Imagine a scenario where a BWW gets robbed and you get injured while the robber fires blindly into the crowd. Could you file a lawsuit against the BWW corporation for failing to provide for you the constitutional right and protection their policies forbid?has a good si The state I live in...

This post makes no sense... Please re-post with something backed by at least 7 brain cells and other firearm enthusiasts may actually want to respond.

Good article although its likely just reinforcing the viewpoint that all THR members have already. If colleges don't allow people to protect themselves from criminal violence, then they should take 100% FULL responsibility for student safety. If I, as a law abiding, level-headed citizen cannot...

My wife and I opted for the S&W Bodyguard 380 over the LCP... Its going to be her primary carry gun (once our permits arrive from Utah... its been 6 weeks). While the .380 wont be my first choice for a carry caliber, its better than nothing at all. I like the fact that it is a Double action...

Then they would be the Les Baers, Kimber Customs, and Ed Browns of the Plinker market. Would you pay $800 for what essentially boils down to a dressed up 10/22? Besides, the AR platform allows you to customize / upgrade nearly every component on the gun.

Taurus 856 It all depends on what you want in a gun. I picked up a Taurus 856 Magnesium Hy-Lite recently. The gun is not refined like a Smith, but if you want it to go BANG, it will. Its something you don't mind scratching the finish on by stuffing it in a holster or the glove box of the...

If the .22 LR or WMR is the round you are most comfortable and proficient with, carry it. There are better defensive calibers, but if you are unfamiliar with the guns that shoot them (or they are unavailable), use what you can. ANY gun is better than no gun if you ever find yourself in a...

I bought a Taurus 856 Hy-Lite a few months ago and have been rather impressed. Its a solid 6 shot revolver that is nice and light. It fits into nearly any holster designed for J-Frames. The magnesium alloy frame doesnt allow for +P rounds, but I personally prefer 6 shots of "weak" loads than...

2010: A firearms rich year in review Sig Sauer P6 - Wedding gift from wife's 'gun nut' uncles Ruger Single Six - Wedding gift to 'gun nut' wife from 'gun nut' husband Mosin Nagant - $89 rifle with historical value... couldn't resist Taurus 856 - New CC birthday gift to self Mossberg .22 702...

While it is not a common self defense caliber, the .22WMR (.22 Magnum) is a fairly potent round. I would think about upgrading to something bigger and faster whenever budget allows, but you should not feel undergunned with a Single Six... if you practice and can hit what you are aiming at...

I bought a Taurus 856 last week that does NOT shooot +P ammo. The gun is identical to the 85 stainless, except they managed to put another round on the cylinder (hence the '6' at the end). It is also the new magnesium model (13.2 Oz. empty). It says right on the barrel that you cannot use +P...

What should I look for when buying a snub nosed revolver for concealed carry? I am currently considering many factors (price, weight, caliber, exposed / internal hammer, steel / polymer frame, capacity, etc). I was just hoping to get some more info about what other people look for in a carry...

Anything by Stephen Hunter... Every one of his books depicts accurate use of firearms. He wrote Point of Impact, which is the movie that Shooter is based off of. All of them are good... and I own all but a small handfull of them. Lots of suspense, lots of good writing, lots of gunplay... he...

Based on your story, I would give you a B+ instead of a C+... you reacted rapidly to your first known sign of distress (dogs barking) you investigated with adequate tools (firearm and light source) you got your kids into a safe area away from the muzzle of the gun you checked for...

As an Industrial Engineer who specializes in ergonomic evaluations, I would tend to think that this type of aiming system would be fairly effective. If you hold an imaginary gun (try to imagine a standard AR configuration) the way you normally shoot, your right elbow is tucked into your...

I am not too sure if they are good investments, but they hold their value comparatively well. A gun that was $500 NIB can be sold off in a pinch for at least $400 at nearly any time. That's all they do is tie up some capital.

I prefer a big sticker on the back window that says "Proudly protected by Smith & Wesson"... both cops and bad guys get the same message... 'this guy is armed'.

167, Did your department have issues with the design / construction of the units (they were breaking durring 'normal' use) or was thier battery life not up to snuff for the high round count? I can immagine that the ones for the SIG and the Glock are nearly identical.

Does anybody use Lasermax products on their pistols? I have a Sig Sauer P6 (just like the P225 but is an ex-service pistol from Germany) and am looking at getting a LaserMax LMS-2251 for it for home defense use. The LMS-2251 essentially replaces the stock guide rod under the barrel with one...

Use a baton I think something that could be used one-handed would be far more effective. That leaves the other hand open for flashlight, cell phone, etc. A baseball bat is rather slow and clumsy when swung one-handed and will not deliver enough energy to be effective. Two handed, however...
