    Open carry question

    Your post is somewhat ambiguous. Maybe you could clarify what you mean so some don't interpret it to be some kind of unsubstantiated fear mongering regarding the safety or wisdom of open carry. Thanks.

    Can't decide between a few guns

    Which one do you hit with? They all seem to be within about three or four Big Macs of being the same price. I'd go for the one I group best with, fits my hand, and I could afford to feed ammunition.

    Charged with resisting for failure to produce id

    Quote ZeroJunk I was asked for ID by an NC prison guard looking for an escaped convict at least 45 years Get real. Cops "demand" ID so they can go on a fishing expedition. If my actions warrant an arrest or criminal charge, they won't be asking for ID. They will be requesting me to assume...

    Open carry in Alabama?

    For some reason, I get the idea "standing your ground" with an Alabama cop intent on "gaining compliance" could end with a SWAT team and the person "standing their ground" leaving in a body bag. I'm in Huntsville on business frequently. I appreciate the invitation to open carry, but my...

    1897 Winchester for Home Defense

    They kick like a mule. Is she stout enough to handle recoil and manage additional shots if needed? On a side note, I consider the model 97 to be the most dangerous weapon on my property. I have experienced a few "unplanned discharges" from model 97's when the hammer slipped off half cock. Maybe...

    Shotguns and Rifles

    Thanks for the thread dog55. I can't help with your questions of value, as so much of value hinges on condition, market, region, and venue of sale. I only want to remark that the shotguns, model 12, Browning lightweight and the double are the same models and about the same vintage as the...

    Night Sights: actually useful, or gimmicky?

    Quote reuben mishler I believe this echo's my experience and belief. After the first round, I can't see the night sights anyway. And it may be unlikely that I will acquire a sight picture at all in a split second life threatening situation. I am resolved to use my weapon as a last resort...

    What is the quality of Charter and Taurus snubbies like?

    I have a Taurus 605 snub in stainless with a ported barrel. It has proven reliable and accurate. It is manageable with +P and magnum loads. I have confidence in it's ability to act as a self defense weapon in most situations. What more could I ask from a less than $400.00 revolver?
