    Gun Owners on the "Left" of center ...

    left/right/conservative/liberal/progressive/socialist/communist/radical ... blah blah blah! The people in charge don't care what you label them, just as long as THEY remain in charge and solidify that circumstance more and more each day!

    I knew if I read through enough pages of this thread, I'd find someone who could more "elegantly" express what I feel about Glock and the quote above says it 100% correctly. So, I guess I have to include the Taurus PT709 as well, for the same reason. They're just not for me!

    Ankle Holsters?

    I was first licensed to carry in 1994 and my EDC from 1994 till 1997 was a Taurus M85 in a Galco AG122 with a calf strap to make sure it rode up high. I was working as an in-home salesman ... out late alone in both nice and questionable neighborhoods every evening, in and out of peoples living...

    How can anyone be expected to win a self-defense case?

    poihths, Now that I've reached my 60th year, I'd like to think that I will be able to exhibit "the clear, cold, fact-based thinking" you mentioned. You make your point extremely well and hopefully the "chest beaters" will think long and hard, BEFORE a situation arises, about just how...
