safety
Safety is the state of being "safe" (from French sauf), the condition of being protected against physical, social, spiritual, financial, political, emotional, occupational, psychological, educational, or other types or consequences of failure, damage, error, accidents, harm, or any other event that could be considered non-desirable. Safety can also be defined to be the control of recognized hazards to achieve an acceptable level of risk. This can take the form of being protected from the event or from exposure to something that causes health or economical losses. It can include protection of people or of possessions.
So a new group has been formed for gun control in 2018 called "State of Safety". I only found out about them yesterday on a radio advertisement. They make the same old "just want an honest, evidence backed common sense approach to gun safety" blah blah blah.

Pay very close attention to the mentions of Firearms, very vague broad strokes ones again.
The House just passed a bill, without a hearing, that would reclassify dozens of federal crimes like fleeing and burglary as...
There's a guy selling what he claims is a model 361 Galil, very desirable pre ban gun. He's asking about $1,000 dollars less than it would be worth on Gunbroker. So I message him to buy it, but I ask for more pictures of the receiver markings because the picture he had didn't look normal. In the...

I purchased this new last year. I'd guess about 500 rounds through her. All brass, factory new ammo only. Always maintained after every range trip. Not a single failure.
Comes with used 9MM Shield in original box and lock (un opened lock)
Installed are TRUGLO Tritium Night Sights (original...
My father passed away a few years ago and I inherited a miniature arsenal, guns, knives, etc. To be honest I haven't really WANTED to think about all this. I do own guns myself, but they were all purchased new, they aren't heirlooms by any stretch of the imagination.
Is there a good place I...
My wife and I just took the pay 101 class at the Clackamas range yesterday. (Both passed). During the class the subject of drop safety came up. All modern handguns should not accidentally fire if dropped. One of the guns we have purchased in the last few months is a ruger lcp 2. In the owners...
