      The Nation's Gun Show, Chantilly VA 11/19-11/21

      Buying Longgun in VA from MD Just making sure. If I go to this gun show as a resident from MD, will I be able to purchase a longgun, like a mosin nagant or enfield, and bringit back to MD same day?

      Libz, it really is a coincidence. I didn't know about the legislation stuff before today. Melnic, that is something I haven't considered, how the officers who show up see the gun. My assumption is, they probably wont know the difference between a regular Single Action and a converted BP...

      smokey, No, I haven't talked to him about having a gun, but I have let on to him about the increasing frequency of the alerts that we get, so maybe he will warm up to the idea. And I already have the revolver. If I didn't, then I might think about pleading to him that I need a real handgun for...

      smokey, because I went behind his back to get it. He explicitly said he doesn't want me to have a gun here, since people could break in and steal it. He may warm up to me having one in the future, but for now, I cant tell him I have it. Yeah were getting the HQL this summer together, and Ill buy...

      Art, I do have a safe, which I keep it in when I am not home, otherwise, it is on my bed frame next to the wall. Yes, I saw some ballistic gel shooting from the .44 round ball, and its certainly lethal enough, and a plus is that I don't think it will over penetrate into the neighbor's fridge...

      BP Conversion Cylinder for Self Defense

      John, yes I know it is very dangerous, I wish I could have my AR here! but even then I wouldn't bring it. If someone breaks in while I'm not there, they could steal the gun, so it's best that the gun be expendable. Libz, no, they don't know that I have anything. I got the BP revolver because...

      BP Conversion Cylinder for Self Defense

      Boom, yes I have a steel frame 51 Navy in .44. These can handle 45 Schofield or 45 Long Colt, but I will certainly be careful when deciding what ammo to use. I already have the 51 Navy with me. I just want to convert from BP to cartridges. Art, that's what I was concerned about. Long story...

      Wendigo, Awesome! thank you. So just to clarify, if I need to use it, and I'm brought into court or whatever to defend my case, there wont be any repercussions against me that would not be there had I used a regular handgun? Inigoes, No I am currently at an apartment off campus, but soon will...

      BP Conversion Cylinder for Self Defense

      Guys, thanks for your suggestions, but I am sticking to the revolver. I would only like advice on whether or not it would be troublesome if I had to use it in self defense. Criteria for me having to use it include: My life is in danger, I know my life is in danger, my housemate's lives are in...

      BP Conversion Cylinder for Self Defense

      I am in college, and wanted something that I can protect my college house with. I come from a household with firearms that we have just in case, and we shoot often. Coming to college, I could not get comfortable with the idea that I would be unarmed if there was an intruder. The college is also...
