I don't post very often, so forgive me if this has been brought up before. I also know that Apartment dwellers can't do this very often. That is a shame. But, how many of y'all have secuity doors? My heavy metal security doors can be left open many months of the year for ventilation. Since...

I live across from a elementry school in a town of 20,000. Because of pervert alerts from time to time, parents in this town are usually very conscious of strangers. Especially if they are walking close to the school. However, I have noticed strange cars parked within RPG range that have...

Beretta 92, bought in 1980. Multiple thousands of rounds fired through that baby. I had to replace the extractor last year. The rest of the gun works great. It is very hard to tell which one will last the longest but in my experience, the 6-gun is more dependable. PPP

Even seen that Harrison Ford movie? Depending on your distance from the BG. Step back, draw and blow him out of his socks. :eek: :D Of course, if you are close, then weapon retention techniques and positioning are very important. I never intend to get that close. Always keep my eyes...

Brerrabbit, post # 5, a dumb question please. What do you consider to be things that absorb Oxygen the best??? PPP

OH, if the above doesn't work, then you "cut loose your dogs" and show um what burning cordite smells like. :fire: But the above works more times than not. PPP

I have needed my CCW 2 times in 37 years. But, there were many other times that a "knowing" and "confident" smile probably did more good that all the gun powder at the Pendelton Marine base. On several occasions, just a non threating, yet confident smile has got me out of more poop than you...

I feel sorry for y'all living in a big city. It is much easier in a smaller town. As said by others, practice makes perfect. It is a state of mind. After awhile, personal defense is a habit, and becomes second nature and not so stressful. Move to a city under 100,000 folks, and you will not...

Is anyone else discouraged already??? I know this has been alluded to before, but there appears to be no 1 candidate that has it all. I vote for a combo of Tom. Fred, and Newt. Since that is NOT going to happen, I vote for the Highroad.:) I think there is more wit and wisdon in this group...

Earlier comments about knives are correct. Parts of S.D. can get pretty hairy. Since you mentioned LA County also, you might consider staying in Dana Point. Southern Orange County. Right on the highway,and the Ocean. very pretty town, but small. My best friend has lived there for over 27...

As a real estate appraiser, I have had to wait many times across the street from a home I needed a comparable sale picture of because there were a bunch of kids playing in the front yard. Probably 10% of the time, some neighbor would just flat come out and ask me " can I help you?" After I...

Tecumseh, Me thinks thou doth protest too much. My statements were not desined to put anyone on the defensive. No matter what you belief system might be, that is entirely your business, you must admit that this is not the morality of yesteryear. (murders, rapes, robberies, etc.etc,etc,)...

I've only been around 59 years, and that does not make me any smarter than anyone else, but I've seen a few things maybe some of you haven't My 2c: The libertarian party is divided between those who are true Constitutionalist, and those who are just rebelling against God, Family, and...

East and South LA are already a home base for those boys. We have had cells in the Central Valley of CA. also. I agree with you about the Fed using this for more control. control Freeks are going to be the death of this Nation. Keep your powder dry boys, in CA. at least, it's gonna hit the...

CCW in Kali I have had a CCW in Tulare County CA for 37 years. I get it through the Sheriff's office. NEVER had a problem, even when I am late on my renewal date. The town I live in is very anti CCW, but the County Sheriff is king in CA. Most of the Central Valley Counties are pretty good...
