legal

Hey, new user here and was looking for some clarification. I currently have a handgun at an FFL, that I guess doesn't ship many handguns because they don't want to do any of the paperwork to ship my handgun to another FFL. Meaning they want me to print/pay for the USPS shipping label and give...

Hey all, so last week I ordered a Ruger 10/22 and the FFL I sent it to had to ship it back Becuase a part of it wasn’t legal here in NY. The stupid thing about all of this is they didn’t even include it in the description of it. What was illegal is that it came with a threaded barrel. Obviously...

So recently ive been looking at property in texas and have been seeing that alot of people down there put up ranges on their property without much issue. The only big factor i see is with neighbors and the sound of gunshot. With it being texas i know alot of people down there are gun nuts as...

I hope this is the right forum for this question. If it is not, forgive me in advance. So Washington State recently enacted a law which states, I believe, that firearm owners must have their guns locked up while they are not in use. I own three safes and comply fully with this law. However, I...

Greetings everyone! I have a rifle I’d like to sell to Kittery trading post, does anyone have any experience doing so? What sort of paperwork is involved? And is it worth the hassle? Thanks

I just read John Ross's Unintended Consequences again, for either the fourth or fifth time and today, more than ever, it seems that it is a reminder of what has happened since 1934 and what is happening now. Now, with the new laws being passed, we are faced with gun restrictions never before...

National Review April 16, 2018 has an excellent article about Professor Joyce Lee Malcolm, "The 'Nice Girl' who saved the Second Amendment". It recalls her scholarship on the English Bill of Rights of 1689 which granted Protestants the right to have arms for their defense. (during the English...

Hello everyone, please excuse my newness to the forum. I've been browsing and reading articles for years and decided to join to ask a few questions. The foremost one on my mind is if I am ordering a handgun that is out of state (in this case, from a seller on Gun Broker), can I do so before my...

I live in Florida and I'd like to buy a Barrett m107A1 50BMG but I've read that the M107A1 is only for military and there is only the m82 for civilians. Is it true? Thank you

Greetings all, first post! I am interested in shortening my Browning A5, but am having a hard time nailing down precise definitions. What I currently have is a 20-something inch barrel and a shoulder stock. I plan to shorten the barrel to less than 18", but overall length will exceed 26" (the...

Hey all, Brian Zins here, 12 Time NRA National Pistol Champion and Top Shot All Star guy, I've taken over as Director of Training at Point Blank Range in Matthews, NC, that's just south of Charlotte. I know most all of you had read his stuff, maybe met him or have taken some of his classes...

I had a thought the other day that I haven't been able to work out a straight answer for. Let me first make some points: 1. If a person makes a short barreled rifle without ATF paperwork, that is illegal. 2. A black powder firearm would be exempt from this rule. Here's where my question comes...

If you had to pick a single 2A-related media piece as your favorite (ex: an article, video, book, recorded audio, etc.), what would it be? WHY? (please post links!) Mine is Daniel Payne's article, "Sorry, But Owning A Gun Is An Individual Right" As we all already know, many "civil rights"...

Howdy all, I just registered here in order to try to get an answer for something that's been on my mind for a couple months, I really hope I got this post right; I currently possess multiple legal semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, and a SW model 29, yet these firearms are not in my name...

I am very interested in this topic. I have been CC in church for years. Our previous pastor gave written permission to anyone that asked. But he only stated that he acknowledged our legal right to carry with a CPL and permission. I am trying to figure out how critical the wording of...
