    just how effective is OC?

    Pepperspray is just a more common term for OC (oleoresin capsicum) spray. You may sometimes hear to it referred to by a brand name such as Cap-Stun. Concerning effectiveness, that can be hard to define as it is made in different strengths. I have been sprayed directly in the face during...

    Anyone have experience with these revolvers?

    I am not knocking either gun, but asusming you are looking for a home defense/shooting for fun revolver I suggest looking around for a used K or L frame pre-lock Smith. If you look for a while, you will find a deal and have a smooth shooter for the same or less $.

    Our agency bought Simunition Glocks about 2 years ago (our duty weapons are G22s and 23s) - Done right, the training is fantastic.

    Quit crying already

    In previous elections crime control has been a significant issue. It was not in this one as the economy, energy crisis, etc., garnered far more attention. When the economy improves, look for other issues such as crime to come to the surface again. When this occurs, some will equate crime...

    The citizenship rumor is a myth. He was born in Hawaii. The anti-gun stance is not a myth.

    World's Funniest Fake Soldiers...

    Every now and then you run into the opposite. Several years ago I went to see the Civil War movie "Glory" with my father and a friend of the family who was about 70 then. During one of the battle scenes the friend of the family starts shaking and runs out to the lobby. He came back about 15...

    World's Funniest Fake Soldiers...

    I always have more respect for the vets who say I loaded trucks or stood a post but I did it well than for the fake GI Joes who claim to be super commandos but never served. I suspect the guys who have seen a bunch of killing and dieing don't speak of it much. Thank God for them though.

    How do you see yourself employing a rifle?

    Mossberg 500 for HD - I live in a small but densely populated town and worry about throwing .223 rounds around - not that you don't have to be careful as well with shotgun or pistol ammo, but when you live in the burbs the rifle round is just scary.

    .22 for self defense

    I would rather someone miss me with a .38 than hit me with a .22 The 38 v. 22 debate is really a no brainer. Yes a 22 is lethal, but the 38 is more lethal.

    Is this true? (about Glocks)

    I have carried a glock both on/off duty for 7 years. I qualify 2x per year w/ about 40 others. Shoot monthly with 10-15 - all w/ G22s and 23s. Only jams I see are when the mag is not fully inserted.

    Preparing for Obama - Buying Bulk 30 round Mags

    Crime control, which in some political circles means gun control, comes front and center regardless of crime trends when things are good, i.e. booming economy with thriving stock market and low unemployment. When things are rough, i.e. crashing stock market, rising inflation and unemployment...

    Best handgun for first-timer?

    Find a used Smith and Wesson 4 inch .38 special - look for police trade ins such as a Model 10, 15, or 64. Lots of other models available in .357 too (which also fire .38s) - use same to shoot relatively cheaply and learn marksmanship and safe gun handling techniques. Same gun is also a fine...
