Wow, some of you would be no better than the anti-gun dictators you claim to hate. How about just... mind your own business, and stop trying to legislate how anyone else lives their personal lives? Is that really so hard?

I only half-agree with this. Like we've discussed already, carrying in a purse can be a poor decision, tactically-speaking. Can be. Consider for a moment how many women you see wearing dresses (for which they can implement a bra holster, I forget what it's called) on a daily basis vs...

I don't even OWN a purse, much less carry in one. I've always carried on my person, even though I'm small (5'3" 105lbs) I've found it quite easy to conceal my Shield with basically anything I wear. With the abundance of small guns on the market I really don't see why more ladies don't just get a...

This has bothered me for a long while every time I see any sensationalized act of violence on the media. Any time it involves or centralizes around a firearm, everyone points the finger at the firearm; mental health and other underlying causes are either ignored or discussed after emotions...

Brought a work buddy who hadn't ever shot a gun (in Texas!) to the range this summer. Gave him the basic safety and how-to rundown and we spent a few hours at the range. Needless to say he loved it and is now looking at a home defense gun. :D

Like others said, I should be free to carry anything, anytime. BUT - it should be more of an unwritten rule (moreso than it is now) that those who would choose to do so, not be radical or obnoxious. that's the problem I have now with some who choose to carry as a fashion/political statement...

Only reason I don't OC is because I'm only 5'3" and it would end up making me appear as more of an easy-grab target than a deterrence. And Superlite27 hit the nail on the head.

I'd get on board with it if#3 was OPTIONAL and not required.

Drugs + guns = probably not a good idea, Coloradans.... That said, I wonder if the gun was carried legally or not. I hate the sensationalism in the article. Gunfire "erupted," and only four, maybe five shots were fired? Ugh, puh lease.

Depends. In the south? Likely. In NY, CA, NJ (etc)? Probably not. Pretty extreme situation and I can't see big city cops realistically needing rifles from civilians, but hypothetically, if it could realistically bring a safer and quicker end to an immensely dangerous situation, I wouldn't...

:banghead: great article, though.

Coburn up. Says everyone is getting emotional and irrational. Advocates private gun owners to do a check on their buyer before selling with a nics "PIN number."

Menendez up, not understanding what concealed carry is all about. :rolleyes: 'if we have national reciprocity we'll have more gun violence!'

Manda, since this thread has largely been very informative and respectful towards you and your fiance, perhaps you may want to show him this thread so he can see for himself where you and other gun enthusiasts really stand. That may give him some perspective he may not get elsewhere. Just a...

I wrote both my senators (Franken and Klobuchar) and told them their "Yea"s have lost my vote. I know Klobuchar doesn't give a hoot; Franken might if he remembers how close his election was, but I will do my part to ensure the both of them see the light in 2014. The light of day as they stand...

x2. Pretty much anyone who has purchased a gun not from a private sale and those of us with CCW are already on record somewhere in a dark empty room. If it really comes down to it, the information is already out there. I don't advocate yelling from the treetops which guns you own and where you...

Some folks on both sides actually believe that leaving your mind open enough to simply stand in anothers' shoes is like leaving your mind open to radiation - like the opposing viewpoint will fester in your mind and magically turn you into one of them (which is another problem). Some folks truly...

Awesome. Brilliant idea to throw in the "without guns I wouldn't have my scholarships" line. Probably hadn't heard that one before, if they were even listening...

I live in midtown Atlanta. I see the type of people who live around here and sure as hell don't want them having free/more guns. The folks I live near are not the responsible firearm owning type at all. I believe inner city violent crime would skyrocket even more. Not saying poor people...

You guys are killer :evil: Here's another one for Mosins. Military-Style War-Ravaged Sniper Rifles Infiltrate U.S. Households For over a half-century, these towering weapons of war have been entering the United States by the crateload. The Soviet Mosin-Nagant is the cheapest and...
