Gun safes offer you protection on many levels. They protect your firearms from theft and destruction. They protect them from accidentally getting into the hands of children. And, by keeping your firearms out of the wrong hands, they protect your right to keep and bear arms through responsible ownership. When shopping for a gun safe, the old axiom that goes: "You get what you pay for," may not always be true. Ostensibly this means that the most expensive item is therefore the best item solely by virtue of being the most expensive item but often good value can be found at moderate prices. There are many factors that enter into the deal, like personal preference and level of expectation and[..]

Most gun owners like to keep their firearms in a safe spot where they won't be stolen or fall into the wrong hands (especially children). One of the challenges gun owners face is that when purchasing a gun safe, they can protect their firearms; however, lose the ability to quickly access what's inside their security safe. No one wants to fumble in the dark for keys or a combination if there is an intruder in their home. Even a few lost seconds can affect your ability to response in a time of crisis. One of the latest solutions that addresses this common fear is through using a fingerprint gun safe. Fingerprint safes operate very similar to traditional safes, but instead of using a[..]

Police corruption whistleblower Simon Illingworth has described the lowest point he reached in his personal life when working as a "rat" or informer with the Victoria Police's internal affairs department, or the "filth". Out publicising his new biography, appropriately named Filthy Rat, Illingworth says the low point came when he knew was a hunted man, sleeping with a revolver beside his bed and surrounded by elaborate security. "You live a life so isolated, so downtrodden that you feel worthless," Illingworth has told ABC radio. "And you drink a lot. You almost take on the role of rat because you feel so worthless." Illingworth, 38, made headlines two years ago when he went public on[..]

As the presidency of George W. Bush draws to a close, the candidates to fill his position are being examined ever more closely as Election Day draws nearer. One major issue for hunters, sportsmen, law enforcement, and just about everyone on some level, is the issue of gun control and 2nd Amendment rights. The common wisdom is that the more liberal the candidate, the more he or she will be for stricter gun control, whereas the more conservative, the more for gun ownership rights. Below is a look at some of the front runners and the stances they have taken on the issue. Barack Obama, the Illinois senator, has a consistent record of working to increase restrictions on firearms. He[..]

Whenever you step into a store that sells weapons intended for self-defense, you're presented with a tough decision. Before the 1980's, you didn't even have to think about it, but with the advent of non-lethal options, the average Joe looking to defend both himself and his family has to make a cold, hard choice between a handgun shooting real bullets, and a stun gun, capable only of temporarily disabling an attacker. Here's some information to help you decide which road is more appropriate for your particular situation. 1. When you pull out a handgun, you have to be absolutely ready to pull the trigger. Self-defense experts will teach you that you don't aim for the legs or the arms;[..]

the types of airsoft guns, shotguns may be some of the most popular. There are certain types of shotguns that are used in airsoft games, and others that are purchased primarily for show or target practice. No matter what kind of shotgun you get, you can be certain that it will look quite attractive and generally cool. For airsoft games, it is wise to get a shotgun that can fire multiple shots at once. While people normally associate real shotguns with discharging hundreds of small BBs, airsoft shotguns are somewhat different. Cheap shotguns only fire one BB at a time, and all shotguns are spring, so you need to pump it between each shot. This can be inefficient in an airsoft game,[..]

Handgun Scope Needs are Unique Handguns manufactured today have a great kick, or recoil, than many rifles possess. This fact alone should dictate that there needs to be a uniquely different scope built to a handgun's needs. Therefore, pistol users would never attempt placing a rifle scope on a handgun. A scope specifically manufactured for a handgun will be constructed providing greater extended eye relief (EER) for users since modern handguns can produce a degree of recoil that could harm the shooter. Not only are pistol scopes constructed to stand up to a greater amount of gun recoil, but remain extremely accurate for a good length of time. And, there are many brands, such as a Leupold[..]

In most states there are different processes for purchasing shotguns and handguns. In general, it is easier to buy a shotgun. That is because the majority of states do not require a shotgun owner to hold a permit. Shotgun owners are also not required to register their guns in a majority of states. All states require some sort of background check be performed before a purchase can be made from a licensed dealer. No one who has been convicted of a violent crime will be allowed to purchase a gun legally. Controls on handguns are usually stricter. While many states allow the purchase of a handgun without a permit or registration, there are usually separate requirements for owners who wish to[..]

A bill to provide the residents of Washington D.C. with a voting representative in the House was passed by the Senate this month, but is on hold in House. The reason? The Senate bill also includes an amendment which repeals many of the capital city's gun laws, and the House hopes to pass the bill, minus the gun amendment. Back on June 26, 2008, the Supreme Court struck down the District's handgun ban and finally established that the Constitution's Second Amendment gives individuals the right to keep guns in their home for self-defense. However, the city enacted another gun control law shortly after the high court's ruling. This new law allows gun ownership, but requires residents to[..]

Vehicle theft is the number one property crime in the United States, and it costs consumers more than eight billion dollars a year. Much of that cost is borne by insurance companies, and they pass along the costs in the form of higher insurance premiums. Let's face it. If a criminal wants your car, he's likely going to get it. But there are things you can do to lower your chances of a car hijacking. 1. Be aware of your surroundings. Notice the physical area around you. When you park in the daylight, and you know you'll be coming back to your car after dark, try to park in a well-lighted area. 2. Be aware of the people around you. Notice if anyone is following you, or coming toward you[..]

Smith and Wesson is the largest handgun manufacturer in the United States. The company was formed by two partners in 1852 and produced lever action pistols and revolvers. Smith and Wesson kept the company within the family until 1964, when it was sold to several large investors. During their ownership, Smith & Wesson saw substantial sales decreases, with the boycott and comeback of a large majority of Smith & Wesson firearms, to guarantee the loss of profits and customers. Smith & Wesson is accountable for more than half of handguns and revolvers made in the United States, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation reports. Smith and Wesson have always led the industry[..]

Preparing to buy your first handgun can be quite daunting. They aren't cheap. New handguns range in price from $250.00 to $2,500.00. And to complicate the matter even further, there are many different manufactures and choices. I tell people in my carry permit course that there are as many different types of handguns as the manufacturers can talk people into buying. What is probably most confusing to someone new to this field is the fact that for every make and model of handgun, there are 3 gun magazine writers telling their readers that their particular brand or caliber or gizmo is the best, and 4 others saying that the gun in question will get the reader killed. Yesterday I was[..]

re some very important rules for safety when using airsoft guns. The first caution is to thoroughly read your airsoft gun manual before using the gun. Each airsoft gun is going to have different characteristics for operating it. After you play with airsoft guns, you should always remove its magazine and switch it back to the mode of single shot. This releases the spring within hthe box. Next you should disconnect the airsoft gun's battery and clean and lubricate all airsoft guns before storing them. The inner barrels of the guns should be sprayed with silicone on the hop up if you've used them extensively. There are maintenance tips specific to gas operated air soft guns. With these[..]

ft guns are becoming extremely popular. Not only are they fun and easy to shoot but there are many different styles to choose from. If you are an avid airsoft player and are looking for a change from your normal semi automatic guns, you may want to look into an airsoft shotgun. Airsoft shotguns can be more challenging because you have to shoot it like a real shot gun. For this reason there is a variety of styles available in the airsoft shotgun category. You can choose from the older style double barreled shot gun, to the pump action shotgun like the multi shot tactical shotgun by UTG, which is powered by a spring. If you are looking for a gun that can hold more rounds you will want to[..]

e past century, the face of warfare has changed dramatically. Whereas the wars of yesteryear were fought on the ground, today’s wars are a showdown in the skies. The power, effectiveness, and might of modern military is exhibited in the power of their air force. What is the Air Force? In the United States, the Air Force is a branch of the armed services whose purpose it is to defend and protect the United States and her allies by means of air combat.

Electric airsoft guns are the most popular type of airsoft gun. They are usually powered by rechargeable batteries, as using non-rechargeable batteries would be exhausted incredibly quickly. The batteries power an internal piston, pulling it back and pushing it forward in order to project pellets. In the case of full automatic guns, this cycling of the piston occurs at a very high rate. A popular acronym for these "automatic electric guns" is AEGs. Most AEGs are modeled after real military weapons, such as M16, Steyr Aug, HK MP5, AK-47, M14, HK G36, and many others. AEGs can achieve high speeds (of BBs, measured in feet per second) and rates of fire (ROF). High-quality AEGs can[..]

TV currently has several animated popular animated series, offering from low-brow humour to gross-out comedy to intellectual fare. Now, what separates these is not really theme or art, but approach. "Futurama" is one of my favourite animated shows, now canceled yet resurrected through a series of straight to DVD movies(which is the perfect solution as far as I'm concerned). Where has it failed? Well the futuristic settings aside, it's basically a Springfield of the future with a colourful cast of characters thrown in. Where can it go wrong? Well, in its diversity it fails to be cohesive and lacks consistency. Something a lot of shows suffer from. Take for instance "Family Guy". Sure, it[..]

I'm sure that everyone who follows the NFL has surely heard more than they ever cared to about the recent Plaxico Burress-shoots-himself story. And along with the discussion about his particular situation came a broader discussion about NFL players carrying handguns, and the NFL's league-wide gun policy, or lack thereof. Unfortunately, one thing that I have seen repeated over the airwaves (I'm talking to you ESPN) is the notion that the NFL is somehow limited in what it can do about its players carrying handguns by the Second Amendment. This idea is simply rubbish. The NFL can contractually obligate its players to refrain from carrying handguns without running afoul of any constitutional[..]

-- End Ad Box ---> It may seem crazy that toy guns would have legal restrictions, but airguns and other toy rifles are often made to look startlingly realistic. Kids may be confused whether they're picking up their toy or a relative's loaded real rifle lying around the house. Insolent teens may point their toy guns at a police officer in a standoff, prompting them to get shot by real guns. There is a general federal gun law for toys, but the misuse of these weapons has prompted several local municipalities to create legislation of their own. Under federal gun law, airsoft guns must be manufactured with a 6 mm orange tip at the barrel end. The packaging must inform consumers that[..]

One cowardly waste of human flesh terrorized the campus of Virginia Tech. Hoping to avoid being held accountable, Cho Seung-Hui eventually took his own life. Only he forgot that there is a higher power than any court of law to which he will answer. And as his special place in Hell was being warmed up, the bodies of his victims were being counted; over thirty people dead and many more were injured. It is easy to lay the blame for the carnage at the feet of yet another lunatic. It was his actions, his choice, his evil that terrorized the campus after all. And for this act, yes he bears all responsibility. But others are not blameless. Because there are others that created the situation in[..]

These days there is more and more attention being paid to personal attacks. It seems as though even in areas that have had very low crime rates, the number or crimes is rising, and often, the seriousness and viciousness of the crimes is rising, too. Something else is rising, too. The number of people who are learning how to fight back. The interesting thing about many people who are trying to protect themselves is that they do not want to use lethal weapons, such as handguns. What many people are turning to is the use of stun guns. There are stun guns for sale in various forms. The stun guns for sale these days are innovative. There are – and most likely, always will be – stun[..]

A handgun safe is very important at keeping others from accessing your gun. Which model you get depends on who you want to keep out. If, for example, you just want to keep your kids away, then a simple defense mechanism would do the trick. If you are trying to keep burglars and others who are potentially dangerous from using it, then a much stronger build is important, because they will attempt to hack their way inside. Some hand gun safes are built more to just keep kids out, and these will be the less expensive ones. The more expensive ones are the heavy duty ones and designed to keep both out. I would strongly suggest you get the sturdiest model around, as there is always a chance[..]
