    Wolford v. Lopez: Hawaii Private Property Carry Restriction at the Supreme Court

    There is a Petition for Certiorari at the Supreme Court challenging Hawaii's law that even if a person has a permit to carry it is illegal to carry on private property open to the public (like a supermarket) unless the property owner explicitly grants permission. The Supreme Court Docket is...

    Just got green laser/flashlight for my Sig P365

    Now that NJ issues concealed carry permits to ordinary, law abiding citizens, for two years plus my everyday carry is a Sig P365. Just yesterday I received and installed a Streamlight green laser/flashlight. WOW. It’s not much bigger than the first digit of my thumb, but the green laser is...

    Please recommend Vise for a 48" Worktable

    I am ordering a not expensive and hopefully sturdy 24"x 48" worktable with a "Rubberwood" top. What vise should I get to attach to the table to keep a rifle secure when cleaning or tinkering. Do I attach the vise to one end of the table and rest the muzzle on a shooting bag or do I get a...

    Midway had good sale on IMI 5.56 55 gr. FMJ

    For a 1200 round case, only $0.39/round with free shipping from Midway. A 420 round case is only $0.41/round with free shipping I like that the individual boxes hold 30 rounds, as a 20 round box is not quite enough and a 50 round box is a bit too much. Update Now up $0.10 per round

    Who makes/sells a rifle safe/cabinet not more than 11.0" wide

    I see lots of narrow rifle safes/cabinets 11.8" wide but I need a safe/cabinet not more than 11.0" wide. Security level is to keep young children out -- not to protect expensive firearms from a full grown adult with a crow bar or a truck. Thank you in advance

    Went overboard on a Ruger American

    I bought a Ruger American in 5.56 NATO capable of accepting standard AR15 magazines. The factory stock was too short, too low and too skimpy, so I replaced it with a Magpul stock. The restocked rifle fit me so well that I had a gunsmith install a 20” X-Caliber barrel in .223 Wylde. I was so...

    Upgraded Ruger American 5.56 NATO

    The Ruger American 5.56 NATO is a bolt action rifle chambered in 5.56 and able to receive standard AR15 magazines. It is a good low cost rifle. Unfortunately, the stock is too lightweight, too skimpy, too short in pull to provide adequate eye relief, and too low at the comb to give a good...

    What happens to old parts after you upgrade.

    Many guns have parts that seem made to be upgraded. For example factory triggers or trigger groups that are simply atrocious, and poor quality stocks on otherwise good rifles. After enough upgrading you can end up with a mess of old not very good parts. My pile is building up and I am...

    Is it now time to stock up on ammo?

    In December 2019, just before Covid hit, it seemed a good time to stock up. Prices were low and all my favorite ammo was available. Fast forward 5 years. Ammo prices are down from their panic buying high, although still pricey, much of my favorite ammo is again available. Seems to me like a...

    Reason for recent flurry of 2A decisions

    Bruen was decided just over two years ago, in June 2022. This has given enough time for several important cases to percolate through the lower courts. Law clerks finish their clerkships approximately July 31, so late July early August is a time for many important decisions to issue. Personally...

    On July 30 the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey issued an Opinion and an Order regarding challenges to New Jersey's "Assault Weapons" Ban and the New Jersey ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds. Opinion Here IMHO the Opinion's ruling on "Assault Weapons"...

    Siegel v. Platkin — Why we support the NRA (and never bash it in public)

    After the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision, holding that individuals have a 2A right to carry outside the home, New Jersey passed a gaggle of laws severely restricting the places carry is allowed. Several cases have been filed challenging these new draconian laws, and Judge Bumb of the New...

    Supreme Court Overrules Chevron

    In what may one of the most important decisions restricting the power of Regulatory State, this morning the Supreme Court overruled the "Chevron" Doctrine. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-451_7m58.pdf In simple terms, the "Chevron" Doctrine originated in a decades old Supreme...

    Yesterday I had to check what day of the week it was

    I retired from full time employment in December. Yesterday, Wednesday, was the first time I had to check to see what day of the week it was. I guess that means my retirement has started to kick in 😃

    Finally met my first Colt in person

    Sent the money for my first Colt to the seller just over a month ago. Since then I have had two significant surgical procedures, and by the Grace of the Creator have recovered well. Today I went to the FFL to start the NICS check and got to see my new to me -- and apparently still unfired --...
