Bought a Colt King Cobra (slightly used) for $600... awesome gun. Locks up tight, accurate, and heavy to absorb recoil from fire. Modern revolvers aren't as alluring... also, they're built to cut costs in terms of components and manufacturing difficulties. Caveat emptor.

Even guns where they have a "de-cocker" aren't guaranteed safe. I know a certain someone who discharged a 92FS into their wall because they loaded it with real bullets for a function check after cleaning... Why? I don't know. But luckily the ND went into a brick wall, and no one called the cops.

I agree Frank, especially if you clear the firearm pointing in a safe direction. There is no reason a gun need be pointed at you or someone you care about during cleaning.

Sigh...

How goddamned hard can it be to drop the magazine, rack the slide (several times), and visually inspect the chamber? If you shoot yourself, you're a friggin idiot.

Friend of mine wants to go skeet shooting... what's a good shot/choke combo for a Mossy 500?

Apparently, if airports want, they can tell the TSA to take a hike and do private security.

Looking to buy hearing protection, must have: -Low profile -Cancel out loud noises while allowing low noises (talking, etc) -Durable/long battery life (IF electronic) Also: How do Surfire EP4s stack up vs. electronic hearing protection? http://www.amazon.com/Surefire-EP4-Sonic-Defender-Protection/product-reviews/B003CWGDKE/ref=cm_cr_dp_hist_1?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=0&filterBy=addOneStar

http://www.smartgunner.com/danieldefenseliteurg.aspx Build your own NJ Compliant AR Upper... I was planning on buying: 14.5" bbl with midlength and low-profile gas block. DD Lite Rail 10.0. BCG, and charging handle. Maybe get the lower and LPK too.... maybe.

Ahh, the rights that can be infringed in the "defense of our country"...

Didn't have a chance to opt out at Newark... Scanner was broken. They also didn't pat anyone down either...

Going to the airport early today to opt out from my freedom scan.

2 guns in one week... Got me a Glock 21sf at a verrrry good price on GB, and this fine shotgun! Now I just need to finish renovating my downstairs so I can order a safe! :-)

Bought the synthetic stock version! I went to the local Dick's and checked out both walnut and synthetic stocks, and I wasn't too thrilled with the wood stock. It's nothing like my dad's old school Custom Browning A-5.

Good gun. I love shooting my buddy's. Bit bulky though.

What about deer hunting? What is suitable there?

The 28" uses the accuchoke, and the combo comes with 3 chokes. Is that still usable for hunting?

I may want to take up hunting in the future as well... Pheasant and maybe deer.

Also.... is there a huge performance difference between a 26" and 28" barrel?

Problem is: I'm at a loss trying to figure out if I want the walnut one? Or synthetic? Thoughts? I'm leaning towards the synthetic one, only because it comes with the 18.5" barrel, which would let me sell my 870 express and still have an HD gun. But I also want to change things up a bit and have something that ISN'T black tacticool...

To each his own. My brother owns a PT99 and a Judge (which I fought hard for him NOT to get). The 99 works well, but it's also super broken in.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/mystery-missile-launched-missile-off-california-coast/story?id=12097155 Most likely a launch by the US Navy, but thus far the Navy says they were not aware of any launches. I'm betting they shot down a UFO.

Taurus blows.

Thing is: an employer should have the right to screen their employees in a matter they deemed fit. Maybe to you, the applicant, the justification for a credit search is not warranted, but maybe the employer had issues in the past with other applicants. Maybe they just want to cover their asses. I see no reason for the state to be involved in this.
