    Red dot or reflex sight for CCW?

    Actually, I think any advantage in a CCW situation is a good thing, whether it is night sights, lasers, red dots or whatever comes along next. For that reason, I don't think a "biometric pistol" would be a good idea, since it isn't an advantage. The key though to any technology though, is to...

    Red dot or reflex sight for CCW?

    I'll stick with the CT laser grips myself for CCW, even though I practice without it quite a bit as well. "See the red dot? That's where the bullet is going..." And that way I can shoot from most any position. And yes, I change the batteries at least twice a year, usually the same day...

    Utah mall shooting lessons learned

    I carry a S&W 642 with Crimson Laser grips and in a "digital film case" on my belt are two speed strips with the "rest" of the .38s And yeah, I've heard the laser arguments all day long...but I change the batteries every 2-3 months anyway and I love seeing that little red dot. I also have...

    What, exactly, is probable cause for a vehicle search?

    Of course, there is always the old joke: car speeding at 120 mph A policeman was sitting on the hard shoulder watching the traffic go by when a car zoomed past him doing at least 120 mph! The policeman chased him down, and pulled the car over. He went up to the car and asked, "Do you...

    Do you ever worry about the evolution of firearms?

    What we will need then are bullets that can read intent....of course, then they'd probably have their own lawyers and wouldn't do anything. Now me, I'd like one of those "personal force fields" since carrying is for self-defense. That would be the trick! (Though I'm all for spidey powers...

    Your favorite bits of gunboard macho posturing?

    by my figuring, you'd be able to get to the mile-high club about 5 times....or would that be the 5 mile high club twice? If the blondes had enough hair, why not weave a parachute to slow you down, allow you to aim for a haystack????

    Guns and Motorcycles

    I carry in my jacket inner pocket when I'm riding (profshadow comes from professor who rides a shadow cycle, BTW) But what i really need is a "bike safe" to stick my gun in when I get to work (at a university.) I can't carry to the buildings and i can't just leave it in the soft bags...

    NRA Ratings for your state.

    I'm in Florida and there is one Supreme Court Justice of for a "shall retain" vote. And a couple judges running locally. Not on the NRA list...and the judicial branch is the one that can do more "damage" to our rights than any other, since ultimately any challenge is decided in the courts...

    Shoot, let go, or detain

    I know Spidey regretted letting the robber get away to kill his Uncle Ben, but I'd have to let him run while I dialed 911. Threaten me or mine or [ ] and I'll have to act to stop, if possible. Maybe a gun, gas, blade or something....or maybe just jumping on his back. Defense isn't...

    Should teachers/staff be allowed to CCW?

    Many people new to the teaching profession are ex-military. Seems like most in that group might be able to handle carrying a pistol.

    Wow, talk about a fantasy

    Ya know, I spent $5 once on an Airsoft gun and damn...it took down three 100 year oak trees in 4 seconds. It took 1 second to reset the spring for each round. I still keep it as my bedside gun, just in case some bad guy breaks in. Though I don't have anyone lined up to replace the house...
