What if ... ... krochus; To me, I view the SHTF text as What if training. Often times the subject matter deals with a situation, real or hyped-up-thetical but some of the stories are very realisitc situations and I usually learn something or at least they get me thinking. It's not much...

Beethoven; a related question.. ... I think the number of people that openly carry answers your question in a rehtorical sense. I don't know of any stats but here in Colorado where open carry is almost 'advertised', I rarely see or notice open carry. To me that proves a point in the comfort...

Scenerio training .. .. :uhoh: I have experienced some first hand training exercises like that and you ask a valid question. As another post-er suggested, get on the mats a play a little. In close quarter combat, the edged weapon within 21 feet is a very real threat. Use the backside of...

Not my typical method; :) I don't regret this but I'm usually more disciplined in my methods of research and shopping. I have a SIG P-239 .40 and I'd have clocked more time and experience in shooting various guns and ammo to spec my best performance and gone from there. Like they all say...

Texas Laws .. .. :scrutiny: self defense debate ka50 Texas is cited often in terms of gun laws and various instances using lethal force. Also mentioned often and more to the point is knowing the local laws of your area with regard to use of force. To me, the term Deadly Force in the...

You are right on track.. ... anthillsinrome Maybe you just need to hear responses that confirm what you already know. Being a victim can easily make one angry. I t seems as though she is living her life in denial of her past experience. Did she get help or counseling ?? I hope she did not...

Shopping for trouble.. .. :scrutiny: I think if that same situation played out today, all his ranting about cleaning up the streets and ethnic targeted degradation would have him behind bars. His demeanor and attitude sounds like it played largely on his actions and pre-meditation. For him...

Playing Qwik Draw I worked for an Armored Money Transport Company for a few years and I could hardly believe the stories I heard but they had to be true because I heard the same stories from many different people. After all the firearms training, safety, legal and otherwise, guys used to play...

ajax & the plastic guns In reference to the word '-ate' (that I show as a bleep), and the fact that you never used it but were called out on it anyway; Is it any wonder that NEWS STORIES (reporters) get so discombobulated with facts getting in the way of a good story or debate ??

No purty guns fer Monkeylegs mom in law At first thought, I'd picture her with a gloss black snubnose revolver and pearl white grips for the quaint artsy fartsy downtown appeal. However, like you suggested, she'll need to know in her mind she will defend herself with opposing deadly force if...

Your trade in ?? Did you trade a wife in for all these ?? If so, you may be missing a wife....maybe not missing but, , , you know absent,, yeah that's it !!:D

Make the deal I just picked up a Subaru FWD that gets 30 + mpg from a friend for a steal...$550. That's what friends are for. And if it blows up in my hand, I'm going to sue him.. ... ..:D

what would you do ?? That was poor judgement as a no-brainer for shooting that snatcher IF the story goes as is. I'd hate to be the ONE person that could ID the shooter and be faced with the decision of turning him in BUT... anyone who has met the standards (and deserves) attaining a Carry...

If she must stay; Then have her watch Man On Fire 3 times a day. If she can't get a gun there, show her how to build one. Again, appeal to her sense of duty and mission work. . . she'll be around to do lots of that , , , contingent on self-preservation.

I agree with Darth Ruger... The mission work is a terrific way to be pro-active helping others but being pro-active should not exclude personal safety. I'd revisit other mission opportunities that exist and take an immediate and evasive U-turn. I cannot imagine my wife or kids in a situation...

scanners.. .. The newer scanners ($400 and up), that cover the digitized systems are indeed nice when you have the time and inclination to monitor. I find the Police Blotter offers a way to review the archived text of calls and it's easier for me to sift through the calls. BTW; Lots of DUI...

I'm not real well read in the gun publications but have always been interested in the 'armed citizen' stories. I'm wondering how many cities have a web-link to their local Police as we do in Colorado. The Police Blotter offers public information in summarized format of all local police calls...

Rockrivr's new lady; Yeah... you need to educate her a bit on the points of guns / carry / etc.. I don't think it is realistic to hold someone accountable even though it may seem "common sense". If she indeed is a 'blabbermouth' about stuff in general, I have little doubt it would be...

first time shoot'n I went to Chicago with my folks when I was 10 or so to visit family. Uncle Harry took us to an indoor range (my dad, and cousins). I shot a .22 pistol and a ? rifle. The most vivid memory was the pull on the .22 being so slight it surprised me when it went off. It served...

a bad choice If I had surrendered my rifle and BG has the knife, (I don't see that happening, I'd back away and give my wallet as an escape option for BG), I should know the cc gun draw will generally not beat an edged weapon response at close quarter range. I've put my life in BG's hands and...
