Granted, quite a number of our states include a class on the law during their gun licensing classes but, given time constraints, this is often just a brief coverage of the subject.

Everyone wants an MP5, but nobody wants to pay HK prices. Here, we go over the top 5 MP5 clones that won’t break the bank.Real MP5s from Heckler & Koch are full-auto, and very few of us are lucky enough to be able to afford a genuine transferable example. While much less expensive, even the semi-auto versions made by H&K are unfortunately out of most shooters’ price range.

Martin’s teams responded with what ended up being a pretty radical design: short wings for speed, a beefy streamlined fuselage, and two massive…

Some firearms, like the Lignose pistol, have very different manuals-of-arms. I found a pistol while going through the effects of a deceased relative, wrapped carefully in a white cloth. The relative was a World War II veteran who lived alone and kept to himself, according to other relatives. In going through his effects, it was like going back into history almost 100 years ago. Though I never met him, I almost feel like I knew him, having gone through the items he carefully preserved and left behind. Since I am the gun person of the family, I was given the…

At less than one-third the age of Swiss Army knife originator Victorinox, Tim Leatherman’s eponymous company is renowned amongst the EDC cognoscenti as the go-to source for reliable do-it-all (often plier-powered) products that last a lifetime. This is kinda a big deal, and you will hear about it from many sources. Read the whole thing at GearPatrol.com   Read the full article here
