I’m looking for a less gung-ho and money-hungry organization that preferably focuses more on C&R weapons, for I focus on older Russian military firearms, such as the Mosin-Nagant 1891/30 and it’s many variants. A group that doesn’t involve it’s self much in politics would be nice as well. Any suggestions?
By the way, I’m stuck in California, so no state-specific ones, please.
Is there any way of being employed part time in the military and recieving training in parachuting and firearms etc, whilst at an american university and studdying for a degree?
I mean if getting rid of Americas nuclear arsenal, downsizing the military and shutting down missile defence systems will somehow keep the country safe from her enemies then shouldn’t it also make sense that disarming the police and taking away their body armor would end crime?
i was charged with theft of firearm and buglary 2 . These two crimes happened at the same time and i was 15 years old. I got a differed disposition on the both of them. I am planing on going to college after i’m done with highschool, and planing on joining army reserve while im attending college. I was just wondering if my juvenile record will affect my chances of being accepted to the military. Ps. i haven’t got in trouble since ive been arrested, and i am 17 now.
For example, Glocks appear to be popular with local law enforcement, LAPD SWAT uses Kimber…
I would like to know the manufacturer, how long often firearms are replaced and what division you are referencing. Thanks!
I’m leaving for basic soon, and I wanna purchase my first firearm after. Is this possible and if so what are the stipulations? Would I have to keep my firearm in their armory…etc?
im thinking of joining the canadian armed forces. i know all of the physical requirements (2.4km in 12 minutes, etc) but im wondering how accurate a group do you need to have with the standard c7 rifle. i have hunted and shot a number of firearms but never an ar-15 style weapon.
So much for the Right to Bear Arms, right?
What ever happened to this law, regulation, travesty is more the bets word to use.
In one single action, what politicians telling military to collect all personal registered weapons did was makethe area more unsafe for those that believe in the 2nd ammendment to protect their families..
And they gave the criminals the upper hand.
Anyone remember if this loophole was altered?
Or in the event of another major disaster, will the national guard go around again and demand personl weapons?
They will have toshoot me before I give up mine!
Just went to the NRA and found this article.

i’m in the military if that helps at all
Ive been laid off now for six months and havent been able to find any work. The only people i know that are always hiring is the military. In 1999 I got an OTH from the army shortly after basic. The OTH has in no way affected whom Ive worked for, my ability to purchase and carry firearms. Will it affect me if I would be interested in rejoining a branch of the military? Thanks.
I am 23 years old, I am interested in joining the Air Force. However when I was 14 years old I was charged with terroristic threats…(basically i really f****d up, decided to call a bomb threat into school) As a result i was given probation for one year. I did not have to go to a Detention center or anything like that. I completed probation without any problems and made honor roll from there on out. My question to you all is, can i enter the Air Force, I’ve spoken to numerous recruiters and some have said yes and others no. FYI I have since then obtained my federal firearms id card, which was given as a result of me passing the federal background investigation. In other words. The FBI feels that i am allowed to own firearms. So if the military does a background check will it come up? I really want to join.
Nuclear weapons are our most important defense assets. If it becomes necesssary to use them, it is comforting to know that both Sen. McCain (military) and Gov. Palin (NRA, hunter) have extensive experience with firearms/weapons.
Obama hasn’t even shot a spitball, I’ll wager!
I am writing a paper for a course where I have to draw up a business plan. It is necessary for me to create a firm which will provide armed security for ships / cargo. I am curious which licenses would be needed to allow current/former military personnel to carry fully automatic firearms, the licenses for storage of such weapons / ammunition, as well as insurance necessary in such a case. I tried looking up the necessary licenses for Blackwater International but came up empty handed. Any help provided is appreciated.
Just now there was a boy asking if he had to have gcses to get a job, or what jobs he could do without gcses; said he was interested in firearms and the military, called himself dumb. He had some rubbish answers. I looked it up for him and now I’ve lost the question! If you see this, you CAN join the armed forces without qualifications, and they train you. That’s always been a feature of their recruitment ads. So for instance the person who said you had to have a driving licence to be a driver in the army is wrong; you can join the army and then get your driving qualification. Look on www.army.mod.uk There’s also some Connexions information sheets on all the armed forces and the police. If you don’t know about Connexions, google it, it might be quite useful.
ATM – oh thanks!!
I am an Air Force ROTC cadet/ college student and I am interested in learning how to shoot… the right way. I’m very familiar with firearms as I have grown up doing lots of hunting but I have never received any formal instruction or lessons.
I have an old Colt AR-15 at my disposal I want to know the best ways to learn about it, train with it, and learn the proper range procedures in hopes I can use it to practice qualifying with it as if it were an M-4. As I am in the Air Force, people know tons about air power but not really anything about marksmanship.
Would it be best if I purchased Marine Corps and Army marksmanship manuals and a Colt factory manual and just try to figure it our on my own or would it be better or even ethical to hire one of the NCOs from the local Marine garrison to tutor me at the local rifle range in his free time? I know the AR-15 is the civilian precursor to the modern M-4, but how similar are they mechanically and performance-wise?
I have never received any formal marksmanship or firearms training EXCEPT for a Hunter Education course.
Yes, an amendment needs to added to the Constitution prohibiting firearms. Law enforcment and Military should should be the only authorized groups authorized firearms. The 2nd Amendment is outdated and doesn’t take 21st century America into consideration. There are thousands of accidental shootings and deaths resulting from firearms in the home and hunting accidents. People say that if firearms were banned, only criminals would have them. How often does a law abiding citizen take down a criminal due to having a firearm in the house? Extremely rare situations which does not justify the need to maintain a firearm. I am sure you can find another hobby besides shooting innocent animals. There are absolutely no positives to keeping a firearm in the home. Which is more important, your firearm or the possibility of losing your kid due to an accident?
I’m talking about firearms, I was thinking about it and the browning .50 cal machine gun is all I could come up with.
my father left me a USMC issue m1911 .45 caliber handgun, with three magazines. he has killed well over 5 japanese soldiers with that gun. he was issued it in 1933, and carried it all through world war two and korea. the gun is in excellent condition.
my uncle, who served in the US army and was stationed in germany, gave me a german army issued 9mm luger, and it has two magazines. he got it off of one of the many enemy infantry he put down. gun shoots perfect, all parts are from the original era it was captured in. meaning nothing has been replaced since he took it off the enemy.
i am never getting rid of these weapons, i will pass them down to my kids when they turn of age. just out of curiosity though…how much do you think each one, magaznes included, would be worth? take a guess i dont need an exact ammount.

Need to know for legal reasons, my niece’s boyfriend is a wacko who served in Afghanistan, who has beat her, poured gas on her, aimed a military issued sniper rifle at her, and constantly threatens to blow up the house she lives in. So, is the weapons illegal, and if so, who do I contact when I do not know his last name. BTW, I have called 911 myself and local law enforcement doesn’t have the power to do anything just going by someone’s word. And, doubt seriously she will talk against him.
Who exactly would I call or contact about this? She is scared and confused, and I believe that she is scared to let someone know, but apparently the sheriff’s dept. already knows something because they mentioned it to me. They said that they cannot go by hearsay, with that said I understand. Isn’t there another source to contact?
There are plenty of references to Glock-brand firearms in rap songs. Glock, as we all know, is a company based in Austria that manufactures firearms and knives. There are also occasional references to Colt firearms, or the Military Armament Corporation, which manufactures the beloved MAC-10 pistol.
But what about other firearms manufacturers like Steyr, Benelli, Ceska Zbrojovka, FN Herstal, Kahr, Walther, Norinco, KBP, Ruger, SIG, Star Bonifacio, Tanfoglio, Taurus, Denel, Zastava, or others?
Man, there’s a whole WORLD of gunmakers out there! And many of them make awesome and powerful firearms.
Why don’t rappers refer to the full spectrum of manufacturers in their songs? Why limit themselves to Glock and MAC?
A "Glock" is NOT "a gun;" Glock is a manufacturer OF guns. For instance, a Glock 19 is a gun. "Glock" always refers to the corporation ‘Glock GmbH,’ which is the legal name of Glock firearms.
I am a 6′2 210 lb male 16 year old birthday 8/3/90. I have always admired and had tremendous respect for people in the military. I have trouble with endurance and am overweight but I can be extremely determined and can make decisions under pressure. During school testing I scored in the 99th percentile for English, I am also pretty aggressive. I am a great marksman and have a passion for firearms. I messed up during high school and will have to get my G.E.D. Will this hurt my chance for recruitment? My police record is clean other than 1 arrest when I was 14. The charges were dropped because of an illegal search and seizure. I also have a perscription for Adderall (adhd). No serous medical problems but I do see a psychiatrist but I have always been careful what I say to her. Since I know what I say will be documented and effect the rest of my life.
What service would you recommend for me? And do you think anything listed will keep me from being recruited?
Thank you for your time and opinions.
