    Almost Drew My Gun Today

    In reference to the experience of <MOA, why did you not jump back in the truck and go to another gas station? I have been in situations like that multiple times in Houston. Each time I said "Howdy" very loudly, got back in the truck and left asap. The only responses I received were surprised...

    Defeating Without Fighting

    Thanks for the insight and resources! I have been trying to find ways to share these kinds of things with my wife without intimidating her or making her paranoid or tuning me out, saying that I am paranoid. Keep it coming!

    Stolen rifle!!!

    Sorry about your loss. Hope it turns up. I spent several years in that neck of the woods... If nothing else, these are no major cities closer than a 5 hour drive. The scumbags that took it will likely not travel to unload it, hopefully.

    Dumbest thing you've seen at the range?

    MtnCreek, I have to say that I have seen something like this before. As a father, I am very saddened. I don't know that I would call the situation dumb so much as sad. A great opportunity to have some quality father-son time at the range lost over the dad's poor choice. I hope that he takes...

    Almost drew tonight: witnessed a near murder in a front yard

    Dirty Bob, you did the right thing and the best possible outcome happened, IMO. Good&Fruity: I do not want to pick a fight, but this attitude bothers me. What happened to helping a neighbor out? Calling the police does not put you in harm's way, generally. I could never consciously...

    How do you convince your significant other that you need a certain gun?

    Amen, Scimmia! I have to say I like Crystal's money plans... little ring, big gun. :)

    How do you convince your significant other that you need a certain gun?

    Well, since no one else here has said it... Congratulations MagnumDweeb and crystalrose on your pending nuptials. We wish you the best. Back to topic. I would be ecstatic if my wife walked up to me and said that she really wants a Kimber, or any firearm for that matter. She shoots mine, but...

    Lever action or semi-auto .22?

    Thanks for the history lesson folks. The thinks you learn...especially when you are not expecting it...highjacked threads. My first hunting rifle was a Win M94. I still have it, shoot it, and love it. I think slowbutsure summed it up pretty well: To each their own. OP, figure out...

    Would you carry a less than reliable auto-loader?

    For me, it truly depends on more information than has been given. Is it a ftf, a fte, clearable, requires disassembly to clear, better/worse with certain ammo, etc. If it failed randomly and was not readily clearable, I would not carry it. My reasoning is that my having a gun, albiet...

    It hurts so good...

    Easy answer: To say the we did. Bragging rights are a powerful motivator. Famous last words, "Hey y'all, watch this!!" A while back, I had the bright idea to shoot a pistol gripped pump 12ga 3 1/2 magnum slug with 1 hand. Hurt so much I had to do it again...
