Re: Did NRA just kill Constitutional Carry in North Carolina?

Definitions of words are critical. That bill is not Constitutional Carry.
If that bill was passed, then someone is trying to redefine CC.
I think the NRA did the right thing.

44 Mag Reloads

Just curious, does anyone have a good recipe for 44 Mag? These are for a Henry rifle, not a handgun. I am loading the 240 Hornandy XTP and the 225 Hornandy FTX (have to trim the case down to 1.255 for the 225 FTX). Been using IMR 4227, 21gr for the 225gr FTX, but it fills the case and is or almost a...

Re: TN: No place but Tennessee

The response of the Nashville police stands in sharp contrast to the shameful response of law enforcement in Uvalde. I agree. The Nashville PD shows how to do it. I travel a lot with my job. When people in other states ask me about Uvalde, my response is that I am ashamed of the TX LEO response in ...

Re: Help needed - Large Gun Safe on Laminate Flooring OK or Not?

I have two safes, on carpet. I cut a 3/4” oak plywood rectangle to match the foot print of the each safe and place that between the safe and the carpet. The purpose is to prevent any rust stains on the carpet. If I were to place the safes on tile, laminates or any other surface, I would do the same ...

Nuke war if Russia defeated with NATO arms.

Brandon is walking a fine line.
I don't think so, just lots of bluster from the russians.

Re: Got a gift certificate, help me choose

I would not recommend Rock Island. I had a RI officer 1911, that ran about 50% of the time, if that. I won't buy any 1911's that aren't American made at this point, so I can't really recommend Girsan either. If you really want a budget 1911, get a Ruger. It's definitely not great but it will run. D...

Re: TX: Austin man defending his home with rifle from burglars shot and killed by police

Give the circumstances: Report of a man with a rifle at a house. Upon arrival the police hear two shots. A man with a rifle appears at the corner of said house. Although the man did not point the rifle directly at the LEO, the rifle is at a low ready in the general direction of the LEO. So, is the L...

Re: Need Some help to ID and Value a Dillon Press

Looks to be a Dillon 550. Can't tell you exact model of 550 from pic. A new one from Dillon is about $620 and a lot would depend on what "other" stuff is there, additional tool heads for dies, dies, etc. Not knowing what else is there, I will hazard a guess at $450 to $500 depending on ex...

Need Some help to ID and Value a Dillon Press

I have a friend who had a friend that passed way. He is helping his friend's wife value and sell some of his possessions. One item is a Dillon press with dies for 17 cal and 45 cal. Attached is a picture. Can anyone ID the press and what it might be worth? I have no idea regarding the condition or a...

Thanks for the offer!
I found some. A brand new bag of 100 on the shelf behind some other reloading stuff.

Re: Concealed Carry Permit Holders Across the United States: 2022

Based on my classes and other instructors I talk to, the numbers are at or above previous numbers before constitutional carry. This actually goes along with the GOA studies that have been done from other states before Texas that passed constitutional carry. I personally think that you if you alread...
