    Girlfriend Doesn't Approve of Carrying

    I would also greatly consider trying to get her some help, regardless of whether your relationship lasts, especially since youre close to her step dad.

    Girlfriend Doesn't Approve of Carrying

    I was in an abusive relationship for 3 years. Everything was fine until we were involved in a very serious automobile accident. After that, we were both in physical therapy for about 6 months. She basically became a basket case after that, stopped taking care of herself, started crying a lot for...

    A word on multiple attackers

    On a side note, I agree that non-confrontation is best, but it sounds like the guy that got attacked didn't have that option. Also, I did not mean to sound like I would just be randomly gunning down gang members, so Im sorry if you had that impression. Take care.

    A word on multiple attackers

    To be more specific, outgunned or not, I will never put myself in the position for a bunch of hoodlums to decide my fate, if I'm well armed or well trained. I have a 4 year old daughter with special needs, and it wont hurt my feelings a bit to spend the remainder of my life in jail if it means...

    Girlfriend Doesn't Approve of Carrying

    Explain the situation, take her shooting, and see what happens next. If she still has a problem with responsible gun ownership, it's time to find a new girlfriend.

    Mosin Nagant 91/38

    You're going to want to clean the internals before use. Just do a search for "sticky mosin" to see what I'm talking about.

    Ankle Holster-Practical or Not ?

    A nice P3AT or Ruger LCP on the ankle would be a fabulous backup gun.

    A word on multiple attackers

    I'd rather take my chances with god and a jury and try to put a few gang members in the ground. Experience from living in Philadelphia and Baltimore has made me appreciate that *most* gang members aren't exactly sharpshooters. Now, if we were dealing with some of the gangs around L.A., I would...

    You're absolutely right.

    Taking an animals life

    During the 2009 deer/gun season, I had 12 point buck run up the side of a steep valley wall to the overhang where I was about to set and eat lunch. 10 to 15 yards away from me, max. I pulled up my rifle, and depressed the trigger. *CLICK* Nothing. Misfire. I waited to make sure this wasn't...

    Ballistic Experiment (want to be part of a science experiment?)

    Dan, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you for taking the high road. I appreciate it. Thats a suggestion that could eventually save a life. As for the suggested iron sphere, it will vaporize at that speed before it hits the ground. I do appreciate the application of the speed of light...

    Ballistic Experiment (want to be part of a science experiment?)

    Im not asking for specifics, I already understand the "sanitized" characteristics for various systems. The only thing that saying "ICMB" over "HARP" affects is the angle of intercept, time until intercept, and the height of the intercept in the equation. Nothing else is used. I dont care how it...

    Ballistic Experiment (want to be part of a science experiment?)

    DISCLAIMER: Nothing is leaving the country. I am a US born student/citizen working with two American born physicists, and a Czech born (naturalized) academic advisor. This is university research being conducted by a well known university in Ohio. The DoD is aware of the research (it is a...

    Ballistic Experiment (want to be part of a science experiment?)

    1.) Essentially, we're dealing with artillery shells and missiles. There will not always be motive power once the projectile has left the point of origin. Thus, there are similar applications arrising from a standard firearm (handgun / rifle) 2.) I realize I can use dice as a sort of generator...

    Ballistic Experiment (want to be part of a science experiment?)

    Before we get things started, this will be a multi-post thread over the next few months. At 26 years of age, I'm finally able to say my bachelors degrees are basically "in the bag". One of those degrees happens to be a BS in Mathematics, concentrated in applied mathematics and physics. Thus, the...

    any THRers into ham radio?

    I'm not into HAM, but I collect and conserve vintage radios. My pride and joy is a rather rare Midwest that came out of Cincinnati's Union Terminal train station.

    Firearm laws you do support....

    Questionable hindrances to the 2nd Amendment: 1.) The government requires special permits to own automatic weapons and suppressors. 2.) CCW permits. (I do agree with the training aspect, though.) 3.) Barrel length restrictions - if I want a street sweeper for home defense, how is that hurting...

    UPS stole my gun

    Virtually all UPS vehicles have GPS tracking tied into the package delivery system and handhelds. It should be quite easy to find out where your gun went.

    Reynersons or Colorado Gun Works for Bersa repair?

    I'm using the factory mag, and mine hates Blazer. I felt around for sharp edges, but didn't seem to find any that were suspect. I can't even get another 100 rounds through it, because I'm averaging one jam / spring unseating every other clip, regardless of what ammo I use. I have NEVER had this...
