      Buy my son a Shotgun

      Too young for a shotgun From having kids and knowing some about child development, I would advise against a shotgun for a 7 year old. The shotgun needs a fair amount of physical strength, dexterity, and quick thinking to be both effective and safe. I'm not saying no 7 year old can effectively...

      Tracking Point Rifles -- Cheating?

      It would be good to know how many animals are wounded or otherwise not recovered because of poor shots. Perhaps this technology could do good. When I found out about the Tracking Point rifles, the first thing I wondered is how this may impact law enforcement snipers in the future. Combine...

      IL Lawmaker Goes Ballistic

      Curious comment about consideration of the constitutionality of a bill being "nonsense," with the implication that no one but the supreme court can actually understand the constitution. I believe Frosh's behavior in the senate committee with SB281 was very similar. Tom

      Basic tool set

      +1 for good screwdrivers. Bits that fit, specifically. A perfectly fitting screw driver bit really does make a world of difference. Tom

      African Hunt - Suggestions?

      Thanks for the replies -- the consensus seems to be at least a 375 for dangerous game. (I imagine a 30-06 could take care of anything else.) As I was checking out a couple of the safari services, I noticed that vervet monkeys are listed as game animals. I wondered, why would anyone want to...

      African Hunt - Suggestions?

      Happy Monday! I'm 44 and my son is 7. As soon as he is old enough for a serious hunt, I want the two of us to go on a hunt in Africa. On the top of my wish list is a cape buffalo. (I'm not much interested in the other dangerous game.) However, I would still be happy to hunt other game...

      Chiappa Rhino revolver

      I got a 200DS from 2A. It's currently waiting for the MSP paperwork to clear. I have not fired one, but I did handle the one. It felt pretty comfortable, though it seemed easy for my left hand to creep forward of the cylinder. Hopefully I won't burn my fingers off when I finally get it to a...

      Winchester model 70, pre 64; help it get home

      On March 7, 2013, a burglar, who had apparently been casing my home, broke in and stole a C&R Winchester model 70, pre '64, serial 14002. The rifle is stamped 375 magnum and is a nice big game rifle. Both the local police and the ATF have been notified and are actively trying to recover the...

      Gabby Giffords wants better background checks

      Happy Thursday! http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/03/07/us-usa-guns-giffords-idUSBRE92600P20130307 What number can I call to do a NICS check for a private sale? And, why don't some states (like Maryland) participate in contributing information to NICS...

      Poorer Marksmen in States with Tough Gun Laws

      I think this is the Fleegler quoted in the news: http://specialists.childrenshospital.org/Default.asp?pageID=PHY002090 However, I can't seem to find a link to any published (or pre-publication) research. Can anyone find a link or reference to the actual study? I'd like to read the details on...

      Poorer Marksmen in States with Tough Gun Laws

      Happy Thursday! From USA Today: "Study: States with more gun laws have less gun violence" http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/03/07/gun-violence-study-chicago/1969227/ Because pediatricians from Chicago know what's best. The study is on mortality. What about violent...
