Yes, I practice with them all, but not equally. Wouldn't own a gun I didn't shoot. Sometimes it's just long-guns; i.e. rifle and/or shotgun. Depends on whether I'm shooting near or far. For pistols, most of my practice is with the G17. Next in line is a G23, followed by a 1911. Finally...

Kinda takes the glow off of "being a good witness", doesn't it? :cool:

Jury nullification is the "judical power of the people". The jury has the duty to insure (as best they can) justice. Law is not justice, law is the decree of the government. Justice is "right and wrong", not "legal or illegal". The jury is there to decide BOTH the facts of the case and the...

C_yeager, I agree with the comment on the "wacko" fringe. Being of the "minority persuasion", if the SHTF and those guys roll out I think they would be more likely to shoot AT me than WITH me. :uhoh: Many types of groups use the label (or are labeled as) militias. I believe most...

The first question is whether you can get your wife to a "gun class" without browbeating her into it? If you can't then you have to deal with some simple realities. Forcing her into it will only build anger and resentment. Assuming this is the case, the first thing I would do is get the...

On first impression, I'd have to agree with Dr. Rob. In the modern urban environment , there is no "natural" background - you're just as likely to encounter a stainless steel and glass wall, as one of brick or woood. Public places generally include some ornamental greenery - even in the dead...

Most people, here and elsewhere misunderstand what the militia is and what it's purpose is, and yes, there is definitely a point to them. The American media has successfully convinced most Americans that the militia consists of small groups of "military wannabe gun nuts" who run around the...

Just because a guy wore a uniform for a number of years, doesn't mean he supports what the uniform stands for. Wes Clark was FIRED by no less a hero that Bill Clinton. I also notice that none of the other "ex-generals" have come out to support him - mostly they have mumbled some "not too...

A pump or lever can be "almost" as fast as an autoloader if you practice hard with it. But IMO, the big is is reloading. Magazine fed beats tube fed every time. If you can take your time to shoot and reload, any rifle will work (even a single shot); but if you hca to shoot and reload fast...

In scenario two, if there is no hostage, it would not be a good shoot. You have to opportunity to avoid a confrontation - they are not aware of your presence. Even if you have no duty to retreat, you are not being attacked at the moment. Confronting the BGs in a closed room with no other exit...

If I should ever win a gunfight, everyone will get to see the extended version of my "happy dance" with high-fives all around. I might even spike my gun and do an NFL endzone boogie. ;) I agree, "survivor" implies that you're somehow damaged. I don't plan to survive, I plan to WIN - with...

As a brief aside, I recently saw a report that showed that most of the "high profile" school shootings were carried out by kids on anti-depressants. Guess that's one of the unintended consequences of the "ritalin generation". As to an active shooter, IMO the best move to get out of the...

IMO, the leading cause of death is denial. Many people have conditioned themselves NOT to respond to anything out of the ordinary and to not take action until given the permission of "the authorities". How many times have you seen reports of crime or disaster victims who said "I couldn't...

I agree with Ryder and Dr. Rob. While it's desirable to stop the shooter first, IMO taking out his backup takes precedence. The guard is much more likely to notice your initial movements. While you're tracking a bead on the shooter, the guard will be tracking you. You're more likely to end...

I don't think it's possible to "bypass" any part of the OODA loop; it's a continuous feedback system. Observe: There's a long, brown object on the ground Orient: Is it a stick or a snake? Decide: Ignore, avoid, or strike Act: May be null Orientation is the process of putting the...

I was perusing the WarriorTalk board and found an interesting post from an Israeli about the "Israeli shooting method". I won't highjack the thread by posting it here, but it's worth reading: http://warriortalk.com/showthread.php?t=403 We often refer to the Israeli method as simply...

I think an alternative would be: Help! Police! Help! That's basically for the "ear" witnesses. I think it helps establish that YOU'RE the one being threatened. If you're already pointed in on the BG, yelling stop is kind of redundant. Although I agree with yelling stop (or otherwise...

Democrats don't hate guns, socialist liberals and commies hate guns (in the hands of non-liberals and non-commies). Being a Democrat is a political label, being a liberal (or commie) is a mental condition. :cool:

Arguing with an idiot just frustrates you and irritates the idiot. Better to pat him on the back and tell him how smart he is - he'll think he's proved his point and move on. :cool:

Sure they can...if you don't pass their required test. Permit = Permission
