The ultimate cheesy subliminal ad Does anybody remember the ultimate cheesy ad? The one for some kind of gunsmithing program that used to run in all the major magazines. It had a guy behind the counter of a gun store. He's got a stock with the tool for measuring drop on it, and he's holding it...

You've failed to make your case again, resorted to talking smack about someone you've never met, and tried to score points with a typo. I'm not going to waste time dragging this out. We disagree, and I'm done here. :rolleyes:

Seeing video of someone quickly drawing and firing without a holster does not prove that he could not have managed the same with a carefully chosen holster, particularly since it was evidently a well chosen moment with suprise on his side. Also, to declare something a sucess, you should be...

Obviously, there is plenty of doubt, as is evidenced by this three page thread. :rolleyes: As I pointed out before, the belief that you know when the altercation is going to start, and how it will proceed is a sign of dangerous complaceny. :evil:

Just mount a ballistic sheild on the front of your walker Tuner. :neener:

For me, its not significantly faster, and the danger of having the weapon lost or out of position in a physical altercation outweighs it dramatically. I assume that an incident will be sudden, violent, and not necessarily what I planned for. I try to prepare accordingly. The I hope I'll have the...

We carry guns in order to be prepared for unplanned, violent, periods of vigorous physical activity. It's easy to get complacent, when it hasn't happened recently, but a good holster will, in most cases, keep your gun more secure and accessable during just the kind of incident that we carry to...

This looks like the story, and I have three brief thoughts to add. First, if they were using the vehicle as cover to get close enough to put the gas in the right window, instead of sending an individual officer over the fence into an open back yard, I can easily see hitting the house. Might...

Here's a link to a story on the 26th, about the parking problem, Family Living In Van May Be Forced To Move and a link to the coverage after the arrest on the 28th. Family Living In Van Arrested Both stories include video, but not of the arrest. The owner of the van states that he...

You might try and reframe the issue as a self defense question, and post it over in the Strategies and tactics section. There may be someone over there that can answer your question. I'd include IN in the title, so your more likely to catch the attention of someone with the specific info your...

The front of the trigger guard looks like it would be an excellent guide for loading without looking down while shouldered. It angles right into the port. Might not be pretty, but it looks very practical to me. I'd like to handle one and see if it works as well as it looks.

Its a variation on the "419", or "Nigerian" scam, which is a decendant of the classic confidence game "the spanish prisoner". This is a good overveiw of the situation. The specific version that they tried on you is listed on the second page under "overpayment". I know that I've warned off...

Edited the above to include the number of the specific post that was quoted, sorry about the confusion. I would also observe that the original poster put forward the idea of using handcuffs to intimidate someone into going away without drawing anything else. If someone chooses go into a...

Weapon-wise, the worst of both worlds Jonathan, Handcuffs, while they can be dangerous, are not something a wise man would choose to use as a weapon. Think of it like a 1" open end wrench. It is a substantial peice of metal, could be a dangerous weapon. I certainly wouldn't want to get hit...

Central Texas, First, you might want to read the original post carefully. The poster is looking for something to pull out when he would not be justified in drawing a gun. A very different scenario from what you are describing. Second, a handgun is not a magic wand, some people will refuse...

Some good reasons have already been mentioned, and to them let me add few more. Someone willing to lie about what happened could just as easily accuse you of attempted kidnapping, or impersonating an officer. So handcuffs just changes the felony that they're going to try and pin on you...

First, the ambulance is gonna take him to the hospital anyway, and we are going to end up paying that bill. Second, whose to say that there was a big bag of coke? Can I make that call, as a law enforcement officer, and just take someone's property? Will you trust me to determine the presence of...

Well, if they were going to give him due process before taking his property (and we all think seizure of property with out it is a bad thing, right?) Then they might as well go ahead and charge him. We, the taxpayers would end up paying the hospital bill anyway. Besides, the truck is going to...

Notice the important part He will be charged, so statute of limitations doesn't run out, and the warrant will remain in the computer so that IF he recovers and comes back, he can still be thrown in jail. They just don't want to put his hospital bill on the local taxpayers.

This would appear to be a much more limited change than the headlines are suggesting.
