    Oddball guns you liked and wish you had kept . . .

    I had a Lorcin 380 that was ridiculously accurate. I had one session where I shot a hole at 7 yards that looked like one .45 cal bullet. Never seen anything like it. Was reliable too. I gave it to my little brother, he still has it I think.

    Don't plan for them to run

    A buddy of mine and his partner were serving a warrant on the house of this deranged geezer. It was a trailer home, so the patio was built up. Long story short one of the cops knocked on the door, the other was off to the side, down and away from the door, maybe 10 feet or so. The geezer opened...

    Gun Store Robbery

    http://www.click2houston.com/news/police-looking-for-3-gunmen-who-robbed-spring-pawn-shop-stole-30-guns/30715108 One thing that seems to be on the rise is the assailants going into gun stores and taking inventory. The one linked above is the 3rd in as many months in Houston. The reason that I...

    Don't plan for them to run

    One of the reasons I posted this is because of the idea that many have, for the most part I am included in this, that the badguys will run once rounds start popping off in their direction. Certainly once the badguys know that the homeowner is armed the dynamic of the gunfight changes and since...

    Best movies for gun enthusiasts

    Blood Diamond The Shootist Battleship I have to say that in the movie Cloud Atlas, there is a gun fight that takes place, the one in 1970, it only last a few seconds when the cars wreck... The gritty realism of those few seconds trump most other movies I have seen.

    "France-Style Attack Would’ve Been Worse in US Because Guns"

    If it bleeds.... It leads... I have a problem taking seriously the opinion of people who would be out of business if crime went down appreciably. Hell, we have been living years in a massive fall in crime, so the news reporters just import stories. Now if someone is shot in LA, it makes the...

    What can we learn from history?

    It is worth noting that Wild Bill Hickok, and others, eschewed the new cartridge fed weapons of the day in favor of his cap and ball revolvers. There is a lot to be said for holding on to what you know and what has worked for you. The 1985 Miami shootout had nothing to do with the police...

    9mm and White Tail

    I do not disagree. My point is that "what works" is now 7mm mags and 338 winchesters; when in the past it was 30-30's and 44-40s and 38-40s. I do not recommend people use anything but bona fide deer rifle in the appropriate caliber. I am sure that you have seen younger hunters that come in the...

    Tactics of living in gun control zones

    In leadsounsels defense, here (in the US) the news is reporting that the hostiles had fully auto AK47, body armor, and an RPG. It might be because of their agenda, or something, but that is what they are saying. Whether it is true or not, is another factor all together.

    9mm and White Tail

    I don't think that is a fair statement. Knowing the WHY of, in this case the 9mm working i.e. 5" barrel, .38 caliber rnd, shot placement, distance, is very important. Let's be honest, knowing the capability of the weapons in your arsenal, and more importantly, how they can be used for...

    9mm and White Tail

    It looks like the weapon used had a 5" barrel, which would have contributed to increase in velocity and down range power/penetration. That being said, I have no problem with using a .38/.357 or 9mm or other handgun/carbine for harvesting animals provided that shot placement, range, and...

    Tactics of living in gun control zones

    I guess this is proof that we see what we want to see. Moving in pairs, like they were is military/tactical. Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment (SALUTE) That video IS what I would do. That gave command more insight in to who these guys where, what their capabilities are, and...

    Training with your current nightstand weapon(s).

    +1 lazyfuerza I have a Rossi .357 snub shooting 38 critical defense rounds. I also have a pair of electronic ear muffs next to the .357 that I slip on. The Wife has a Rossi snub .38 loaded with critical defense rounds, as well as electronic ear muffs. I have a 12gauge Smith 3000, unloaded...

    Video Link to the recorded part of the shooting: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bc6_1420632668 To underscore Trent's points, these guys are moving together, offering independent targets; they are using "cover" in their movement; they are not spraying rounds, but aiming. To make matters more...

    Is your reason for owning guns evolving?

    Interesting question. I think like many, I owned weapons for hunting in the beginning. In that vein I owned an 870 12 gauge and a Winchester 30-30. The Winchester was the first gun my dad ever bought, which put me in a collector role relatively quickly. That is how much of my collection...
