    Death Threats

    Usp1, unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Even if you can prove the message was sent by the bad guy's computer, it is almost impossible to prove that he was the one behind the keyboard.

    Call P.D.?

    As I mentioned in the other thread, at least in WA it is a gross misdemeanor not to report a violent crime, or an attempt at such, which a robbery is. I'm sure other states have similar statutes.

    Dog Attack

    About the owner attacking, we had such a scenario at IDPA once. While walking your dog (holding a leash with the weak hand), you are attacked by a pair of dogs. You draw and shoot them each twice single-handedly, then drop the leash and put them out of their misery with a shot to the head...

    My Wife, S&W, and Mr. Road Rager

    I'm glad everything turned out alright. Situations like this one can get very ugly, so it's understandable that she was shaken. I am wondering, though, did you call the police? Was there any follow-up? Did they give your wife trouble for having drawn a gun?

    Did you call the police?

    Indeed, in WA it is a gross misdemeanor to witness a violent offense and not report it. http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9.69.100 I'm sure other states have similar statutes.

    My Home Was Burglarized

    I didn't have time to read the whole thread, but is it possible they could have seen the gun through the window, from the street or perhaps a neighbor's house? Sounds opportunistic - they saw it, went straight for it and got out as fast as possible?

    Did you call the police?

    The other thread about pulling guns on people got closed, but it brought the interesting question of having to call the police afterwards. I realize that the recommendation is to call, just to ensure that you are the first to call, but it's interesting to know whether most people actually call...

    how many of you carry a gun and pepper spray?

    I always carry a pepper spray and a knife. Also a gun, unless I'm going to work, where I can't carry. The pepper spray gives you non-lethal options. If somebody wants to get into a fist-fight with you, and you only have your gun, you're in a bad situation - you can't draw, so you're stuck...

    Self defense in college

    I had a History teacher who carried a huge screwdriver in his suit's inner pocket. Just saying. As for a knife, I carry a 3.5" SOG Flash II assisted-open knife and am very happy with the speed it can be deployed when in need.

    AK47 or VZ 58 charging handle/safety on wrong side, sight radius too short?

    Why is everybody saying that the AK has a short sight radius? It's exactly the same as on an AR-15.

    Hypothetical CCW Situation? Your Opinions Please.

    Why would she pull out a gun? He didn't do anything to her, did he? :-) The man was quietly doing his thing from a distance, what's the big deal... It would have been nice to have a gun just in case, but that applies to any situation.

    How do you store your ammo?

    In my closet. Rifle ammo - in the cardboard boxes it was shipped to me in. Pistol ammo - in the plastic bags from Walmart. I might also have some in the backpack that I use to go to the range. The only exception is my self-defense pistol ammo, which is in my nightstand.

    How/Where to Carry an Extra Magazine for CC

    9 o'clock, in a standard GLOCK magazine holder (I carry my pistol at 3 o'clock). Initially I was reluctant, since the holder was plastic, but the mag actually fits very nicely inside. If you carry a GLOCK, definitely give it a try.

    Obligation to Disclose That You Carry When at Someone's House

    That's wrong, though. I'm not carrying to my friends' houses because I think my friends will attack me. I carry because I want to be protected on my way there and back, and also in case an armed home invasion happens while I'm there.

    Obligation to Disclose That You Carry When at Someone's House

    Wait, how is it not appropriate to be armed just because you're handling children? The gun is concealed, the kids never get to it - what's the big deal? It's not like it's going to go off by itself and hurt a child, and you know you're not going to do so too. In my opinion, what guests to my...

    Obligation to Disclose That You Carry When at Someone's House

    But why? If they're carrying and you don't find out about it, how is your safety jeopardized? It's no different than being outside with those same people. As long as they don't pull the gun out or handle it in an unsafe way, there is no problem, and if they do, then you can ask them to leave...

    Obligation to Disclose That You Carry When at Someone's House

    You'd be upset if you ever saw it. You'd be none the wiser if you didn't know it was under their clothes, in their pants, etc.

    Obligation to Disclose That You Carry When at Someone's House

    I usually don't tell people that I am carrying concealed. This avoids the whole problem, since it never becomes an issue, and it also means that we never get a chance to discuss whether they mind me carrying or even whether they're afraid of guns or not. If I know they don't want people...

    Parking Garage to Work

    That's not true. An employer cannot ask if you're disabled or not if it's not directly related to the job, and even if it is, they would never ask "is there something wrong with ... [legs, whatever]". To comply with the law, an employer would usually ask "is there anything preventing you from...
