    I fought the law...and boy did I get lucky!

    Flagstaff is very high altitude. Pine Top / Show Low is high on my potential out-of-California destinations.

    Kahr cw45

    I got the abrasive Talon grips on my Glock subcompact .45. Been my everyday carry for 2.5 years. It is not overly aggressive in texture at all. I carry IWB with nothing between it and my skin all summer long. The first few days I was just barely tender there, and then never noticed it again...

    380 golden sabers vs hydra shocks

    Overpenetration is a serious concern of mine, and mine is a Kahr so no problem with the +P stuff, so I chose the Buffalo +P JHP.

    Mountain Lions and Guns

    I live in a sprawling city of about 90,000 in the northern tip of California's central valley. We have hundreds of miles of rural, paved trail for walking/running/biking and cats are spotted on those trails a couple times a year. I don't recall an attack reported on humans here, but dogs are...

    I was a victim of an armed robbery

    Can't say I would have done it any differently. Yeah, yeah... lock the door. Sometimes we brainfart. It happens to all of us. You probably chose correctly in not drawing, and using the opportunity to escape. You lived, and that's what matters. Glad to hear it. We can all sound like...

    Gun Control Supporters Launch Frenzied Campaign

    The 90% constantly quoted by them was a Washington Post (I believe) poll of 1000 people in their near perfect demographic. It is a VERY suspect number even at that, since they have repeatedly taken down polls that didn't reflect what they wanted and tried to manipulate reports of public...

    Taking a somewhat minimalist approach to firearms

    I prefer a combination of common & oddball. 9mm and 45GAP in handgun for instance. 9mm is usually cheap and easy to find. I caught a lot of flak for the 45GAP from people who said it couldn't be easily found at WalMarts nationwide. Well, of every gun we have, guess which caliber could still...

    Concealed Carriers, do you carry spare magazines?

    6+1 .45 @ 4:00 and 2 10 round mags in front left pocket more as ballast weight than anything. For practical use, I'd be fine with one spare but like to help balance the weight around the waist.

    Your EDC Caliber

    I'll second that (voted .45ACP since it's nearly identical). Glock 39. If my back is bothering me, I'll tote the micro .380.

    Stephen King on Guns

    I read quite a bit of King, and from his books I can tell you, he knows NOTHING about guns. I have read several times when he writes things like (in Cell), half of his head was gone from the pistol in his lap containing illegal hollow point dum-dum bullets.

    Now over 127 sheriffs won't enforce Obama's gun control laws

    Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller commented below the article that lists him saying that he did not state that and wonders how his name got on the list. Makes me wonder about the validity of that list. I'd love for it to be true, but I have trouble accepting the article when one has already...

    Dianne Feinstein to Propose New Ban On So-Called "Assault Weapons" Today at 11am EDT

    My God, I can't wait to leave this state. I just hope nobody decides to end her senate term with an "assault rifle of mass destruction." If they must, use a bow and arrow.

    What is a bullet button?

    No. Still limited to 10 rounds. If you have an "evil black rifle," you can't have a detachable magazine along with other evil features. The bullet button causes you to use a tool to change magazines, circumventing the causation of "detachable" to become ineffective, thus allowing ARs and...

    Problems with Winchester White Box?

    I have lost a barrel to a bad round of theirs (at least they paid Glock to replace it).

    European Murder Rates Compared to the United States: Demographics vs Guns

    Fear in Britain, Gallant, Hills, Kopel, Independence Institute, July 18, 2000 Comparing crime rates between America and Britain is fundamentally flawed. In America, a gun crime is recorded as a gun crime. In Britain, a crime is only recorded when there is a final disposition (a conviction). All...

    Dad poses as gunman to test school security, gets arrested

    School security in my area of Northern California is nonexistent. Many uncontrolled or even observed points of entry. I enter my kid's elementary and high schools at different points while carrying concealed all the time. At least public schools are not gun free zones here in California...

    Dont you wish all your congressmen were like this?

    This is the crap I get from my senators. So I sent her a second, more blunt email since the 1st one was obviously filed in the round bin.

    Gun Debate and Proposals

    I'm all for true compromise... not the kind of compromise we've been getting for 100 years. I'd be very willing to help curb the traffic of guns into criminal hands in exchange for something back. Maybe as big as the NFA, or something as small as restrictions on short-barrel rifles and...
