:rolleyes: I actually experienced a home invasion back in 1990. My Pit Bulls saved me on that one; but, I assure you, I have no intention of, ever, being caught helpless like that again! Perhaps the most important lesson I learned that Sunday morning is you can never allow yourself to take a...

:rolleyes: The best house clearing drill is no house clearing drill - at all! :uhoh: Jumping out of bed to fumble around with a loaded gun ain't the safest thing you'll, ever, do in life. The other really dangerous thing to do with a loaded gun is to wander around your house in the dark...

:rolleyes: Yeah, the water-based black powder solvent probably had a lot to do with this. After you’ve cleaned everything out with, either, ‘Hoppes #9’ or, ‘Sweet’s 7.62mm’ solvent, next, dry everything well; and apply, either, Sentry Solutions, ‘Smooth Kote’ dry lubricant or...

:) Good idea! The other thing that works well at removing light surface rust is (Are you ready?) any bore paste like JB, 'Bore Brite' or IOSSO, 'Bore Cleaner'. ;)

:what: Oh, contraire! The model gun this guy was using has everything to do with what happened. In case you haven’t noticed all the safeties on Glock pistols are PASSIVE rather than ACTIVE. See the, ‘Pistolsmithing’ column in the November issue of, ‘American Handgunner’ if you need...

:rolleyes: Hmmm! Sounds like an Illinois problem to me. Here in Pennsylvania, CHL holders simply get to check their carry pieces at the courthouse door. This seems so perfectly logical and works well in PA everyday of the week! All courthouses have metal detectors and sheriff’s deputies...

:scrutiny: The Glock part doesn't surprise me; by any chance did this guy look anything like, Sure sounds like, ‘professional courtesy’ to me. Zip ties and loaded guns DON’T go together. What a scary thought! Kind’ a makes you wonder what happened to his left arm –...

:rolleyes: This is positively NOT A SAFE PRACTICE with any of the modern, 'high pressure' rounds; e.g., 40 S&W, 10mm, 357 SIG, or the latest 45 pistol aberration: the 45 GAP. Especially inside a plastic frame pistol it spells, 'kaBoom!' :D

:) Hydroscopic Silica Gel is OK; but it has to be regularly heated in an oven and dried out which is a real nuisance – Especially for someone living in college. Several of the large gun cleaning supply manufacturers offer rust preventatives. I use Birchwood Casey, ‘Sheath’ on the...

:) Hey, look at this! (And with AA hulls, too.) http://thearmedcitizen.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=4918 Worth a try, right. ;)

:rolleyes: The reduced charge indicates that the DA doesn't believe the shooter acted with, either, premeditation or malice of forethought. Nothing more. I don't agree about the notion that the average person is going to celebrate a conviction in this case. Instead the public might be...

:rolleyes: Look at things the other way: There IS proof that Grant Kuenzli never beat anyone to death. :D In the past 15 years I've been attacked twice. Once my home was broken into; my dogs took care of that one for me; and, late one night when I went to the store for a gallon of milk...

:rolleyes: Exactly! That’s what bothers me so much about this homicide – I see where I might have done this myself! Basically, I’m an easy going person. The thought of someone, else, (Even someone with a gun in his hand) actually shooting me when, in fact, I mean him no physical...

Apparently you’ve still got your, ‘blinders’ on. It’s not, as you say, ‘My threshold’. You should take up your argument with the Florida State Attorney General. Don’t need a new argument. Me and the Coconino County Prosecutor are doing fine with the one we already have...

:rolleyes: I’m glad I saw this thread. I think about this tragic incident a lot. Over the past several months, I’ve tried to justify it to myself - I really have. On the other side of the coin, I’ve , also, tried to condemn it too. No matter how many times I go over this, I am unable...
