    Carry Concealment

    In TX for casual dress, it was a quality warm weather t-shirt and a floppy cover shirt. I found Magellan or Columbia fishing shirts worked just fine and didn't scream - shoot me. I also like the Duluth shirts and will wear them with a cover shirt and then since it's cold here a Jacket. When...

    FL College & University Carry Legislation for 2025

    If you do push - watch out for a carve out that allows private school to keep bans. That was an argument in TX and ALL the private schools kept bans on carry. Now it was the case, that the schools could not ban keeping your gun in the car in parking lots. That kept you from being disarmed going...

    Carry Options... Is your gun "shootable" under stress?

    I was talking to some old geezers the other day and we think there would be a market for disposable AIWB Depends.

    Colorado Weapons Ban

    That is the case. When it came time to stand up to an antigun policy at work, I was the only one who spoke up. The 'boys' who talked the stopping power, buying guns, etc. themes and were 'conservative' said little to nothing. True, I had very strong job protections but I got my face out. Got on...

    Colorado Weapons Ban

    The situation would be solved in if the so-called 'Gods' of Scotus would get off their butts and act on the challenges to the principles to Bruen. Why they don't is a mystery?

    Colorado Weapons Ban

    There is too much weight in forums such as this over politics. Folks cannot afford to move. Give up your 3.5% mortgage for 7%? Folks need to work and jobs are not equally distributed based on professions. Folks, to be blunt, need to be with folks who are dying and/or incapable of taking care of...

    Hey, Anyone Know of a decent Public Rifle Range in the Austin Area?

    As I said - on https://www.krtraining.com/FAQs/AustinGunFAQ.HTML you can find 100 to 300 yard out door range. Just hydrate constantly and wear light cover garments for the sun and sun screen. Those moisture wicking long sleeve light weight t-shirts are very popular. Wear a hat and sun...

    Colorado Weapons Ban

    There are complex processes in life and complex reasons for living in a certain place. It is a cliche to post that all decisions be made on gun laws. In most states, you can buy a useful gun for self-defense in most scenarios. Carry might be more difficult in a few but still doable. Family...

    Carry Options... Is your gun "shootable" under stress?

    My buddy who was a national champion and came in second after Jerry, a few times - carried a semi for EDC. Lots of us can shoot revolvers at matches. Doesn't mean they are optimal as Tom Givens said - and I quoted several times. Do I feel helpless if I belt carried my revolver - no. Would I...

    Carry Options... Is your gun "shootable" under stress?

    One thing Mas (and others stress) is that you need realistic training with the gun. We know that most carriers do not do this. Then practice - perhaps not of just shooting groups at the square rang. We ask about EDC and get lists of guns. A proportion are more COSplay and not optimal. Folks...

    What did you shoot today?

    Glock Gen 4 G17. Lots of 'A' hits. Time stinks as knees preclude the track meet aspect of USPSA. Love that gun. For me the grip angle complaint is BS.

    Opinions on the perfect nightstand handgun.

    I think any quality semi would do. The hand held light is a good idea. For me, a G17 and Surefire is a winning combo. I can't see significant advantages to other quality guns. They are all pretty much the same in practical usage. Bearcreek is extremely right on about training over hardware...

    Naval Rifles

    I I imagine if you put it in your ear, that would do the job. Terrible thing to contemplate. I also read that MacArthur carried one when he went ashore in the Philippines in the rare chance that the Japanese captured him. Is that true? Who knows?

    Gun Cart for range.

    We keep our rifles in soft cases in the four wheel collapsible carts. Our local rules are that you bring the case up to the line and get the rifle out. Some folks do have golf car like carts with holders for the rifle. They said they cost a good buck. The collapsible carts are cheap. I also use...

    Naval Rifles

    The idea was that you couldn't get out of a major turret. Also, the story said it was in footwear or socks against the leg. If this is true - I dunno.

    Naval Rifles

    Slamfire - the derringer was for when the turret was on fire or you are underwater, waiting to drown. Thus, the risk of accidental explosion really didn't manner. It was to chose a less awful death.

    Naval Rifles

    I read somewhere that crew members in battleship turrets might carry a Remington 2 barrel 41 caliber revolver in case they were stuck in a turret and unable to get out in a burning or sinking ship. Ouch! Big naval guns are done for. Their range is too short and coming close to shore makes you...
