    What is your education level?

    Graduated from the university of Smith and Wesson with major onions, the kind you can't roast. Ring a bell, school's in session, Jackson. ;) :D

    Rifle caliber for self defense

    I'm with Art on this one. I've been looking at getting a step up from the 10/22 for fun, HD and temporary civil disorder/disasters. My short list is CX-4, 1894c, M1 carbine and Mini-14. The Mini is getting dissed these days and there are many used ones around...but I like its reputation for...

    Why your gun should be fully loaded

    Rainbow: I wasn't armed with the dog attacks 'cause I was a teenager at the time delivering the Asbury Park Press in rural pinelands of New Jersey. The worst dog attack was by a Belgian Shepherd who had it in for me a long time and broke through the owner's storm door to chase me on my bike...

    Why your gun should be fully loaded

    Agreed. But the first clearly aggressive move came from the human in this case. I have dogs run up to me all the time when I'm walking my dog...I don't start off by kicking them in the head or pulling a gun. I have defended unarmed successfully against very large attacking dogs and armed...

    Why your gun should be fully loaded

    You have to be a nitwit to pull your weapon on a dog just because it's running in your direction. Pitt bulls are less aggressive toward humans than most other breeds, with a lower incidence of attack against children than say, poodles or golden retrievers, according to the American Kennel...

    Northern Illinois University Shooting

    Seems to me the story here is not that more restrictive gun laws could've helped prevent it or more freedom to CCW would've helped prevent it, but just a sick guy who went to a crowded place to take some folks out along with himself...this can never be fully prevented...not in the 40+ years...

    Internet myths,stupity and lies...

    All assailants are drug-crazed and thus stopping power is paramount: 22lr rounds won't even humanely kill skunks, better than a sharp stick though but not by much, 9mm rounds punch right through leaving neat bloodless holes, anything FMJ is useless for SD, it took a full mag of .30 carbine...

    bought a 10/22 from sports athority

    Bought a 10/22 at a local gun shop, paid $225. Salesman was new, had to ask for help on forms, couldn't work the case lock...the whole transaction took forever. Wanted to talk me up to the higher end laminate model with bull barrel...I thought it weighed too much for my tastes. Some of the...

    In the middle of the night!

    If the intruder brings any pig ears, my first line of defense will be neutralized. Next, would be a handgun, 'cause of what others have said. Flashlight held far out to the side in case it draws fire. I'm also becoming convinced a high-cap .22lr is the way to go for minimal flash/recoil...

    Wars, battle rifles - then and now

    Had they built more U-Boats early...had we not cracked their codes...had Hitler not killed his best generals... My grandad got out early. His mom/dad/brothers/friends never made it. F*** the Germans and their f***** weapons.

    What caliber for spiders?

    Here's what Hudson from the movie Aliens would say: I'm ready, man, check it out. I am the ultimate badass! State of the badass art! You do NOT wanna f___ with me. Check it out! Hey Ripley, don't worry. Me and my squad of ultimate badasses will protect you! Check it out! Independently...

    You're carrying and the store detector goes off

    I must be a closet klepto 'cause I get stopped all the time for forgetting to pay for the case of Gatorade or Bounty on the low rack under the main basket of the cart, or my kid's eating something he pulled off the shelf, no harm done, no offense taken, I'm the putz.

    I am Legend...

    Movie also draws inspiration from "In The World, the Flesh, and the Devil (1959), when Harry Belafonte wanders the spooky, deserted streets of the city (an inevitable last-man motif), just before he goes utterly buggy, he bumps into beautiful Inger Stevens and the whole round of racial and...

    Left-liberal...can shoot, too

    You're right. But I guess my main point is that as a liberal, I have to wade through a lot of paranoid postings here about dark hordes descending from the cities to pillage the heartland and Hillary and Obama taking away our beloved weaponry and "we know how take care of that in ____ (fill...

    Left-liberal...can shoot, too

    Because I'm not interested in pushing my beliefs on others. I can understand why many here would think it's important to support the NRA and gun rights, but it's not a requirement for membership, just a love of guns. I'm here mostly to learn and share and help each other out.

    Left-liberal...can shoot, too

    Another liberal. I'd vote for any Democrat before any Republican, except maybe McCain. He's got major onions.

    Video of gang attack on NYC Subway

    Good advice. Valuable info. How many of us have wondered for years about what the sound of tearing ear cartilage is like? Apparently more of ripping/tearing noise rather than a wet snapping sound. This why I read these threads, thanks OP, you knew it would eventually go here.

    Video of gang attack on NYC Subway

    Everything's wrong with the tape; he's either the perp or an accomplice in the hoax. I love all the macho talk here of hard glances and taking out the toughest one first...anybody with street sense knows you keep moving and don't get caught up in that sheist.

    Video of gang attack on NYC Subway

    That video made me feel sick to my stomach...I was in a similar situation on the A Train in 1980...three males standing over me holding the handstraps and screaming while I go code red and figure out how to handle. The reason: I brushed one guy's sneaker slightly as I stepped over to sit down...
