That's my indirect way of saying the same thing.

I'll never carry a Taurus. I've had 4 Kel-Tecs that were 100% reliable, though.

NC is the worst. I worked out of an office up there for a couple of years. I grew up in Florida and have had verbal warnings for 20 over. In Greensboro, I got the second speeding ticket I ever had in my life. I had three tickets that first month. For the birthplace of Nascar, NC is a real drag...

Thanks. That's consistent with what I read in the penal code. The stuff about having to be on the way to and from a range, and about having to be in the trunk of the vehicle had a trunk seems to have been written with an abundance of caution.

Okay, thanks. I see now it's some kind of proximity sensor. It transmits as long as the battery stays good, and it's received on the phone. Probably by Bluetooth. I wonder if you can set the distance, if it's fixed, or if it's by receive power. If it had a similar range to Bluetooth, you...

I haven't been to California in at about ten years, but last time I went there it was legal to have a revolver and a speedloader of ammunition in a lockbox inside the passenger compartment of a vehicle. No ammunition attached or in a magazine. I am seeing on some sites that the way this is...

I hadn't heard of the driveway alarms. I have a set ordered.

It's crazy how popular the Nylon 66 got after they quit making them. We sold them at Kmart when I worked in sporting goods and I always thought they looked like a cheap piece of crap. Stamped steel with a plastic stock. They look like a bb gun.

Slow? How fast are you from concealment? A lot of people struggle to get it under 2 seconds. There is a wide range of situations where you're screwed from 0-2 seconds anyway. That's why situational awareness is important. Why? It works all the time. I'm not varying cover garments in summer and...

Does IDPA let you draw from a pocket now? I haven't been to an IDPA match in a long time, but I don't even know of a range around here that will allow you to draw from a pocket. My practice has been dry fire except once a year on my own property, and I sold that last year. If that's a common...

That sounds like a finders keepers situation. I know people are expressing privacy concerns. Your phone already tracks you everywhere you go. Even if you turn off your GPS. And companies are pretty cooperative with authorities. Who's to say you actually have it on a gun? At my last job we...

An hour or two. It had adequate ventilation that I was able to sleep it in that night.

That's not just for women. I've seen two grown men jumped from the corner of a building. Had a coworker jumped from the corner of a building. Poor guy got knocked cold with a piece of pipe for a wallet with less than $50 in it. I always try to stay away from parked cars, corners, and any other...

I was always interested in guns. But except for bb guns, I never did anything with guns when I was a kid. I worked the sporting goods counter at Kmart and had planned to buy a 10/22 or Marlin 60 when I turned 18. But by then I was married and my wife didn't like guns. My first gun was a Glock...

I emptied an entire can of bear spray in an 8x10 shed one time. It very quickly made the shed uninhabitable.

Statistically, the violent crime rates have gone down since the 90s. Everybody is on edge nowadays and I think because violence is being caught on camera more often and shown in the news more often.

I'm chuckling more about the gun as a missile comment as anything else. Because until 1967 seatbelts weren't mandatory, and their use wasn't mandatory until the 80s or 90s. In the time this was common, it didn't matter of the gun was a missile, because the passengers were already missiles...

Everybody who I have heard of who has done this, did it because in their state at the time it was illegal to have a concealed weapon in a car. It was believed that the safest place to have a gun was on the dashboard, because the cop couldn't claim it was concealed if it was in plain view on the...

The phrase "bust a cap" refers to percussion cap muzzleloaders or cap and ball revolvers. Street gangs are full of history buffs, apparently.

Past performance? I remember the 70s , 80s, and 90s being more violent than today. And people weren't so scared. We're safer now, but for some reason more vigilant. Being more vigilant and more careful is a choice. It's not a loss of freedom. No one is imposing this on anybody.
