Tactical reload, save the magazine in a pocket - you must assume that the intruder has an accomplice. I wouldn't approach the intruder but you must move to a position of cover and one where your room vision is maximized (a corner behind furniture, etc). Retreating to another room is not a...

Couldn't stand by and not render assistance. It's not in my DNA. Considering that your prints would not be on the officer's weapon, your chances of a faulty prosecution would be unlikely. Don't miss.

In Ohio, we have the power of citizens' arrest only in light of a felony - purse snatching does not count, but murder, assault, rape - sure. I actually work security for my church as the only non-LEO member of the team and I've been taught that the best way to handle that is to maintain...

6/2/09: HB203 was introduced in the Ohio Legislature. All Ohioans need to contact their representatives to support this revision to our concealed carry laws to allow us to eat in most restaurants WITHOUT disarming. Notification from Ohioans for Concealed Carry below.

Call me crazy but I'll just take a Star Trek phaser (not the wussy TNG kind, but the good ones with the pistol grip from TOS or the new movie).

Stack-Ons are basically green-painted lock boxes. They're great for keeping curious young hands away but they're woefully thin in terms of steel thickness. (I am an owner, but only because we're currently renting and I ain't hauling a 500# safe up a flight of stairs out of my basement. I'll...

I feel for you. I love GSDs as I have one and she is as sweet as can be. She's actually a little scared of little kids (not in a backed in the corner way, but more in a "I really am afraid I could hurt you" way). Now I don't mean to criticize, but your story leaves a little to question -...

Kennesaw, Georgia - it's required that every head of household own at least 1 gun.

My suggestions are: focus more on the business aspect of CCW - how does it impact the company? You're not likely to convince anyone with patriotic passionate language, but rather hard figures. Does allowing CCW at work deter crime in any way? Providing information like that will go leaps and...

Still 60% no with only 3 states going majority yes (Montana, Vermont, Jersey).

alemonkey, you are dead on with your assessment "All she cares about is getting and keeping power." She knows that she won't be speaker after 2010 if she even puts much credence on more gun control. The fact is that there's enough pro-gun Democrats in Congress that a new AWB is dead on...

Removing the misfired round and placing it on a table actually would render the round fairly safe save for any hands nearby should the powder finally ignite. The principles of physics apply here. The bullet part of the round itself contains the most mass compared to the cartridge itself. If a...

Instead of trying to hide them, why not just make them harder to find without going to serious effort. I have a false closet in my basement that I finished out, reinforced all of the studs, built a frame in and mounted my safe from 3 sides. I test the sucker with my baseball bat (to the studs...

There's a simple test you could do to figure this out. All matter has a temperature coefficient that specifies how quickly it dissipates heat, etc. (mind you all, thermodynamics was 8 years ago and I am not a thermal engineer so I use this stuff very very sporadically). The simplest method of...

Can't wait to see this! I am so going this weekend if I find time!
