In addition to my carry pistol, I keep a loaded shotgun at home for self defense. I'm not going to take that thing down to the basement and put it in the safe every time I run to the grocery store. That's insane. But I stay at home most every day so the house is seldom left unoccupied. When...

You can teach a child of 3 not to touch guns but you can never, ever trust him. In my opinion, whether you take him to the range or not, you must teach "finger off the trigger" (and the other safety rules) to all children to counter the programming they get from watching TV and movies. This...

I was never into guns until about 10 years ago when some anti-gun nut was ranting about it on a forum. So I said, "I'm going to buy a gun just to exercise my 2nd amendment right." Use it or lose it; something like that. To help me decide what to buy and get a general education on the subject...

OP, you sound like you're stereotyping a bit. Not everyone who "buries guns" is a conspiracy theory tin foil hat crazy. They might just be prudent. Maybe they see some writing on the wall. It doesn't have to be a vast conspiracy involving all the world's powers secretly communicating with...

While it is true blacks overwhelmingly vote Democrat, I have found that this is NOT necessarily because they're radical leftists. For one thing, many African Americans are strongly religious. They believe in compassionate social programs to help the poor but NOT in de facto communism. In my...

To get a perspective on the Native Americans and blacks and what the white Europeans did to them, as well as a historical perspective on culture in general, I recommend Race and Culture by Thomas Sowell. Don't get your ideas from TV (or A MOVIE), the media or your local activist group. Thomas...

Wow... just wow.... People who think they don't need a course in gun safety... I don't fault him for forgetting he loaded the gun, I've done that myself. This is exactly why you have the muzzle rule. People who've actually taken safety courses and had that rule drilled in their head aren't...

If I had to shoot a BG and he were lying in a puddle of his own blood I would NOT assume he was dead. I would NOT assume he does not have buddies coming looking for him. I would NOT check him for a pulse. I would stay out of reach of him. I would keep my weapon out, keep him covered, and...

Good advice. But look at it this way - even if you spend $50,000 out of your pocket defending yourself, that is a hell of a lot cheaper than the hundreds of thousands or million or two your family will miss from you being dead and not earning a living for them anymore. $50,000 is a really good...

Oh well them; I believe everything they say.

The guy was being presumptuous. He should have minded his own business.

Condolences for your loss.

That's right and while we're at it we need to stop using the word "gun" too, or before we know it they'll be banning anything connected with that word too.

EXCUSE ME?? Little old ladies packing heat are FAR less scary than road-rage prone males packing heat. And far MORE in need of something other than fists with which to defend themselves. Love, A graying (not yet blue) female

The term "gun nut" in general mainstream usage has come to mean a person within a certain culture. Conservative, white, male, overweight, southern or rural, uneducated, meat-eating, unenlightened, and fundamentalist Christian. And all somehow descendants of antebellum plantation owners, even...

Yeah I guess the group can be highly variable. The one I was in had shy women and quiet, open-minded men.

Last question first; you should expect market prices more or less. Legalities of purchases I will let others address. Bring a lot of cash. People will accept checks, if they perceive they can trust you. But cash is more comfortable. Don't carry a loaded firearm in there. Don't be...

Grrr.... double post.

Just relax. It's fun.

I don't know what "materialistic" is supposed to mean... other than it's a word that describes other people's greed when they do the same things that when I do them are "saving for retirement".
