I've had one for many years. It's my favorite. I recently gave it to our son who just got a CHL. Good find! V

The search for sane public policy that does not trample the right to a self defense This post represents my thoughtful effort to create a simplified model to address the complex legal and emotional issues that have emerged from the recent Florida event “that we dare not speak its name”. That...

It has long been my understanding that at least a couple of old west desperados pulled and fired with both hands. Going from memory, one was John Wesley Harding (a Texan). I seem to remember that Billy the Kid did, as well. It's something I've been planning to try. It would seem to make sense...

Quote: "How many criminals are going to use a breaching charge for a home invasion?..... And if someone is trying to get into a house, you are recommending that the homeowner go to a window and look out?" I was troubled by that too. Not only would I be disinclined to do it if we had a window...

Quote: "So, what can we learn from this? http://abcnews.go.com/US/neighborhoo...ry?id=15949879 What could Mr. Zimmerman have done differently? I'm thinking: a) stay on phone with dispatch until PD arrives, providing description and location b) carry a less-than-lethal option, like OC...

Gentlemen, Over in the legal section there was a thread entitled "Rise of the Resistance: Restoration of the Castle Doctrine" (or something close to that. The thread is now closed but can be seen here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=649413 I presume that the moderators...

Well, you're lucky to be in what I consider possibly, THE most gun friendly state, although that honor may still go to Arizona. My concern would be getting arrested for brandishing, disorderly conduct, or whatever. If they were on a public thoroughfare they might have been construed to be within...

Guys, I am totally new to reloading so don't laugh if this question is dumb. But why could you not weigh each round on a gram scale?? V

Quote: "FWIW, Texas law appears to convey immunity from civil action over any injury or death resulting from a justifiable use of deadly force in self defense. " MT, While it would be wonderful if that were true. And I'm not saying it's not true. But if it is, it's a very very big surprise to...

Random, I will share my PERCEPTION although I may have it all wrong. In Texas, I don't think there's an issue as to an underage person having the right to self defense. If it's justifiable for an adult it's justifiable for a child. However, the underlying legal issue has to do with whether...

Josh, In my experience, as a right handed shooter, I tend to string shots a little to the right. Not that my judgment's any better than yours but I suggest you'd do well to shoot it a little more. It would appear that the slightest compensation in your sight picture (or even a slightly...

Quote: ""Wounding" someone will nearly certainly cause many big problems for you in the form of civil action, police action, etc. Just a really really bad idea to approach self defense with this mindset." Guys, We are in Texas. Both of our young adult sons are CHL holders. I consider that both...

Mr. Don, As other members have said, they all work. Although I don't generally have much brand loyalty, I will tell you this. Richard Lee, the founder of the Lee reloading equipment, was in many ways, the "Henry Ford" of the hand loading industry. He pioneered a no frills, inexpensive...

Well, don't forget the Colt and S&W model 1917s. They were the granddaddy of all the modern revolvers that use moon clips. They are long legged, lanky guns built on a frame that was, to my understanding, never given a frame designation. They're a joy to shoot. V

.300 H&H magnum. I had a mini-14 that was almost as bad. V

Wow! This has to be the most articulate, moving, passionate, and entertaining thread I've yet read on THR. Best to all. Vernon

Otto. Thanks. It's reassuring. Perhaps as soon as this weekend we will roll up some .38s. I recently gave one of our sons a vintage S&W .38. I can't remember if it's a model 10 or 13. But it's slicker than oily glass. He just bought a nice Milt Sparks IWB holster for it, on ebay. Best to all. V

dmazur, Sorry for the confusion. Here is the clarification: You are correct about the Lee loaders. What may not have been clear is that I also have the complete single stage Lee loading "kit". I acquired the full kit from a sporting goods store (as I recall) and it came with the "loading tool"...

niche for Lee loaders Quote: "Finally, you can get a hand priming tool that will give you a good "feel" when seating primers, and then you won't have to seat primers with a hammer. This may help with the laundry expense a little... Eventually, if you are happy with the Hand Press, you may...

Thanks! I've seen credible posts (here and elsewhere) to contrary effects. However, nobody has said they're dangerous to use. This is especially so (I hope) because I do not intend to push the envelope. At least not for now. V
