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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

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...

Heard this on the news while driving and thought I'd post the internet link since some are arguing that the war on terror and isis is a religious war. IMO it's really more about oil and control of it than Christian vs Muslim. By the way, Turkey is 99% Muslim. so if you're one of the ones...

Just Curious - many say they like to cycle their defense ammo (hollow point) every 6 months or so. I've been googling how long ammo will last and have found folks who say they're shooting WW2 ammo and it still works fine, and that if kept dry ammo will last indefinitely. So what's the point...

I'm going to a family reunion on the first of October and will be driving in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina. What's the site that lists the gun laws in different states and any advice / info to offer on carrying ? Thanks!

I've recently started looking at rifles that will shoot the same caliber as one of my handguns. Are the Hi Point 9mm carbines that sell for $225 - $350 any good? Is the Beretta that sells for about $550 a LOT better quality? What other brands / models do you like ? Are they too high powered...

Seems it's happening in quite a few states. Since we had the Mo. article recently stating they were paying $17,500 to train 2 staffers, I'm curious to see how much the firearms classes will cost here. I haven't seen anything about that yet - it may be teachers and staff who want to carry pay...

Indianapolis has a large gun show this weekend that kicks off today @ 2 pm est. It'll be the first gun show I go to - any idea on things to look for to get a bargain and / or things to watch out for to not get a lemon ? All thoughts appreciated - thanks!

This wouldn't be the first thing I would reach for if I had a home invasion - I have a 357 magnum revolver and 17 round 9mm pistol to go through first. But I'm curious - I know many say 22lr handguns don't have enough stopping power, how about a Marlin 795 22lr rifle ? They're on sale right...

This is kind of a follow up to the thread I started a couple of weeks ago on magazines and their springs. The consensus seemed to be that it is the loading and unloading of mags that weakens the spring and that it's best to keep magazines dedicated to defense loaded, maybe cyclilng the ammo...

I'm just curious - What do some of you do with your HD shotguns or rifles when you leave the house ? Do you lock them up or put them in a safe when you go out and get them back out when you come home, or do you simply leave them beside your bed or in the corner of your room where you keep them...
