Dealing with NFA and pistols with rifle stocks

I look at this not from an AR pistol with an attached brace but as a old C96 Broomhandle Mauser with a attachable wood stock. Can't seem to get an answer as to whether it needs registration or not. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=7a69a75e18cf55d7JmltdHM9MTY3NjMzMjgwMCZpZ3VpZD0zMDZhOTFjMS1hZTR...

Re: Deer hunting: cartridge question

I hunt with a pistol mostly for deer. Even with a .44 180 GR HP the spray out the other side is about three feet if inside 20 yrds. Now with a rifle I would bet you would also want to have all that energy remain in the animal and not fly though and maybe hit something unintended or someone. So maybe...

The PPK/S can be ammo sensitive so check before you buy quantity.

DC Concealed Carry Lic

As a VA resident we can apply for DC Carry permit. Has anyone done this yet? Do the classes you have already taken apply to those that are needed for the DC class?
Have any pointers?
Any update on how it went would be appreciated.

Re: Gun store wont release my gun to me

Talk to your local circuit court and ask them how to go about this. Get names and paperwork with signatures. You can give gifts to family members of weapons. Get it in writing and bring it with you along with a ph number the gun dealer can call. Go during court hours to the gun store.

Re: AR-15 For Home defense

You can get them in 9mm so there would be less of a chance for it to go further than you want.

Re: Please Help!!! I Would Like Some Help Picking My Next Gun

I have the compact version of that gun the Sig 228.
Try a 320 Compact Xframe. You can put optics on it. Sig or Leupold only for optics. I bought one and am going to order an optic.
I have a scope on a few of my handguns, Thompson Center Contender. I have a .22, .223 and red dot on the .44

Re: Get ready

AS a motorcycle rider I always had zip lock bags that kept my gear dry. Brother was going to Europe to go and tour by back pack. I said let me pack for you. He and his buddy go to the hostels. They walked quite a bit and it did rain often. They get to the hostel for the evening. He opens my packed b...

Re: What is 15 in AR-15?

Car 9 is how the AR-15 in 9MM was referred to. Don't think they made one that was not collapsible or was an Hbar.

Re: Safe Dealers in Northern VA?

The proper way to move a safe by your lonesome. Get a good hand cart and a low height floor jack. 2 pcs card board for the jack and towel over that. Lift the door off the safe with the jack and put it on the hand cart. Ratchet strap it to the cart. That's about half the weight of the safe. Move it t...

VA Unconstitutional laws have to be abolished

There are a few sites where there is advertising to sell and buy guns. With these new laws comes the extra burden that I must have a background check for each and every new purchase. It appears that no FFL in Northern VA wants to do a private transfer. They have just made selling and buying of priva...

Re: Hunting doe with a 357 snub nose? legal and ethical?

The vital spot is a dinner plate sized target. So most people could hit that a good distance out especially since every tree is a rest.
