    My Experience with the PA State Police Over Memorial Day Weekend.

    my experience in PA A few years back, a PSP trooper pulled me over for speeding...about 76 in a 65. He even pointed at me as I passed him. Obviously, I pulled over right away, and he got all my paperwork and returned to his car. When he came back a few minutes later, I had a written...

    Boston teacher's perverted views on self defense.

    1) I am a public school teacher, and I don't think like that AT ALL. I wish that more people wouldn't buy into the idea that "all guns in schools" are bad--even when non-liberals run the districts. But that has become a "herd mentality" when relating to schools throughout our nation...and I'd...

    Good starting handgun

    xd9 in 4" service or 5" tactical px4 in 9mm is good, too...very soft shooting For a first gun I'd avoid the 40 S&W. It has far more recoil than a 9mm. Some say it is worse than the .45 a friend of mine is getting his first gun, and we have him getting a .22 Buckmark or Ruger, just to...

    CC, LCP vs XD9sc vs P01

    my take 1) I have the LCP--nice gun for concealment...not so great for hitting what you shoot at. Plus, it isn't pleasant to shoot. It has been reliable for me with all ammo...no feeding issues since I bought it. 2) I also have the XD SC. Great gun...incredibly reliable and amazingly...

    Why is the Ruger LCP so hard to find?

    I got mine for $269, 295 out the door (taxes and everything). It's not much fun to shoot, but it conceals very easily. I have about 100 rounds through it with no problems...all ball ammo, though.

    Trouble in Paradise! New Witness .45 Elite

    Where is your hand/thumb when shooting? Are you accidentally bumping the mag release? I've done it before!

    What is a large capacity magazine? And if I have a magazine with more than that, can I still use it but load it to the "limited number"???

    If you could have only one 9mm

    XD Anything in 9mm from the XD line. I'd really like an XDM in 9mm, which will be coming out soon.
