From: [d--tz--u] at [teleport.com] (David Putzolu) Newsgroups: rec.guns,rec.hunting,talk.politics.guns,talk.answers,rec.answers,news.answers Subject: [FAQ] rec.guns FAQ Pointer Followup-To: rec.guns Date: 1 May 1996 21:25:27 -0700 Summary: This posting contains a pointer to the anonymous FTP site that contains the rec.guns FAQ, the WWW server for the rec.guns FAQ, and a list of the topics covered in the files/documents at those sites. Instructions are included that describe how those without FTP access can use email to get to the files at the rec.guns FTP server site. Archive-name: rec-guns-FAQ-pointer Posting-Frequency: Bi-Monthly Last-Modified: 1995/05/01 URL: http://www.teleport.com/FAQ/RecGuns.shtml Lynx, the program I used to create the text version of the FAQ, has started to output an ugly "references" trailer to each page it generates. As a result, the table of contents below is somewhat hard to read. If anyone knows how to make lynx stop, please let me know! Lots of new articles. Note that I'm about 3 weeks behind at the moment in responding to new FAQ email - please have patience! Summary: The rec.guns FAQ is at: http://www.teleport.com/~dputzolu/ or you can use: http://www.teleport.com/FAQ/RecGuns.html Detailed Info: What follows is the pointer to the rec.guns FAQ. Due to its near encyclopedic proportions, it was decided that the FAQ not be posted in its entirety, but instead just this pointer to the FAQ would be posted periodically. The rec.guns FAQ is now primarily available via the WWW. Graphical browsers are available for most major platforms. Also available are text-based browsers for those only having text based access. Check in news.answers for the World Wide Web FAQ for more information about this excellent hypertext system. The rec.guns FAQ is also available via anonymous FTP. For those of you that do not have FTP access, instructions as to how to use email to have parts of the FAQ automatically sent to you are included at the end of this posting. ****************************************************************** * The rec.guns FAQ is available via WWW at the URLs: * * http://www.teleport.com/~dputzolu/ * * http://www.teleport.com/FAQ/RecGuns.html * * #### If you have access to the WWW, please use this site! #### * * #### It is *much* easier to use than the FTP site! #### * * Also found here are firearm image, sound, and target archives. * ****************************************************************** * The rec.guns FAQ can also be found on the rec.guns FTP server, * * flubber.cs.umd.edu (128.8.128.99) in the directory /rec/FAQ * * If you wish to retrieve all of the documents of the FAQ in * * one fell swoop, get rgFAQ.tar.Z from this directory. * * Note that this file is 1 MB in length! * ****************************************************************** In order to allow people to download parts of the FAQ at the granularity of single articles, each article appears in a separate file on the FTP server mentioned above. The filename of each article is made up of the section in the FAQ where it is found, followed by a period and the suffix ".txt" Thus, the article in the section III. Firearm Information by Type C. Semi-Automatic Pistols 2. Models and Manufacturers a. 1911A1 2. Where to get Information on Gunsmithing would be found in the file /rec/FAQ/IIIC2a2.txt Hopefully this will please the MS-DOS people, as well as make filenames faster to type. Note that the outline of all of the subjects covered can be found in the file FAQ1 in the same directory. _Note:_ I've started to find firearms resources which are only available via WWW. As such, I _cannot_ provide text-only copies at the FTP site. Each article that is only available via the WWW will have the phrase "Available via WWW Only!" appended to it in my table of contents. There is still a ton of stuff missing from this FAQ. If you feel comfortable writing about one of the missing topics, please email me! David M.

Introduction B. FAQ Organization, etc. by David Putzolu ([d--tz--u] at [cs.uiuc.edu]) This is the FAQ for rec.guns. It is organized in a hierarchical outline form with a list of the topics at the beginning. This FAQ is a compilation of the writings by various of the people in the rec.guns forum. If you have any questions that the FAQ does not answer, please post a message to rec.guns and you will find lots of helpful, friendly people willing to reply. If you feel that the FAQ contains incorrect FACTUAL information, (example: the number of cartridges a Beretta 92FS standard magazine contains) please contact the maintainer, David Putzolu, at [d--tz--u] at [cs.uiuc.edu.] Include the section that the error is in as well as the context of the error. If you disagree with some of the arguments in regards to areas that are a matter of opinion (example: is a 9mm or .45 better for defensive use?) or find the arguments to be incomplete, you must provide a complete re-write of the area in question, which, in any case, may or may not be included, depending on the judgement of the maintainer and possibly other individuals. Your other option, of course, is to post an article on rec.guns on the subject, and if you find sufficient support to change the FAQ then it will be changed.

References 1. news:rec.guns I. Introduction D. Basic Gun Safety by Christian J. van den Branden Lambrecht ([v d b] at [ltssg3.epfl.ch]) Well I guess everybody knows all this perfectly but it is always good to review these things even if it looks like the first pages of every gun instruction manual. Please remember that nothing here should be seen as legal advice. Everything is disclaimed. Before buying or even handling a gun, one has to realize that it is something different than any other object in the sense that a gun can cause serious injury or death. Handling a gun makes you responsible for what happens with it at that time. If you own a gun, you are undertaking full responsibility for safety and security at all times. This means that you have to ensure that you or other people using your gun with your consent handle it properly. You have to make sure that nobody can steal or use your firearm without your consent. _The actual rules are:_ Always treat a gun as if it were loaded until you visually check it out. Never point your firearm in any direction you do not intend to shoot. In particular, never point your gun in the direction of other people. Always have your gun pointed in a safe direction. Before handling a firearm, understand how it works. Do not assume that a gun is secure, i.e. some guns have excellent security systems to prevent accidental firing (e.g. when dropped), others don't. Do not put your finger on the trigger unless you are ready to shoot. Keep your firearm unloaded when you are not using it. Never pass your firearm to anybody until you have checked that it is unloaded. If you have to carry your gun loaded, always point it in a safe direction (e.g. the ground). Never carry your gun with the hammer cocked. You should store your firearm and ammunition in separate locked places. Pay particular attention that no child has access to the gun. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it. If you own a gun for home defense, most of these safety rules will be violated. However in some countries, home defense can be important. You will then probably store your gun loaded in a place that you can quickly reach if you feel you are threatened. In this case, be really sure that it is unaccessible to children. Buy then the safest possible gun for this purpose. When choosing a handgun for home defense, revolvers are a good choice because they are much safer than semi auto pistols. If you are not very familiar with handguns or do not practice a lot, you should go for a revolver. Their drawback is lower capacity. Among semi autos, Glock are good defense guns due to their safety mechanism, making them much safer than any other semi auto, and their high capacity. [_Maintainer_: Note that there is a more comprehensive section in V. Defensive uses of firearms that can be found later in the rec.guns FAQ. Furthermore, a good overview of purchasing a handgun can be found in the article 'I.I. A Handgun Primer for Novices' as well as in section 'V.E. Picking a Self-Defense Firearm/Ammunition. Finally, there is an entire section of this FAQ just devoted to Gun Safety and Security - see section 'XIII. Safety and Security'] References 1. file://localhost/home/dputzolu/pub/OutV.html 2. file://localhost/home/dputzolu/pub/II.html 3. file://localhost/home/dputzolu/pub/OutVe.html 4. file://localhost/home/dputzolu/pub/OutXIII.html I. Introduction F. The most common FAQ on rec.guns: I am thinking of buying a gun... what should I buy/do? by the Moderator of Rec.Guns ([m--gn--m] at [cs.umd.edu]) You will get much advice from others on the net who read your post. But what seems to be the best advice we can give you, in my opinion, is to get enough info so you can make an informed choice yourself. This is not only a consumer issue, but also a safety issue. Before you buy, I strongly encourage you to take a basic firearms safety class, such as the NRA Personal Protection course. I suggest the NRA class in particular because it is generally of very high quality, at comparatively low cost (e.g., my wife and I, who are both certified NRA instructors, offer this at our cost of materials); many classes offered commercially, on the other hand, offer far less comprehensive a syllabus, and charge much more. The NRA class not only covers the basics of operation in a firearm, but safety issues in use, storage, transportation and cleaning. We also bring in both a lawyer and an officer to discuss both legal and practical issues related to use of a firearm in self defense. Its a great way to get a lot of questions answered! In general, we encourage people to take this course *before* purchasing a firearm, since it can help you make up your mind about even *whether* to purchase. But also, by being more informed about use and operation, you can't help but be a better consumer when you go shop. Many people find that some firearms felt comfortable in their hand while they were absolute novices; but once they learned the proper way to handle the firearm, other models or configurations become preferred. Finally, by getting hooked up with other knowledgeable shooters (who take or teach the class) you can often try out many different types of firearms, to help you decide which you like. You wouldn't invest in a car without a test drive; don't invest in a firearm you've never driven either. These same people can help you find safe and economical places to shoot, that is important to help you stay safe and proficient with the firearm if you choose to buy. Please feel free to ask all the followup questions you like; safety is that important to us here. Also let us know of your experiences, and give us feedback on how to best help the next novice who inquires. Welcome aboard -- stay safe -- _MODERATOR, rec.guns_ I. Introduction G. Why should I join the NRA? by Don Baldwin ([d--b] at [tamri.com]) Dear fellow shooter, I asked to write this part of the FAQ because I thought that having a liberal Democrat advocate joining the NRA would make a point regarding our firearms rights and the preservation thereof: that we're all in this together and that we had all better do as much as we can do protect those rights, NOW! The NRA is a very controversial organization in some circles and has taken a lot of heat from both sides of the gun debate. Some pro-gunners are contemptuous of its compromises, while gun control advocates call it inflexible for NOT compromising. Whatever your view, it is a sure thing that if the NRA did not exist today, we would now be living under gun laws as bad as those in Great Britain and similar countries. "Needs-based" licensing, registration, arbitrary bans on whatever is called the criminals' "weapon of choice" by those seeking to make easy political points at the expense of law-abiding citizens, storage requirements that make defense use practically impossible...these are the laws we would almost certainly be living under today, if the NRA did not exist. Since becoming active in the area of gun rights, I have read a bit about some of the charges made against the "inflexible" NRA...that they oppose all gun control laws, that they specifically opposed laws banning "cop killer" cartridges. The fact is that the NRA proposed an Instant Background check as a better alternative to the Brady Bill's waiting period but that proposal was turned down by the gun control advocates, despite the fact that a background check could block some sales of guns to criminals and waiting periods could not. I have also found out that the NRA _supported_ the law banning "cop killer" bullets, once that law was refined to the point where it would not ban ordinary hunting cartridges. Aside from their political advocacy of gun rights, the NRA also provides a number of valuable community services: gun safety materials and classes, shooting competitions and criminal justice reform policy suggestions that would punish violent criminals HARD. Today, the media and opportunistic politicians are attacking gun rights and the NRA as never before. Please join the NRA today and help make sure that they do not get their way! _Don Baldwin_ _________________________________________________________________ _[Maintainer: Go directly to the NRA Web Page, or call the NRA Membership Division at (800) 672-3888.] _ References 1. mailto:[d--b] at [tamri.com] 2. http://www.nra.org/ 3. http://www.nra.org/ I. Introduction H. I Don't Have FTP Capability - can I use Email to get FAQ Articles? by Lance ?, Relayed by Dave Aronson If you have e-mail access to the internet, you can get access to any ftp site via e-mail from these two 'ftp via e-mail' servers: * [f t pmail] at [decwrl.dec.com] * [f t pmail] at [sunsite.unc.edu] Here's a help file (on teetot.acusd.edu, as /pub/Beelzebub/FTP_via_Internet_Mail). How To Receive Documents from an FTP Archive via Internet MAIL I have had several requests for documents from the archive at: flubber.cs.umd.edu from people that DO NOT have anonymous ftp access. There is a server at: [f t pmail] at [decwrl.dec.com] that can accept "batch" ftp requests from you and then return the documents bac k to you via internet mail. The general way to communicate with this server is as follows: mail [f t pmail] at [decwrl.dec.com] Subject: . . . quit To get a list of commands and some information about this service: mail [f t pmail] at [decwrl.dec.com] Subject: help quit Let's say that you wanted to get a list of all the files available in the FAQ directory on flubber: mail [f t pmail] at [decwrl.dec.com] Subject: connect flubber.cs.umd.edu chdir /rec/FAQ/ dir quit Suppose you wanted to get the following files from my archive at flubber.cs.umd.edu: /rec/faq/FAQ1 /rec/faq/rgFAQ.tar.Z do the following: mail [f t pmail] at [decwrl.dec.com] Subject: connect flubber.cs.umd.edu chdir /rec/FAQ get FAQ1 get rgFAQ.tar.Z quit After a while you should get a response similar to this: From: "ftpmail service on ftp-gw-1.pa.dec.com" To: [l w b] at [cs.utexas.edu] Subject: your ftpmail request has been received We processed the following input from your mail message: connect flubber.cs.umd.edu chdir /rec/FAQ get FAQ1 get rgFAQ.tar.Z quit We have entered the following request into our job queue as job number 746315939.01678: connect flubber.cs.umd.edu anonymous - ftpmail/[l w b] at [cs.utexas.edu] reply [l w b] at [cs.utexas.edu] chdir /rec/FAQ get FAQ1 get rgFAQ.tar.Z There are 463 jobs ahead of this one in our queue. You should expect the results to be mailed to you within a day or so. We try to drain the request queue every 30 minutes, but sometimes it fills up with enough junk that it takes until midnight (Pacific time) to clear. Note, however, that since ftpmail sends its files out with "Precedence: bulk", they receive low priority at mail relay nodes. Note that the "reply" or "answer" command in your mailer will not work for this message or any other mail you receive from FTPMAIL. To send requests to FTPMAIL, send an original mail message, not a reply. As shown in the header of this message, complaints should be sent to the [f t pmail admin] at [ftp-gw-1.pa.dec.com] address rather than to postmaster, since our postmaster is not responsible for fixing ftpmail problems. There is no way to delete this request, so be sure that it has failed before you resubmit it or you will receive multiple copies of anything you have requested. There is no way to ask for only certain parts of a file to be sent. If you receive output from ftpmail that seems to be missing some parts, it is likely that some mailer between here and there has dropped them. You can try your request again, but chances are fairly good that if it is dropped once it will be dropped every time. There is no way to specify that your request should be tried only during certain hours of the day. If you need a file from a time-restricted FTP server, you probably cannot get it via ftpmail. Ftpmail was written by Paul Vixie at the DEC Western Research Laboratory and at the DEC Network Systems Laboratory, from 1989-1993. -- Ftpmail Submission Transcript -- >> Connect to flubber.cs.umd.edu as anonymous with - >>> ftpmail/[l w b] at [cs.utexas.edu] >> Will chdir to before I do anything >>> else >> get FAQ1 >> get rgFAQ.tar.Z >> Done - rest of message will be ignored >>> checking security of host `flubber.cs.umd.eduedu' >>> host `flubber.cs.umd.edu' has IP addr [128.8.128.99] >>> host `flubber.cs.umd.edu' is ok -- End of Ftpmail Transcript -- etc...
