    Behind every family... (picture)

    I like cuervo's idea, something with a Quote along the lines: "Behind every strong woman... ...is the readiness (ability?) to protect herself."

    First time Carry

    My wife did that to me this weekend. We were at a wedding and she must have brushed the butt. All I felt was someone tappng my gun, talk about setting you off. Of course I realized it was her right away, but talk about drawing my attention to the gun for the rest of the service. We had a...

    I want to know where they were carrying that you could see their pistols witha suit jacket on? when I wear a suit or sports coat, I would nearly need to wear my sidearm on my zipper before it would be noticable. Unless the had their hands in their pockets or something. Also I have noticed a...

    The financial side of shooting, or Am I doomed to be broke?

    The Range out at mystic is Dakota (not sure if that is the same as Dakota County Gun Club). There is North Metro Gun Club off of 35W and just north of 10, last time I was there it was pretty cheap (under $10 I think) but they may have increased recently. I'm not sure if they have the same...

    A good example of one of the many reasons why I carry a firearm.

    While I agree that there are plenty of places that I would not go wandering around in the middle of the night (particularly unarmed). I think it's really a shame that you have to stop and think if going to a park for a moonlite walk is going to get you beaten and raped. Part of carrying a gun...

    Two Pepper Sprayed Over Phone Call At Fla. Movie

    hillbilly... Yes. If I carry a firearm, I carry a cell phone, no exceptions. If you get into a situation where you have to pull a firearm to defend yourself, the first thing you should do after it is resolved is call 911. The second is call your lawyer. That is one of the first things...

    Rapid drop of opponent

    Another consideration i've heard of is that in High stress situations (and low light) there is a tendency to elevate your aim. So, by aiming to the solar plexus you are more likely to hit body, then if you aim to the chest. Of course I don't having anything to cite regarding those facts so...

    Okay - Here it is - POLL - Open Carry, Yes or No - and Why.

    Lobotomy boy I've open carried in Mpls without too much notice (in uptown of all places) so I personally don't see it as that big of a deal. However I do admit that I usually (70-+%) carry concealed, or moderately "covered" just because I don't feel like being an embassador of goodwill at the...

    Drinking while carrying?

    After the judges ruling a couple weeks ago, I carried my firearm to a freinds BBQ, and had a couple beers there. That is the first time I have ever drank while carrying, it'll probably be the last. I'm not a huge fan of drinking anyhow so it isn't a big deal for me, but I knew that it was the...

    Okay - Here it is - POLL - Open Carry, Yes or No - and Why.

    Ok, I've seen stuff like this quite a bit, and frankly I'm calling Bull????? on it. 1) IF a BG sees my gun and moves on to someone else, it does solve the problem, they are not attacking me or the people with me. Because someone else chooses not to carry a weapon is not my fault, no ones...

    National Open Carry Day

    I would say rather then choosing a Date, pick a "floating Holiday" date for NOCD (or whatever), something like the first Saturday of September. The problem with picking a date would be that it won't always fall on a weekend, and that means that people who work in "gun free zones" cannot...

    The Mysterious Taboo Around Open Carry...

    Another plus side is that the cashiers(or other people) may notice you interacting with her and have realized that a gun doesn't mean that they are in direct danger.

    The Mysterious Taboo Around Open Carry...

    I agree that the fight for rights for blacks may not be a sound analogy with ours, but how about the time after they won their rights, but nothing had changed. We have the right open to carry a weapon, but we choose not to because we fear the social repercussions, much like a black man had the...

    OK.....manual safety or no?

    Personally I would vote for one with a manual, as long as you regularly "draw and fire" train with it. That way it shouldn't really slow you down if it is muscle memory. That being said I carry with no safety, or safety off, but that is for other reasons (left handed and I have not yet...
