I am going to spend Thanksgiving with my daughter and her family in Northern Illinois. It is my understanding that I can carry while driving, however, must leave the firearm in the vehicle if I exit it for any reason. Am I correct in my thinking?
I received this email this afternoon and feel that I should pass it along to you. Please read and set your course of action.
I personally would like to see Indiana Legislators do more to protect any Indiana ammunition or gun manufacturers we may have in the state.
Disturbing and dark...
Over the last couple of days I have been trying to respond to a couple of different threads and post a new thread without success. When I hit the send key I get a message that says: The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters."
My GF and I are making a trip to the State Fair on 08/03 and returning on 08/06. I will be going from Michigan City to Indy probably via I65, however the return can be by most any route. While in Indy and on the way home on Monday, I would like to stop at a few really nice gun shops along the...
I have put my name on a WASR 10 at Dunham's Sports in LaPorte and was planning on picking it up early this week. It appears to be a good deal at $449.00. In the meantime, while doing some research, I have found numerous complaints on a couple of other forums regarding magazine fit and feed...
Today I got stopped for doing 52 in a 35 mph zone in Michigan City. It is in an area on Route 12 where the speed limit changes from 35 to 45 to 55 in a relatively short distance. Anyway, I passed this slow truck on the right that would not move to the right lane. The next thing I know there...
I have been thinking about the scenario if I was ever involved in a self defense shooting. And with all of the discussions as to how to respond to the police, etc at the scene, I have become a bit paranoid as to how a victim may be treated by law enforcement, and subsequently the State's...
I have started doing some research and am considering building an AR-10 sniper rifle in .308. In researching this weapon, I find reference to numerous calibers such as .308, 7.62 NATO, 7.62x39, 7.62x51, and 7.62x54r. What is the difference in these 7.62 calibers and will they all fit the .308...
I have a suggestion. When I click on "New Posts" and then a specific topic, there is an option to "View First Unread". However, if I click on Q Links and then "Today's Posts" it appears that option is not available.
Is that a technical problem, or can "View First Unread" option be included...
First of all, Mods, if I put this under the wrong category, feel free to move it to the correct one.
Now for the topic. I have a couple of scopes on my long guns, and they apprear to work just fine. I have seen a lot of reference to red dots and magnifiers. What are the differences in...
I spend a great deal of time daily on this site, but find one thing quite annoying. It appears that there is an automatic timeout set at about 10-15 minutes. I may be in a post which has a video or refers to another site and when I return, I find myself logged out by the system.
Is there...
Today I purchased a Laser Boresighter for my M&P 15 AR. I removed the magazine, I placed the boresighter in the chamber and sighted it. When I tried to pull the charger handle back to eject it, the charger handle would only move about 1/4" to 1/2". First I tried ejecting like a failure to...
I need to change the charging handle on my AR. I need to have the capability of pulling the handle from either side. I can't pull it from the top as my scope is about 1" above and 2" behind the standard handle. I have been doing some research on an ambidextrous handle and it appears that the...
I was having dinner with a friend the other evening and he related an incident that he had going through the TSA checkin for a flight. The person in front of him had a handgun in his carry on and he presented a permit of some sort (allegedly a federal firearms permit). When questioned about...
On 12/05 I sent S&W the slide from my M&P 9c, as the front night sight had fallen out, I presume at a recent defensive shooting class. I also sent them a magazine for my M&P 45c which would hold only 7 of 8 rounds.
Well, let me tell you, I'm impressed!! My package arrived back today with...
I recently noted a change in my "reputation" and wondered what it meant. I tried a search, but that didn't come up with anything useful, so I thought that I would ask?
1) Who adds "reputations" to our name?
2) What do they mean?
3) Is there a scale that is written somewhere?
4) What affects...
I just bought an M&P-15 last night, and already I'm looking to spend more money to accessorize it. The 30 rd magazine is stamped 5.56x45. My questions are as follows:
1) Is the 5.56rd basically the same as the .223 rd and can I use either ammo in a magazine marked 5.56 OR .223?
2) Which round...
I recently purchased a new M&P 45c with 2 magazines. They are the standard 8 round mags. However, I have found with both of them that I can only load 7 rounds into each one. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you solve it?
I did take the mag apart and it appears that I could just...
Well, I finally made the magic 50. However, I have nothing to sell, trade or buy at the moment. So there was no ulterior motive to reach this point. BUT, I'm pleased that I made it.
I hope that I am posting this question in the correct forum. Being relatively new here, I have been reading a lot of threads. I sometimes notice after getting into the thread, especially with events that have occurred, that it turns out to be very old. Example: The Prayer chain post. Am I...
