    Why .357 and not .45?

    I live in the mountains of Colorado and have had several Black Bear incidents including one that tried to break into the house. The dogs have done all the heavy lifting so far. Luckily I have never fired against a bear in anger. In the home I keep a 12 ga loaded with Brenneke slugs in the first...

    Any Info on Gold Dot Short Barrel ammo?

    I know that most ammo is designed for standard barrel lengths and the powder pressure profile may not be optimum for short barrelled handguns. I also know that with everything else being equal that higher velocities can be had with longer barrelled handguns. My question is: Does the new Gold Dot...

    444 Marlin recoil

    I have the carbine length 444. The recoil does not feel too bad, but the combination of recoil pad compression and recoil did cause the scope to hit me in the eye brow. Getting a long eye relief scope and it should be a piece of cake.

    UF newspaper article and poll on campus CCW

    Interesting. I graduated from UF in 1982. Lived off campus and had a rifle at my apt. I had a Rem 700 in .270Win and my roommate had a 30-30 though I don't remember the model. No CCW laws back then.

    My never-before-seen graphs relating violent crime rate and gun owning % by state!

    I agree with what Titan6 said. In many states a lawful self defense would be considered a violent crime if it had occurred in a more "anti" state.

    Giuliani on Gun Control, 1993

    When that totalitarian Rudie speaks, he looks like what people I grew up with in Florida would call a sh*t eating possum.

    If you lived in the year 1901

    I would carry the 44 mag Desert Eagle that I snuck past TSA (Time Travel Security Administration)

    Why is 18.5" barrel best for defense?

    With a long barrel it is easier for a BG to hide behind a corner and grab the barrel as you are searching. In this position the BG has leverage over you.

    OSHA Backs off from Ammo Regulations

    Good for OSHA. I would not have complied anyway. Not enforcing this rule will give OSHA employees more time to worship their Stalin statues anyway.

    Right to carry in Maryland

    I hope MD gets RTC, but I am not holding my breath.

    Universal citizenship a bad idea?

    Having those who pay little in taxes vote on what the productive class will pay for is simply wrong. If people are voting for issues that have a tax consequence, they need to be prepared to pay their fair share.

    Share your experiences for the inexperienced

    I have posted this before, most recently in the "in my driveway" thread: Years ago, just a few years out of college, I was sitting on my couch reading a book at about 8:00 p.m. I heard the door knob jiggle on my apt door. I looked outside through the peep hole and saw a wierd...

    Incident in my own driveway

    Years ago, just a few years out of college, I was sitting on my couch reading a book at about 8:00 p.m. I heard the door knob jiggle on my apt door. I looked outside through the peep hole and saw a wierd "skinhead-tattooed" and very large young male outside my door. I assumed he was visiting the...

    The Southern Poverty Law Center doesn't like my books--boo hoo

    If these people give you a good review it is time to worry! This kind of review from "them" should be considered a compliment!

    Giuliani is an idiot

    He is a big city control freak that uses crime as his excuse to use the same controls on the law-abiding. A vote for Hillary is probably a slightly greater vote for freedom, though that is not saying much. Has anyone seen Bloomberg and Rudy at the same place and same time?
