    Airsoft Gun In DC as part of tribute?

    I am an Air Force retiree, and an avid motorcyclist. I participate in the annual 'Ride to the Wall' on Memorial day weekend. Normally, bikers mount a flag on the back of their bikes for the duration of the demonstration ride. I had a thought, but then I've been conditioned enough by the...

    Veteran's Day Freebies 2013

    Are shortages real? (I hope this is not considered off-topic.)

    This was the body of an e-mail I received at my office. I wonder if this can be substantiated? I do know that in the past 6 weeks, the only OTC ammo I could get was 1 box of .32 and one box of .22 WinMag. I didn't go to the gun shows to try, and I am going to the range tonight after work to...

    Looking for someone in NoVA that does DuraCote...

    ...without charging an arm or a leg. I am just courious about the process and the materials required, and if it would make my toys look better/last longer. Anyone have DuraCote on their firearms? How's it look? Did you do it yourself? if so, was it a PITA or someone you'd suggest I try?

    Handling a firearm on a motorcycle....HOW???

    Ok..I like to ride, and I am starting to open carry...but here's the thing: if you have to 'unload' you can drop a magazine and cycle the slide in the privacy of your car. the most it will look like is you're adjusting your shorts. On a motorcycle i don't HAVE that luxury. In fact, to remove...

    OC a 'Mouse Gun'

    imported post I have a SMALL .22 SNS. (this is not for the debate of 'bigger is better' I agree. this is more along the 'anything is better than nothing' belief. Anyway...) I have a belt holster, but with the cover closed, you can barely see the butt of the handgrip. I wonder if this crosses...
