    So how much longer you think exploding targets will last?

    Out of curiosity, is tannerite what is used in Etch-a-sketch? I wonder because in Breaking Bad, to blow a lock, he took the material out of a bunch of Etch-a-sketches and used it as an explosive device. I think tannerite is a dangerous as a 5 gallon can of gasoline in the wrong hands. You...

    Ohio issues more than 58,000 new concealed-carry licenses

    Myself and 3 of my brothers (plus two of their wives) and even my 94 year old father all have CCWs (technically called CHLs - concealed handgun license). At our family re-unions we haven't been robbed once. :cool: I also like the fact that you can open carry without a license in Ohio (if you...

    Odd CCW/LEO encounter today...

    TY Texas, I was just searching for that. What HASN'T changed is: "(4) Knowingly have contact with the loaded handgun by touching it with the person's hands or fingers in the motor vehicle at any time after the law enforcement officer begins approaching and before the law enforcement officer...

    Odd CCW/LEO encounter today...

    This WAS the law, but I'm pretty certain that was eliminated effective Sept 30 of this year - one of the good changes that came with the enactment of the restaurant carry bill (can't remember the HB# off hand)

    Profanity

    I had to actually laugh out loud..... Now, I don't swear.. I mean, if you don't count when I stub my big toe in the middle of the night... or maybe when that blue-haired lady swerves across 3 lanes to exit right in front of me ... and,well, yeah, I guess when I get awakened by a company...

    Odd CCW/LEO encounter today...

    Not to belabor this, but you have been fortunate to have been stopped by OSP officers who used discretion and didn't make an issue of "prompt notification" or simply accepted being handed the carry permit as sufficient notification. That is the unfortunate thing about our present law in Ohio -...

    Odd CCW/LEO encounter today...

    If you are driving in Ohio and are pulled over AND ARE CARRYING you are required to notify as soon as reasonably possible (lots of ambiguity over what reasonable means). So, if you are stopped in Ohio while carrying, hand the officer your carry permit, but make sure to verbally notify as soon...

    Odd CCW/LEO encounter today...

    Trust me, they do! I got one about 20 years ago from the "bear-in-the-air" (which was actually OSHP aircraft "rented" by the local Dayton police). I used to carry a CB in my truck for just such reasons and during nice weather you'd hear the "bear-in-the-air" warning broadcast by truckers...

    Would you give this gift to your boss?

    Oh, I'm certain it's not the money. I really think it is just procrastination and having a lot on his plate - both work-wise and play wise. I called him tonight about a work issue I had to go out for and he was preparing venison from the deer he bagged Friday morning. It is possible that he...

    Would you give this gift to your boss?

    Wow, what a cool boss you are! You hiring? :) Actually, my company was just recently bought out so we have a new parent company. The old company was headquartered in Denver.

    Would you give this gift to your boss?

    Yeah, definitely something to consider. Actually, one of the techs emailed me saying it was a violation of the companies code of conduct to give gifts to superiors. I quickly checked via email and an HR person emailed me back saying it was a personal gift and was perfectly acceptable. I think...

    Would you give this gift to your boss?

    I am a telecom tech in Ohio and have about 15 other co-workers in the Ohio/IN/KY area. Our manager is an avid hunter and is also pretty pro 2A. He has mentioned that "someday" he would like to get his Concealed Handgun License, but just doesn't get around to it. Soooo, I thought I'd ask the...

    J-frame and laser grip carry, experiences?

    +2 I have a 642 that came with factory CT grips. I really like them. I know I SHOULD be at the range more often, but I just got get there. I don't understand some of the arguments against laser grips - if someone asked me, I would encourage them to get the grips. Worst case - you turn them...

    642 Club Part Three

    Thanks. I DO feel better having it out. I think the odds were miniscule that in the time of crisis, the lock would fail...but why even have that miniscule chance if it can be eliminated. The plug looks pretty good. As I carry this for purely SD, the aesthetics don't bother me nearly so much...

    Romney and guns?

    Just out of curiosity you will be voting for........??

    Romney and guns?

    Well, that is a valid point. Saying that, the point is really only valid if you have a Democratic President who actually cares about the RKBA crowd. If he thinks he can buy their votes with government handouts why care about 2A rights? Is there danger Romney could "turn south" on gun rights...

    Romney and guns?

    Well said and spot on. Romney is NOT my hero, by any stretch. I didn't feel "good" about voting for Kasich in Ohio, but I knew at the end of the day, he was doing less damage than Strickland was doing (via appointments). It's still some time away. Perhaps we will have a candidate that is...

    Romney and guns?

    Ummm, read my previous posts. SCOTUS appointments weigh heavily into eventual 2A rights/laws. Romney HAS to realize that it is extremely dangerous politically for him to mimic what he did as governor as far as gun rights. Obama has appointed a number of very anti-gun federal judges as well...

    Romney and guns?

    Ummm... if Romney is the media's "chosen one" why did they gush all over McCain instead of Romney in 2008? Because they saw McCain as the weaker of the candidates to beat Obama. Polls show Romney with the best chance (as of this moment) of beating Obama, so why on earth would the media make...
