    Israel's Military Phases Out The Uzi

    Best Improvised Home Self Defense?

    When I lived downtown.... I kept a scottish short sword and a 4 cell maglite next to my bed. This was the appartment where I had some dude come around trying to sell drugs door to door.

    Thinking of joining the Air Force...

    4 years in a few days... I think these gentlemen have it mostly pinned down, I just have a little to add 1. Study for the ASVAB. I know that sounds half stupid, it's an easy test, but the higher you score on it the more options are open to you, and it's always a good thing to have options...

    Armed gunman loose in House office building in DC

    I don't even know where to start. I'm a medical x-ray technican by training, the thought of mistaking a plastic toy gun for a real one is ludicrous. First of all the shape would be nothing similar under x-ray. Second the densities wouldn't be close, metal under x-ray lights up like noon, plastic...

    The Newest Home Defense tool...

    Not what I thought it was when I first saw it, but certianly cool. Sparked a thought though, is anyone out there producing a digital camera that could mount to the barell of a shotgun (sort of like a flashlight) that would film whenever your tactical light was on? Benefit being that if you...

    Thanks Number 6 and larryw, thanks for the links, they look like they'll be really helpful. I had considdered just buying my kid brother a pistol and giving it to him as a gift, now I'm not so sure, it'll take some research to see if that'll be legal. Thanks again for the replies. USAFA

    Mideast Peace Around the Corner, Thanks to Jennifer & Brad

    Rich, too rich... I have a feeling I'm going to be chortoling over this one for months. I can just hear the thought going through their collective heads "Well, if Arnold can go down in history as the Govenor of California..." Now we just need to compile a list of "stars" we'd like to see over...

    Once saw a disagreement end rather quickly after dude #1 threw a Zippo into the face of dude #2 and then proceeded to kick his testicles into his tonsils.

    Money Hideaway Belts

    This is what I use http://www.gunbroker.com/auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=13001696 The gentleman who makes these is very helpful, the belt exceded my expectations, and it's thick enough and wide enough that it supported my Ruger P89 (not a light pistol by any means) IWB very comfortably. I...

    Help with a letter...

    My kid brother asked me for advice, he's moving into his first apartment on his own soon and since I'm the gun nut in the family he wanted to know what he should get for home defense. The following book is my reply. If I have any of my facts wrong or if you can think of a better way of saying it...

    Advice please...

    I'm planning on suggesting that he look first at a shotgun, despite the fact that he specificly asked about handguns. I'm also going to highly recomend that he take a NRA course with whatever he gets and make it to the range at least monthly to knock the rust off. But I doubt a 18 year old...

    Advice please...

    My kid brother back in California is moving out, getting his own place, and has recently asked me for advice on what kind of handgun I'd get for home defense. I'm going to recomend any revolver in a respectable caliber, but I'm curious as to what y'alls thoughts are. I'm not a big revoler...

    Dark House? A Little Light? Your Thoughts

    There's a long hallway from my living room (where the door is) to my bedroom (where my shotgun is). When I go to bed the living room is reasonably well lit (one lamp stays on) so anyone comming down that hallway at night makes a really NICE silouhette, just like shooting at paper. Just how I...

    A Letter From Ed Kennedy

    I like the idea of sending them a copy of your check to the NRA, but what might be more fun is to send them the actual check and then see if they cash it. What's the penalty for cashing a check not made out to you?
