      Dear Abby gets letter from gun-hating mother

      This was in Dear Abby today (Sat., 12 October): Any opinions? What would YOU have said if you were Abby? What do you have to say to Abby?

      Eyewitness account from the Navy Yard shooting

      Remember that guy who shot up the Naval Yard a couple of weeks ago? I didn't know that a friend of mine from my Virginia days was at the Naval Yard working when it happened. It took him some time to gather his thoughts and put it down, but he's given me permission to pass this along. I thought...

      Need recommendation for single-action .22

      Went to the range this week with an older friend (a gent in his seventies). He had a 9mm Glock 19 and found it a bit much to handle. After talking with an instructor, and testing him with a few handguns, we've determined that a .22 is more his speed, and since semi auto is a bit of an issue...

      Best funeral monument ever

      This doesn't need any explanation, I imagine. I found it quite moving.

      CCW in city council meeting in Wash state

      Washington is supposed to be a very left-leaning state. So... then there's this. In the town of Oak Harbor, at a city council meeting, a veteran rises to talk about the second amendment, and mentions that he has a CCW permit, and is, in fact, carrying at that moment. A councilman makes a...

      Not mad before? Read this on Bengazi

      Stole this from another forum I live on. Interesting link here: Obama to nominate Army Gen. Rodriguez to lead AFRICOM (shakeup; flashback)

      What do I do about my dog?

      This kills me. I have a great dog. I love this guy. He's good, he's really smart (the behaviorist says he's one of the smarter dogs she's worked with), he's obedient (mostly), he's fun to play with and loves fetching balls, he likes to chase toys around the house, he doesn't bark (much) at...

      Got my dad's old gun back.

      In 1945, when dad came home from WW2, he had a Czech "Pistole modell 27" (now generally called a CZ-27). After Germany annexed Czechoslovakia, they took the CZ27 and turned it into the standard side arm of the police and much of the Wehrmacht. After my dad died in 1967, mom didn't want guns...

      +1 Bradis and Shooter!!

      Thanks for the great new toys yesterday! I'm really looking forward to getting that GSG 1911 and the Ruger Single Six out to the range! (Also, big thanks to Bradis II for a metric buttload of ammo, and a cool Bianchi holster for the 1911!) Tony

      1911 question

      Greetings to the good folks of Bradis! I've finally been bitten by the 1911 bug. Never thought it would happen, but there ya go. I'd REALLY like to get a .45 1911 that has a .22 conversion for plinking fun, and I understand Kimber has one. Do you have those around the store? I'd love to...

      Gunsmith near Franklin

      I live in Franklin, and I have a couple of OLD guns I'd like to have checked out by a gunsmith before I put ammo through 'em. Most important is a C96 broomhandle Mauser that was made in '33. It seem like the action may be a bit stiff, but I'd like to check it out first. Are there any...

      that revolver ad with the backwards cylinder

      Does anyone recall what thread had the picture of the revolver ad (I think from craigslist) that showed the cylinder held in place with something like a nail, and the cylinder was in backwards? I'd love to show that to someone, but my search-fu is weak and I can't find it. :( Tony

      Exercise time questions

      Okay, here's one. For those of you who run or jog -- do you carry? What do you carry at those times? Is it lighter/smaller than what you usually carry? How do you do so? And if you go to the gym -- then what? Gym lockers don't have real locks most of the time -- not that I'd trust, anyway...

      Those fired rounds in sealed envelopes...

      Hey, something I just thought of (again -- I keep forgetting to ask) as I was organizing the gun shelf. When I buy a pistol, included in the box of stuff is a fired round (or a fired cartridge, I really don't know which) in a sealed envelope signed over the seal by some guy. Do I need to...

      Home defense: what *kind* of gun?

      Someone was asking a question about which shottie to get for home protection, and that got me to thinking. I thought I should throw this question out to the great pool of wisdom that is INGO. What, in general terms, is the best thing to have for home protection? If you hear a bump in the...

      Bradis

      Dropped by for a wheel-gun today, walked out with three new toys, including a sweet little Nagant revolver that I'm gonna have a bear of a time finding ammo for. For (evil)Angie, Steve and the rest of the gang, thanks again for making me enjoy throwing my money at you. I swear, it's like...

      .38 vs .380 -- differences?

      This is an embarrassing question... but I have to admit that I don't really understand something about ammo. I've got 9mm and .22s here, but the question is on .38 ammo. Is there any difference between .38 and .380? The mathematician in me maintains that they're exactly the same thing, but...

      First Bradis visit

      I've been wanting to visit Bradis for some time (well, since I first joined the forum and heard about them). The reputation is true. Very friendly. Very helpful. VERY full of WONDERFUL toys. I went in looking for a Walther P99. Didn't get it, but I walked out with five new shooters...

      NICS and LtCH questions

      I'm applying for a License to Carry Handguns (getting the electronic fingerprinting done next week). I plan on picking up a gun before it all goes through, though, so I still have to deal with the NICS at the gunshop, I suppose. The first question: How long does a NICS check take? (I.e., will...

      Any thoughts on the PPK/S?

      Greetings, folks. I'm rather (okay, very) new here, and I'd like to get an opinion. I'm looking to get a few handguns down the line, but want to start with something that can do double duty as a general purpose handgun and an occasional concealed carry piece. I'm thinking about finally...
