    History Channel's "Top Shot" on Sunday night

    This show just got better. I've enjoyed the whole season, but I wish the whole season had been like the last episode. More shooting, less squabbling. I was also super excited to see Adam finally go, what a jerk. The speed shooter showed that he probably doesn't practice marksmanship as much...

    One Gun For All Carry Situations?

    I think the idea of sticking to one manual of arms for a combat gun is very good. You will be the most proficient with what you train the most. Most people don't train enough with one gun, much less 3, or 6, or 12. If you have trained with a Glock or a traditional Sig (no manual safety)...

    Concealed carry tactic (kinda concealed)

    It's not that people didn't care, it's that most of them didn't notice. The average person walks around with his head in the clouds, totally oblivious to the world around them. I am thankful that I had a father who taught me the importance of awareness.

    Looking for advice on an issue

    While I don't agree, I can understand the position of the Fair. Imagine a shooting incident at the Fair, with an innocent person injured or killed because of the gun play involving a licensed concealed carry holder. Scenario #1 the Fair has posted the area as a gun free zone. The person with...

    Good handgun for small, female college student..?

    2.5 to 4-inch revolver in .38 Special or .357 Magnum. For my money a 3-inch Smith & Wesson Model 13 or 65 with a bobbed hammer. Glock 19 / Smith & Wesson M&P Compact 9mm / Kahr CW9 For a little more money the Walther PPS 9mm is an excellent firearm. Some other comments: Pick the gun...

    Why did Daly let Appeal go to Supreme Court?

    I guess I don't understand the question... The trial court offered judgment in favor to the City of Chicago, and the plaintiffs filed an appeal to the Supreme Court, with the court considered the request and granting certiorari. The City was able to argue that court shouldn't hear the case...

    Daley and Chicago'c new law

    It will require future legal challenges. There won't be any criminal charges, the best you could hope for in the form of a government response would be a civil action filed by the Justice Department. Here is an interesting article about gun control: National Review: Gun Control Doesn't Work

    How to Answer this Anti Point?

    The most honest answer is that "we're not exactly sure." The Supreme Court is allowing the judicial system to work the particulars out over time, which is why we went from Heller, to McDonald, and eventually we'll move on to other decisions that will more and more narrowly define what is and is...

    Range incident - opinions wanted

    Sounds like a collision of two a**holes. Joe needs to mind his own business unless he is addressing a safety concern, and Jim needs to learn how to control his temper. It is much easier to deal with someone like Joe by just nodding your head while smiling and walking away. "Thank...

    Most people do not handle firearms safely!

    What part of the country do you live in? Most of the people I've seen handle guns who are not experienced usually question about the gun being unloaded, and I show them how to check that the firearm is unloaded. They generally do not put their finger on the trigger. While some will...

    Which gun, for a one-gun user, in a worse-case scenario?

    Glock 9mm or .40 caliber. The Glock pistol is the most popular pistol in American law enforcement today, with the .40 caliber being the most popular caliber. 9mm is also a good choice since it is standard military issue. While I prefer the larger guns, my thought process says a subcompact...

    What are your favorite books on war and/or weapon related subject matter?

    Historical Fiction I can highly recommend The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara as others have done here. It is the winner of a Pulitzer Prize. The books by his son Jeff are also excellent. I have read the Civil War novels, as well as the American Revolution novels The Rise to Rebellion...

    Is it appropriate for a RSO to go through your bags?

    Actually, its not. You need to research the legal concept of taking. If the range officer (or your waiter) is challenged, and then refuses to relinquish the property then you have a trespass of chattels, a civil wrong and not a crime.
