Correct - I think BP has been classified as an explosive all along, but I've been told that reg's changed after 9-11 and that's why most places stopped carrying it.

You are correct - BP substitutes are considered flammables, but not explosives - just like smokeless powder. BP was reclassified shortly after 9-11 which is why so many gun shops now don't bother carrying real BP - they would be required to have special storage facilities, etc.

I can understand how someone unfamiliar with the operation of the rear sight on the '03 Spngfld could make the mistake of leaving the rear sight leaf down and trying to shoot through the battle sight (which is set for about 500 yds). I can also see how someone unfamiliar with the '03 not realizing t...

I cast and shoot cast bullets in both rifle and pistol (obviously not for 22LR though). Your problem is most likely caused by a rough spot in the bore and/or the Win 333 bullets run slightly on the small side. While pure lead does melt around 600 deg, the lead used in cast bullets is alloyed and typ...

I carry a full sized 1911 IWB in a D.M. Bullard tuckable holster (although I only "tuck" when going to church) at the 4:00 position. I also have a Galco "gun belt" heavy duty belt. If you're going to carry a heavy pistol, make sure you have a good thick belt - I think that's the ...

Just don't forget and step inside a building to use the restroom or something!

UIL or any other school-sponsored activity? No - you can't carry.

Inside a building on the school property? No - you can't carry as that's the definition of "premises".

Outdoors, not a UIL or otherwise school-sponsored sporting event - carry away.

About that time the man grabbed my sons arm and said give me your I-Phone !! For those of you questioning whether he should have drawn at that point or not - how would the son know he wasn't about to be kidnapped? At the time the BG grabbed his arm, this stopped being about the cell phone. If a str...

The news yesterday said "the child" was in the process of beating the HPD LEO's brother with a bat when the cop shot him.

Shooting through a closed outer door clearly violates the safety rule of being sure of your target and what is BEHIND it. In attempting to shoot over the BG's head, the homeowner ran a serious risk of striking a neighbor. Remember that every bullet has a lawyer attached.

Agree with previous posters - start with a .22 (good job starting with a blue gun BTW - I need to get one). I have used plastic toy guns in the past with my boys to teach basic safety drills. An air gun or Airsoft is also good. Start at close range - not more than 7 yards and even 3 yards would be f...

My safe has hooks built into the door from which I hang my handguns in pistol pouches.
