    FNP 45 Tactical With Osprey Suppressor

    This is my new favorite fun gun, but for concealed carry I wish I was three feet taller and weighed about 300 more pounds. Still, if you don't mind carrying it in a backpack, it makes a great EDC gun. Here's a link to my review...

    Carrying and Alcohol

    If you beat up somebody in self-defense or in defense of another after you've consumed alcohol, the issue is still whether your action was reasonably necessary for your defense or the defense of a third person. Even if you're drunk, you have a right to defend yourself. If you've been drinking...

    Virginia Emergency Weather Prep

    imported post Looks like you people in Virginia are going to get slammed. In preparing for possibly a few days of lockdown, we all know to stoke up the wood stove and stock up on food and water, but is there any additional preparation recommended regarding arms, besides what we do anyway? Any...

    Guns and Alcohol Don't Mix

    imported post I hope some might learn from the stupid mistakes of another, instead of from their own experience, so every now and then I like to relate this story. A few years ago I went out, as I am wont to do, and practiced presenting from the holster and putting a couple of rounds between...

    Why "TN resident" in online gun ads?

    imported post I check the Local Sales Network www.golsn.com frequently, and a lot of people who advertise their guns for sales, even private sales, say the buyer must prove he's a TN resident. Is there some restriction on selling guns to residents of other states?

    Deprivation of Liberty over Cellulose

    imported post http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/0821081books1.html This lady failed to return a couple of books to the library, so they arrested her. Cuffed her and took her downtown. Apparently, in this country, two books are worth more than the liberty of a human being. God...

    2A incorporation and Section 1983

    imported post For the NRA's law suits in Chicago and San Francisco to be successful, the federal courts will have to incorporate the 2A's constitutional guarantees via the due process clause of the 14th amendment. While the 2A as written is a limitation on federal power, incorporation would...

    OT: High rent district in or around the district

    imported post You VA boys might be able to help me here. I'm looking for a neighborhood in or around the District where you'll find the $10 million mansions. Like in Nashville, that'd be Belle Meade, where Gore's Inconvenient power-hog mansion lies.

    Dumb Rules at Wal-Mart

    imported post I went to buy an airsoft pistol with my 12-yr-old, and the clerk had to unlock the rack to get the pistol out. Then, while my son was standing right there with his hand out, the clerk handed it to me, saying he couldn't place it in his hands, but had to give it to me. Is that a...

    Poll Questions You'll Never See

    imported post Question: In light of the VA Tech tragedy, do you think you should be allowed to carry a firearm on your campus for self-defense? Answers: Yes. Criminals don't care if guns are "forbidden," and law-abiding citizens need to defend themselves against armed killers. No. I would...

    OC'd Today

    imported post I was just going from my home base to another property I own. I stopped by the store and bought some drinks and some ice. The people there know me well, didn't bat an eye. (The local paper's headline was about security at Tenn. Tech. Univ., in light of VA Tech -- that'll be...

    This is Fair Warning

    imported post This comes under the heading of "news," I suppose. I have three sons, but my first daughter was born Thursday. While most newborns look more like a frog that a "beautiful baby," I found that Elizabeth was an exception, and I'm giving fair warning to any child offenders out...

    Hi Cap Mags Banned after March 1??

    imported post An NRA recruiter told me that a licensed dealer in Algood, TN told him that today is the last day you can legally buy high capacity magazines. This is double hearsay to me (triple to you readers), but can anyone confirm or deny this?

    Taking Guns to Switzerland

    imported post I thought I saw a "travel" thread, but now I can't find it. In 2000, I moved my family to Switzerland for a year and took a handgun and a hunting rifle. I had more trouble getting the guns out of the US than I did getting them into Switzerland. I checked the rifle as...
