    do punisher grips make your 1911 "nerdy"...?

    I didn't read all 8 (!) pages of this thread, so if I'm echoing someone else, I apologize. That being said, if you are involved in a shooting, it's likely the prosecuter is going to crawl up your backside with a microscope--do you really want to give him more to look at than necessary...

    Concealing on first date?

    If your odds are anything like mine, the one time you'll need a gun is the one time you decide not to take it with you. You don't have to advertise that you have it...if you go to a place that serves alcohol, try to discretely put it away before you leave your vehicle. If she asks, be...

    Do you polish your holsters?

    It's ok to use conditioner products on a leather holster...but use them sparingly. Especially if you don't want the holster to be as limp as an old baseball mitt. This may cause it to fold closed, preventing you from re-holstering with one hand, something you might need to do, especially if...

    Administration secretly ends program that let pilots carry guns

    Of course he doesn't. Again, it's an editorial and not a news piece--as such, the ethical guidelines for factual reporting aren't as strict. Not that ethics or reporting real, unslanted news ever got in the way of a good story. For the record, the entire budget for the program runs at about...

    Administration secretly ends program that let pilots carry guns

    Since when do we take anything the press has to say, especially in an EDITORIAL, at face value or as even remotely accurate? Don't believe everything you read.

    question for northern VA residents: relocation and new laws

    Go to the courthouse in Fairfax city. The ladies there are very nice and I'm sure will take care of you. One nice thing you may find: I'm told that Loudoun (can't speak for Prince William) will notify you shortly before your CCW expires, essentially giving you a heads up ahead of time...

    Marcus Luttrell's Lone Survivor

    If you like "Lone Survivor" check out "The Warrior Elite" (sorry, don't have the author's name at hand). The book was written some time ago and follows a BUD/S class through some of their training. It was Luttrell's class, by shear coincidence.

    Pilot's gun discharges on US Airways flight

    That holster lock setup has to be THE dumbest thing I've ever seen.Just BEGGING for problems, especially based on the description of what can happen given by Jeeppunk (seems pretty likely and easy to do to me, with this setup). lot less bulky..... Good notional scenario. One question...

    Pilot's gun discharges on US Airways flight

    Ahem...Since When Do We Believe Everything We Read? Take it from me: the only time an FFDO who is following proper procedure would have to holster a weapon in an aircraft is if they just drew it on someone. Or maybe I'm just as much of an expert as the rest of the pundits...guess you'll have...

    Found ANOTHER dead deer this weekend

    These aren't likely poacher kills. No legs left, lower jawbone gone, back part of the hide up to the neck and head still there, everything else gone. As someone said, even poachers don't eat all THAT. Two Chupacabra. Undocumented and in this country illegally
