Unfortunatly it would never get signed by the douche-bag govoner elected to office in our great state. At least that was what I was told personally by one of our pro-gun senators that pushed for it the first time around. Pretty sure we're going to have to wait it out until Dayton is out the door. F...

Does anybody know where to get sections of butcher block counter top for reasonable prices? Finished or unfinished does not mater. I am looking to replace the top on my reloading bench, as my choice of materials is not strong enough and is flexing. Old bowling ally would work too if I could find th...

The ranges usually appreciate it when your pills end up in the backstop rather than the floor or ceiling. Years ago, I was shooting at Burnsville, working on my trigger control. I had a bulls-eye target at 25 yards, and had loaded my mags alternating live rounds and snap caps. I'd do two or three s...

If you value your possessions, buy the best luggage/case you can afford, and take pictures of the case and your items before you travel - and after if there is ANY damage. Of course, remember that the airline's position is that luggage exists to protect the contents, and that they will not reimburs...

Are you and your father residents of different states? If so, it's the federal laws you need to deal with. Otherwise, are you or your father a federally licensed firearms dealer?

I'm curious, how is it that the muggers were able to rob people in the same area several (3) times in a short period of time and we didn't hear about it until one of them was shot and killed?

How many women would he and his sister have robbed and attacked, in the week since his death, had they not been stopped? There were at least three in the week prior.

Here's the criminal complaint for the sister From the complaint: Investigation determined that one of K.U.’s stolen credit cards and some of her checks were used shortly after the robbery at Target stores in Northeast and downtown Minneapolis. Photographs of some of those transactions were obtained...
