    2021-2022 Hunting Season

    I agree. Every time I'm on a hunt. I kick back and enjoy the scenery and the hunt. no wife asking to do something, no kids asking me order something online. Just peace and quite. I do sometimes get annoyed with the squirrels that cause me to jump thinking it's a deer. lol There's an old...

    Seriously thinking of downsizing

    I know the feeling. I've collected my share of firearms, knives & ammo over time. As age has creeped up on me, I have started reducing my collection. It's hard deciding what to keep and sell. But I need to reduce the collection to a just few as my wife could care less about them when I'm...

    Putting Guns in Storage

    Around here, we have some indoor storage units. They have different levels like a 3-4 story building. They maybe climate control. They're gated, requires passcode to get into the building & security cameras (I've driven by them, never used them.) It maybe a bit more secure than the outdoor...

    Hunter Killed on Day 1 of Bear Season

    I remember a similar incident with 2 hunters a long time ago (when I was a kid.) After a long day of hunting with my dad on public land we headed back to the road/ parking area and found troopers everywhere. Troopers said there was a shooting. Two hunters started off into the woods before...

    Hunter Killed on Day 1 of Bear Season

    "Special firearms"... they're referring to shotguns and muzzle loaders. That's what is allowed in my area as per DEC (no rifles).

    How good is 65+-year-old .22 rimfire ammunition

    A long time ago, I found some .22lr laying on a shelf in the garage after I purchased my house. I put them in a pill bottle and they sat around (forgot about them) for 30 years more before I shot them. Didn't have any issues. The bullets had a thin white coating, but no rust or green patina. I...

    NYC legal rifles/shotguns

    Yes, rifle magazine max at 5 rounds in NYC. (You can't have a 10 round rifle magazine and only load it with 5rds in NYC. ) Like I said NYC ( 5 boroughs ) has their own set of stupid rules.

    NYC legal rifles/shotguns

    No, NYC capacity limit is 5 rounds in the tube or magazine. (5 + 1 in the chamber is fine.) But the Beretta 1201fp can hold up to SIX 2.75" shells in the tube. NYC's issue is the threaded barrel. A Mini14 without the threaded barrel/ muzzle brake may pass, unless NYC changed *hit again.?

    If you had a choice, what LONG RANGE caliber would you choose

    Per your question.. 6.5 creedmore is a flatter shooter vs .308. Imo there are better options for a long range hunting rifle than a M1A. Fieldcraft, Savage ultralight, Kimber, Tikka... I would choose 300WM or 7mm for long distance elk, caribou hunting. just my $0.02

    MAN TRIES TO ROB PEOPLE IN A CONCEALED CARRY CLASS! HE GETS SHOT BY EVERYONE!

    No, I would have said something... even if it could have been his friend, brother or sister. If I'm sitting in a class for a few hours, than someone else other than the person that place his bag there starts rummaging through it. I'm going to ask him "can I help you? " And let him explain what...

    Happy ending. CCW instructor:: So in today's class we're going to have live moving targets.. let go out to the parking lot and practice. (sarcasm.) IDK, maybe it's me but why doesn't the guy (student) with the blue t-shirt and baseball cap sitting next to the thief say something or react when...

    Armored Vehicles Work

    South Africa. You can tell this is not the driver's first rodeo. The way he stays calm and jumps out with AR15 ready to confront the attackers. The guy riding shotgun is so scared he doesn't have a clue what to do. The passenger should have called in the attack as soon as it occurred, instead...

    Virginia cops pepper-sprayed Black and Latino Army officer who had hands raised during traffic stop, video shows

    Here's another video of the incident... I think the cops went to far. Why not ask for the driver for his lic and reg. And tell him I stopped you because you don't have a lic plate on the vehicle. Didn't seem like the driver was combative or trying to argue. After the driver's info checks out...

    I've travel with them in a soft case or a gun sock, on the floor of the back seat or in the trunk of suv. I don't use a lock on them, you can if you like. Keep your long guns unloaded when transporting. I travel with my ammo in my range bag/ammo can.

    NYC Affidavit of Co-habitant Issues and Confusions

    I'm not a lawyer. imo, It depends on how your divorce goes. If it's a mutual peaceful divorce- you guys just don't love each other anymore and both wants to more on/ go your separate ways. that's fine. Compared to her making allegations.. you get angry, violent, threaten her, etc.. Things that...

    NYC Affidavit of Co-habitant Issues and Confusions

    No disrespect OP. It's not about assuming you want a gun to harm your spouse. it's the timing. And even if you weren't going through a divorce, but your spouse doesn't want to sign the affidavit co-habitant (because she doesn't like guns/ want guns in the house.) The bureau may still deny...

    Cash on hand. What is needed?

    imo.. It's a good idea to have cash on hand in case of an emergency. When the electric goes out your ATM card isn't going to work. Your debit/ credit cards aren't going to work. At least with cash you can still buy things even if the store's CC machine is down. How much cash to have on hand...
