    Thought experiment RE: private sales of firearms

    Won't work Driver's licenses last like six years. So...some dude gets on the bad list and the state mails him his new NO FIREARMS card. He keeps the old one...flashes to unsuspecting seller. Crime committed. No good, sorry.

    Norway killer describes shootings

    Interesting to note that passengers during the 9/11 hijackings also froze, except for the plane that went down in PA -- those people fought back. Next time something like this happens in Norway I wonder if people will freeze or if they will fight back. Having recently been in a situation where...

    Floridas "stand your ground law"

    Absolutely. And what I meant to say in my original statement was deescalate AND leave. Avoiding a bad outcome is winning! This is something that's not easily understood when the monkey-brain takes over. That's why one shouldn't argue with a stranger. If they're irrational, it's time to git...

This meant that if a bad guy came through my patio doors into my bedroom in the middle of the night, I had a duty to try to run out of the room and thru...

    First Gun for Son/Daughter

    Both my boys got Ruger 10/22s for their 10th birthdays. I understand the "iron sights only" and bolt action preferences but for me that didn't make sense. They'll both get optics this year before we go to Appleseed.

    What's your "never buy" gun?

    S&W 4006. Inherited one from my brother after he committed suicide with it. I shot it every month for a year after that, just because it gave me a space to grieve. Then I sold it because it took me to a negative place whenever I was around it. On the other hand, I had a S&W 3913 my brother gave...
