When hunting, I always carry a sidearm; was just raised to do it. But backpacking, I've rarely taken a gun and thankfully never needed it. I have a hike coming up on the Olympic Peninsula in WA, and it's known high-density black bear area. Considering taking my Kahr MK9. I realize it's under...

I'm sorry to hear about the guy...it's never good news when it comes to that. :( On a related note...I don't know the actual figures on how much this happens, but I could see things like this leading to NICS checks and/or waiting periods before even renting handguns.

thanks for the responses.. A couple points... As Standing Wolf said: I happen to agree with this mindset, and it personally drives me nuts that I can't take appropriate action to help society without ruining my own life(financially or otherwise) in the process. It makes perfect sense to me...

Early morning 3:00AM July 5th, I'm sleeping soundly after the fireworks died down and am awoken by loud metal on metal screeching and banging. The windows in my apartment complex are quite thin and it's very easy to hear what's going on outside, and I just happened to park my truck right...

It's been a few years, but I've gotten to shoot a Contender chambered in 7mm...I've always had good luck with it, I don't think you'd be unhappy with its accuracy at all. It can be somewhat of a bear unless you've got mosterous powerful hands, but then again, I guess they chamber them in...

wondering myself... I've been reading over on the MKII forum about how over-cleaning wears out the Ruger .22's faster than shooting them, and usually I clean them meticulously after a range session, but have slacked a bit after reading all those posts. I still clean my HD pistol crystal clear...

can't help it... Pretty bad argument eh? sorry...just had to.. To stay on topic, I've heard that some people take pliers and unscrew/pull out the bullet, then discard in pieces. I've never done this myself though... through literally thousands of rounds of .22 over the years, never...

hehe.. While I can't avoid paying Walmart prices for WWB, I understand I'm paying for ammunition and not for the service behind the counter, and always check the boxes twice.

hmm... I'll be honest, I've only been to a couple shops since I've been down here in Fort Worth, Texas, but S&S Firearms treated me real well on my most recent purchase. Apparently, they specialize in Class 3, but didn't hesitate when I wanted to order a MKII. They even quoted me the best...

well... ...to confuse the issue even more...I'm sitting here looking at a box of 20 9mm 135 gr. PD9HS5 H Hydra-Shoks... don't know where they would fit on your list, but they don't say anything about being +P.

You may want to start her off by getting some pepper spray and a good knife for her purse. It would help to get her in the mindset for concealed carry while not actually having to carry a gun. Once she goes through the classes you're talking about, if she's comfortable, then can progress to a...

choices... I've gotta go with the Ruger. My P95 is, as others have already pointed out, built like a tank and won't quit. I've heard stories of people with thousands and thousands and thousands of round thru em. For the money, I don't think it could be beat. Keep in mind, they're not really...

hmm... It's too bad for those guys... As with most all articles like this, I wish there were more details. Too many unanswered questions lead to a feeling of not hearing the whole story. I'm assuming most here would feel that this could have turned out differently had the victims been armed?

the magazine you saw... I believe it was American Handgunner. I just saw it at Walmart tonight and thought pretty much the same thing...a .50 in a 1911? Had to pass it by though because I was in a hurry.

Wally, I agree...that's why I bought a Ruger P-95 :-) thanks for the report Texas Bob...I've been checking out this weapon on the internet for the last couple months...nice gun...a little pricy :-) Take it easy ...
