It bothers me that so many people think that those who break the law deserve whatever the government gives them. In my experience, the law rarely lines up with what is right and wrong. Instead it is an arbitrary bureaucratic mess that punishes those who don't hurt others. There is no such...

Sorry, just realized the 'Legal' topic would have been a much better place for this thread...feel free to move it Mods.

I just read the Armed Citizen's Network article "Defending a Disparity of Force Shooting" that was posted by LPL on another thread. After reading it, my first thought is "how would someone like ME ever be able to win a court case after a justifiable self-defense incident"? The guy in the...

Sounds like a no win situation, but I think you handled yourself well. You considered pulling your weapon, but didn't react too quickly. A very balanced response to a very unbalanced situation.

Good decision. I love my G19, IMHO one of the best carry guns ever invented.

Thanks 451 Detonics, I'll check it out. Yo Mama - I'm on the same page as you. This will definitely be my "dress-up" gun. My Glock 19 will do the major lifting for most of the year. So far I'm really liking it (other than the long trigger). I have done my best to "accidentally" release the...

451 Detonics - When you carry the PF9 as a BUG, what kind of pocket holster do you use?

So my friend bought a Kel Tec PF9 today....and I'm not sure what happened but I walked out of the gun shop with one too. :eek: I had recently been looking for something small for summer carry, and lets just say, my willpower isn't that strong :o This is the first gun-related purchase I have...

CraigC: You're ignoring the basic economics of this situation: whether a shop goes out of business or not depends mostly on how they present value (product selection, willingness to help, low prices, etc) to customers. If they go out of business, it frees up more capital for another entrepreneur...

I think NavyLT just owned everyone on this thread :neener: Seriously though, it is obvious your comments have been thought through a little more than the typical post. It is surprisingly refreshing...

I agree completely with NavyLT's comments. Kleanbore, doesn't it just indicate that there is a problem with the way our system works? I think that as long as people are responsible with open carry, we (the RKBA movement) should be supportive. If it leads to more criminalization of CC, then OC...

M-Cameron: Actually, I haven't voted in quite awhile. Again, the lesser of two evils is still evil, and just because the majority vote for something doesn't give it any moral credence at all. I agree with you about the 2A. The problem is that just because a majority 'votes' on something, it...

M-Cameron: 'Philosophical semantics' is what determines right and wrong, whether it be through religion or scientific thought. I definitely have a problem just throwing away the principles I live by because it's the lesser of two evils. Blue_ridge: The fact that the NRA uses the government...

It's frustrating to me when people claim that online retailers are killing local shops by 'undercutting' prices. This is a basic fallacy of economics. :banghead: More competition = lower prices = better for everybody. Low costs online force small gun shops to cut the fat out of their...

My problem with the NRA is not the junk mail (although it does get ridiculous), I simply feel like they support gun rights for all of the wrong reasons. For example, if the federal government wanted to pass a law stating that every state has to respect gun rights, the NRA would most definitely...
