Using the descriptors "liberal" and "anti-gun" interchangeably is eliteist, divisive and counterproductive to our cause. While I aviod pigeonholing or limiting my convictions, beliefs and opinions to the confines of political nametags, I know there are many, many people who consider themselves...

Lol! If all these evil people are constantly attacking you, screaming at you and berating you in spite of the Glock on your hip, that sure dispells the big myth about the intimidation factor of open carry! :D This exchange makes me wonder if Starbucks actually has a pro-gun policy or simply no...

Do yourself a big favor and articulate your position more sensibly the first time around. This is an internet forum where most people know nothing about one another other than what is posted. Whatever assumptions were made about you were based solely upon the way you came across. Thanks for...

That right there is the problem with some who open carry. They are out to intimidate, draw attention and make a big issue of themselves. The fact that none of the usual vocal pro open-carriers commented on this statement says a lot about how common and accepted this mindset may be. If the...

Nice gun and beautiful pics. What are the holster options for the Match with the rail?

I don't get it... If having a rail on your pistol is such a huge issue, why on earth would you buy one in the first place?:confused:

Thanks for the clarification - and I don't mean to quibble - but the .38 Super is actually expressly forbidden in Mehico.:) Aye yi yi Sir! On that we most certainly see aye to aye.:D

Wrong. The .38 Super was created because the handgun cartridges of the day (predominantly .38 Special and .45ACP) could not reliably defeat car doors and light body armor. The Super is a SUPERior penetrator.:D

Mathematical accuracy does not always imply honesty RS14, social statistical conclusions are drawn from the results of a focused study involving the gathering of data from a representative sample of a given population. I am not arguing the mathematical accuracy of the data used to arrive at the...

This is the point that many missed. Only 6% of the people who were actually shot were in posession of a gun at the time of the shooting. THAT SAMPLE INDICATES THAT THOSE NOT CARRYING A GUN WERE 15.5 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE SHOT IN AN ASSAULT than those who did have a gun. Of course this does...

You found it necessary to describe the racial makeup of the two perps. What was the racial makeup of the the other players, or maybe that's not a relevant detail? Regardless, based on the few other details provided, it sounds like you did what anyone else should have done and you didn't go...

The gravity of a life and death situation trumps all other considerations given that the action taken is reasonable and taken solely for the purpose of preserving an innocent life. The example above about the driver's license is a very good one in the general sense, but it fell a bit short in...

The perpetrators being caught and brought to justice should hopefully provide some closure and a small measure of comfort to you and your family. Now that they are being dealt with, forget about them to the greatest extent possible. They are not worth more than the passing acknowledgement...

We have a big problem down here with a large number of non-uniformed cops driving around in unmarked vehicles - even conducting random traffic stop-checks for drugs or illegal firearms. I constantly complain and joined the outcry against this. I've personally told them I have instructed my wife...

I often do the "fondle check" when I am carrying a wallet holding a large amount of cash. One thing I do catch myself doing when carrying OWB is occasionally checking to make sure my shirt hasn't ridden up over the holster. Here's a bit more detail on the ultimate concealed carry gun hat: Note...

Lgb, the way things turned out, you are of course right. I acted on a conditioned response to an everyday situation (fender bender), but I failed to check that response against the circumstances under which it actually occurred. Lesson learned. Billw - your textbook definition of bourgeoise is...

Conwict - Not a bit of it - it's all part of the discussion! I was reluctant to post this initially after reading a thread a while back where a gentleman from South Africa, I think, was repeatedly accused of lying when he posted about an encounter in which he fought off some heavily armed thugs...

Next time I'll leave the gun behind and just give the perp a big 'ol squeeze!

Conwict, no one ever suggested that the Rastafarian stepped down from heaven to save the day. Arthur's post prompted me to see a symbolic, quasi-religious parallel in details I had not previously noticed, and that produced a reaction. I've felt a similar tingle watching a giant leatherback...

Sheepdog, In my late teens, attending school in Canada, I sometimes ended up in similar scenarios - hanging out with extended groups of friends and friends of friends. When one dummy would do something stupid and get into an altercation with people outside the group; peer or group pressure would...
