    The Top 10 Guns Never To Sell No Matter What

    I'll see #1,3,7 and raise a Marlin Model 1893, Winchester 1897, Saginaw M1 carbine. Interesting list.

    Perhaps this will pass TX Constitutonal Carry - Patron Kills gunman who killed manager at restaurant

    I'm surprised at the arm chair quarterbacking earlier in this thread. Guy kills another guy in a bar with a pistol. Patron (and good guy), fearing for his and other's safety shoots and kills the assailant. Great situational awareness and presence of mind. Good Job. End of story. Why in the...

    Nifty way to store your in-car pistol for quick retrieval

    I have a cross draw on my weak side, that Ray (Lobo Gun Leather) made for me for long trips. It contains a S&W Model 60, which is perfect for an immediate need IMHO. After I've put on my seatbelt I pull my shirttail out so that it covers the pistol, but doesn't hinder its deployment. It is...

    Do you test fire your self defense fire arm after cleaning it?

    Umm no. After I shoot for training or qualification, I clean my pistols, reassemble them, reload them in preparation for their next use either in training or for self defense. Now I am a Sig Sauer devotee, and have never, ever, repeat never had one fail to function after I employed it after...

    Two LEO Disarmed and Taken Prisoner

    After I read "The Onion Field" as a young (not rookie) but not too experienced street cop I decided I would never give up my gun. I ran into an armed robber who pointed his gun at me and told me to take mine from my holster and give it to him. I shot him, he missed and is still serving the...

    Judged by Twelve

    Hmm. So the killer is trespassing, at the urging of his wife, who is having a civil disagreement with the victim. The victim tells the shooter to leave, and pushes him to emphasize that request. The killer, still on the victim's property unlawfully, takes out a gun and shoots the property...

    Uber driver with CCW stops potential mass-shooting

    I am delighted to hear this. I use Uber at least once a week, in cities across the US and in Europe. No idea if driver's are armed, but good on them if they are carrying!! So, to try and clarify much of the misinformation about Uber that seems to be bouncing around in this thread, here...

    Where did you learn your cleaning methods?

    I learned from my father, then went to a post graduate course at Military School and then took additional coursework in Boot Camp and the Police Academy. I think I have a Ph.D. in cleaning guns.

    My first armed run in with the police

    Ok, I'm in full geezer mode here, but I have not been pulled over or contacted by law enforcement in twenty (20) years. At home I drive an F150, when traveling the rent a car du jour. I am a retired cop and have zero interactions that I didn't initiate. To the OP, don't drive a...

    Almost thought I was in yet another bad situation last night

    Did you not think that you ran across a house full of meth addicts? Tweakers act exactly as you described this interaction. I hope you are not planning to walk on by that spot again and escalate this.

    Dumbest move ever, but thought it to be safe.

    You failed to secure your firearm. It was stolen. The thief is just that, a thief. You, sir are irresponsible and want to mitigate your carelessness by braying about putting the gun "in the console"' out of sight. I'm glad you got your pistol back, that you weren't killed with it by the thief...

    Man who shot Alzheimer’s sufferer won’t be charged

    The prosecutor is copping out in this case and should be ashamed. Killing an Alzheimer's sufferer because he wouldn't comply with verbal commands is murder, and I know that because my mother suffered from this dreadful condition for years before she succumbed to it.

    Article: Colorado Counties Secede The State?

    Secession didn't work so well for the confederacy. I am emphatic about the need to replace members of the Colorado General Assembly in 2014, but the suggestions that parts of Colorado or Texas or anywhere else in the Union should try and secede is absolutely ridiculous. Don't like the rule of...

    Most fun with a gun?

    I love to qualify with my duty weapon. Shooting steel targets at ranges more than 100 yards is a blast too! My VFW Post has a trap range and now that it is warming up I'll be able to shoot trap once or twice a week.

    Gun Safety For Children - Tragedy in KY.

    What a shame. God bless the little girl and her family. Nevertheless, I am going to be a prick about this. The irresponsibility that lead to this negligent discharge is criminal. The adults in this household need to be charged and convicted of a felony, so that they can never own guns...

    Caught myself doing something unsafe again.

    Ok, just so you know, I never touch a firearm after I have a drink. I don't play with guns on the range, and I damn sure don't fool with a gun that is loaded. All of my guns are loaded all the time, and I damn sure don't need to check them, until I don't want them to be loaded. The closest I...

    Commanders Can Ask About Privately Owned Guns

    Ok, so in most ordinary circumstances the private ownership of firearms shouldn't be the command's business. When a GI expresses suicidal thoughts or behaviors noticed by others then I want the NCOs or Officers to act and act agressively to help that soldier. If they didn't ask I would think...
