    Gun owners fear Maryland cops target them for traffic stops

    Just to make sure I stated my question clearly... My scenario involves just transporting the gun in my trunk not carried. And if I do tell them that I do have a gun in my trunk; (and then state that I do not consent to any searches of my person or vehicle) do they have probable cause to search...

    Gun owners fear Maryland cops target them for traffic stops

    No idea how it would be known. Apparently during the stop related in the news, the PO came up to the driver and asked the driver where the gun was. But even so... Just having an NRA sticker on your car doesn't mean anything legally.

    Gun owners fear Maryland cops target them for traffic stops

    I can remember getting treated like a criminal for legal carrying during a traffic stop in Ft. Meyers FL. I was there attending a professional convention for RNs and I got pulled over for "failing to dim my lights." Anyway, I'll never consent to a search of my car or person. Get a...

    Savannah, GA visit planned. CCW friendly?

    My wife lived in Savannah for a couple of years and I used to go see her every other weekend. Really a neat town. I'd love to live there. It is kind of strange though as it doesn't follow the standard pattern of a city where the epicenter is more depressed and the farther out you radiate the...

    Savannah, GA visit planned. CCW friendly?

    Ugh... Stay AWAY from the Crab Shack at all costs. The food is mediocre, the dining area is overrun with stray cats, the place stinks of old seafood left too long in the heat, and their toilets are horrifying. They cut holes in the center of the tables and position garbage cans under there so...

    CCW in Florida Aquarium in Tampa?

    Hi, I'm headed to Tampa with my family today and we're going to go to the Florida Aquarium. Does anyone know if it is legal to carry there or if they wand as we go through? Thanks.

    Need sidesaddle advice

    After careful consideration and advice from Mesa Tactical, Ive opted for the 4-round sidesaddle for my bedside bump-in-the-night baddy blaster. Apparently the length of the slide makes the 4 rounder the optimal size. I'll post pics and a review when it arrives! Thanks for your advice guys!

    Need sidesaddle advice

    Hi everybody.... I just bought a fighting/home defense shotgun - a Benelli Supernova (pump). I love it! It has ghost ring sights, a Nordic Components 2 round mag extender, and I am looking to add a Mesa Tactical sidesaddle. I'm curious as to which one I should go with. I'm leaning toward...

    Traffic Stop: Will "Are You Armed?" Question Become SOP?

    You know... By and large, the Police truly are there to try and perform a public good under what can occasionally be really crappy circumstances at significant personal risk. Rest assured that I have met some real pieces of excrement wearing a badge; but I feel that these are the exception...

    77 Year-Old Mexican Rancher Stands Up To Cartel , Kills 4, Wounds 2

    There comes a time in every man's life when he has to choose between doing what is right and what is easy. I pray every day that when that moment comes for me, I have the moral clarity and strength to do what is right. This man showed that he had both... In spades. We need more like him. I...

    Threshold for drawing a handgun

    I've drawn on three separate occasions. And each time, I had come to the conclusion that my life was in the balance; and if I did not embrace my inner viking (immediately), I was going to die. I'm no badass. I wasn't working in an arms-bearing profession. I was running a medium-sized...

    Has an anti ever visited the board?

    I'm embarrassed to admit that 20 years ago (in high school) I was an anti. I had no issues with pistols but I felt that there was no reason for civilians to own things like AKs or M16s. I learned quickly though.

    Wife found out how many guns i own

    Heck... My wife not only gave me the green light on a gun purchase, she enthusiastically did so. She knows what guns I have. I don't hide it. She's my best friend and I make sure I don't compromise us financially with an irresponsibly timed purchase. That being said, I really don't have...

    what kind of gun owner/shooter/ person are you?

    Let's see... I'm 40 years old and have a BS from a major state university, and I graduated with a 3.4ish gpa. I went back to school and became an RN and am pursuing becoming an anesthesia nurse. I've also worked as a professional diver (done SAR, salvage, etc.), taught 7th and 8th grade...

    Police attitudes toward open carry

    Given my druthers, I would carry however I saw fit on any particular day. I think it is ridiculous that people need to worry about whether they are "printing" or if their shirt accidentally pulls up and exposes their gun to disapproving eyes. The ability to carry should be just that. Carry...

    Help! Anti-gun Girlfriend.

    I liked Hexidecimal's reply best of all. My suggestion is not to overtly make efforts to convert her. Make sure you carry regularly as you normally would. Comport yourself as normal. She needs to see that people who carry guns are not lunatics teetering on the edge of a violent outburst...

    I feel like ******bag of the year

    I was trained that you never ever want that shot you fired at a threat to be an automatic response. Your actions in a combat situation should be deliberate and as methodical as your training will enable you to be. Blind response to threat stimuli isn't a good thing. I'd go talk to somebody...

    Well guys it happened to me....neighbor.

    Speak with an attorney to ascertain where you stand legally. If you are within your rights to do as you are by shooting on your property, you have some latitude in your decisions. By no means allow this individual to exert his will over you. Period. If I were you, I'd give the issue a...

    Do you Carry chambered?

    I'm always astounded by those who would carry a modern firearm for self defense and not have a round chambered. It sounds like suicide, not self defense to me.
