I didn't even realize that an AR-15 had become available as a handgun. Of course, the AR-15 has been made in so many versions that I am not surprised. Other than being an interesting conversation piece, wouldn't think it very practical.

It is sad that so many people don't realize that shooting is a life-style and comes with responsibilities. They just get off shooting and drinking.

Good question. This event really saddened me.

Hey, whose the trained professional here? Edgar Dale and Bruce Nyland of the University of Wisconsin developed a “Cone of Learning.” They found that humans learn more from active involvement, remembering 90% of what is both said and done (active) compared to only 50% of what is heard and seen...

The sign will not make you more of a target. A thief who doesn’t want the complications of a child may turn away. But usually they are looking for a specific vehicle, and if your driving one, they will try and get it regardless of if you have a child on board or not. Clearly, they don’t want...

Back when I was on the farm, we didn't much like people shooting on our property and posted our land to keep them out, in spite of the fact that we had a gun rack full of weapons. There were basically two reasons. First, farming was our livelihood, so we had a vested interest in keeping...

Legalizing marijuana has been encouraged by many in the Judicial arena for decades. They feel that the time, energy and expense necessary to prosecute marijuana users was not justified by the threat that marijuana use brought to society. It was a practical consideration over the legal one...

Was it Sly Stallone in COBRA who said, "You are the disease, and I am the cure!"

The original question was, in this specific situation, what would your reaction be? I watched this video. Supposing that I rolled up on this scene, I really would not know who was who. Maybe the guy getting beat was a Good Samaritan; maybe he was a rapist who has just got-ten caught by a mob...

In the The Court of Public Opinion I pretty much agree with Rodeo4joe. I have had dogs attack and have beaten them back only to have them circle and attack again. It wasn't until their master called them off that they stopped. The warning shot demonstrated a lack of malice on Mr. Fish’s...

Gunsmith: It was the same in the 60's. I was in shop class, putting away a wood plane and someone I thought I could trust pulled a switch blade. I grabbed a wood chisel in each hand and the guy acted all shocked that I thought that he would have cut me. Never truly trusted anyone after that.

It is hard enough for people with clean records to have their constutional rights honored. First step is to get the 2nd recogonized for all with clean records. Then, second step, allow some with Felony convictions to have firearms.

Agreed. And talk all we want, we will not know what we will REALLY do until the situations arises.

It was an old “M” model International Farmall. Seriously, thanks for the insight. And you are right, tons of hypothetical situations. It seems so simple, if they don’t break into my house, then no problem. If they do, then they are dead, straightforward, Black and White. But things...

Actually, that is reassuring. So, just so I am clear. I know that hypothetical’s are not cool, so this will be my last. Scenario: Your car runs out of gas at night in the rurals (cell phone gets no bars), you see a farm house and walk to it for help. No lights are on in the house and there...

(I am not a lawyer but I pretend to be one on the internet) I am not sure if this law is writen just for self-defense. I lifted this from another post in another string. § 9.42. DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT PROPERTY. A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or...

I though that this was interesting: A law that God gave to ancient Israel is eerily similar to this Castle Law.—Exodus 22:2, 3 “2 If a thief is caught in the act of breaking into a house and is struck and killed in the process, the person who killed the thief is not guilty of murder. 3 But...

Thanks for all the feed back--Big help I have my plan of action: #1 I am going to try different guns and find a good fit. #2 Going to sell some stuff on e-bay to make the coin I need to buy one #3 The permit process in NYC is NUTS, going to take me some time to figure it out...

Situational awareness About 30 years ago I was walking to the subway on 110th in Manhattan. As a walked past a liquor store, a guy who was loitering in front of the store started following me up the street. About 6 or 7 houses ahead was another guy, lingering on a stoop. Their tactic was...

So, what have we learned? Don't shoot blindly through walls, doors, etc. Remember, those guys in Saving Private Ryan who shot through the walls ended up gettin’ killed by the guys they shot at. After announcing that you have called the police and have a gun, keep quiet so as not to give up...
