Do what the police do, if legal...mount an AR carbine in your trunk. If you're doing everything else your supposed to do (keeping your eyes open, paying attention, staying yellow, etc) then you'll probably either: 1. See it coming and leave before it arrives 2. See it coming and get to the...

Occasionally...usually when leaving home to walk to car to go to range. I live on Main Street, so walking out to the car for a full range trip can be kinda fun...especially if I bring the AR...

On another note... If you read Col Grossman's On Killing he makes the point that in WWII, very few infantry men fired their weapons. Whether you agree with his work or not, the military re-designed their rifle training to make it "more real" and it appears to have worked; by Vietnam, most...

Always tell the cops, and I always offer to let them secure the weapon. At this point they all know me, roll their eyes, and tell me not to worry about it. ;)

Nice post Tamara. Well said. There's probably a million threads like this, but trigger is what sold me. Most of accuracy is built into the trigger, and I can hit easier, first shot, with a 1911. Age has nothing to do with it; newer is usually better, but sometimes not. Many times not...

Been carrying a SF 6P since just before Christmas. It's come in handy dozens of times, and it slips well into a winter coat. Not sure what I'll do in the summer, tho...

Can you hot what you're aiming at? If you can, use it. I can't hit for crap with a revolver. Autos I'm better. *shrug* Use what works. Plenty of people won fights with revolvers before the auto came along.

I like 9mm. Cheap to shoot, and with a nice, heavy gun, you dont get bothered by recoil. Never been a .40 fan, though, so take it with a grain of salt. The standard 92FS lacks night sights. That's it's biggest disadvantage...putting on night sights is a PITA. To correct that, you go with a...

Unfortunately, it was probably some crusty 70 year-old who knows more about firearms than all of us combined, but doesn't use a computer. There's probably a vast wealth of knowledge out there that we don't see, because some of the people who have BTDT aren't here telling us about it. We're...

ROFL I'm sure it would do the job just fine...:evil:

How about some variation of: "Yes, but it's not up to the individuals to protect others, but the authorities. That sort of attitude leads to vigilantism and causes more crime than it solves." or "Crime, like the poor, will always be with us. People who commit crimes do so no matter if...

Artherd, Thanks for the awesome info...the sight looks awesome, quite a bit closer to what I was looking at than the Trijicons I looked up earlier. I've never been hunting before, so I have no idea if it would be suitable...I've also no particular urge. It's just one of those things I think...

The healthy society aspect is something I think a great deal about. Not that I think it's my job to be a hero...but then again, whose job is it? Isn't each individual responsible for their own corner of the world? *sigh* Sometimes what's smart isn't the best thing to do... I usually follow a...

I've been debating an M1A in Scout for awhile now, possibly as a hunting rifle and SHTF-type weapon. I have an AR now that I plan on tweaking out for my wife (basically turning it into a light-weight carbine small enough for her to use well) and don't really want to duplicate weapons. OTOH, ARs...

I've been grateful I had it dozens of times, pulled it once, displayed it once, used it twice...but fortunately, only on road-kill. ;) The only time I pulled was shortly after I bought my first carry piece; a Beretta 92. As usual, having to pull was because I walked stupidly into the...

I keep the window cracked and the radio low in traffic. It gets cold in NH, but if I'm not driving at 30+, the window's down. You can hear footsteps sometimes, when you can't see. I try and make sure to leave enough space to go left/right even if I'm in traffic. I'd rather hop a curb than get...

I believe a friend (much into the martial arts) called this "soft eyes." I don't believe all that he tells me, but according to him, it's faster to react to actions that are scene through peripheal vision than dead on. *shrug* Can't hurt, will probably help.

The Compact CDP usually goes in a plain fanny pack. It's ain't comfortable, especially if I'm trying to move it, but it's better than not having it at all. I can't imagine carrying the Beretta, tho. The 29 ounces of the 1911 feels like a gold brick...the 42 of the Beretta would be like...

The bear in question tried to cross the road with her two cubs, and one got hit. I stopped to find out what was in the road, and discovered it was a cub...and momma and the other were still out there, NOT happy. I certainly wouldn't CHOOSE to use a .45...If I had my druthers, I'd take a 8mm...

Welcome to Heaven! But keep it quiet...we're trying to keep the liberals out!
