I would say this proves his character, he had the weapons, but chose to avoid potential confrontation all together. It sounds like the guy was somewhat disruptive when asked to leave for a good reason, so calling LE was justified. I would say this was handled very well by both revolverguy and...

Twice now I have been a DWI/drug related accidents where I, and once several of us had to jump in and help the officer. Small town and they're all alone. In one case six of us sat on a guy who was on PCP or something and waited for the officers backup to come from two towns over, the closest...

I am quite familiar with the laws in NH, my goal in any situation is to not have to use force, and I was wondering where people stood on the issue. Some great input here. As I said before, my thought is the "if it out its because I'm intending to use it" is the way to go, my experience in...

I most certainly practice the situational awareness part. I don't want to shoot anyone so if I find myself in an undesirable location I leave. I have gone 27 years of life without having to fight for my life against a person. (almost lost a fight with a dog once) and hope never to do so...

Shock is you body's response to any insult be it physical or emotional. Pale skin color and confusion are some of the best identifiers. Their skin will also likely be cool to the touch as the body stops circulation to non-essential areas. Shock is addressed after you check the vital issues...

Does an airsoft gun in the back of an ambulance count?:D Riding back form the hospital, the medic thought he was real funny.

I am new to CC and was wondering where people think the line is to which you would draw. I know the mentality for many is you don't draw until you intend to fire, but what about as a deterrent? In my case I think I would rather not have an aggressor know I have a gun until it hit the life or...

I love my XD45. I am new to guns so I don't have much to go on, I have fired a sig and a ruger as well, but really like the XD. While my local cops give me :cuss: about buying the "other" polymer pistol, I like it, and its mostly just ribbing, a couple of them have fired one and like them as...

All was quite in my corner of NH. I live next to a maintained snow mobile trail, close enough to have to close my blinds to block the headlights, and they were going all night and there were some whoops and hollers at midnight from the trail, that was it.

Merry Christmas I am new to the forum, I am from NH and am a fairly new gun owner. I work in retail and have been a volunteer firefighter for 12 years. I have spent the better part of my adult life farting around in college, but as of yet have only attained a AS, but am now less than 4...

Good topic for my first post. I have a XD45 and love it. I don't do much experimentation with ammo as $$$ is an issue, I use Winchester FMJ for the range and Winchester JHP for carry, and have had no issues. The only problem I have had is my fat thumb occasionally hits the slide lock and the...
