    Role of the dog in home defense

    That is a terrible story. If someone took or hurt one of my dogs, I don't know what I'd do.

    Shooting Classes? What's To Learn?

    In my own personal experience there was a night and day difference between my first few years as a gun owner and shooter being self taught (albeit w/ quite a bit of reading), vs. when I started taking classes. Night and day. If you haven't taken at least say a 3-day basic handgun class, you...

    Whats the best red dot for a ak 47

    I shoot my AK with irons only. With a budget of only 50 bucks, I'd stick with irons.

    Some pistol night sight recommendations

    I like ameriglos. I like the pro operator, if you want a little faster front sight I have the pro operator rears and a proglo front on my g19 and I like that setup a lot.

    Which 1911... Read thread first

    I'm not really a fan of the concept of a "budget" 1911.

    Re-enforce window or replace door?

    One thing I'd add about window film is I had two companies come out to price it out, and both said it does not work properly unless you include an "attachment system", essentially an extremely wide application of a special caulk that covers at least 1/4" (and preferably 1/2") of both the glass...

    Re-enforce window or replace door?

    Most of my doors with windows in them have double cylinder deadbolts. You can keep a key nearby to open it from the inside in case of emergency. The keys I use for this purpose can ONLY open the door from the inside, so if someone in my home were to take the key they wouldn't be able to get in...

    Invasion and Armed Robbery in Suburban Home

    +1 Funny how we all interpret things differently, when I read stories like this I don't think of the need to stash guns around my house, I think I'm glad I have high quality doors and locks and I keep them locked (and have two large dogs). I do carry quite a bit inside my house. I have an LCP...

    New Brown mfg 4700 Lbs safe has arrived.

    Not sure if the implication was I was asking a stupid question ... their commercial vs. resi offerings only differ cosmetically as far as I know, I'm assuming that is their commercial safe paint job. That is what I was asking.

    Alarm system recommendations?

    Just a quick update after a few months of use in case anybody actually uses the search feature .... I'm pretty happy w/ the Frontpoint system so far, I installed in August, the installation was pretty easy and everything worked correctly out of the box and has worked well since. System is very...

    Fire protection: yeah or nay

    My Sturdy Safe does not have it. I went through the same thought process as you - you lose interior space, it costs more, and I'm not sure in a fire it will truly protect the contents. Plus - truth be told if my house burns down, my guns are replaceable and are the least of my concern. I...

    Help Needed in Taking the AR-15 Plunge

    DD and I believe Spikes are both in the chart. You're referencing an old version of the chart.
