Caught a piece of a 5.56 jacket while pulling pits one afternoon. Karma's a bitch, cuz just 15 minutes earlier the same thing happened to a buddy of mine and I laughed at him for it.

Just thought I'd add my $.02 into the whole "what is the larger sight for" debate. As I was taught in the Marines, the larger sight, which we called the "Oh-Two Sight" since it has a "0-2" stamped underneath the aperature, was for rapid target engagement at ranges from zero to 200...

I'd say my state ranks somewhere between :fire: and :barf:, but the Brady's seem to think it's :D.

My initial reaction was that looks don't matter as far as practicality is concerned. But as I think about it, they may matter more than I realized. When I was in high school I was an avid golfer. I had a set of irons that I couldn't hit cleanly for the life of me. The thing was, they just...

I can honestly say I've never seen a black person at the range I frequent. I also have never seen a black person in any of the gun shops I frequent, at least not at the same time I was there. And I have been aware of that fact, being black myself (well, mixed, just like the OP actually IIRC)...

I haven't the first clue if there is any official/manufaturer's guideline regarding longevity of carry ammo. But I have personally taken to the tradition of buying a new box of carry once a year around my birthday (easy to remember). I'll shoot off all the old stuff and carry the new. Mostly...

1. I do now, always. When I first started carrying, no. 2. I'd say 80% of the time I carry my Colt Commander. When I need to REALLY conceal I'll carry my Glock 19 at appendix carry, where it disappears. 3. C&L for the Colt, N/A for the Glock.

I've never been on school property with the intent to use my firearm. I've never displayed my firearm in a threatening manner. And before you say that this would turn "printing" into a federal felony or something to that extent, consider that OPEN carry is perfectly legal in VA, therefore...

I've read this entire thread and considered both sides. I have to say I agree 100% with this law. It punishes criminals, that's a good thing. It doesn't affect law abiding citizens, that's a good thing. I see it as win-win.

No worries. I would never admit to not being 100% compliant with the safe storage law, especially not on a public internet forum.....because I am 100% compliant.....I swear, honest. But, I can tell you that I am ready and able to defend myself and my wife should the need arise. I honestly...

Are there really places where you don't have to keep your firearm locked and unloaded? I'm asking this seriously. I've spent all of my gun-owning years in Massachusetts :( and the safe storage law requires that all firearms be both locked and unloaded unless they are directly in your control...

I hope everyone realizes I was being sarcastic to try and point out how stupid this stuff is. Criminals don't open carry. Heck, criminals don't use holsters, at least not your common street thug. I can't understand why people fear someone who is open carrying.

He should have been arrested. Open your eyes people, don't you know how common it is for gang bangers to openly carry holstered Glock 40's (***?) while attending fireworks displays. I never trust someone openly carrying, ESPECIALLY if it's a custom leather holster. You show me a man that...

Mine took 3 days shy of four months. From what I gather, they send them out in batches. Several people from the various boards I frequent got theirs the same day as me, and sent them out anywhere from 2 weeks prior to 3 months prior. It almost seems like they hold on to everyone application...

First off, Semper Fi (former Marine myself). Secondly, you can get night vision for under $200 bucks, but it's complete crap Gen 1 stuff. Do a Google search for ATN Night Vision and check out their products. The cheapest ones really do suck, I owned one when I was younger. You're not gonna...

I'm suspicious of ANY knock on my door. I credit it to being a boot PFC in the barracks in the Marines. If someone knocked on your door, there was a 90% chance it was an NCO coming to stick you on a working party. Nowadays, any friends or family that come by always call ahead and I unlock the...

Use the most expensive thing you can possibly find. Just kidding, of course. But seriously, is there really, truly any difference between any of the various lubes/greases. Of course the actual chemical composition is different, but do they vary DRAMATICALLY in performance. I'm of the school...

The Parker Jotter is by far the best pen on the planet. It's about $5.00 at Wal-Mart, and I often use it for the exact purpose you stated (cutting package tape), so I can vouch that it is sturdy enough. You should definitely work through your knife issue, if you are willing, that is. I've got...

The liability definitely would be my concern as well. I won't even reload for friends. I'm more than happy to walk them through the steps so they can reload for themselves. I just really don't feel like having my potential mistake cause someone else harm.

I just realized I spent so much time putting in my $.02 that I never actually answered the original question. I carry an Colt 1991 Commander, cocked and locked, wherever I legally can.
