    9 Round Mag Limit?

    It's designed to negate any semi-automatic. I really don't like the idea of permanently altering full capacity magazines to accept <8 or 10 rounds. I'm just going to purchase 10-rounders if available an "dispose" of the others. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when they get thoroughly...

    Where is our "Piers Morgan"?

    And I'm not a fan of Clarkson... but he just went up on my list. :D

    Local Walmart rationing ammo

    The WalMarts I've been to have had a 100-round limit policy for several years. They only stock 100 rounds of any caliber in the cabinet at a single time. And the Blue Hairs working the counter aren't going to walk back and get more for you if your caliber isn't available in the case.

    How could I have better reacted to this threat?

    Rex Applegates weapon retention. A long read but well worth it IMO: http://www.usacarry.com/forums/utah-discussion-firearm-news/3578-weapon-retention-long-read.html

    What would you do

    I just know I'll be avoiding T-Mobile stores from now on. :P

    How do other countries (Israel etc) handle school security?

    One important aspect often ignored when recommending the Israeli model is that every able bodied adult in Israel serves two years of compulsory military service. Most of them see some sort of action during this period. IIRC the "security" services employed in Peru, the Philippines and...

    Would You Do It?

    And if law enforcement enters the facility while I'm shooting the maniac... or I shoot another "sheepdog" because he has his gun drawn? Honestly, I am not going to go looking for said maniac. I may stay put and if I MUST deal with him\them then I will. But I'm not about to go hunting for the...

    A word on multiple attackers

    Conjecture based on far too few facts... It's described the victim pulling into his "covered drive" ( so I will assume erhem!) that he pulled into his carport and it's probably at side-of-house and close to or connected to the back yard fence. I can see where this guy possibly had around...

    Hand to hand combat transition

    Don't forget to include focus on the mental aspects. Brad Steiner has some excellent articles on the topic at www.seattlecombatives.com and www.americancombato.com.

    Situational Awareness

    While it's true that one can only concentrate of focus to a certainlevel... the majority of people are nowhere near where they could be awareness wise. At work, I see a LOT of people (the majority in fact) are usually in their own world. I've seen people fidling with their mobile devices and...

    In what kind of environment do you live?

    Suburban - South King County. Surrounded by -semi-urban areas. (Of course I grew up in Seattle so I don't really consider areas like Federal Way or Kent as fully "urban".)

    Man shot by police in Seattle for brandishing a rifle

    There's no shortage of stories where some members of law enforcement have made mistakes & even violated rights. There are stories where officers have gone well outside of their authority. I don't think that this is either. I think it's sad... but this guys appears to have behaved recklessly. I...

    Sigs and rail grease

    I think I remember the thread that you're referring to. How far down did you read on that? I'm certain that saner monds eventually posted. They alway do over there. I use lithium grease... now but I've used plenty of standard lubricants on the rails with no ill effects.

    Man shot by police in Seattle for brandishing a rifle

    I wouldn't trust the "expert opinion" of some bystander as to whether or not the firearm was loaded with blanks or otherwise. Sorry, I've been one of the first to jump on stupidity perpetrated by LEO's... but I can't blame them for this one. The guy was obviously too drunk & too stupid to be...

    US anti-kidnapping expert kidnapped in Mexico

    An anti-kidnapping expert isn't an authority on close protection. It sounds like he was travelling as a corporate executive... without EP escort. No working "radar". Hopefully, as a man who advises in anti-kidnapping technics, one of the thinks you would be advising potential victims on is to...

    After neutralizing a threat...

    Look for the scum bags friends... then... Stay there, don't touch anything, call 9-1-1, then your attorney. Yes... call your attorney. At least touch base quickly. There's a lot of other decent advice aboe that I'm not going to regurgitate.

    Is this a good BoB?

    Shoulder straps! Definitly get something with shoulder straps. You may be walking a ways... say if the roads are blocked to vehicle traffic for whatever reason. I have two actually; One's an old NATO ruck sack & the other is a full-sized ALICE pack. I love the size of the ruck sack... but...

    How can I defend myself in my car?

    While I can think of a few situataions where one may be required to shoot from a vehicle... most of them do not apply to a single individual in their own vehicle. It's a last resort if it becomes necessary. [Some carjacking or kidnapping scenarios have the perps using their own vehicle(s) to...

    Cold Steel Walking Stick??

    Properly utilized a walking stick or cane has the definite & obvious advantage of reach over a knife.

    non firearm self defense weapons?

    I alternate the Cold Steel stuff... I especially like the Sharkie because it's a pen, albeit an obviously oversized one. I can carry that on a plane. I can justify having it in a pocket. I also occasionally carry a full sized, Blackthorne walking stick. I'm looking at getting one or...
