We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :)
Please help by posting all issues here.
The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.
willing to take non-resident conceal carry permits by mail, instead of in person?
I live in Missouri, which honours Washington's permits, and my job will not allow me to openly carry a firearm even though i work at night and deal with all the drunks from the 3 bars that are within a 5 minute...
Some of the bills in the House and Senate right now only help out Conceal Carry permit holders, which is in and of itself a 2nd Amendment violation so I'll just list out the bill numbers with a link if those of you who want to ask your represenatives and senators to support a bill for a...
These three bills are as follows (since for some reason, we are only talking about SB680 and not the other two, I felt the need to showcase them as well), make sure to contact your senators and represenatives to encourage them to vote for these three bills!

The rest of the article is pretty damn good as well, and a bit of an eye opener. I have read theories about this from Massad Ayoob and others, but this is the first time I...
Seattle WA police seem to have an ace in the hole in their effort to stop the DOJ from forcing them to stop committing civil rights abuses in the form of a fellow Seattle police officer in the state legislature. That officer has crafted a bill that will make it illegal for the DOJ to force...
partly because there were 601,055 "isolated incidents" in 2010 alone.

I get so tired of the "isolated incident" argument about cops.

Lets hope that this bill goes through for all of you who live in the draconian state of Illinois

Now if only it would come into law, there might just be less instances of illegal police entry.
While I know that longgun talk isn't really okay here, there are a few handguns that also shoot shotgun shells. And I was wondering if the adapters in the below links are safe to use in them (handguns that can shoot shotgun sheels, as well as in normal shotguns)...

They delve into biometrics, basic gun locks that ship with your guns, trigger locks, and pretty much stick with low to mid-range cost on gun safes.
Information that you should really know about if you are using a gun lock/safe for more than just child protection.
I picked up my Ruger p95 at a gun show nearby and it was a simple experience, unless you count in the haggling time lol! About as easy as buying the sp2022 from a pawn shop. I, personally, would rather buy from a person... be it from a table or a store, than online. Much better in my opinion to...
Good job for the citizens who were able to help capture this BG! Especially glad since he was using a gun in order to intimidate and force the clerks to give him what he wanted.
Wonder if the burglar did in fact know who he was attempting to go after and if it was only a burglary that he had in mind, seeing as to who owned the home and that there were two police dogs there. Either way, good job for the officer, too bad it is unsure of if any of his shots landed.
I'm all for the property owner in this, though it seems that since the police are interviewing the guy he might have broken some sort of law? I thought the Castle Doctrine is absolute, that you are free assume a deadly threat from anyone in your home that is there by breaking in...

It seems that taser deaths are on the rise, which could be that officers are being pressured to use tasers more often or if there is not enough information done of the effects of tasers in...
