In reference to the experience of <MOA, why did you not jump back in the truck and go to another gas station? I have been in situations like that multiple times in Houston. Each time I said "Howdy" very loudly, got back in the truck and left asap. The only responses I received were surprised...

Made my day!

Thanks for the insight and resources! I have been trying to find ways to share these kinds of things with my wife without intimidating her or making her paranoid or tuning me out, saying that I am paranoid. Keep it coming!

Sorry about your loss. Hope it turns up. I spent several years in that neck of the woods... If nothing else, these are no major cities closer than a 5 hour drive. The scumbags that took it will likely not travel to unload it, hopefully.

MtnCreek, I have to say that I have seen something like this before. As a father, I am very saddened. I don't know that I would call the situation dumb so much as sad. A great opportunity to have some quality father-son time at the range lost over the dad's poor choice. I hope that he takes...

More fun along the same vein... http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=594471 Enjoy. -Gig 'em-

+1 Chindo18Z. You took the words right out of my mouth...errr off my fingertips... :)

Best couple hours I spent in a while...read the whole thing... :D

Dirty Bob, you did the right thing and the best possible outcome happened, IMO. Good&Fruity: I do not want to pick a fight, but this attitude bothers me. What happened to helping a neighbor out? Calling the police does not put you in harm's way, generally. I could never consciously...

Amen, Scimmia! I have to say I like Crystal's money plans... little ring, big gun. :)

Well, since no one else here has said it... Congratulations MagnumDweeb and crystalrose on your pending nuptials. We wish you the best. Back to topic. I would be ecstatic if my wife walked up to me and said that she really wants a Kimber, or any firearm for that matter. She shoots mine, but...

Gotta love a Ma Deuce. She just makes me smile.

Thanks for the history lesson folks. The thinks you learn...especially when you are not expecting it...highjacked threads. My first hunting rifle was a Win M94. I still have it, shoot it, and love it. I think slowbutsure summed it up pretty well: To each their own. OP, figure out...

For me, it truly depends on more information than has been given. Is it a ftf, a fte, clearable, requires disassembly to clear, better/worse with certain ammo, etc. If it failed randomly and was not readily clearable, I would not carry it. My reasoning is that my having a gun, albiet...

Easy answer: To say the we did. Bragging rights are a powerful motivator. Famous last words, "Hey y'all, watch this!!" A while back, I had the bright idea to shoot a pistol gripped pump 12ga 3 1/2 magnum slug with 1 hand. Hurt so much I had to do it again...

Three less predators. The pharmacist is hardly a predator. Did he do wrong, yes, but he is not a predator. He is a hero to many. One of the predators will be back on the streets...soon.

The part of this sad mess that really irks me is that the 16 year old will be back on the streets soon. I think we agree that the pharmacist went overboard, but I think the 16 year old should have been tried as an adult. In first degree felony cases in TX, that happens often enough. The age...

Jeff65, well said. As for the whole topic...wow...civilian urban warfare is a big stretch in our current society. Home and personal defense, on the other hand is right up the our alley. I'll almost always take a 30 cal over something smaller, but that is me. 7.62x39 would overpenetrate...

Thank you Maverick223. I realized my flub when I read back over it just now. Oops. What I should have said was design genius of John M Browning and manufacturing quality/genius of Colt Arms, Samuel Colt's descendants. Excellent pistol anyway you look at it though. :) Thanks. -Gig 'em-

I was introduced to guns at a very young age by my father and grandpa. I was the country boy that learned on a single shot .22 shooting old oil cans. I loved guns and hunting from then on. When I was in the 6th grade, I started reading Guns & Ammo and Field & Stream and haven't stopped. That...
