Kudos to Butch Otter! I knew that we could count on him. :) In Arizona any adult who can LEGALLY carry can carry concealed without any license or permit. Open carry has always been legal in Arizona. It's a great state for the Second Amendment.

I have a Rossi Ranch Hand .357 magnum which is very much like the "Mare's Leg" that Zoe (Gina Torres) used in the TV series "Firefly". http://www.rossiusa.com/product-list.cfm?category=17

I just renewed my membership for 5 years. I'm almost 80 so 5 years is being fairly optimistic. :)

I actually feel a strong responsibility not to over-react when carrying. I think that that's a good thing!

I couldn't help but notice that one reply was from Ed Ames. Are you related to the Ed Ames who was the notorious tomahawk thrower on the Johnny Carson show? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L5QC9ZJkM8 If you can't have guns in California, maybe you could buy a tomahawk. :)

I'm just very pleased to have Mattt Salmon as my representative.! :)

I also would like to thank Frank for his clear and cogent post.

Love the term "balderdash"! Too bad that it's used so infrequently.

Nevada has dropped 2 states from CCW recognition but added 12 others. http://gsd.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/gsd.nv.gov/content/FeesForms/Brady/2015%20CCW%20Recognition%20List%2019%20June%2015.pdf Michigan and New Mexico were the states that were dropped. They were dropped because they don't...

Been off for a long time. Just came back in. Always liked THR. :)

NOXX said: "If it's not dangerous, it isn't much of a weapon, now is it." This made me think of the story about old Charlie Miller who was one of the most famous Texas Rangers. The story is: "Texas Ranger Charlie Miller was minding his own business when a concerned citizen came up to him...

I have a Kel-Tec P3AT (identical dimensions to a Ruger LCP). It's about the smallest reasonable defense pistol that you can get. I can easily reach the trigger with the second digit on my trigger finger. I think that a 5' 1" woman could reach it too. It's an easy pull for a DAO pistol. Only...

Thanks for posting this chubbysurvivalist! When you're passing through Iowa you can just unload your gun and put it in the trunk. This is permitted by an exception to Iowa Code 724.4 Carrying Weapons wherein paragraph 4. states: "4. Subsections 1 through 3 do not apply to any of the...

I'd love to see Kel-Tec make a 40 S&W equivalent to their 9mm PF-9. It should weigh under a pound with a fully loaded single-stack magazine. I think that this would make a great CCW weapon. I have a KT P3AT which I carry loaded with Buffalo Bore Gold Dots which is about the max performance...
