    New Years Eve body count... unfortunately

    Smarts runs in the family: Brother of accused shooter: 'New Year's is a day to shoot guns' http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=83787 Ya, shooting .44's (magnum?) at street lights in the city is okay...

    Liberals like guns too

    I hadn't heard of the "Charlie’s Angels grip." :D

    Movies where guns would make it rather short.

    Well...then there's those movies that have guns but people don't know how to use them. Like a seeming number of movies where a woman (sexist Hollywood???) is supposed to shoot back at the bad guys but drops it (usually out the car window). Or that guy hiding in the closet in Pulp Fiction.

    9mm & 45 ACP SD Ammo Recommendations?

    Since my 9mm/45 thread went so well :P, I wanted to ask what you all knowledgeable people would recommend for self-defensive rounds in 9mm and .45 ACP (brands, type, weight, overpressure or not, etc.)? Please provide ball-park prices too. Thanks!

    .44 Mag ever fended off a bear?

    I've been told many times that the required minimum caliber for gov't and other personnel in Alaska is .44 mag. Then a couple weeks ago a gun shop salesman told me that he'd never heard of somebody carrying only a .44 successfully defending themself against a bear. Ever heard of such?

    All cops aren't big mean ogres that eat your civil liberties!

    Funny, here in Colorado many sheriff's depts add CCW holders to the same database as criminals, which LEO's can check (but aren't supposed to) during stops.

    9mm better than 45 acp for defense???

    If seeking gun-buying advice from LEO's, NRA instructors, military, gun enthusiasts, and gun shop salesman doesn't make sense then, pray tell, who does?

    Repercussions for Shooting in a National Park?

    Say somebody subscribes to the "better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6" philosophy, chooses to carry a firearm into the back country of any number of National Parks which prohibit (non-disassembled) firearms, then encounters a situation (bear, mtn. lion, psycho, ...) in which they're forced...
