    What does your wife carry?

    She carries a Ruger LCR. She's not an auto fan.

    Empty hand training

    You didn't read my answer at all, because you didn't address a single thing I said.. Strength and size are NOT the same thing. Strength training takes very little time. The average person can build and increase strength with 45 minutes a week. Bodybuilding takes more time. The UFC guys spend...

    Empty hand training

    Strength and size are related, but are not the same. There is a way to gain strength without increasing muscle mass. That's the difference between strength training and bodybuilding. You should have been doing more of the former and less of the latter. Every champion in the UFC strength trains...

    Moving to Atlanta

    I live in Atlanta (the city of). I like it here, having lived in Gwinnett and Cobb counties, as well as Miami-dade. The taxes and water are bad, as well as general administration, but I try not to rely on the government for too much. Gwinnett, Cobb, and Clayton counties are where the bulk of the...

    Including Physical Training as Part of SD

    I have to say that Judo has been one of the most useful martial arts I have ever trained in. I know many people have their favorites, but I have tripped and fallen a LOT more times than I have gotten into fights. Judo ukemi (break falling) has saved me from many a broken bone and hospital bill...

    Gun Shop Blues....

    It's not word games. It's a fact. " Wants to" signifies the desire to do something in the future. Many people "want to" be rich, but that doesn't necessarily make it happen. You may be 100% correct in his intentions, but that doesn't make it true that he already HAS done something.I'm not sure...

    Gun Shop Blues....

    Blaming someone else for your (not you personally) own actions is just dodging personal responsibility. Obama himself has yet to initiate any anti- 2a legislation. How can you blame someone for not doing anything? Why not take responsibility for your own panic buying. I can't count how many...

    Increased ammo sales = increased shooting?

    I don't know where you shop online, but many places are back ordered on ammo. When you are told there is a 6-8 week backlog, it tends to discourage the average consumer. Plus when you add up shipping charges, in order to make the price anywhere near retail, you have to order a large amount. I...

    prevent door kick-in & secure shotgun

    +1. I have this, plus a storm door, plus the club to go behind the door, as well as the 2 terriers, alarm system and guns. Overkill? Maybe, but our house is the only one that has never been broken into. A lot of my neighbours had front doors kicked open during the day when most of us are at...

    Guns in The Dark Knight

    I have to agree that even in the Bob Kane era, the Batman never used guns to kill the criminals IIRC.

    Pressure points for self defense

    That's a complete myth. It's never happened in the history of combat. Boxers and people in the striking arts get hit in the nose on a regular basis by people who hit a heck of a lot harder than most of us. The cartilage may break or shatter, but driving the fragments into the brain just doesn't...

    Father in law bought a High Point and...

    I would add, better to have a $150 gun, than to not have a $2500 gun because you can't afford it.

    Position of IWB carry

    Usually between 2 and 3. Having it behind the hip is almost painful over long periods.

    Has any ammo manufacturers announced plans to increase production?

    No-one in this thread even mentioned this until you said something. The stock market was overvalued for quite some time due to the debt cycle and over leveraging. Returning to reasonable levels of course meant that the stock market would drop. All this has nothing to do with gun information anyway.

    how important is a sixth shot?

    I haven't seen how many shots actually HIT the assailant. If she only hit him with 2 or 3 shots, then all the other ones were wasted and she could have potentially hit innocents. The issue of how many bullets a person needs is directly tied in with their ability to actually hit the target in an...

    Fingerprinted and DNA for CPL - would you do it?

    Got fingerprinted for my green card. Got fingerprinted for my citizenship. Got fingerprinted for my driver's license. Got fingerprinted for my CCW. Dna is just the next inevitable step. It does make you think very carefully about the evidence you leave behind though. It's good motivation...

    do punisher grips make your 1911 "nerdy"...?

    I guess it's an age thing. i think they look pretty nice, but I'ld rather get some other characters if I were so inclined. Maybe Captain America's symbol on there, since Ultimate Cap uses firearms. If it's a range gun, go the heck on. People will either recognize the Punisher logo, or they...

    How many have gotten their cc permit since the election?

    My wife did. Just received hers 2 weeks ago.

    Watch/Guard Dogs

    I agree. I have 2 small terriers that the missus rescued. One yorkie terrier, and one pekinese/terrier mix. They are loyal, cheap to feed, and they hear anyone even coming up the neighbour's steps. Terriers were bred to hunt vermin. Any breed that was made to hunt rats and squirrels should have...

    Should a shooting test be a requirement for concealed carry?

    "When the Texas CCW bill was being debated, the antis tried to slip in a poisoned pill -- they tried to set the shooting standard higher than for the State Police." This is the obvious catch. The government can either make the shooting requirements as high as they want to, or they can make...
