It's common sense. Go fire both at a paper target within 25 yards and see how much more damage there is with a shotgun than with a rifle. To me, rifles are not very good close quarters weapons - a lot of them made to be shot out at 300 yards and further. Shotguns are not (sure, you could put...
I live in Baltimore. Things were really rough last night - they've since calmed down because of the National Guard presence (finally). Since we can't have guns here, I went grabbed a bat. I needed something to protect myself with. My building has good security, but people can climb...
Oh good lord that thing is beautiful. That's quite possibly the prettiest Glock I've ever seen. Must hurt when you'd have to fork over $2000 for it. :)
...exactly the right way for another Katrina-like lawless situation to happen again. I'd LIKE to think that the government learned from that clusterf*ck but you never know... I remember that the response for Isaac was excellent. There were police everywhere and I never felt unsafe - my guns...
Police buyback maybe? You can get beat up looking 870s that maybe only have 100 rounds through them because cops only take them in and out of the car a lot, but not train with them a lot.
WildBill, luckily, I'm still a Louisiana citizen. I'm just here for college, but I have no idea where my chosen career path will take me after that. It may take me to Texas, but maybe even California, you never know!
Thank you for sharing this. This is incredibly important for people to see. I live in Baltimore right now and from what I've heard, getting a CHP here (unless you're a lawyer, doctor, politician, celebrity, or otherwise someone high profile that people are going to recognize and want to go out...
To all that say that I should shoot long guns right handed because of my right-eye-dominance (despite being naturally left handed), I was taught from the beginning to shoot long guns right handed, so it's all good. Just for some reason, I wasn't taught to shoot a pistol right handed as well. I'm...
I don't turn 21 for another 8 months, but I'm thinking Glock 19 at this point. The 686 frame felt a little bit big for my hand, but then again I really don't know if my grip was totally correct.
Well, I finally shot my first handgun today. Started with a Ruger Mk III, then moved to a 686 plus (shooting .38 specials of course), and then moved to a glock 17. As I expected, all of these rental guns were filthy, but the only one that had a malfunction was the Ruger (looked like a failure to...
Does anyone know what the laws are regarding carrying in a national monument? Is the land that, say, the Lincoln Memorial sits on National Park land, and therefore is subject to the Park's rules regarding carrying?
Honestly, I have no idea. I was around 10 or 11 when he taught me, so I don't really remember if he knew or not. If I was betting man, I'd say that he didn't. I do remember that he taught me with a right handed, semi-auto youth model Remington 20 gauge, interestingly enough. I still have the...
