I was at the range on Saturday. The rules say no military style clothing, unless you are ACTUALLY in the military. This includes camo. No police style clothing, unless you ACTUALLY are a police officer. It's called respect for those in uniform. I have to agree, I hate the "men" who "play soldier" with guns and fatigues, but wouldn't dare step into a recruiting office.
Several times at the range, those types tried to gain entry and were denied. A fist fight actually broke out and a gun was drawn by one of them. Ridiculous. You'd shoot someone over dress codes that respect those who serve.
There is a "no smoking" policy that was cause for ejection of several. It's very hard to concentrate with smoke all around you.
I never saw such an unruly crowd as this weekend. Do you think this is the "typical" shooter or did we just happen to get all the jerks this weekend? Thanks.

I am heading to a gun show this weekend to pick up a 12 gauge pump action. I don't want anything fancy just a basic gun. However I do want a known quality brand. I want an all purpose gun for mostly shooting clay, but not for home defense. Also, something easy to clean and maintain. Can you please make a recommendation on what gun and barrel length? Also, what should I expect to pay? Thanks

I'm 24 and going hunting for the first time in my life. I purchased a CVA muzzleloader from a friend for $50 and it includes everything I need to get started. As far as safety goes, how more or less dangerous are muzzle loaders compared to conventional bullet rifles?

A friend of mine had a nephew that used a gun to kill himself several years ago. Its been in storage at his sisters house ever since, and the family wants to get rid of it. Of course practically, they could try and sell it, but because of the history they don't feel emotionally able to do that. Does anyone know of another option? We live in Utah, so I suppose there may be legalities involved. Any help is much appreciated.

With the death toll already reaching over 140 deaths to occur to climbers attempting to reach the summit and rescruers and the fact the enviromental future is uncertain for the Everest area I now see that there is a race to be the oldest to sumit the deadly mountain. Why don't they close the mountain to climbers and save individuals from a sure death? 70+ year old individuals climbing Mount Everest should be allowed?

OK, why do they have to disply that on espn but it's ok to have every other show on normal tv to have graphic violents without warnings! Shows how much impact antis have on hunting.

I just started bow hunting this year. The past few times I have been hunting all of the deer have seen me almost before I see them. I am at least 15 feet up in a tree, and I stay very still in quiet, what is my problem?

I would like to go camping this spring, but instead of a lodge or cabin, use a tent. I live near Pensacola, FL and don't really want to travel more than 300 miles. Thanks!

Moving to Philadelphia, would like to buy a handgun to keep in the house, probably get carry & conceal license.

I am planning on going to the shooting range, taking the classes, etc.

What would your suggestions be for a first time buyer?

I realize that these are two different rounds, but I don't really know anything about the .45 colt. I have a Glock model 21 that uses .45 ACP. How does .45 ACP and .45 Colt compare ballistically?

Thanks!

I am considering refinish the coating and metal work for my gun, but don't know which kind of treatment is more durable. I am trying to find some local gun shops that do the refinishing and coatings. Which kind of finish is better? Bluing or Parkerizing? How about the price difference?
And, is all the coating the same? I don't want the paint to flake or wear off easily.
