Does anyone have a source indicating that Malik has ever been an anti-RKBA advocate (as opposed to being merely against all kinds of violence, and having clients who have filed suits against the police)?
*Sigh*...the 9mm EMP.
Fit my hand beautifully. Trigger broke beautifully. Concealed beautifully. I was dead-on accurate with it.
Problem was that it was unreliable right out of the box. Jammed on every magazine, regardless of ammo, regardless of the magazine.
So I sent it back to...
@Apachedriver: Our perspectives really aren't that different, although you clearly don't live in a northeastern urban area, as I know a few people who sport tats and wear bandannas who are just good folk. :) Sure, in your hypothetical, if someone was (say) wearing gang colors/ink and carrying...
@ VincentPrice & TRX
While Wilhelm was head of state, it's important to remember that he was essentially a figurehead for the planning and execution of war strategy. Erich Ludendorff and Paul von Hindenburg were essentially running the German empire as a military dictatorship, and were the...
@Sam1911: Sure, you absolutely would win that argument on technical grounds. Technically, nuclear weapons aimed at a nation's population centers can be 'defensive' too, if the intent is to deter attack. As with all things, context is king, and the reality is always more complicated than what...
A handgun is, by its nature, a defensive weapon.
A rifle is an offensive one.
I think that's an important distinction to keep in mind. If I see someone carrying a pistol in a holster walking down the street, my first reaction is that they're simply prepared. If I see someone walking down...
Here's how I'd approach it. You're buying a backup / deep concealment gun for personal protection. It's not for bragging rights or showing off at the range. Therefore a certain cold-bloodedness is needed when deciding what to buy.
(1) Is 9mm effective as a defensive round? By all accounts...
@VooDoo: there but for the grace of god, eh?
I do know quite a few who have licenses but rarely, if ever, carry a firearm.
I also know several people with a license who slip a .22 or a .380 into their pockets, almost never go to the range, and consider it 'good enough'.
Training is a...
You don't have to carry all the time.
You just have to carry the days you're going to need your gun to defend yourself.
Of course, carrying all the times makes sense if you're not sure which day(s) that's going to be.... ;)
I have to agree on the EMP -- if you can get it to work reliably, it is an awesome little carry pistol.
Mine jammed on day one. It worked perfectly for six months after it came back from the Springfield factory, then it started with the FTE's all over again. (Ammunition was not a factor.) I...
Have a P380. Rarely carry it, it's really just for those instances where I want to carry something and concealability is just about the only consideration.
It's not exactly 'fun' to shoot, the trigger is way too long for my tastes, and out of the box, it's in desperate need of a...
Any IWB will be a pita to take on or off (especially if we're talking about removing the whole thing in a car.) alternative would be to simply draw the weapon and stash it ina secure location in the vehicle. Or use an OWB that snaps on.
I have found the crossbreed supertuck to be very...
Bought one as a gift for my dad. Appears to be high quality, decent price, reasonable turnaround times. Can't speak to long-term durability yet, but I was happy with how it looked when I took it out of the box.
Kinda like someone protesting the fact that pornography is protected by the first amendment by going out, buying, and reading/watching a lot of pornography.
