I spent several hours today at a standout for Scott Brown. The responses from passing drivers was overwhelmingly in Scott's favor. We've got a chance here. If you are in MA or a nearby state, now is your chance to get involved and help make history. Don't sit on the sidelines. Democracy is...

Don't just give moral support. Give $$$. Scott Brown needs your donations to counter her allies (SEIU, Acorn, AFL-CIO, etc.).

We need your help NOW in MA. Scott Brown is running for Senator. Scott is rated as A+ by the MA Gun Owners' Action League. He has supported gun owners in MA for many years, at great cost. He is running against Martha Coakley. Martha has never met a gun control bill that she didn't...

Coakley never met a gun control bill that she didn't support. We can't buy new Glocks in MA because Coakley believes they are "unsafe." Scott Brown is rated A+ by the MA Gun Owners' Action League. Martha is rated a D, and that is incredibly generous to her. As a MA resident, I am begging you...

You might want to reread my post on that, because it appears that you completely misconstrued it.

I've owned and carried 1911s for about 20 years. I've never had to lower a 1911 hammer on live round, and see no situation in which I would need to do so. I'm not afraid to do it -- I simply see no point unless you are going to carry condition 2, which I'm not. You carry condition 2. Good...

Really? I still don't understand who one would ever need to decock a 1911.

I've been in the boondocks with my 1911. My 1911 stayed cocked and locked and was just fine. And cocking the hammer one-handed on a 1911 that has a beavertail safety is not high on my list of things that I want to do. If some folks want to carry condition 2, that's their business. I don't...

IIRC, under certain circumstances Texas allows the use of deadly force to protect property at night. But I don't think any other state has a similar law.

1-2 seconds for me to draw and fire, depending upon the range. If, during that time, Mongo sees my gun and decides that he has a pressing engagement elsewhere and turns to leave, I just might let him do that very thing.

I agree completely. Unfortunately, I believe he has won DOD contracts in the past.

My guess is that he is expecting Coakley to win (which she probably will) and he wants access to her to help him win DOD contracts.

rondog, please, explain to me when I would need to decock a 1911. When I load my 1911, I insert a magazine, cycle the slide, apply the safety, top off the magazine and reholster. When I need to unload the gun, I remove the magazine, lower the safety, cycle the slide to remove the round from...

At least one of the agents was a SWAT instructor, IIRC. And they had two agents armed with M16s, but they were a couple miles away in the toilet at the time.
