I prefer to have my 'personal defense weapon' actually on my person instead of in my car. As such I choose to use my range time practicing with a not quite as cool subcompact that translates into real life practicality instead of throwing lead downrange with a double stack or big bore that...

I'd read that document a little more thoroughly. What it says is that the President and the government have greater rights than pre-existing contracts to do things for the national defense. This is no different than the power the government wielded in WWII and to a lesser extent in WWI to...

I had the same problem with a glock 23 I had the same problem with a glock 23. I had someone observe my technique and shoot my gun. After this I realized that I had been limp writsting and holding it improperly. I would hold it with a death grip and a limp writst. When I loosened my grip...

all of the mags work just fine I have used 20 and 30 round pro mag magazines in my 580 series mini that came with a 5 rounder. By a few quality high cap mags and go home happy. My mini-14 is sitting beside my bed right now with a 20 in it. Awesome weapons. Light, well balanced, handy, good for...

In all seriousness that large of a group manifesting that sort of hostile intent would constitute disparity of force and per se threat of serious bodily injury or death. IMO I believe that the victim would be justified in using deadly force. This is a prime example of why to carry oc or taser...

.380 is better than no gun at all 1. I own a ruger LCP. It's purpose is so that I can carry a gun in places I normally am incapable of concealing one and it allows me to carry a second gun very discreetly when I otherwise would be unable to conceal one. I can carry an lcp when I am running...

I love mine. It is the easiest firearm to conceal that I own. It will limp wrist easily (just like a glock due to light weight and serious caliber), so pay attention to your hold techinque. It is extremely accurate. It has proven to be very reliable after the break in period. For...

A concealed carry gun. It should be a highly concealeable yet easy to shoot handgun. If you go with the M&P I'd get the subcompact. A subcompact Kahr, Kel-Tec, Glock pistol or smith and Wesson or Ruger revolver will meet the need to allow you to be armed 24/7 with a reliable weapon in a business...

I can not emphasis enough that I think that you should carry a robust, legal method of self defense 24/7. The pepper spray and/or taser C2 may be your best first purchase. I believe that it is important to be armed 24/7 in your situation, as you simply do not know if, when, nor where he will...

I think that you need a robust non-lethal option, since you can't take your firearm to University lawfully. I think that your firearms should be concealable, easy to carry, heavy enough to shoot comfortably. I think that if you do not have the hand strength for a semiauto than a 2.25 inch...

Instead of saying this is why not to carry, I think that we should view this as: a) why carrying with you all the time is so important b) confirmation that the first rule of a gunfight is have a gun c) a small gun on the person beats a big one that you take off while performing your duties at...

Reader's digest answer - No Long answer - As long as there are power grabbers who want to disarm the law-abiding citizenry we will always have efforts to disarm us. Some thought that Heller and soon to be McDonald would stop this. It hasn't. Just look at NRAnews.com. In New York they are trying...

Beware of the Magical Word - Felony Murder Even in gun friendly Texas it is a felony for anyone, even a CHL license holder, to carry a firearm into a drinking establishment licensed to derive over 51% of its revenue from the on premises consumption of alcohol. This is part of the reason that...

I second the Alarm comment. That actually is the meaning of the word alarm - a call to arms.

In Vehicles 1. Alway leave an exit strategy. 2. make sure you can see the bottom of the tires of the car in front of you (this gives you enough room to maneuver out of the kill zone) 3. Park away from other vehicles 4. Always lock your doors 5 Do not leave valuables in the vehicle -...

Duns: Remember that one of the first justifiable homicides by a CHL was in Dallas, when a large man pummeled a CHL inside of a high end sports car that he was test driving. He was no-billed because of a) disparity of force and b) because their is case law in Texas stating that closed fist...

A few good tactics if you suspect something is about to happen to you, but that fall well short of drawing down on someone: 1) create distance, preferrably by leaving the situatin entirely by walking or running away. If you can not run or walk away try to creat as much distance as possible...

+1 on Massad Ayoob's book, In the Gravest Extreme. I also urge you to read The Concealed Handgun Manual: How to Choose, Carry, and Shoot a Gun in Self Defense by Chris Bird which is specifically written with Texas law in mind. I would also thoroughly review the course material from your CHL...

Preventing and minimizing sweat damage I feel for you. Sweat is one of the most corrosive and destructive elements for a gun, as I have learned this from personal experience. My S&W 442 got damaged by sweat during Hurricnae IKE, where I was unable to clean it for a month due to being at work...

I think that the .38 is plenty of gun for shark. More importantly though you followed the first rule of a gun fight ..... Have a gun. Seriously though in beach attire a .38 is about as big as you can hide. Most carriers would have left their double stack at home for a walk on the beach, but you...
