Ive been told there is no such thing as a dumb question.....so here it goes. My wifes 63 year old aunt and uncle moved here from Arizona a few years ago. They recently signed up to take their permit class here in Chautauqua Co. The aunt tells my wife today that she was told by the instructor she...

Ive been hearing that a private company must have a sign saying it allows concealed carry. But, the law actually states a sign OR "otherwise has given express consent." Express consent can be in writting. MOST stores have online "rules" which clearly state that "no UNLAWFUL firearms, you must...

On May 5, 2021 I bought a Canik TP9 SFX. I was in the market for a Glock 17, which the shop had, but it was a gen 3 for $565, not what I was looking for. I came here and asked opinions on Canik and got what I expected.....a few positive but mostly negative.I did some more research and bought the...

A couple months ago while I was bored, I decided to check out some of the gun groups on FB. I have never had a FB page or ever posted a single thing. Im there strictly for the groups. I have never seen so much misinformation, dangerous information or argumentative bunch of keyboard warriors. Ive...

I have been looking for a full size 9mm for concealed carry. I was at the local LGS today and they have a Glock 17....not sure what generation and a Canik TP9 SFL......both of which I have researched quite a bit but still cannot decide. I am going tomorrow morning to buy one of them. If one has...

I live on the PA border so I went to the local county sherrifs office to recertify my PA permit. Sheriff comes out and tells me I was denied through PICS, the PA equivalent to NICS. I thought that was absurd, I have an unrestricted NYS permit and have had a PA concealed for several years now. I...

Im not super experienced with rifle scopes but I want one for my Ruger 10/22. Any suggestions for a scope for the 50 yards and less for chipmunk control and such? Id like to stay under $100 or so but open to suggestions. It may not even be a big deal at such close range but I dont...

What are peoples opinions on dry lube? When I bought my Ruger 10/22 last year it was suggested by my gun guy and several Youtube videos to only use dry lube on semi auto rifles. Ive had many semi auto rifles and shotguns over the last 35 years and have always used CLP on them and a drop of oil...

Ive been out of the loop lately but got a big surprise today. Went to Runnings in Jamestown NY to buy a handgun. After I picked the gun I wanted and after handing the clerk my drivers license and NYS pistol permit, she asked of I had anything with my middle name spelled out. I said no but had...

A few months ago I bought a Ruger 10/22 with the walnut stock from Runnings. After a few hundred rounds the 10 round magazine started acting up. Not sure about the internals of these box mags but im guessing its the follower that was not stiff enough causing the rounds to not load properly. Its...

I ordered grip inserts for my GP100 from Altamont. The ones I ordered were NOT the ones I recieved.....not even close. So I emailed them a picture of what I recieved and they said, "those are the right ones, sometimes they come out a bit different looking." I sent them back and they sent the...

This is great. Awhile ago here there was a post about ordering Biden signs to shoot. Like an idiot, I ordered them. Two days ago we came home and there was the Biden sign, along with a judges campaign sign....AT THE END OF OUR DRIVEWAY!! :) I immediately took them down. We were gone all day, my...

I need to upgrade from my 20 year old Stack On gun cabinet. I have no idea how much difference there is between a safe costing $700 and one costing $2000 when they both offer basically the same options. I dont need a huge safe but would like a quality safe. I got this ad on Facebook for a...

Wondering if tarnished brass that has been laying in the grass all winter is still useable for reloading? Thanks.

Long story short, a friend of mine had the idea he was going to do some reloading. After buying a bunch of equipment, he decided he didnt even want to try. All his equipment is brad new ad never used. He recently gae it all to me. Im going to gie it a try. Im sure this is all crappy equipment...

Ummmmm, doesnt sound too dangerous. https://flashenmax.com/pages/flashen

And bought a new Gen 4. It fits my hand better and shoots alot smoother. I also bought a Rock Island Armory M206......just because im still waiting for a gun I ordered last week so I got antsy.:)

Law Allowing Hunter Safety Courses to be Taught in School Signed by Governor

Does anyone have any experience with this sub $300 Walther? Our local shop has them for $295. The reviews ive read are all very good with many people wondering how Walther made a gun with the "best trigger on the market" for under $300. It is a pretty big gun and has a HiPoint look to it, but...

Im beginning to carry my Ruger GP100 3". I havent really thought about carrying this gun before, so I just use it on the range with 158 grain flat soft points......its cheap where I buy it. So, what is good defense ammo for a 3 inch 357 mag?

So, ive decided to carry my Ruger GP100 3 inch occasionally. I love this gun and its my best shooter for me. Im looking for a sturdy leather holster that will keep the gun close to my side. Price isnt important for the right holster. Most ive looked at are just ugly. Also, the huge rubber grips...

Ruth Bader Ginsburg in Hospital With Broken Ribs After Fall

The other day I was shooting some targets with my Shield 9mm. After a few rounds, one did not fire. I cleared the gun and found this. The primer was struck but did not fire. Did this happen from the firing pin or was this primer cracked before loading? Ive never seen this before.

New York GOP Rep. Chris Collins to be indicted on insider trading charges He was just arrested by the FBI. That sucks, he was a big 2a supporter.

I was recently offered a good deal on a Sig 226 in 357 Sig. Its the base model and has around 1000 rounds through it. Factory night sights and 3, 10 round mags. In the box with manual. From what I can find, $500 is a good deal. I just want to know if this gun has any known...

Shooting reported at Maryland high school, sparking lockdown Nothing confirmed yet Oops, put this in the wrong place.

Every morning about this time these guys come to our yard. About 20 birds, mostly jakes and gobblers with beards dragging on the ground.

I have read all of penal code 35 and I believe I know the answer, but, of course, this is NYS. Two days ago my girlfriend and I were visiting my parents in a urban town. We were walking down a long road when we heard a loud truck coming behind us. The Dodge truck was literally driving with its...

Im sure looking forward to recertification online. Florida concealed weapons permit holders exposed in computer hack

I may be an idiot because this is the first time I have heard of this technology, The National Integrated Ballistic Information Network. Apparently if used correctly it is a great tool that is aimed at the criminals, not the law abiding. The few cities that use it say things like "fantastic"...

My GF is really interested in target shooting as of late. I have very little experience in target guns. She hates my guns because they are all large caliber hunting rifles and shotguns. We went to our local PA shop but they are more geared toward hunting and had nothing she liked in stock. She...

What if anything do you guys and gals use to either call or lure deer to you? I have a 20 year old tube grunt that has stopped many bucks in their tracks for me but im not sure if its really helped call them in. I will make low contact grunts for an hour, then a buck comes down the trail. Did I...

I have a couple guns that are capable of shooting well over 1000 yards. Im looking for advice on scopes. Mainly looking for a new scope for my 338 Lapua Magnum. Right now I have a Burris Eliminator digital. It is a good scope but it is broken, it fogs inside for days and the electronics are...

Sighted the 308 at 100 yards. Decided to bring a couple others out. Henry 357 Henry 45-70 Marlin 45-70 And finally, the 338 Lapua magnum at 300-400 yards.

My girlfriend was at the gun shop the other day and did me a huge favor. I have shot up all my 308 ammo and she knew I had to get more for hunting deer next month. This is my first time using a rifle for deer. So, she bought Federal 180 grain soft points......4 boxes. I was planning on using...

Do any of you use +P ammunition in your Shield for either practice or carry? Ive researched a bit online but there are about 50/50 opinions for and against the use of +P in a 9mm Shield. The manual from S&W does not come right out and say yes you can, it says if you do use +P, you should clean...

A friend of mine lives on the edge of state land in Chautauqua Co. Target practice IS allowed on the state land because there are NO signs prohibiting it. He asked me if he was allowed to target practice and sight in rifles and handguns during deer season, Oct 1-Dec11? I looked through DEC...
