by Ovomit, are you meaning the melonite barrel coating ? Most seem to like the S&W MP 15, but i did come across a review in which the guy is po'd because they stopped using melonite coating for barrel in 2012 and have been using a proprietary coating. Also, wondering if anyone has heard of...

I'm considering getting an entry level .223 AR 15 rifle soon (entry level meaning priced under $1000). I don't know much about the different companies making them other than S&W MP 15 and I hear Ruger makes one. I would appreciate input on some of the others that are available- their quality...

Combat veterans shoot down the NRA: ‘Good guy with a gun’ is based on a ‘fantasy world’ this is what scares me about fighting active shooter - if you're holding a gun cops likely to shoot you when they show up not knowing you're a good guy. Also, if there are other permit holders who decide to...

Has anyone in other states/cities heard this or is it just Indiana/Indianapolis so far? I heard it on the news first last night and 3 times tonight on the 6 pm news. Because of increased shootings around the country, the IMPD Chief of Police has been on the news stating that law enforcement...

Thanks for all the input - i wound up getting one of these Uncle Mike's. May get a few others, but so far I like this one because I can put the belt to the outside of the holster and wear it outside or inside the pants and it keeps the pistol close to the body either way. It conceals a full...

I hear about gov't and anti gunners calling for more control and regulations whenever they find an excuse... yet it seems citizens are buying guns in record numbers. I see this reported about much more in the local news lately. Just 10 minutes ago they had a story about seniors buying guns...

Here's the response I got from ISP - The link they provided gives Indiana's code on firearms as of 2015 and is pretty lengthy, but worth being familiar with if you live in Indiana or will be here for some time. As far as churches go, they aren't specifically mentioned in the code, so would...

I'm considering an alien gear holster since they now have one for the S&W SD9VE. Currently I have a cheap cloth/nylon one that is harder to draw if inside the waistband vs outside. Since alien gear looks sturdier, I'd like some input whether inside or outside is about the same as far as...

St Thanks - I googled 'how much has state farm paid out in claims' and found nothing. You're very good with research and such.

As some of you might remember, I'm looking for a rifle, and the outdoor ranges usually open this month where I'm at (if the weather gets a bit better). The rifle ranges here only allow pistol caliber rifles. I like the 357 magnum lever action, but I think first I'd like to get a semi auto that...

Don't know if I should post this in the political section or here. The guy who did the shooting probably thought he was fighting terrorism in some way. But more than likely he took his revenge on kids that didn't deserve it...

Are you wearing the tcp in a holster around your waist ? They call these pocket pistols because they're small enought to cary in your pocket and that's how most carry them. I only googled - but here are a couple pocket holsters: Link Removed Link Removed

Not as popular for carrying as holsters, but I like these - you can carry a full size pistol, keys, phone, etc. in it and it leaves your pockets empty for comfort or to carry a pocket pistol in if you want: Link Removed

I bought a rifle for my girlfriend to learn to shoot with and hadn't considered this: I bought it in my name. If I want to leave it at her house for her to use for home defense, do I need to transfer it to her name?

Interesting - I don't know very much about rifle and shotgun calibers / gauges but am starting to learn. I do know what 22, 22lr, and 22 magnum are. I came across these shotgun / rifle combo's while googling shotguns and they call 410 a 'gauge' : Link Removed So... maybe some of you could...

School shootings and terrorist killings get the media attention, but it's sad we have many more Americans killing Americans just for the heck of it: This kid was white, the victim chinese/american by his look and sound of his name. Seems like there's a couple shootings in Indianapolis a week...

Bought a Marlin 795 22 rifle a couple months ago for my girlfriend to shoot at the range. The manual says since modern ammo is fairly clean the barrell rarely needs cleaned and to clean the action every 200 rounds. The rifle needs an unusual size hex key to break it down and it took me awhile...

This was discussed a little in another thread, but I'd like to see a little more input on it. Indiana is an open carry state, but in the states website in the Q&A section on guns this is said about open vs concealed carry: The part I'm asking about is 'Indiana law is silent on this issue...

I'm not sure this point is very valid, because far more gun owners conceal carry than open carry. Because this is so it makes sense that you would see many more instances of concealed guns being used in SD situations. I do recall this story about a open carry gun being stolen at gun point...

This is from the website of a firearm safety instructor who also has his FFL and who I bought one of my guns through: You can read the rest at this link if you like: Link Removed
