    Sticking with "same" ammo for defense and practice

    Guys fairly new to handguns and I'm working on placing my first bulk order for 40 S&W. I have Speer Gold Dot HP's for SD, if it matters I have the 165gr. Does it benefit me at all to get Speer Lawman FMJ 165gr for practice? According to Speers ballistic chart the 2 rounds have the exact same...

    Sherrif demands I remove my firearm

    In my area, can't speak for all areas but female officers are allowed to escalate 1 level of force where male officers are not. I believe this is what clem is getting at. Yes she was out of line and should be retrained however rules of force are different between men and women so she may or may...

    suggestion for first deer rifle

    270 My first gone was a .270 winchester and i have to say that when i was 14 it was perfect for me. Now i'm 18 and it's still perfect for me. It has enough power for deer and pretty good range as well. It also has less kick than some of the other guns i've shot (especially daddy's 30-06) very...

    Serrated or non-serrated in a defensive folder?

    Opinions Sought- the .260 Remington

    Not sure I'm not sure about the .260 but i know my winchester .270 is perfect on wisconsin whitetails. The places that i hunt i wouldn't be able to take a shot at anything that's out of the range of it because of brush and such. It has enough power for the deer and also is not so highly powered...

    Stop! Please/Police!

    Why use a gun? Ok say this situation is happening, why would you need to use a gun in the first place? the dude's got a fricken knife. Unless he's got a machete and 6 foot long arms learn the pressure points and catch him square in one of those and it's all over. Then you won't have to worry...
