This is one of the forum sections here that I visit the least, and I think that some of that has to do with the fact that it simply doesn't show up all the time on the board index for me. Is this happening for anyone else, or is my computer just crazy?

My guess is your login cookie is expring, IIRC the gun forum is hidden to non registered users.

I think that's it, I just logged out and no Firearms section, then logged in and there it is. What's the reasoning behind that?

"Just a very quick note to let you know that we have made the firearms section private again so that only registered members can see it (like on the old forum) - both because of privacy, security and the fact that this section does sometimes uninentionally become 'political' (though we discourage this aspect wherever possible)."
Paul's announcement about the fact in November of last year.

This is a fun forum, its nice to see some Internet firearms discussion that's not dominated by the sort of wannabe hardmen and armchair survivalists who pollute most 'serious' firearms forums; plus we've got a couple of sho-nuff experts here and it's always fun to hear what they have to say about stuff. Leave it to sword collectors to be the voice of reason when it comes to guns. Ambivalent about it being members only, no doubt Paul has his reasons and considering how gun rights are a major controversy in every nation that allows open dialog its not hard to take a guess.

100% agree with you, this is a unique forum in that people generally strive to be nice and positive, and it's the reason that I post here. That, and I love me some swords. It never struck me that the Firearms section would be members only, but I can see why with the political associations that may spring up from discussions. Thanks for helping me get that figured out, Bogus!
