I wonder how many "average citizens" even know their state has a Constitution. Kansas:

Looking ahead, I may be driving from Kansas to Florida to visit my sister. I don't have a CCW. If I stay at a hotel/motel, is it legal for me to carry in a cased & unloaded gun, load it in the hotel room for the night, and then unload and recase to carry it out? (Of course I'll want to check...

The last job I worked had very sheltered people. Most didn't like guns, but heck, they were scared of their own shadows! (They freaked out about things like raw eggs, licking a butter knife, etc.) Here's the story of one girl: Her fiance was out of town, she's sleeping in the bedroom with her...

So true. My father shot a trophy buck one year, went on the record books in Kansas, and the meat ended up going to the dogs. No matter how you cooked it, you couldn't choke it down. (Ever since then, he's only shot does.)

^ Lee Lapin, oh yes, I know. I was just wondering if, as part of a single layer of thought processes when someone is looking for victims, the type of dog someone has is used as part of the stereotype forming. I'll admit, even though I'm a "dog person" involved in things like AKC competitions...

The guy I know that trains protection dogs swears that the vast majority of pets will turn tail and run & hide. (But this is also a guy that refuses to buy any American dogs because he doesn't feel they have strong enough working temperaments, all his personal dogs are shipped over from Europe.)...

I'm not naive enough to think a dog untrained for protection would offer protection. However, they say that having a larger dog can be a deterrent to criminals. My question is this: Do "foo-foo" dogs have the opposite effect? Will a criminal see a women walking a foo-foo dog and stereotype...

Here's where I'm at right now: I have some experience shooting rifles and shotguns (come from a family of hunters), and am well aware of firearm safety; but I don't have much experience with handguns. The description of the class says "basic handgun safety, manipulation, maintenance, and...

Thanks for the info everyone!

I do know about firearms safety, my dad got me started shooting when I was around 7, and I was in shooting sports in 4-H. (And I have to admit I'm a pretty good shot with a rifle.) But we always just had shotguns and rifles, that's why I say I know nothing about handguns. That's also...

I am wanting to buy a handgun for personal protection and for shooting at the range. I want something lightweight, easy to shoot, and not overly loud. I want quality, but not too expensive either, I don't need anything fancy. I will fully admit I know very little about handguns. I've shot...

This is one of my favorite images having to do with the topic of "guns kill people!", I think it sums it up pretty well. But it's very true that people's emotions overrule logic frequently. I honestly don't know what I would do in the situation. I would probably be quiet unless I knew...

Growing up in Northwestern Kansas, nearly EVERYONE has a gun, so I don't think twice about it. I guess where I grew up, I would have found it weird if someone DIDN'T own a gun. :) But again, that's Hicksville USA, I can understand in different areas how it could bother someone.
