There is an article in the Washington Post (January 21, 2016) that actually says that an armed civilian probably saved some lives in a terrorist attack in Pakistan. The article is at: In deadly attack on Pakistani college, extremists take new aim at students Here are some quotes, one of...

I must disagree with you there. In a class taught by local (to me) law enforcement, a member of the audience asked about private citizens executing the "fight" portion of "run, hide, fight" with privately-owned firearms. The officer teaching the class answered that, since many Virginians have...

I am very much on board with this. I didn't use eye pro when I was a kid, but when I taught my son at about age ten or so to shoot BB guns in the basement, I had both of us wearing safety glasses. We were shooting into a cardboard box full of wadded newspaper. The sprog thought old Dad was...

I beg to differ. It's more like anything over 10 rounds. Or even one.

Because guns.

USAFvet: that's the point of this thread. GunsAreCool is claiming 355 using their absurdly loose definition. Mother Jones is reporting four or five (I forget which), based on the definition you quoted: four or more dead, in public, etc., which is much closer to the FBI definition. I can see...

Red Wind: Thanks, that (http://smartgunlaws.org/guns-in-schools-policy-summary/) is exactly the sort of source I was looking for. I have seen news items (mainly anti-gun) asserting that eleven states allow guns in K-12, but they drop that line of thought instantly, with no list of states (other...

To clarify my initial question: I personally am not interested in carrying into a K-12 school, as my son is long gone from that situation. However, I have a friend who is a retired educator and totally aghast at the idea of "giving guns to teachers." I reply that I am not in favor of "giving"...

I have been trying to find out the state of concealed carry in K-12 schools. I have seen multiple articles that assert that X number of states allow K-12 carry, but they never actually list the states, the dates that the law went into effect, or any other particulars. Does anyone know of an...

Depends on the branch. In WW2, the US Navy considered 20mm and 40mm guns to be "machine guns." I remember a WW2 memoir by a USN enlisted man that commented on how small the USMC machine guns (.30 and .50) were compared to the USN machine guns (20mm and 40mm).

The problem is, it is almost true. More people are killed with blunt force than are killed with long guns. The problem is that some pro-gun people misquote the stat substituting "guns" for "long guns."

Charleston mayor Joseph Riley is ridiculing the idea that an armed person in the congregation could have stopped the recent mass shooting. (He was specifically arguing against Huckabee.) http://www.mediaite.com/online/charleston-mayor-huckabees-view-on-guns-so-nutty-i-cant-even-talk/ For...

And now for something completely different... I just recently got into shooting lever guns, and have a Rossi 92 .357 carbine. Since reading this thread, I have started wondering if it is possible/advisable to add a ring to a rifle that was not built with one? I probably would rarely use it...

I believe that most GFZ fans don't think that bad people will obey the sign, but rather they actually think that a (good) person with a gun will suddenly go nuts and start shooting people for no reason. Why that would be the case, I cannot begin to imagine, but I have heard people (in person...

Answer the door: yes. Open the door: no. There is a difference. In the video Mas *answers* the door (he talks though the closed door), but does not *open* the door. You need to *answer* the door without *opening* it so that a burglar casing your house knows it is occupied and therefore may...

I have both a LaserLyte and a SIRT. The key difference for me is that the LaserLyte emits a brief flash when the trigger breaks, while the SIRT emits a continuous beam as long as the trigger is held down. I use both the SIRT and the LaserLyte for different drills. The SIRT is good to practice...

I use LaserLyte products extensively. The laser "discharges" whenever it "hears" a click. As a result, any time the striker is released, the click will set off the laser. If you have a resetting trigger, that should definitely do the trick. This new product seems to resolve my one and only...

Was that 13 posts, or 14? In all the excitement, I kinda lost track.

I TREAT guns as if they are loaded. The are NOT always loaded. If guns are always loaded, why do I keep having to buy ammunition?

The original intent of such holsters, I believe, was during the horse cavalry era, in which the primary weapon was the saber (worn on the left, cross-drawn by the right hand) and the secondary weapon was the revolver (worn on the right, cross-drawn by the left hand). Even after the saber became...
