    Why did you start carrying a gun?

    I started as a police officer in 1968. It became second nature. Besides, due to my background, I know what goes bump in the night.

    Former Sheriff Deputy Advising Carrying on Empty Chamber

    In 20 years in Law Enforcement I have NEVER heard any training officer advocate carrying a weapon with an unloaded chamber. If things go sideways there might not be time to chamber a round. And just an aside, being a law enforcement officer does not automatically confer expert status on anyone...

    Gun Homicide Rate down 49%

    In less than two decades, the gun murder rate has been nearly cut in half. Other gun crimes fell even more sharply, paralleling a broader drop in violent crimes committed with or without guns. Violent crime dropped steeply during the 1990s and has fallen less dramatically since the turn of the...

    Stand Your Ground Reform Introduced in Florida

    While traveling in a rural part of Florida a couple years back, my wife and I (I am 68, she is 73) had a pickup full of young guys try to force us off the road, pointing to pull over. One of them looking out of the rear window saw me take my pistol from the door pocket and move it to the...

    Carry spare mags for CCW? If so, Full size or compact mags?

    Nope, If I can't stop the threat with 9 rounds I'm in deep doo doo already. OTH when I was in law enforcement the job might require me to go after the threat thus the possible need for additional rounds. Of course, in a known threat situation there was the shotgun.

    .380's?

    I carry a Bersa .380CC. I have owned and carried too many handguns as a police officer, now retired, than I care to list. I feel reasonably safe with my choice inside of 20 ft. I do get a kick out of the guys with .357 snub nosed revolvers. A 2" barrel in that caliber can't generate the muzzle...

    1911

    I find it interesting that a 100 year old design virtually unchanged still commands such respect and loyalty. I would count myself among the fans, I carried one as a duty pistol for years, don't currently own one mostly because of the inflated prices. Remember that was designed not too long...

    what's more acurate, shooting a handgun traditional, or sideways

    Hopefully I won't ever have to test this theory but, If the other guy is using the "gangsta' method, he will probably miss, and I probably won't.

    Just wondering why I'm not shot

    i am a Conservative Democrat. There are more of us than you might imagine, we just tend not to advertise it. And yes, I do support the right to carry.

    Constant firing of a M60 machine gun in a UH1-B didn't do mine any good.
