    You guys are Great!

    I've really enjoyed my time here, and you guys are among the best I've met on the Web since starting browsing in 1994 (UNIX/DOS since 1986). I've learned a lot, posted some hopefully helpful comments, but I'm moving on. (I'm spending too much time here, now that I've gotten past 'basic handgun...

    Buying a firearm and sticker shock - a common sense approach?

    One thing I learned in buying things is that you have to look further than the sticker price. 1. Generally, to start out, look at low, medium, high prices on an item and buy the medium; 2. Look at the price of something and realize that you will spend many times the cost in supplies (bikes...

    Shoulder Holsters without a CHL?

    I would say that a vertical shoulder holster where the end of the holster has a strap that loops onto the belt would be 'attached to a belt'. (In addition the firearm is pointed at the ground.) A horizontal shoulder holster rig, I would say is...how shall I put this...just stupid on several...

    Knives-what's your carry?

    I've switched to the big brother of the Spyderco Tenacious (3.25), the Resiliance (4.5"). http://www.amazon.com/Spyderco-Resilience-Black-PlainEdge-Knife/dp/B004AWOLV8 Good review first one below: Also a well-done review: http://www.agrussell.com/spyderco-resilience-g10/p/SPC142GP/ You can...

    The Myth of Situational Awareness?

    One of the things that makes me laugh when watching shows like 'Personal Defense TV' and other pretty good shows on firearms is this. They show the drill where the guy shoots his target, then goes to low ready and looks to left and right, and/or pivots a little and looks behind and then...

    Officer cited for drunken driving faces OWI firearm charge

    Billy Club, as it pertains to Act 35

    Well, you can't tell upon meeting up with an individual if they are trained in any martial art, though there are some 'tells'. I was just cautioning on having it attached to you with a lanyard. If you do so, loop it like you do a ski pole - your hand goes through it to grip but not the thumb...

    It looks like an epidemic - Officer charged

    http://www.wtnh.com/dpp/news/crime/officer-arrested-for-sexual-assault-of-minor I'd say that's going to leave a mark.

    We want our senior citizens/retirees to be armed!

    I mentioned this topic buried in another thread but I think it deserves its own post. My friend remarked to me that she felt (and heard her brother say) that we should enable our senior citizens to carry, and carry openly, because this is the segment of the population that is more educated...

    Now, THAT's Open Carry

    Stolen from the New Yorker 'Caption this' contest: "Now, that's a Man who supports the 2nd Amendment" (woulda been my caption, lol)

    Pros and Antis go at it. Gun Fight (First Aired: Apr. 13, 2011) Activists and advocates debate gun ownership in America. I'll synopsize later. Sorry I didn't see it sooner.

    A site I found - revealing

    I don't know how I got this site to come up because I wasn't searching for it, but now I know I'm not a racist! It was an anti-African American site with the n-word in the title. I looked around and after reading the titles to some threads actually found myself, to my astonishment, feeling...

    A little off topic, but is a issue I must tell about.

    You weren't wearing your new T-shirt were you? :)

    Are we allowed by board rules to petition a member be banned?

    I'd like to get permission from the board owners to petition or vote ban a particular user. I believe we ALL know to whom I'm referring. If it's within board rules, I'd like to put it to a member vote. I'd say we'd only do it if there was a vast majority, because censuring a person doesn't...
