    SKS Assembly.

    Finished assembly, finally got a chance to take it to the range. A couple problems: 1. The I'm-not-sure-what-it's-called attached to the right of the rear sight (standard open type) pops up after 2-3 shots. (I've attached a photo of the part highlighted.) It takes quite a bit of force to...

    Little brother of a friend died Monday - training accident.

    I suppose I should feel lucky for my friends/relatives, I knows a few dozen people in the service, with dozens of deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan between them, and this was the first death of someone I knew. The little brother of an old friend from sixth grade on up through college was...

    CHL holder causes problems for "occupy", gets arrested

    Link Removed Long story short: Someone went to go pester "hippie camp" here in Portland, got called a racial slur, flashed his (legally CHL carried) gun. Not going to help CHL holders there, bub. Now he's charged and can lose his CHL. Regardless of your view of the "Occupy" movement (and...

    You have one shot to save your life at 100yds

    7.62x39. Because this is me at 100 yards with an SKS on iron sights, I know I can do this with an SKS. I don't know if I can do that with any given .308. Link Removed

    Do you inform uniformed deliverypersons that you are concealed carrying?

    We have so many other "do you inform" polls, why not one more?

    CCW Greyhound

    Greyhound is a private company, their buses are private property. According to their site, they "have a zero tolerance for alcohol, drugs, weapons and unruly behavior." They don't separate open carry from concealed carry. They state "no weapons." Heck, they even prohibit weapons in checked...

    Indiana open carry???

    Per the State of Indiana Link Removed: By my reading (I am not a lawyer, for full confirmation, contact a lawyer local to Indiana that deals with firearms issues, etc, etc, etc,) this means you can open or concealed carry.

    Dang. Kel-Tec P11 blued finish slide rusting

    I like to think I keep my weapons well-maintained. But, I didn't concealed carry every day until very recently. (I would always have excuses for not CCing, but the recent events - shooting at Temple, shooting at IHOP - along with my own increased interest have gotten me to carry more often...

    Current Google Offers for Portland is a training session from Threat Dynamics -60%

    Google Offers current Portland Oregon promotion is $40 for regularly $100 "immersive tactical shoot package for two." It's virtual-reality (300 degree range of vision, laser-tag "cap guns",) not live-fire, but I've heard good things about them from others. Deal expires Monday at 5 AM...

    SKS Assembly.

    Well, finally pulled the trigger (pun intended) on a rifle. I've owned my 9mm subcompact for over a decade, and my grandmother gave me my grandfather's old shotgun after he passed away a few years ago, but I have never owned a rifle. A co-worker has an FFL that he has run as a side-gig for a...

    hello fellow Oregon residents! a couple questions

    Link Removed.205-255 is the appropriate section of law. (215 and 219 basically state that this doesn't apply if you were the aggressor or are yourself committing a crime.) Of course, just because you are justified doesn't mean you won't end up being cuffed and taken away. The way I've heard...

    Friendly Counties to CA Res Receiving a NON-Res CCW?

    Not exactly "close" to California, but if you want to CC in Oregon, the Grant County sheriff is known for his willingness to issue to anyone legally allowed: Link Removed, application here. By Oregon law, an out-of-state resident must give a "business or legitimate demonstrated need." Quote...

    Oregon CHL scan thread.

    Alright, I suggested it in one thread, so I might as well start the thread. In Oregon, Concealed Handgun Licenses are issues by each county's sheriff's office (although they are good throughout the state, of course.) Each sheriff's office seems to have a completely different design. So here's...

    Warning: Oregon does *NOT* have reciprocity!

    There was some confusion this morning over the passage of an Oregon bill. The bill in question started life as a "complete reciprocity" bill, but was gutted and transformed over time, ending with not a word about reciprocity in it. It is now solely about how to legally carry on a motorcycle...
