Haven't been here for a while, but it certainly looks like people have their ear to the ground on the recent 2A happenings. That's a good thing. Even better is that this is just one state gun forum, imagine the combined activity (and activism) on all state forums combined with national forums...
I just got an email link to this video. Never heard of it before now, very interesting and very pertinent to what's going on in this state right now...IMO.

Sorry if this is a repeat post on this topic. I was driving along in my car the other day listening to NPR on the radio. They were discussing the gun control debate in the wake of the recent elementary school shooting. But they wouldn't refer to the traditional gun control groups as what they...
Not sure if this one has already been posted, if so sorry for repeat post. "Does the Second Amendment give individuals the right to bear arms?" So far 97% say yes, 2% say no and 1% undecided, with a whopping 3,765,751 votes (almost 4 million!) :party29...
IMO the 9mm would be a better choice. Ammo is cheaper allowing abundant practice, obviously the most critical element for developing proficiency. And the 9mm is a world proven capable manstopper, especially out of a carbine (like the Hi-Point) which has a longer barrel than a pistol. The longer...
Winchester white box FMJ's. It'll poke holes in stuff. Leather jackets, denim or collarbones are not a problem. Simple, cheap and the same kind I target shoot with. So if I ever needed the pistol for self defense, the gun will behave exactly as it does at the range - increasing odds of accuracy...
You're right, but I thought I'd offer the complete high cap mag legal issue as I had to learn it prior to getting my own high cap mags (I've been in the OP's exact situation before). Dullyjams may be in a situation where he is weighing his options prior to purchasing high cap mags "abroad" and...
The cited law is Maryland state law. It is only applicable in Maryland (although certain other states have similar laws). But what it means is that you (i.e. a non-FFL dealer) cannot receive, sell or transfer high capacity mags to anyone else who is also a non-dealer while within the state of...
The news report video indicated that the guy that was shot was trying to get up when the pharmacist plugged him in the stomach. The pharmacist also did not secure the perp's weapon after he went down and immediately went out in pursuit of the other guy, so it is not completely inconceivable that...
Rodrick's thoughts and attitude on this are so over the top, I almost suspect he's deliberately goading his readers by showing comtempt for them. He's a troll, look at what he writes, all the while knowing there are thousands reading what he says that vehemently disagree. I've seen this on MSNBC...
Hughmon I agree with your assessment concerning having more guns with varying calibers. I used to be of the thought that I wanted to keep my collection to only a few common calibers; only 9mm, 308, 223, 22, 12g and 7.62x39 for me. But what I've learned about ammunition is that, like vegetables...
Custer was largely outgunned from attacking Indians due to their use of Winchester repeaters (vs the single shot rifles issued to US Army at that time). The Winchester repeater was the "spray from the hip assault rifle" of that time. Considering that many on the left think it was perfectly...
I'm surprised to read that the maximum percentage in favor of a handgun ban was measured in 1959 (60%!). And since then has trended strongly downward, even during the late 60's when the progressive/liberal movement really took off in the US. 1959 was the Eisenhower era, people still had morals...
Wow, Mr Rockricks has really come up with a new one with this "analysis":
"Absent leadership that would promulgate greater control of guns, we fear mass killings will continue. So, the thinking goes, maybe it's best to be prepared - have a gun handy, just in case the madman comes to your...
Obama's minions are probably putting them up to it, I'm sure they have a secret quid pro quo going on over this. It's a win-win situation for both parties concerned. Obama and company want us to believe the guns came from here so they can use it as yet another excuse to start grabbing guns (as...
The 357sig is a modern (western) high velocity, "bottleneck" cartridge that is similar to 7.62x25; not only in its design but ballistically as well. IIRC the 357sig doesn't quite have the ass of the 7.62x25, but it is comparable.
What we need are CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTARIANS. The so called "conservatives" are a part of the problem, and in the last 10 years or so have been almost as much a threat to freedom and liberty as the democrats. We need a general rollback in governmental size and powers. Libertarians offer this. If...
I have the opportunity to pick up a few Brownell 30 round AR mags. I might also be able to score some Bushmaster 30 round mags as well. Is Brownell any good? What about Bushmaster? Which of the two would you choose?
