    How many people here have used a gun to defuse a situation?

    This was what I was looking for, examples when having/drawing but not shooting ended up with nobody getting hurt in an otherwise potentially much worse scenario.

    Legal question about non-resident ownership (Maine and NH)

    Well, I called a local gun-shop near my school and they said as long as I have the secondary ID it would be fine... but I called the DMV and was told that I cannot be a resident of multiple states under NH law... I was calling to ask what papers I would need to bring and they said that I can't...

    How many people here have used a gun to defuse a situation?

    It's funny you mention The Armed Citizen, I think that's where the article I saw came from..

    How many people here have used a gun to defuse a situation?

    I am not asking how many people have shot somebody else in self defense, but I am curious to hear real stories from members where they used a gun in a manner to deescalate/diffuse a volatile situation. I remember reading an article several months back about a couple who helped save a women who...

    Need Help convincing an anti... asap

    It just occurred to me, but doesn't the term "liberal" imply one is open minded by definition? Liberal: Adjective: Open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values. >.< So much for that theory :) Really the argument came down to the fact his dad thinks "Somebody...

    Need Help convincing an anti... asap

    I might just have to take that approach and accept that shooting with him this weekend is unlikely... And I do agree with what people are saying, and what being an adult is. I would just have preferred to go about this in a way that does not "stir the pot" as it were. Oh well, I appreciate...

    Need Help convincing an anti... asap

    My friend is fine with it, it is his dad who is not. And since they are family friends, going behind his dads back is a great way to just cause problems. I guess it probable won't happen but I was hoping somebody might be able to help me approach it from another angle. Also, I am in college...

    Need Help convincing an anti... asap

    I never in my life thought I would even have to make this post since although my family is liberal they are educated and tend agree or at least be willing to see another view with rational well presented arguments... but my friends folks...... So, I don't get to see this guy very often. He's...

    So, this may just me being crazy but...

    It's totally silly and has not tactical or practical function... Being young and male I just think the idea of a fire shooting revolver to be awesome :)

    Bizarre gun theft story

    Makes me think it might have been somebody trying to show the guy that keeping a gun in an unlocked car was dumb...

    This rant has been on my mind for awhile...

    I removed the bit about the waiting period, I am realizing I shouldn't have even put it in my post, for some reason it just slipped in, and it seems to be all anyone has noticed. The main point I was *trying* to make was why do people who are against firearms think humans will be less violent...

    This rant has been on my mind for awhile...

    In my view, and this may just be me, a heat of the moment decision to by a handgun seems far more likely then buying a rifle or shotgun. I could be wrong. Personally I think 1-3 days is enough for handguns and long guns don't need a wait. When I said one-two weeks in the original post I was more...

    This rant has been on my mind for awhile...

    I come from a fairly liberal family, who although dislike guns, support me and my interests (which include guns)... I get into arguments with my folks more then I would like about pro-gun/anti-gun and gun control and what not... I have read through several threads bringing up various points and...

    Legal question about non-resident ownership (Maine and NH)

    I apologize, I misunderstood that part until I re-read it. Thanks to both of you for taking the time to answer my question, I really appreciate it. Now I just need to figure out what kind of government-issued document I should get... probably voters... Of course, I can still buy a handgun from...

    Legal question about non-resident ownership (Maine and NH)

    I should have been more clear, I DO reside in the dorms at the school I attend, being that I live 5+ hours away in Maine. So, if I have some official formed mailed to me at my dorm address, I can use that in combination with my Maine drivers license to establish that although I have permanent...

    Has anyone else considered running .410 Dragon's Breath through a Taurus Judge just so they had a 6 shooter firing fire?

    Not sure where to post this (question about KY Gun co.)

    haha if I ever make it down that way I will, I live in northern New England... Also, I assume $390 is a great price from what I have seen, but I don't suppose anyone knows of any other good deals on the XD in 9mm?
