lock n' load

And several of those they stop have adult toys in their vehicles when they get searched too...

Any recommendations on the proper grease/oil to lubricate the inner bolt work for a safe? The handle is a little tough to turn and the bolts may need some TLC.

Does anyone know of a range in or near Chattanooga that allows shotguns with both shot and slug loads? I believe Prentice Cooper allows slug only rounds but I'd like to try out some buckshot and other shot loads as well.

I looked at the Mossberg 500, Maverick 88 and the Shockwave. I wanted a more compact shotgun for home defense. I don't hunt or skeet shoot.

What's the recoil like? I'm looking at getting the mini shells for home defense. I ordered the adapter needed to accommodate the ahells

I bought a Mossberg Shockwave today and am pretty excited about it. I've seen mixed reviews about them but mostly positive ones. Does anyone on here own one? If so, what are your thoughts on it? I got the 18.5" barrel version. I had originally wanted the 14" one but didn't do my research on their different barrel lengths when I bought mine. I assumed they were only one length but they aren't. Maybe I can buy the shorter barrel and magazine tube if they sell them if I really want the shorter version.

Thanks hughd.

Those look awesome. I kinda gravitate towards the black leather. How long does it typically take to craft one?

I have a PT111 which I believe is almost identical to the g2c. I had heard there were some issues with the plastic guide rod assembly. I replaced mine with a stainless steel on from Lakeline Industries. It runs like a champ.

Bought a RIA 1911 and am looking for suggestions for a holster. I am looking for a leather one with a thumb break which would rest between the hammer and slide when fastened as I plan on carrying it cocked and locked once I get accustomed to the gun.

Today at my wife's work, a patron came in open carrying a firearm and they asked him to show them his carry permit. He told them that he forgot to bring it and they told him to leave. She told me that a law was passed this year that allows a business to ask a permit holder to show them their permit when they enter their establishment if they know or suspect they may be packing. I may be wrong in assuming this but I was under the impression that only LEOs can request a permit holder to show them their permit. I'm not familiar with businesses being able to do so. I know that a businesses can prohibit guns on their property with signage but if they allow firearms can they ask for proof?

From reading the proposed law, it seems that those of us who already have a HCP that includes a photo I.D. and have paid the initial and/or renewal fees (especially lifetime permits) that we would be considered "enhanced" permit holders and would be grandfathered into that class???

This bill seems like a gimmick. It seems they just want more money to do what you could already do or at least most of it. I thought you could already carry your gun or guns in any manner you wanted. I could be wrong though...

Not in this video but I had him bring a safe into my house and he used those wooden pieces to slide the safe into a back bedroom. He and his son would push it so far along and then place more wooden pieces along the path. It was kinda like making a train track to guide the safe to its destination. They got it where I wanted it to go and once it reached its final destination, they placed it on the floor and leveled it to make sure the door wouldn't bind when it was opened. The PVC pipe trick shown earlier should provide the same results also.

Here's a video by Aaron Parker that may give you some tips for moving you safe.

James Gang "Walk Away"...good stuff..love 70's music..best music ever...

Thanks Garufa. I was contemplating on getting one. I can't decide between a full size or a compact model. SW doesn't have the RIA compact versions in. They only had the full ones. Impact Guns and Buds have some compact ones but I'd need to pay a FFL transfer fee to get one. Dunno if that would justify getting a smaller one or just go with a full size

I was in Sportsmans Warehouse today and handled a couple of RIA 1911s. I like them. They seem a good budget gun if you don't have the $ to drop on a Kimber or Colt. I've read many good things about them. My question is would you trust your life in one as an EDC?

The way I see it is that if the shooter would have just minded his own business then the situation would never had occurred. It wasn't his place or authority to confront people over things that didn't directly affect him. Sure, we as permit holders have seen people do blatant and stupid things while we are carrying but we don't confront them. I also think that if (A) the shooter was an officer in an argument with the driver, I think the victim would have thought twice about charging him and knocking him down. There are some idiots who disregard the law enough to do so, but it usually ends badly for them and (B) if the shooter wasn't armed then most likely he wouldn't have started the argument to begin with. I think that most people who carry a gun do so with respect for the law and life itself. They avoid conflict at all costs and would only use deadly force as a last resort. However, there are some out there who legally carry who become emboldened by that ability and may say or do things they normally wouldn't do unarmed. They somehow think they can "police" society over things that ill them. They feel justified in confrontation knowing that if they stoke a fire and it becomes too hot to handle, then they can shoot their way out and claim self defense. Those are the types of people who have no need to carry a gun. It also seems that the media can only find the few bad apples to show the public how "bloodthirsty HCP holders are". It's not often that the news will show a justified case of deadly force. That wouldn't fit their narrative. They would rather focus on the negative stories which causes division and discord between the masses (just read the comments section on the news articles about this story). Some may disagree with me but that's just how I feel about these recent shootings. They give the good permit holders a bad name.

What price range should I go for? I saw this on Amazon. Would it be any good? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCVHZK7/ref=sr_ob_3?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1532400769&sr=1-3

I watched the video to that shooting and it appears to be unjustified. Apparently that man has had other run ins with other people about parking in handicapped spaces from what I have read. In this particular case, he found a "reason" to use deadly force. I am surprised that he isn't charged with something. Being pushed to the ground isn't grounds to shoot someone. I'm all for SYG laws. I think every state should have them. However, there are some instances where instigating a fight and using a gun to end it just plays into the anti-gunners hands on why they shouldn't be legal. 99.9% of SYG shootings are legally justified but in cases like this, it just gives the other side a reason to deem such laws "shoot to kill" or whatever bs they like to use to describe them...

I currently use a Goldenrod dehumidifier In my safe and was thinking about getting a hydrometer to measure the humidity to see if the Goldenrod is keeping the moisture down in my safe. Are they necessary? Do they compliment a dehumidifier?
