WOW..........I thought that I was one of a very few who felt the same way. Now I see that there are others.
If a felon,after paying his debt,stays out of trouble,for a period of time (say 5 years) he should have his record expunged. This would not apply to all crimes but most...
Could you explain the term "castle state". I think I know what you mean but I'm not positive. I didn't want to hijack the thread about holding an intruder for police so I started this one.
At that point I would reach for my cell phone. Call 911 get a description of car & driver & plate number if I could. If he fled the scene I would tell cops which way he went. I would be the best witness I could & let the cops handle the rest. NO WAY would I go for my gun in that...
The azz backward legal system is the reason I feel the way I do. I would rather pull steel & confront the perp (& shoot if absoutely necessary) to protect an innocent person. What makes me unwilling to is the legal climate that exists in which a criminal can sue his victim or a good sam &...
Ruger
Produce a P series in 10mm & 45ACP/super.
I also like the idea of a M14/M1A clone.
Perhaps a compact P series line of downsized pistols. With all the states that allow concealed carry,I think they would sell.
And yes.........make the mini 14/30 more accurate.
I have a personal responsibility to me & my wife which includes staying out of jail & not doing something that leads to financial ruin. Any harm that befalls the clerk is on the perp..........not me.
Our elected officials allow a climate to exist in which a criminal can sue his victim...
I'm with the "only shoot to protect myself crowd". It might be cold but it's how I feel.
I would try to back off & put distance between me & crook. If I could do so I would get a hand on my piece OR get it out & hold it low & out of sight.......not pointing it at anyone,finger outside...
I'm not a big fan of Bush but I'll vote for him. He's the lesser of 2 evils. Yes....I agree,anything less is a vote for Kerry. I think that Kerry would be Bill Clinton all over again or even worse. :(
If a moderate/pro gun Democrat were running against Bush I would probably vote dem...
Spend a little more OR buy used. The only cheaper gun I'd consider is Bersa. My wife has a .380 Bersa & it's a decent gun for the money.
If price is a big issue I would look for a used Ruger. I have a P 97 that I bought for 255.00$. It's on the big side but I carry it in a fanny...
I have a Ruger P 97. It's bulky but it carries OK in a fanny pack. As far as size......the P 97 is about the same size as a Glock 21. The 21 seemed more accurate. I believe the Ruger to be better built & it's less expensive.
For carry,I'd say the Glock 30 would be the better choice...
bear defense
I was at a gun counter when a non gun type who was looking to get a handgun was looking at a .38 snub. He was asking about the process of getting a carry permit while examining the revolver. He said that he would feel safer with "a little something" when hiking.
He then...
An ATV or motorcycle would be a consideration for someone living in a urban/high traffic area.
Railroad tracks & old right of ways would also be something to consider.
A 4 WD ATV should have little problem crossing tracks.
Some RR tunnels are wider than you would think. Some were...
I think I would go with diesel power. I would be able to use heating oil and/or kerosene....& would be able to scavange fuel from abandoned/unsecured big rigs,buses, heavy equipment & locomotives.
There are lots of sources of diesel fuel/heating oil/kerosene. In a pinch you could use jet...
I would carry. Being fired beats being killed every time. Smart carry would probably work well. Be aware of non weapons/improvised weapons that can be used if SHTF. A fire extinguisher is a good non weapon.
Give BGs the money or stuff they want. If they push further.....then do...
As far as canned goods goes.............................
How about a few (unopened) in a tripled up plastic grocery store bag.
this would make an improvised impact weapon. :evil:
As far as tools........Screwdrivers,hammers,axes,pry bars ect,ect..........use your imagination. Hardware...
I would say that Mpayne is doing the right thing.
I'm not Jewish.....so I've learned something from this thread. I hope the moderators keep it open. So please....everyone keep it civil as is presently being done.
Given the history of the Jewish people....I never understood why it...
There have some good points made on this topic. I would like to make a couple more.
Illegal aliens are criminals...........period. So long as an illegal is on US soil & not in custody,he/she is committing a crime. Yes.....I do believe that illegal entery to the US is a crime.
If...
