I just read through my Facebook where a gun shop in Gas City Indiana (In-laws & Outlaws) is expected to open a new indoor shooting range located in Gas City, Indiana (Grant Co.) in hopefully as soon as June. It sounds so far like they will offer memberships, but also be open to the public...
That article was worth a bit of a laugh, but anyone who has been through even a High School level physics class could see some MAJOR problems with the whole idea. There are just too many conflicts with the "Laws" of physics to even get the bullet out of the barrel at anything close to the...
I won't be judge to the man for taking his own life, whether it's the man in the obituary or not, that's between him and his beliefs. But, I will admit that I am self centered enough to be "Angry" at him for doing this act at a place I go for enjoyment and relaxation. Not to mention the long...

Another vote for a spare bedroom in the house, or some space inside. Sometimes I kind of wonder about having all those explosives in the house in case of fire, but frankly they probably wouldn't do any better in the garage either. (Fantasy time)... it would be nice to have a separate...
I'll throw in another vote for the Savage Axis, but with a caveat or two. For the money the Axis is one of the most accurate rifles out there. I've read several threads on the Savage Forum where target shooters are buying Axis for the receiver, because it's very strong and very stiff. Also...
I keep between 500 to 1500 .22LR rounds on hand, depending how much I've been shooting. Same as I did before the nutcase, same as I will after the nutcase.
Paranoia and Politics be damned...
It's my understanding that it's the compounds in the primers that is the "corrosive" aspect of the ammunition, not the gun powder residue like a Black Powder Firearm would have. But, either way as others have said it is a salt like compound that forms that is the problem. I've had an old M44...
Personally even though I have a fairly nice digital scale that has (so far) never done me wrong, I keep a cheap little Lee balance beam scale as a backup to check my digital. The Lee has its limitations, and takes a bit of patients to learn to read, but is surprisingly accurate and keeps my...
Meh... Don't sweat it on my account. Note the smiley face at the end of my comment. There are some morons that get into reloading, just as there are morons that get into just about everything else. But, reloading seems to weed them out one way or another pretty quick. They either get...
"Not like it's some moron loading stuff by hand in his basement. It is quality"...
OUCH... That's stepping on some toes there in ammunition/RELOADING forum. Granted there are some "Morons" out there, but I guarantee they don't stay, or last very long in metallic cartridge reloading. :)
I may be going out on a bit of a limb here, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear more stories like this come along, and more and more people selling firearms at relativity good prices to people they know who are "Firearms Enthusiasts"
The reason I say this is, I personally know of at...
I finally after months of delays got to take my new left handed Savage Axis bolt action rifle to the range for some shake down shooting. Sadly everything you've ever read about the trigger is true... it's horrible. I'll be doing some custom work on it ASAP. Also sadly everything you've ever...
I've been blind in my right eye since I was around five years old, so eye dominance was never a question for me. I shoot a handgun right handed primarily, but I've also learned to shoot handguns left handed as well (I'm naturally right handed). Of course I shoot a rifle left handed...
I agree totally... Paranoia and Politics be Damned. I'll shoot my ammo and enjoy my firearms. I save enough back for defense of life and property, but I don't need thousands of rounds to do so. If I can't solve a problem within 20 rounds, I won't solve it with 20,000 rounds. In that case I...
I've been blind in my right eye since the age of five (rare parasitic infection) and I've been shooting since about age eight. Strangely I lost the entire eye to a tumor last year... In some ways I think being blind in one eye helped make me a better shot, at least as far as rifles and pistols...
Yeah, my wife says they need to make an aftershave that smells like Hoppe's #9. When the house smells like Hoppe's that means there has been some fun had in the last few days. A lot of good memories brought back by that smell. :)
Yeah, I'll admit I get it, but I don't understand it. The last nice weather we had I said to my wife "we should go to the range today", and she said "it's a nice day, and with all the ammo and guns being bought up lately that place will be packed"... So, we changed our plans, but happened to...
