      My first shotty!

      Just brought my new baby home after DCs waiting period. Went with the Mossberg 500. Figured it's a good workhorse to start with. And I get 18 and 26 barrels. So when we going to PG trap and skeet?

      Marlin 28

      Hi All, My father in law is handing me down his Marlin 28. He hasn't used it much, but it looks in good shape. Knowing its an older gun, how much use can it get for day to day activities, like skeet or hunting? I intend to take it to a smith when I get back home for a full inspection. Thanks. DF

      Place to buy makarov ammo in or near Springfield, VA?

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone knew a place I could pick up some 9x18 ammo near Springfield. Going to be there on Monday anyway so thought I could take advantage of being in VA. Online ammo is not an option for me. Thanks.

      Range Report: CZ82

      I took my new CZ82 (well, it's new to me) out for the first time to the NRA for some b-day shooting. Some initial thoughts: -Man does that gun have some kick to it. I was not expecting that. Bruised my hand a little bit. - A lot of people talk about the accuracy of the gun. And they're...

      Hi all, Anyone knows what happens if the government shuts down related to background checks? Can we still buy firearms during a shutdown? Just curious.

      First time at Nation's Gun Show. Success, and a silver lining to living in DC

      So went to the Nation's Gun Show for the first time ever today. Was mainly looking for 9x18 ammo, of which there was surprisingly little, but did find a pretty good deal of 1000 fmj from Silver Bear for $200 even. That's about as good as anywhere I've seen online. And I could see though if I...

      Online Seller Recommendations

      Hi all, I have a C&R and was wondering what dealer sites are worth visiting? I know SOG has good deals and they ship to DC. Anyone else that is particularly trustworthy? I'm guessing some won't bother shipping to DC but I can work around that. Thanks.

      Virginia CCW

      Hi all, I've seen a lot of threads here about Utah CCW classes and applications. It seems as though VA also allows out-of-staters to apply for and receive CCW permits. Has anyone gone through it? Is there a reason to apply for Utah over VA?

      Another Victory for DC Gun Control

      I woke up to this message in my inbox this morning. It happened just steps from where I live, which is normally a very quiet area. Remember, the DC council decided that having gun control was more important than a vote in Congress. Good Morning, On July 31, shortly before 1:00 am...
