The best defense against outrageous gun laws is through the election of our local and State officials. It is not enough to sit back and allow the NRA to line up against these wackos but as gun owners and sportsmen we need to support those who support us and help vote the others out. We cannot...

That does it. I am going out and buying my wife a bouquet of flowers and taking her out for a nice dinner. We must be a wacked out couple because we never fight or get upset with each other. It is pretty simple - I wear the pants in the family but she tells me what color to wear. :) All...

Does anyone know if they have a firing range close to Lynchburg, Va ? I have done numerous searches and I cannot find one. Anyone have any ideas as to where one maybe located close to Lynchburg ? Thanks, Chris

My vote is for the Bersa 380 Thunder. What an awesome weapon. I have had no problems with mine and have shot a lot of ammo through it. For $ 280 dollars you cannot go wrong. Rugged, reliable and accurate, they fit the bill very well for a budget conscious shooter. My shooting partner owns...

I have a Ruger P-85 sitting here that I have not shot yet. Reason why is because I was unable to locate ammo ( thanks ammo hoarders ). The gun shops, Wal mart, all of the stores in this area were cleaned out for weeks. I just located several boxes of 9mm luger and plan on shooting it at the...

I would like to remind people who are skeptic about the guy taking action over a $ 20 dollar robbery. It is becoming common place in Florida that even after complying with a bad guys orders they shoot you anyways. If someone pulls a gun in my presence and commits a robbery, ( and I could...

All I have to say is hold on folks. I can see some power plays coming in our future and I don;t think we will like it. I just feel some ground work is being laid here for future changes in law that will effect us all. But then maybe I am just being to concerned and paranoid. :) Chris...

If your talking about performance and price, or better stated as the best value, my vote goes to Bersa. I have a thunder 380 and it is one awesome shooting gun. Accurate and reliable. I paid $ 280 for it a year ago brand new. Ruger makes a rugged gun as well that is reliable and accurate...

" In AZ you can't even put your hand on your gun unless you fear for your life, if you do just because he's bigger and he sees your gun he can stop, call the cops and have you arrested for brandishing even if you did'nt unholster. " This is what I was looking for when I started this thread...

Divemedic. Thank you for posting that site. It had some great information. I am going to order the book. Thanks again. I posted this thread because I was curious at what point does one need to worry when ulhostering a gun. I am sure most of the laws are similar in many States, but I was...

I hope I do not offend anyone by saying this, but this knee jerk, panic, hoarding is what is causing these shortages. I bought a new 9mm and couldn't find ammo for it anywhere. It took two weeks to finally find a store that had 9mm luger in stock and that was at my local Wal Mart. I bought...

Thanks Green Country. I am not worried about the laws in regards to shooting someone. I know when I can legally shoot an individual. But my concern is having problems with LEO's in the event I have to unholster my weapon to diffuse a situation. If one considers what LEO"s do with combative...

I posted this thread here but it must have been lost or something because it never showed up. So I will try this again. I am curious to know what most State laws say about pulling your carry gun and pointing it at another in regards to a situation where you feel your life is threatened. In...

I am married to an Aussie and visit there now and again to see her family. Not once have I ever felt unsafe. There are small pockets of crime in the big cities but these are neighborhoods you typically stay clear of. I have been fortunate enough to travel around Europe and for the most part...

I did want to relate an incident that a very close friend of mine had in Detroit. He was robbed one night inside his bar by two motorcycle gang members. They got the jump on him and took his 45 from him and beat him senseless with it but they didn't see his 38 snub. In the meantime the other...

I have never used my gun in self defense. I once seen a woman getting the hell beat out of her ( I mean brutally beat ) by her drunk boyfriend. It was in a bar parking lot. I stopped my car in the street and ran over and grabbed the guy to get him off her. He turned and swung at me and missed...

The P 85 is a very heavy gun. It was designed for the military and for LEO's but to carry it as a personal weapon, I probably never will. Its just to big and I will rely on my Bersa as a carry weapon. The P-85 is not known to be dead accurate but it will take a great deal of abuse that the...

The Good news is that my son in law ran the serial numbers on the P 85 I just bought and it came back clean. The bad news is I am still trying to locate 9 mm ammo. :( I solve one problem and run into another. Hopefully this problem will be alleviated once I start reloading. My dealer had 3...

I just wanted to thank all of you for taking the time to post your advice and recommendations. I know what a pain it can be to continually answer the same questions for newbies such as myself. I am not jumping to quickly on this but will probably go with a Lee Turret or Pro1000. I have a...

I believe the P-85 was built specifically for the military and LEO's. It is an extremely rugged gun and will take a great deal of abuse and keep firing. But the drawbacks of the P-85 is that they are not as accurate as their brothers the P-89 and P-95's. The 85 also had a recall on the...
