    The most important strategy, ignored?

    It's no wonder that's still a useful skill. There are otherwise grown men in their 40s who haven't outgrown that.

    A spare reload if needed

    Tap and rack is a lot faster than opening the cylinder and easier under pressure than tightening an ejector rod that's worked loose.

    A school lock down

    Okay. I get why someone who was conditioned by the government to believe a school desk would save him from nuclear attack would accept a lockdown for a bb gun. There is nothing new under the sun. I guess the next couple of generations will figure it out eventually.

    A school lock down

    My fear is that we're conditioning an entire generation of kids to submit to authority for the illusion of safety. That scares me way more than school shootings do. When I was growing up in the 80s, kids died once in a while. We did a lot of dangerous things. I can think of about 10 kids from...

    A school lock down

    There seems to a be security theater thing going on with schools today. We're inconveniencing everyone who uses a facility for something that is just going to inconvenience an attacker who has decided to kill people. But as long as we create the illusion that a facility is an impenetrable...

    A school lock down

    Only one way in and out? What if there's a fire? Is it a small school? The high school my kids and I went to had probably 1500 students and staff. There must be at least 20 buildings. (You couldn't walk from west side of the school to the freshman lockers and back in six minutes during the...

    A school lock down

    Maybe someone saw it or saw something else that looked like a gun. My son was at the office at our high school when someone had a tip about a student with a gun in her car. Her car had broken down and she drove her mother's car to school. Someone called because they saw her slide a rifle case...

    Looking for gunsocks for large weapons

    I bought a 10/22 face to face from a seller who brought it to meet me in a pants leg. He picks up cheap used pants and cuts them in half to keep guns from getting dinged up in the safe. There's a Goodwill Outlet in his area that sells clothes by the pound.

    Shooting Range Near a Well

    Are you sure about the PEL for lead? I doubt that it's zero in houses we had with everything soldered together with lead.

    On the off chance this is true, I am crossing you off the list of people I will trust with a secret.

    I just started carrying pepper spray

    Yes, . Florida has a law against it.I feel like an idiot for not researching the law before I asked. It wasn't the concentration but the amount I tried to purchase. You can carry a gun in Florida, even without a permit, but no more than 2 ounces of pepper spray. It never occurred to me that...

    I just started carrying pepper spray

    The OP answered it for me on post 26. Florida restricts mail order for any amount over 2 ounces, unless it is for animals. This is why I have been able to buy a large can of bear spray or a keychain sized OC spray off Amazon, but cannot buy Sabre Red 1.3% Mark 3 or Mark 4...

    I just started carrying pepper spray

    Guys, I've been to a store. I am aware that I can buy some kind of pepper spray at some kind of a store. I was asking specifically about the products that Old Dog had suggested- that's why I was replying to his post. Amazon is the first thing I tried- they have it and won't ship to me. I...

    I just started carrying pepper spray

    Where can you get those? Everybody I see online sells to law enforcement only.

    Things to Not Do

    I know there's a certain percentage of crime that goes unreported. Has the percentage of unreported crime increased that much? If violent crime has increased since the 90s despite the overwhelming statistics that it has declined, the NRA has some explaining to do. They've been telling everyone...

    Things to Not Do

    So this just started happening today? I know of two unreported violent felonies in New Orleans 10 years ago. The first of which I reported and the second I had seen enough of New Orleans I didn't even bother.

    Things to Not Do

    So you think people stopped reporting violent crimes? Or police stopped taking reports? What exactly is the basis for saying you think the statistics are wrong other than your gut tells you that?

    44mag or 10mm for Wilderness Defense?

    44 mag isn't magic, anyway. I saw a hog get hit with a 44 mag out of a carbine, decent lung shot. It didn't even seem to notice. And it's not like it was angry. If that hog can run 100 yards, what would an angry black bear do? Honestly curious whether it would die while it mauled me or after it...

    Things to Not Do

    From my understanding a no contest plea is simply a deal that you're not going to contest the charges. You're not admitting guilt or denying the charges. So the court finds you guilty. You're still just as guilty either way. You'd probably have to show you were coerced or duped into submitting...
