    What age to train a child to shoot.

    I figure when my kids can remember to feed and clean up after their pets, and do their chores, they're ready for the responsibility of firearms training.

    What is the least useful self-defense advice you have ever heard?

    By far, the stupidest advice on self defense I have ever seen or heard of is on this website: http://www.isp.state.il.us/crime/saconfronted.cfm That's right ladies, if someone attempts to rape you, just make yourself throw up on them.

    It happened to me, Carry stories

    Same time and place, same bar. I had just started what was going to be a long night. One of the regulars was Dan, an electrician that lived in the apartment building behind the bar. On the day in question, Dan was quietly drinking a beer and, I thought, talking to one of the bar stains that...

    It happened to me, Carry stories

    Place: Detroit Time: Mid-90s, summer, 3am Situation: Just finished work at a local dive that paid well enough and allowed for my school schedule. Since the neighborhood was one of the highest concentrations of crackheads in the city, I decided that my life was more important than following the...

    Enlightening article

    When it comes to terrorism, I don't worry so much about a Mumbai-style attack as I do about a BESLAN-style attack. Either way, having someone on scene that is trained is better than someone who, in their arrogance, avoided training in favor of more tacticool stuff. I tend to train for more...

    Traffic predators

    One that I know of is when you're driving along and suddenly, a distraught person runs in front of your car pleading with you to stop. They come up to the driver's side window and scream that they need help. While you're distracted, an accomplice enters through the passenger side and puts a gun...

    How Many Battlefield Pick Ups Still in Europe?

    Camp Withycombe in Oregon has a unique military museum with a huge gun collection. Among the huns they have there is an M1917 Enfield rifle that was churned up in a French farmer's field sometime in the 1960's. Despite having been buried for some 50 years, it still fired and functioned.

    Oh, the Irony...

    Yeah, and after the war, they dumped them in The Channel. We need to start an Underground Railroad to help British firearms owners emigrate to America (with their guns). Same for Zimbabwe and South Africa.

    Reality has set in...an non-warrior mentality.

    To get into the mindset, I had to accept that I was going to die. No matter how much I want to live, eventually I am worm food. The key is asking yourself, "How do you want to die?" Do you want to die on your knees, begging some miscreant to spare your life? Or do you want to die fighting? I...

    How effective are small arms against helicopters?

    I saw an episode of 'Miami Vice' where Sonny Crockett shot down a helicopter with his handgun. :) Seriously, considering that a helicopter is just a big metal box attached to an engine, there's lots of space for bullets to pass through without hitting anything. Unless you hit an oil or fuel...

    Am I paranoid or just prepared?

    Do a Google search on the Carr brothers in Wichita and then let your wife read it. I'll bet that that will be the last complaint you ever hear. Here's a link: http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/notorious_murders/classics/carr_brothers/index.html

    9x39 Russian "Whisper" data

    You could go with a TC Encore for the initial platform. Barrel makers will make any caliber you want if you supply the reamers.

    Officers in botched raid awarded medals

    I like this guy's take on it: "The criteria is "the officers 'performed very bravely under gunfire and made smart decisions'"? OK, well their victim, Mr. Khang "thought he was being robbed. Khang shot through his bedroom door at the officers until he understood who they were." Why is...

    slam fires and machine guns

    Again, too broad of an interpretation. As the agent on the stand said, if you fire a side by side shotgun and both barrels go off, you now own a machinegun. Really? Is there some epidemic of illegal modification shops that I'm unaware of? I mean, if someone is intentionally modifying a gun...
