Though only shooting will tell for sure, our build is going well. The shooting part is getting appreciably closer, too, as this week we add the gas system to our short/light rifle. Right out of the chute, we offer a proviso: Gas systems are a good way to start a fistfight. There are lots of opinions about what is optimum, and the underlying reasons for choices are both serpentine and interrelated. That’s not a dodge: The truth is that “correct” is a continuum in this case, not “my way or the highway.”

With the election of Donald Trump as our president, gun rights advocates are getting all fired up at the possibility of a national concealed carry reciprocity bill. Carrying a concealed weapon has long been regulated by the individual states. In New York or Illinois, it is almost impossible to get a permit to carry a concealed weapon, while in Arizona, every citizen has the right to carry concealed. Most of the other states fall somewhere in between. Utah, Idaho and Florida issue fairly large numbers of concealed carry permits. California issues concealed carry permits at the discretion of the local police chief or sheriff. |
