My stepson bought the series on DVD, I have watched it all and was blown away by the realism. It made me sweat several times, all that was lacking was the smell; it is amazing what the moviemakers can do this day and time. My father was in the Pacific and told me the Japs machinegun shot 3...

Why just the action when you can own the best rifle ever made for around a grand, the pre-64 Model 70 Winchester; it made the 30-06 what it is today. Consider a Remington if you like single shots but if it is a repeater you want better go Model 70.

How far beyond 500 yards? From what I've seen multiply $3 or more by what ever distance you choose.

Never had to fight over a fishing hole but a M-1 with a full clip would be as comfortable as I could get if forced to defend myself from a bear.

Apparantly Mom is more experienced in S/D than most that defend OC. Cops OC because the openly displayed badges give them away, they also CC when they are not wearing their badges because they are well practiced in S/D tactics.

Never said that Skribs should not be able to defend himself, rather, wish he would listen to his Mothers wisdom and carry CC. If you or him really wish to maximise your S/D skills you would never choose to OC. I guarantee you that if ever confronted by a real badguy your thoughts will change...

Your 7-11 senario is what will get you hurt in the real world, a badguy with a knife will see your OC and harpoon you while using your weapon to further continue his ploy. OC is showing your power in the S/D sense and makes you weaker, never stronger. A badguy will case an area before taking...

Post to Skribs: Sorry, but my read is you're baiting yourself for some serious trouble if you think flashing a weapon is a proper response to danger; once you point and worst use that weapon your world changes forever and it is not for the good, no matter what the cowboys tell you. I feel you...

A left handed Winchester Model 70 in a true pre-64 configuration.

Posted to NavyLCDR: Your logic suffers; if the badguys see a weapon and retreat to victimise another defenseless soul when CC would have the badguys facing armed resistance you have helped them hurt someone else. The idea of CC is that if enough people carry the bad guys don't know who's...

Occasionally yes, but seldom is youth blessed

Posted to Sam Cade: I know of accounts where LEO's were stripped of their weapon so if a tuffy is properly liquored up I doubt that an OCer is going to fare much better. Shoot a tuffy in NC over a weapon and the courts may take away your freedom, don't know about KY so enjoy your OC. I don't...

What I don't understand is what actions one will take when a tuffy confronts an OC with the premise of taking the weapon. The weapon is a liability unless one has the training to defend oneself from physical attack by a tuffy. To tell a young man, presumedly inexperienced, to carry a weapon in...

Care to expound, I don't understand.

Post to Sam Cade; Sorry partner, but most people are not surrounded by Amish but rather live were there are some pretty rough characters that will take a dare and back it up. I ask you if affronted by a tuffy what would be your course of action?
