    "A 32 gun in his pocket for fun..."

    Two 9mm to rent, which ones ?

    I bought the same coupon ... and was hoping to run some rounds through a Beretta and a Bersa 9UC. I'm actually looking for a new 9 for HD (not for carry ... I have a Bersa Thunder CC .380 for that duty). I'll definitely be buying at least one extra box of ammo for the hour. I might be down there...

    Snipers at the Super Bowl

    I'm not naive enough to think that there wouldn't be serious preparation for dangerous and unforeseen events at one of the most high-profile events of the year, but at the same time it's more than a little off-putting to think that there were snipers in the rafters, apparently pointing loaded...

    Successful use of EDC items

    Just ran across this piece on CNN about a former LEO and current firearms instructor who used his weapon to blast open a window of a car containing children ... the car was in a river, upside down, after skidding off the road. The gentleman also used his knife to cut a seat belt trapping one of...

    Merry Christmas Giveaway!

    I don't have use for the item, but thought I'd say thanks for the generosity anyway ... that's a THR attitude if ever there was one. Happy holidays.

    Guns, girls and great music

    Hey, all: Thought I'd share a link to a YouTube music video from Mayer Hawthorne, a Michigan guy whose terrific original tunes take a page from that good ol' Motown sound (the stuff I grew up with here in the D). What more could you want in a vid? Great music, a gorgeous girl, and a nice arsenal...

    Would you wear this?

    I'm a guy who hopes he never has to even come close to pointing a weapon at another human being, evil or otherwise. I will if I have to, though. But displaying such a flippant attitude about a human life, on a T-shirt no less is, frankly, rather disgusting. When my grandfather taught me to...

    What all do you carry everyday?

    Yup ... I meant to do a reply to your post, rather than to the thread ... but it was certainly #103 that I was noticing.

    Thinking of buying a used Beretta 92FS

    Awesome, just awesome. You guys have put together a great thread of advice ... I thank you for sharing your experience and opinions. I will definitely drop a note in here to let y'all know here I ended up (Buy this one, buy new, buy the Taurus, get the Bersa UC9 I was thinking about before I...

    What all do you carry everyday?

    Maybe I'm the only one to notice, but a foot or so of duct tape wrapped around a pen is the action of someone who thinks about the 'what ifs?' in life and acts accordingly. Bravo. It's the difference between someone saying "I didn't mean to do that" (I think I've trained that out of my kids) and...

    Thinking of buying a used Beretta 92FS

    Found a Beretta 92FS in the local pawn shop today for $450. I've been trying to decide on a 9mm for HD; something larger than my EDC Bersa 380, but still possible to carry in cooler months (heck, a few hundred thousand military men and women can't be wrong, right?) It feels like a very solid...

    walters PPKS loaded with out the saftey on?

    OK, anyone tallying the score? I carry the Bersa Thunder 380 with one in the tube and the safety off. I can, however, draw the weapon and flick the safety off with my right thumb pretty quickly ... that's how I initially trained with this. But as I became more confident in the hardware, I...

    What's the NEXT gun you're gonna buy?

    Next purchase for me? Looking at a Bersa Thunder 22 for a couple of reasons. I carry the 380, at least as much as is legally possible, and want to practice with the same platform as inexpensively as I can ... going to get decidedly good with that weapon. It's also a nice choice for my kids as...

    Picked up my CPL yesterday in MI

    Thanks ... good advice from all Thanks to all for the replies and advice. AFS: Will do the Wally walk soon (good one; I smiled at that vision). RailDriver: I hear you. Upon re-reading my post, it sounded a little naive. Guess I meant I'm prepared to begin the journey toward that goal, and...

    Picked up my CPL yesterday in MI

    It was a profound feeling walking up the steps of an old courthouse to get my CPL in Michigan yesterday. A year ago I owned no weapons, and now I'm prepared to defend my life and property and the lives of my family. I hope I never need to use a weapon for anything other than shooting at the...

    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    Hello, members: Joined today after reading several hours of posts in the past weeks as I made decisions relating to becoming a gun owner and moving forward to a CPL in Michigan. I've seen the great variety of people here as an asset to the strength of this group, and the way that the 'high...
