    Incident at a local gunstore yesterday in SoCal

    My only thought, reading your story, is I would not have even reached for my folder. Turners' employees have access to real firearms and they are just enforcing store policy. So I would have gotten out of the "line of fire" or hustled out the front door (limited option since that one exit is...

    Any Walther fans out there

    I guess we're not as rabid as fans of some other makes. I adore my P99.

    The Next Revolver Action

    So the question is, is a Dan Wesson revolver demonstrably better than any of the others? Modern for the sake of change has little value. But "better by design" means a lot.

    Pournelle on TSA

    I dunno about you guys but when I need to travel I really need to get there. I don't have the luxury time to reject the TSA and walk there. Or even to drive there. I can drive for short trips (say an 8 hour drive) but not for anything longer. So yeah, they've got me by the short-hairs. I...

    What Kind of Advice Is This??

    Rabbi, I think the situation is best separated into two components, legal and ethical. You very well might be ethically justified in shooting your hypothetical attacker. I'm not standing on very high ground but it is possible. What I mean is, like many others here, I don't think of a fist...

    I was chased tonight

    Brick, nice choice! That is one of the heaviest fast cars around. Well into the 4,000 lb range IIRC, though the CSi is the lightweight model. Audi S8 would be in the same class. But if you're going to spend money then maybe give me a Porsche Cayenne turbo?

    Best pocket Knife

    $150 buys plenty of knife. For every day wear I choose between a Benchmade Griptillian and their Mini-Grip. They are not "automatic" and use their Axis lock. I had a Kershaw (Ken Onion design) Whirlwind before and it was cheaper but still worked well. It didn't take or hold an edge as well...

    I just got a used Python

    I'll probably die of old age before I see a reasonable price on a Python in CA. So yeah, I hate you. :)

    Best pocket Knife

    Not to be a wise guy or anything but your question is almost trolling, given the group you're writing to here. :) You said "best." So how much money do you want to spend? How big and heavy do you want in your pocket? Do you want the sharpest possible edge or one that won't need as much...

    McConnell cracks down on knife crime

    Yeah, I can see it now. Can't carry anything that's not made of foam rubber.

    Does this actually have a use?

    I'm thinking, at that price I could afford to hire armed guards...

    It's just a flashlight

    I've got the 3 C-cell TwinTask. I like it around the house for its 100+ hour burn time but the LED's are too blue while the regular bulb could brighter.

    Information Needed On The Ruger Mark II 512GCL

    I've got a full-bull 6 7/8 Gov model and reliability has been excellent with the stock extractor (lots of folks change that part). I do think the take-down is funky but you get used to it. Probably the most important thing to do to a new one is to strip it down and clean off all the gunk it...

    I was chased tonight

    My point was some carry methods take more time (and hands) to use than the effort required to rack his slide. When the weapon is not charged it is, effectively, only a plastic club. Not suggesting he should use it that way, only that the transition from inert club to charged forearm is short...

    Border politics and racism

    I'm all for ESL (English as a 2nd language) in schools. That is the path to assimilation. But voter materials? That burns me up. English is our national language. Learn it or don't vote. Nothing racist about that. Perhaps bigoted against morons, but not racist.

    What would you do...livin in the PRK

    Yep, move. And you are missing the "learn some situational awareness" option too.

    How about a new gun mag?

    Hah! Two fields which both have an excess of awful magazines. I mean, motorcycles have MCN, American Rider (AMA), Bike and most of the rest are total crap (Cycle World, Motorcyclist, Sport Rider, VQ, Hot Bikes...). Though I suppose if you like Cycle World you probably like 'Guns and Ammo'...

    Border politics and racism

    Well I know the laws are NOT enforced around me (Los Angeles area). Border patrol sweeps raised such a ruckus they were stopped. Among the complaints, "we don't have the jails to hold them all." Well my answer to that is you don't need to hold 'em for long if you deport them immediately...

    Border politics and racism

    Unfortunately I think the problem can continue indefinitely. It has been "tenable" for decades. Aside from the terrorist threat what makes anyone think circumstances have changed? My personal opinion is we're entitled to control our borders and we should do so with an iron grip (or wall)...

    Doctors Say Nearly A Dozen Injured In Paintball Attacks

    Paintball marker attacks have been considered assault with a dangerous weapon from time to time. I don't know if they're specifically covered under any statutes. I'd certainly agree they are an assault capable of grave bodily injury. That's what I call losing an eye! Although the norm for a...
