    Police Academy assignment on CCW benefits – please help!

    Thanks to all for your help! My goal is to help 42 new cops understand that CCW holders are folks with a respect for the law, as well as being people who refuse to walk through this world as sheep. Thanks again!

    Police Academy assignment on CCW benefits – please help!

    In two weeks I am going to present a five minute talk about the benefits to society about concealed carry weapons. Obviously, I have some great sources right out of the gate, particularly John Lott’s books. I just want to ask my THR friends for your tips, help, suggestions, etc. In...

    This happened to me

    The old saying is, "Some things are hard to do, but easy to live with. Some things are easy to do, but hard to live with." What you did was (IMHO) completely the right thing to do. Ignoring your personal safety to a great extent, you took a stand against a tremendous wrong. I have no...

    Who are you boycotting? And why?

    I'm boycotting baseball. I've been an avid Red Sox fan all my life but the strike talk last summer finished me off. Screw those overpaid, whiny richard-heads. Oh, and yes I've been boycotting the French for pretty much my entire life. Remember Howard Stern's first book, Private Parts? He...

    Man uses a gun to save his child in NY, faces jail time

    I saw this man last night on Hannity & Colmes - what a sad situation. Hannity swore to pressure the NY A.G. to drop all charges. What an F-ed up state... http://www.nydailynews.com/front/st...03p-49473c.html Ronald Dixon froze in fear when he saw an intruder enter his toddler son's...

    "Celeen, get the gun!" (Pittsburgh)

    Great story - I guess Sarah Brady would rather have the woman sit down and negotiate with the knife-wielding crackhead... :rolleyes:

    IRAQ War Strategies?

    I think that we have three main goals to accomplish when we attack: 1.) Kill Saddam and his cronies; 2.) Take control of the oil fields to avoid the burning ala Kuwait, and; 3.) Prevent any N-B-C attacks against allied troops and Israel. All of this is to be done while trying to prevent...

    KY Moose, I'm not a big conspiracy theory guy but I agree with your post. KP95DAO - c'mon, man, don't keep us hanging! Say what you think!

    benEzra Does Beantown

    Hello, BenEzra - First of all, my prayers to you, your son and the rest of your family. Our gun laws may suck but our medical facilities are top notch. May he recover soon! As for where you were - consider it the bastion of liberal idiocy. You'd have a better chance of finding a...

    SCARY, sacry Scenario!!!?!?!?!?!

    That is one fine woman! Thanks for your story, HS/LD. And, as someone pointed out, that's one of two million annual crimes prevented by a responsible gun owner.

    (MA) Group challenges notion that gays, guns don't mix

    Good for them. They want what we want - to be safe and to exercise our Constitutional rights. The more Americans that feel this way, the safer our society is.

    Fl Deputies... two shootings in two days.

    I'd rather be reading a post about a deputy shooting a POS who wanted to whack the cop with a table leg than reading about a cop on life support because he was whacked by said table leg... As for the Steak n' Shake, I agree - very good shooting! Here's guessing that the cop does his range...

    How many here also belong to GlockTalk?

    I love GT. It's a great site and the vast majority of the members are good folk. I was Steve Tuna on TFL. I enjoyed that site very much and THR seems to have done a great job of carrying on the TFL feel. I don't see any of the boards as being mutually exclusive. I take them as they are...

    Did anyone happen to seewhen a hacker got into the DU site on election night? He posted a captured photo of James Carville with a trash can on his head and in bold letters stated: ALL YOUR SENATE ARE BELONG TO US! I truly almost peed my pants laughing. It was a great moment to be a...

    Australia: "'Wearing guns like jewellery' "

    Quote from the article: "The three men of islander appearance burst into the store." Hey! I resemble that remark! As the bumper sticker says, "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns." Or should that be, ""When guns are outlawed, only islanders will have guns." :cool:

    Pakistan Denies U.S. Claim of Right To Enter While Pursuing al-Qaeda, Taliban

    Shades of Cambodia... Pakistan worries me - nukes, terrorists, out of control warlords in the Afghanistan border region, a pissed-off neighbor - pretty scary situation. I think we need to back up Musharoff (sp?), get a good set of GPS readings on their nuke locations and be ready for...
