It's been a year or so since I did one of these, so it's about time I did it again.

Rules of engagement:

DO - Ask me anything you want, if it's illegal I'll say it is and I won't expand upon it other than what section of the prison it will get you in.

DO NOT - Discuss virtues of counterstrike/call of duty/etc. I deal with real people and real problems.

DO - Be nice to everyone asking questions in this thread. There are no stupid questions here.

DO NOT - Belittle anyone elses question.

Street cred: NRA certified instructor, gun nut since I turned 18, manufacturer and retailer of firearms, machineguns and silencers. I'm also a certified Glock and Sig Sauer Armorer.

Ask away!

What leads one to become a "gun nut?"

Have you gone through a thorough psychological examination?

Question one: Assuming the owner is willing to take time to train and practice, what is the best style of gun for home defense?

Question two: What is a good rifle for plinking if one wants to use non-lead (steel or other non-hazardous) ammo? For the same use, which rifle has the lowest maintenance requirements?

You manufacture silencers?

Got any info, tips or links to sites that explain how they are made etc?

Also how much they cost, and the costs of necessary permits

TIA

if I wanted a gun to take camping and plink cans, what's the least expensive option? If wanted to take a gun for small animal hunting (on foot, we don't need no stinking ATVs or cars where I go), what's my best option?

Why are PTR-91 / H&K-91 magazines so cheap, sometimes selling for $5 or less each; but FN/FAL mags are in the in the $20 price range.

Since the FN has been used by so many militaries all over the world, why are FN mags so expensive? Why cant we just import them from some third world country to get the price down.

In your opinion, are those recoil pads you put between the slide and the receiver worth it?
