SigFan: One time, I was pulled over and had a 4'' folding pocketknife on my person... He felt it wasn't worth hitting some stupid 17yr. old with a charge that would ruin him the rest of his life. They realize too that the law is completely screwed up at times. Gosh, that's a neat story, but one ane...

Let me say without qualm that the some of you that poo-poo or belittle what its going on here better think twice. Just look to history and find out the fate of those that rested on "nothing is happening here" or "that can't ever happen here". All that the nut-cases like myself h...

... Look. They're not going to do house to house searches. You know how much that would cost? And on top of that, searching EVERY house, for at least an hour would chew up so much man time that it would be freaking impossible. We have nothing to worry about. The State Police aren't all baby-kicking...

Where to shoot on a Saturday morning?

I woke up bright and early. Just after the baby had breakfast, just before his nap. I was going to sneak out for a few hours and cycle 200 rounds or so through my new SIG. Decided to call Chris' first. Not open until 1PM. Crap. OK, I can do Bridgeport. A bit farther, but not bad. Nope. 1PM as well. ...

Yes. It will be valid everywhere. Individual state's laws will still be in effect though. You will have to research yourself to death to make sure you don't break laws you aren't familiar with when traveling. Ain't it great to live in a "free" country..? Still the freest there is, my frie...

Obviously the prosecutor should use some discretion in establishing intent. He wasn't there to commit a crime, sell weapons, etc. But it's still illegal for him to have a firearm in the cab in NYC. Even bad laws are laws. Give him a slap on the wrist. A $50 fine and tell him not to do it again. That...

Keep in mind that most of the time it matters very little what the law says and far more what the cops THINK the law says. As others have indicated, yes, it's legal. And no, this does not prevent the cops from slapping you with disturbing the peace if they feel like it. I personally see no advantage...

All of which would be a non-issue if NHPD would stop whining about their hurt feelings, get off their asses, and do they job they are paid to do. 16 layoffs. 16 layoffs and they all abandon their posts to mach on city hall. I never thought I would miss the relative professionalism of the Chicago Pol...

This is my main problem with gun control advocates. They are essentially telling you that you should jeopardize your own safety to satisfy their political ideals. Yes, it's a long shot that my life or the safety of my family will be endangered by an intruder. But if it does happen there is little co...

Has anybody done any fact checking on this? I have no more reason to doubt (or believe) this than anything else I read on the internet and I like to know what I'm talking about before passing things on. No judgment on my part. I just like to know what I'm forwarding. :D EDIT: Just a follow-up, I kno...

No doubt about it. Nothing wrong with CTguntalk, but there's just a friendlier vibe around here. Thanks in general to all for the good advice and warm reception.

CT Guntalk or CT Shooting?

So I was turned onto ctguntalk.com by a member here. It seems like a lot of the same people post, but a few more. On the plus side, it is a lot more active. On the minus side, it doesn't have the same friendly vibe that we have here. In fact, at times it seems downright hostile. Anybody else feel si...

In the "your account" section of the forum, what does it mean when it says you have so xx amount of points? Do you do anything with them? If you save up enough of them you can trade them in at the prize counter for knock-off Simpson's merchandise or one of these wacky wall walkers. http:/...
