Please don't flame me because I am new to the firearms scene. My budget is limited so what is the advantage of picking up something like this? Is it just for collecting, for plinking, for EOTWAWKI? I am trying to limit my guns to common calibers where I can keep my ammo costs down and all I see in t...

Just a word about office practices. It has been my experience that emails to elected folks get little or no attention. Print it out, sign it in ink, and mail it and it moves a giant step up the food chain in the office. Just my experience. I've both emailed and written Sen. Klobuchar. She or her st...

Thanks for the info, I could be violating this just by walking between the apartment and the metro bus stop. I was not aware of the 1000 foot buffer. http://www.gunlaws.com/Gun_Free_School_Zones_Act.pdf If you are a MN resident and have a PTC, you are OK in MN as long as you avoid actual school pro...

Here is a copy of an email I sent to Sen Klobuchar today about gun free school zones. I certainly don't want to be a test case and I don't hold much hope for her doing it, but with most things, you never get anything if you don't ask.

I wonder if he got his gun at gun show? I'm sure the media will let us know when they find out where he got it.

Another important precaution for open carry in WI is the maintaining of a 1000 ft buffer from any school zone unless you are on private property. Depending on street block length, you could be a couple of blocks from a school and walking down the sidewalk and be in violation if you are not aware a s...

Took the two grandsons (6 and 4) out a few weeks ago and let them shoot the 22 carbine, with me helping control the muzzle. On the way out and while we were shooting, I worked them really hard on Rule 1, Always treat a gun as if it is loaded. Last night they were over for supper, so I asked them wha...

Just talked to someone at the ST Paul ATF Office about a long gun purchase from Wisconsin. I read him the following from the ATF FAQ's. Q: May an unlicensed person obtain a firearm from an out-of-State source if the person arranges to obtain the firearm through a licensed dealer in the purchaser’s ...

private seller

I've purchased long-guns from dealers in Wisconsin, and it was always handled the same way it is here. Driver's license is all that was necessary. No transfer to a dealer here. Pistols from a dealer, obviously, require using an FFL in your state. Was the agent including rifles in his statement to y...
