    Unarmed defense against a handgun

    The problem with practicing disarms with an airsoft gun is that handgun disarms are very fast and decisive. Any finger in the guard can be broken off. I have actually seen someone break their thumb doing disarm drills since they were gripping the gun so tightly. This is not to be taken lightly.

    Just discovered I am left-eye dominant, after over 30 years of shooting!

    Shooting with both eyes open is fine, but one eye still has to align the sights or look through the scope. It is always easiest if you use the dominant eye in alignment with the sights or the optics. If you use the non dominant eye, you may have problems. If you use your non dominant eye you...

    I'm quitting...

    I am sorry if my response isn't what you want to hear, but if you are spending $5000 a year on guns and the two of you only make $90,000, there could be a reason for her concern. I don't know how cheaply you can live, but if you have bills, mortgages, car payments, and two kids, spending that...

    COPs kills

    The last two guys I know that were injured at work were undercover guys driving without seatbelts - the thought being that your typical drug dealer / buyer does not wear a seatbelt, so doing so kind of raises a redflag when you are undercover. The other issue that has come up is using Glocks...

    Iraqi terrorist snipers learning from US expert

    Does anyone really think this guy is showing good weapons handling and position? I know it's just a posed photo, but I am not impressed. The butt of the stock is in his elbow, no sling, he is using his left eye, he is shooting offhand, he is canting the gun (so much for elevation and windage)...

    Would you be offended?

    This bothered you enough to post it in a gun forum? I think you are way too sensitive. Would any of you guys really told her off? Thats a bit over the top I think - who cares what she thinks? She did say have a nice night, right? If you were buying condoms and the lady said " what is with...

    Car following you late at night - what to do?

    Never get out of your car unless it doesn't run or unless it is on fire. As long as it still moves never exit the vehicle. Call 911, drive to a police station, firehouse, anyplace public.

    (FL) Robbery Fatal For Bystander

    Amy, I have been following this thread all along but really didn't know what to say since I have never been in a situation like yours. I know it was three years ago today that your father was killed, and I have been thinking about him, you, and your family quite a bit lately. I am finding...

    WI: March 12th submachine gun shoot CANCELLED

    I am actually kind of relieved that you cancelled it to be honest. The liberal media would have spun this into some kind of "look at the gun nuts that want CCW" situation. I personally bristled a bit at the concept of using a machinegun shoot to raise money for the cause of CCW. In the eyes...

    I can't believe it: A friend and classmate of mine murdered.

    Why don't you just buy him a corsage and take him to the prom while you are at it. JM

    Found an interesting website

    I think it is interesting that someone made an outrageous assertion, that many of us, from our experience, would think total BS, and some of us are being asked to prove him wrong. WHht happened to the concept of proving yourself right? Police departments do get a price break over the public in...

    I want to say I am Sorry (merged)

    Guys - I think the website and the girl are bogus. Does any of her story make any sense? My guess is the owners of the website are playing a joke on THR. Sociology is typically a college level course - not too many college students have to save their allowance to buy a DVD. Not many 12...

    Shoot out....

    Shoot running backwards until you slide lock or until he goes down - then run like hell. Prone is bad because you commited to staying and your target is your head, standing and shooting eliminates the escape without someone getting shot outcome, and moving laterally also commits you to finish...

    What the troops are buying with their own money

    Everything this article says seems to ring true with the independent contractors in IRAQ. I wonder if there was some confusion between government and independent employees? JM

    Check your doors for burglar proofing

    No - the pins have set screws that won't allow them to be knocked out without having the door open to loosen the screws. JM

    Mugging Scenario (with picture)

    Where do you guys come up with the time to do this stuff? One thing - scared people don't tell the perps "OK - I am just going to reach for my wallet in my back pocket - and then do it slowly". They freak out and fumble for it is quickly as they can to try to end the encounter. JM

    Apache Knife Fighting & Battle Tactics

    From the limited reading I have done, I have to say that the whole concept of competition knife fighting is a bit confusing. What kind of injuries do these guys sustain in a competitive knife fight. Do they use sharp edged weapons in competition of do they use dummy knives and score hits? I...

    Who steals a cat?!

    Cat's are actually doing reconnaissance for aliens so these might have been Men In Black. JM

    Check your doors for burglar proofing

    Well they would have a hard time kicking it open since it opens to the outside but I get your point. JM
