I am leaning towards a trunk gun or something else that I could run to and get if needed. Making a 20 yard shot with my LCP against a guy with body armor has me a bit concerned.
I am wondering if anyone has any idea how much the brass weighs in 500 .22 LR cartridges?? I have been all over the internet and there is a lot of conflicting information. I don't have a good scale to weight anything so I am not sure. The lead portion of the .22 is pretty easy to figure out...
Someone on XD Talk posted a link to a really good story about this topic. The guy did an analysis of the NRA Armed Citizen column and then posted what he found.

The Revolver stories are great, but are still not quite the story I was looking for. I would love to find a story of a person that shot 15 times at a bad guy then had to do a reload under pressure. So far I have not come across such a story. I am starting to wonder if it has only happened...
I am wondering if anyone has ever come across a story of a carry permit holder shooting till his gun is empty then needing to reload??? I have never read one, I am sure they exist but in all my years of reading self defense stories never run across someone actually needing to reload?
If you...
I was reading some of my old posts when I cam across this post.
My son is now 5 1/2 and I bought him his first gun. It is a Red Ryder BB gun that is really the perfect size for him. The downside is at 5 he just doesn't have the coordination to shoot it yet. Even sitting on my lap he...
Buy Online
It is very simple start buying online. I had a gun store like that down in Iowa and finally got sick of their BS. I buy most everyone online or wait for a good gun show to come around.
For online sales check out CDNN or IMpact Guns.

My inlaws live in SE IA we see quite a few Coyotes while we are visting them. Last time we were down we saw two go through their yard that were way too big for normal coyotes but still had the same looking pelt and demeanor. I think they were Dog coyote mix. When you mix dogs and coyotes...
I am starting to get sick of picking up brass from the ground. I did finally get an old drop cloth from a painting buddy and have been using that with some success, but I would like to find something that stands on the ground and catches the brass as it exits the gun. I have seen the small...
I think any step towards CCW should be looked upon as a good thing. While this is less then ideal there is something to be said for taking baby steps towards our goal.
If 17 is an arsenal I wonder what they would call my collection!!! I am sure I have over 75 mags for all of my differant guns. I have close to 30 mags just for my XDs.
I would have to vote for my home state of WI. I think we shoot more deer every year that most other states.
I did live in IA a few years and they have some massive deer. In WI a 300lb deer would be unusual but I they bag deer that size regularly in SE IA.
