    A case study in the effects of arming the general public?

    I read a book once on two mining towns in the west where basically everyone over about 10 was armed. The author's conclusion was that minor crime was almost non existent, but minor quarrels sometimes grew into shootouts. It was by a major historian of the west, i'll look it up and come back...

    "Tactical" 1100

    it looks like all they've done is add a longer mag and a bigger bolt handle, but those are both good choices. Plus you can easily put the original magazine and longer barrel back on and go duck hunting or trap shooting.

    Living Trust

    The advantage of a trust even for "non titled" items is that it spells out what you want done with property, such as guns, in a private way. Of course you can leave a list, but that is not legally binding in some states.

    Has there ever been documented dual wielding gun battles?

    I tried with two identical glock 17s once. By alternating i could make some decent hits, but it was much much slower than i could shoot one strong and then switch.

    Anyone know why the original NFA was passed?

    There was a huge crime spree by very violent criminals in 1934/35. 1. Many of them had learned to be criminals during prohibition and then found themsevles out of work. 2. Only federal prohibition ended with repeal. Some states, like Oklahoma, continued to be dry. The "Miller' of "MIller...

    I have heard people saying the .223 isnt great for defense and have a question

    "Bah, people have been complaining about smaller rounds since we got away from the .30-06." Long before that, they complained when we dropped down to the .45 -70 from the big muskets, and complained when we went to .30 from the .45-70. Personally i suspect a lot of modern 5.56 rounds are a...

    CC when you're not sure about your coworkers

    You might need to have some of your pants modified to have deeper pockets made of heavier material. Or use the kramer or one of the other undershirts. If you are some sort of technie that carries tools maybe a waist pack ,but only medics and fashion professionals carry those here.

    Glove compartment gun, which one?

    I remember the gun writer Jim Wilson asked his readers this question some time back. It doesn't exactly fit your criteria, because it would not be as concealable, but the overwhelming choice was a large caliber, short barrelled revolver, because: 1. revolver reliability, no manual safety...

    Glock 26/27 Info

    i love my little glock 26. It fits my hand better than my 17; the bump is higher up and that fits my hand perfectly. I used to ankle carry it until i broke my foot and can't take the weight. Still works well on the belt. it is accurate! The only changes i made were to put on big dot...
