    Right Hand, Left Eye

    I'm left eye dominant and shoot with both eyes open. I don't think that my cross dominance affects my accuracy (or lack thereof) at all. The only think that it seems to affect with me is that I naturally gravitate toward a Weaver stance, finding that it more naturally puts me inti a correct...

    Actually it is true. Cops do not determine innocence or guilt, that happens in the Courtromm, not on the street. The "presumption of innocence" AKA "Innocent until proven guilty" governs what has to happen in a Courtrom for a defendant to be convicted of the charges against him. With our...

    Apparently not, because when the pedestrian refused to provide even a last name, Officer Lyons took no further action and let him on his way.

    The presumption of innocence is not relevant to the scenario shown in the video. Guilt or innocence are determined in a Courtroom by Judge and/or Jury. Presumption of innocence means that once a case gets into Court, it is up to the prosecution to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt as...

    I've read the Constitution, but by no means do I have it memorized nor do I consider myself an expert on it. Over the years a very few occasion, I've been asked by an LEO to produce an ID, but I never did I feel as though the LEO's asking for it was particularly violating my constitutional...

    The behavior of carrying a firearm in public is covered in section 12031 of the California penal code. Specifically, carrying a loaded firearm is illegal, and often a felony. Regarding the fact that the pedestrian was legally carrying an unloaded firearm, that scenario is addressed in...

    As far as I am concerned, the cop was doing his job. Although California still allows open carry, but it is legal ONLY if the gun is unloaded. The cop validated that and was on his way. I don't have the whole of the California penal code memorized, but I don't think that stopping a person...

    Did you ever just QUIT?

    Same here. A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work as the saying goes...

    Re-cleaning stored guns?

    It probably depends to a degree on your local climate. I live in Southern CA, where it is warm and dry, and have not seen any issues with degradation during storage. My .22 rifle must have sat at my parent's place for for twenty years, before I collected it. I did give a cleaning after taking...

    California Legal Handguns?

    Welcome to CA, Maverick. Yes the laws are stupid, but they haven't yet completely banned firearms. The laws are a bit ponderous, but if you do have questions, the Department of Justice publishes a summary of California Firearms Laws which is pretty detailed but far easier to make sense of than...

    just got my driver's licence, now how do i get my firearms to the range safely?

    Lock them in the trunk and you should be good to go. And if you ever have a vehicle without a trunk i.e. pickup truck, put them in a locked container OTHER than the glove box or utility compartment, neither of which qualifies as a locked container as far as PC12026 is concerned. For antique...

    My cat almost shot himself!

    I'm glad that Leonard didn't cause serious damage. I do have a couple of cats, and knowing how cats will be cats, I keep everything that they are not allowed to mess with safely out of paw's reach.

    Can you get the slide to close by slamming in a mag?

    I certainly cannot. Shortly after I got my Beretta 92, I watched an episode of "Lock and Load" and saw R. Lee Ermey close the slide on an M9 just by slamming in the magazine. I then tried it on my gun, thinking I had discovered a new feature, but no matter how I slammed in the magazine, or...

    What is your OC weapon of choice? Why?

    Although I don't open carry and likely never will, if I did decide to do so, the weapon of choice would be the Beretta 92. Not only is it a very attractive pistol, it is the biggest gun I have.

    Both De-cocker and Manual Safety Pistols

    I own a Beretta 92FS (same deal as M9/96, etc) and it has a slide mounted manual safety, that also decocks the hammer, but both functions are actuated by a single lever, which I am guessing is different than what NapierM005 was asking about. There are other variants. The 92 G has the...

    Do you only purchase USA-made firearms?

    Made in America might be a tie breaker in two otherwise identical guns, but it would be fairly low on the list, and likley never a factor. Recently I was chose between a Beretta 92FS and an M9, same price for each and identical save for the three dot sights, radiused backstrap, and angled...

    Where do you shoot your handguns

    I prefer shooting outdoors, but since I live two blocks from an indoor range, that's where I shoot.
