One in six Indiana lawmakers has a permit to carry a firearm, and some even pack their guns when they saunter onto the floor of the Indiana House and Senate, The Journal Gazette in Fort Wayne reported Sunday. These pistol-packing politicians have no problem with the availability of weapons in the Statehouse, and some even welcome the guns given the lax security at the state Capitol. "If someone opens fire from the balcony, I want all the guns I can shooting back. Unless, of course, there are school kids up there," said Rep. Matthew Whetstone, whose small .22-caliber pistol weighs...

There is a big debate among shooters about which is better, IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) or IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation). Actually it's a stupid question with a simple answer; Neither is better! Comparing these two formats is like comparing Chevrolet and Pontiac or Ford and Mercury. They are closely related, and the one that is "Better" is simply the one that you prefer. The formats of the two are certainly different, and the equipment is certainly different, but they both have the goal of improving your shooting skills in a safe, competetive, enjoyable, environment. I shoot both IPSC...

WASHINGTON, DC -- An allied military plan to confiscate weapons in Iraq may destabilize the nation further by giving the green light to street thugs and Baath Party loyalists who are terrorizing innocent civilians, says the Libertarian Party. "Imposing this gun grab is like declaring war on Iraq for a second time," said Geoffrey Neale, Libertarian Party chairman. "How many innocent men, women and children will be kidnapped, robbed or murdered because their U.S. 'protectors' turned self-defense into a crime?" Iraqi citizens will be forced to surrender their heavy weapons under a proclamation expected this week from U.S. and British...

January 15, 2003 Group Unites Gays Who Use Guns By MARYCLAIRE DALE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Lisa Miner had just let her dogs out one afternoon when she noticed a stranger inside her enclosed front porch. "I'm not afraid of you. I'm going to hurt you," she said the young man told her. She grabbed her handgun from a nearby television, loaded it and told him to leave. When he didn't, she shot him, she said. The alleged intruder survived the neck wound last March and was charged with breaking and entering. Miner said she doesn't know if she...

Help me decide witch one of these firearms to purchase as I am confusing myself. Currently I own a SW 357 revolver and that's fine for home. I am female with small wrists and average sized hands, kinda long fingers and would value FReeper advice if you have experience with either of these weapons. Should I look at Glocks as well? I don't care for 9mms such as Ruger etc. Thanks in advance. Here is my first choiceHK USP 45 Second Choice

Posted on Friday, August 16, 2002 at 07:55 PM by rhamilton at www.packing.org I was recently "invited" to initiate a study regarding the feasibility of establishing a national organization of state administrators of concealed weapon permit programs. Its purpose would to be to get all the "rule and law makers" together on the same sheet of music and determine acceptable standards for the issuance of CCW permits that everyone (each state) can live with. Obviously, the point is to establish reciprocity amongst all participating states. National reciprocity bills continue to fail, so this may be the next best thing. I...

(West Haven-AP Apr. 25, 2002 7:30 AM)_ Teachers at West Haven High School are questioning why a student who brought a gun to school was only suspended, not expelled. School officials confirm that a teacher found a gun earlier this year in a student's coat, which he left behind in a classroom. After the gun was found, administrators suspended the student for ten days and hired a tutor to teach him at home for 45 days. George Mack of the teachers' union says the teachers are concerned that any kid who was known to have a gun is coming back...
