I find it easy to get the point across to guys* by saying, "There are two things you do quickly in one direction, but in the other, you want to do as carefully as you can: zipping-up your fly and reholstering your gun." I think most guys have once and ONLY ONCE caught their wedding tackle in...

(AKA Chicago screws)

As long as they're in their seats, you can drive away a short distance (inside the same lot? Just in the next lot over?) and stop there to buckle them in. Just don't crash in-between :)

Ze, that's awesome man. Way to keep your head! Anything in particular you'd like to share, technique-wise that helped you avoid detection?

Thanks for the interest, everyone. jeepmor- on carrying and college: I opted to get my CCW a couple years ago. I live so close to campus, home is almost as accessable as the dorm was (best of both worlds). When I'm out and about, I'm armed. mpmarty, sacp81170a, Doc2005, Popov, and...

Though I haven't been mugged yet (knock on wood), I'm sick of getting (what I feel is) interviewed in parking lots, and after having read most of Marc MacYoung's stuff (http://www.nononsenseselfdefense.com/fringe.html#mugging), long ago, I view the sort of contact people are making with me as a...

Is it just me or does this thread raise anyone else's BS-O-Meter? I'd expect most people to have called the police after the 2nd or third knock-and-split. Why did Molon open the door? That's like voluntarily throwing your shield on the ground, all while you don't have your sword, no less...

Recommendation: Dichotomies work. Drop item C and change the following: "...Which Family? ..." "A. Your family." "B. A family that takes their own protection seriously." Make the sitting couple be the audience and make their non-visible guns be non-existant guns just by changing the...

+1 to NineseveN. Jeff White: If you're tasked with enforcing the law, and I consider some of the laws that are passed as wrong, then no matter how well-meaning you may be, you're still an "enforcer" of something that is, in part, wrong in my eyes (Analogy: Katrina gun confiscation /...

In the IT field, your thinking is called Security Through Obscurity and it doesn't work. Tell all your friends this. It was because of a post on THR about that emergency door release that I implemented a fix. Now, it's much harder to use that trick to get in. Had no one said anything about...

From: Bound for Glory: America in Color, 1939-1943 (Library of Congress Exhibition) Going back to the thread about how you take away the toy guns and the kids just make toy guns out of sticks, as they always have... "Photographer Unknown Children aiming sticks as guns, lined up...

I like having the option of just dropping the mag if I run into a doublefeed, rather than having to hold on to a partially-used mag while manipulating my weapon. Can't do that unless you have extra mags.

Wherever you go, test that the door actually locks. I'd also rather bring one of these with on vacation for a backup, rather than relying on a dinky chain: Master Lock No. 265 Security Bar.

Before, I usually had the car in park w/ the parking brake on when stationary, but not since I saw a video of a 3-car convoy of security contractors in Iraq get ambushed. After the convoy had stayed stationary for too-long, the lead car's driver engaged the parking brake. When the shooting...

Left eye/ right hand dominant here. Most of the time, when I go to get a sight picture on my handgun, my cross-dominance isn't an issue, but when it is, throwing my left eye off works and keeps working. If you're any good at Magic Eye 3D illusions, or with stereophotographs, you know what it...

Also, Borachon, by saying that screening is flawed because FAMs don't trust the passengers who've been screened is absurd. Everyone knows screening isn't 100%. To make it 100% would require more time and money than anyone has to throw at the issue. So, with such a high-risk endeavour, you...

I think everyone here would agree that you'd have to be pretty crazy to make a bomb, bring it onboard an aircraft, and then detonate it without saying a word to arouse suspicion, killing yourself and a number of people in the area. In my mind, at least, you'd have to be even crazier to tell...

With night sights, I can already be on-target before I ever flash the light on. In the situation of a guy with a gun in my home, with the sights pre-aligned, it could be as fast as a flash going off to ID the target with light and shoot, without having to worry about lining up sights in the...

I'd add: 8. Lube hinges/opener/rollers. Most if not all openers have reversing mechanisms if they encounter resistance. If your door is sticking somewhere, enough, it may be reversing back up, like someone else already said.

However improbable, the possibility still exists that somehow a gun may end up in your hands on-board an aircraft under siege. Just because you'll never carry one onboard doesn't mean you'll never use one on-board.
