    A Carjacking in Detroit- A true story. Read, comment, and contribute

    your friend made a good decision after he made a bad one 1) color codes or not, dont turn your back to anything that could be a threat, ever. train to be faster, stronger, and smarter - not just a better shot. 2) once someone has a gun to your back, usually best to do as you are told...

    Apt defense / I think I want a 9 Ruger

    someone wanted an EMT with experience in shotgun wounds....guess i can comment on this one. most birdshot wounds are NOT lethal. i saw a guy who got a full load of some kind of birdshot in the center of his lower chest/abd at close range (opened the wrong door), he didnt fight anymore but he was...

    new to predator hunting, need advice on coyote gun

    im in alberta, so thats $40 CDN. got it off the alberta trapping regs website. from what ive read the market is soft because of the world wide economic situation. most fur goes to china or russia (usually through china) cause they dont have the stupid hippie sympathies that we put up with in...

    Dedicated Alaska / Canada big game "just one" rifle chambering

    i live in canada, use a win model 88 in .308 (lever gun) because thats what i have and trust. what was said about lever guns vs. bolt&semiauto earlier is absolutly true; you are only at the top of the food chain if you can shoot well, and do it fast enough. my top choice would be a guide...

    new to predator hunting, need advice on coyote gun

    Guns and EMS.

    here we go.... speaking from an EMT point of view: you are absolutly right about turning a person hostile! your response depends on the legal situation/protocol where you are and your training level, NOT the most popular choice by public opinion:eek:. Tactical medics are trained to disarm...

    Best Slide Lubrication

    i did a similar search on a bunch of forums, break free clp or FP10 are the most popular personally, i bought both, but my gun liked break free from the start so i never switched and there is never a consensus on anything about guns:evil:

    new to predator hunting, need advice on coyote gun

    so after what was by far the worst deer season of my life (biggest buck chased off by a car, dogs, coyotes & black cats spooking deer, people walking in the feild, and a hundred other things that went wrong every trip for 3 months; it was just un-freakin-beliveable) i ended up shooting a small...

    new twist on the wilderness/bear gun debate...

    thanks all for the responses. as far as the "if u havent come face to face..." comment, theory is far different from reality. ive been charged by both a black bear and coyote (bear stopped across the stream - no shots, coyote realized what 308 180gr means, a little to late) both times i had a...

    ranger/marlin 22 bolt removal

    nope, just tried it, doesnt work. the bolt seems to be attached to the tube mag some how, and the tube mage is permanently attached to the barrel, so there must be some trick to disconnecting the bolt?

    As you might have heard, Paul Martin (the prime minister of Canada, Liberal Party) has promised to ban handguns if he is re-elected in the federal election scheduled for January 23, 2006. As Canadian gun owners, we have seen this coming for a long time; restrictions have become progressively...

    Real world handgun over-penetration horror stories?

    just thought id add something 1st: from a medical standpoint the best way to kill someone is w/ an entry AND exit hole. 2nd: a bullet that exits after a COM hit will still have enough energy to kill someone else, as if it hits bone (ribs, sternum, spine) it is VERY unlikely it will exit...

    ok, random thoughts here. i dont support the use of drugs and have lost a few good friends to them, and seen many more lives ruined. i have been threatened and attacked by people altered by them. if you use drugs and attack me or my family while altered (or not) you will suffer the...
