colt 6940 or Sig 226R (and if it's as good as I'm hoping, I'll probably get a second so I don't have to swap lights). When I mount it on the AR, does it matter which side of the...

Hey Guys, Quick question: A buddy of mine just got a new Mossberg 535 that he brought to the range today to do some clay work. It seemed about 2-3 times a round of 25, it would eject not only the spent shell, but also an unshot shell onto the ground. We were shooting 2 3/4 inch Federal...

Hello, I own a SIG P226 .40 and I am looking for some help with increasing the accuracy of my double action shots. When in single action, the pull is very light, and I can keep 5+ shots in 4" at 15 yards. Not great, but workable. However, the double action pull is long and hard, and I know I am...

Happy New Years! I have an 870 express with an 18.5" barrel and 2 shot extension. I plan to use this as a "camping/hiking" gun. It will spend a large portion of its life on my back, so I am looking for a sling that is very comfortable, but allows for quick access and is very rugged (can take a...

Hello Y'all and happy holidays and New Year. Florida hasn't traditionally been an open carry state. On the books, however, Florida statute 790.25 states 790.053 prohibits openly carrying a firearm. However, I believe if you are camping, fishing, or lawfully hunting, you may openly carry...

My 870 express had a failure to cycle after firing. It was the first time this occurred, and was after 350 shots. The forearm was locked forward after shooting. To clear it, I needed to pop the barrel off. This occurred 6 times in 150 shells. Twice, the shell wouldn't come out of the barrel and...

So you hear the bang in the middle of the night and you go to investigate. It could be anything from the dog running into something, or the significant other coming home late and it's dark, or an intruder. What's the convention wisdom on a gun light? I know they can be very handy in blinding...

Fellows, I am looking for some information on the M2 Browning Machine gun they have on top of HUMVEEs. I see that they are air cooled, but they have a maximum number of rounds that can be fired before "damaging the barrel." I assume that's because the barrel gets too hot. Anyone know how hot...

Guys, I need help selecting a gun safe. I am in the $300-$500 range. I understand this is definitely on the low side. I am willing to give up some fire protection for added steel. I definitely want a combination lock- I don't trust cheap electronics. I am looking to store 6 long-arms with...

I was surfing the Florida Firearm statues, something I do when I am bored, and I found an interesting contradiction. In a couple South Florida Counties, like Palm Beach County, there is a 5 day waiting period on ALL firearms(without CCW) including long guns. Now I read statue 790.33, and it...

Fellows, I am getting ready to purchase an 18.5" barrel for my Remington 870 Express. There are a variety of fixed chokes, any recommendations? It's a multipurpose camping/SD/HD setup. I've seen Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, and Full Chokes. Can you fire a slug out of a full choke? What's the...

Hello Guys, One of my good friends related this story to me that happened today, and I wanted to see what your response would have been. I post this in Strategies and Tactics because I feel it is a legitimate question on how to AVOID shooting, while protecting your property. This occurred in...

Hey guys, I am usually over on the rifle side of town, but I'm looking to getting into the shotgun side. I own a variety of rifles and handguns that I love, but I've only been skeet and trap shooting a couple of times, and that is the extent of my shotgun experience. Generally speaking, what...

I went to the range this morning with a female friend of mine who has never shot a gun before. I try to take a new person out each week when I make my weekly expedition out to the Lake City (Osceola) Florida public shooting range. I really like it out there- it's a free range; they have about 18...

When police/military are clearing a building, where do they keep their trigger finger? Do they have it in the trigger guard or resting out on the slide (a safter, but slower location)? Second, if they have a SA/DA gun, will they have the hammer back? Thanks, Numaone

Hey Guys, I'm standing in my local Wally world and noticed this federal champion .40 for 12.97 for 50. Is this deal too good to be true? It's 180 gr fmj fn. Great practice ammo? Is there anything wrong with this stuff that it's so cheap? Thanks

Is there a webpage calculator that can tell me the minimum height that my scope rings need to be for a given tube size and main objective size, and base cant? Barring that, can someone check my math? I have a 30mm tube with a 50mm main objective. That means that 50-30=20mm sticks out of the...

I am searching around for a scope for my Remington 700 SPS in a .308. I like the Bushnell Elite 6500 6.5-30X50. I can even get a good price on it <550. Anyone have experience good or bad? I know some of the complaints are about limited elevation travel, only 50 MOA. I see on some sites it's 50...
