    Shoot to kill or to stop?

    Dang It - Another Workplace Shooting...

    rmurphster - I meant "Dang it" in the sence that TexasSIGman expressed: "Dang it this happened where no one could defend themselves legally against a criminal". I'm always troubled when something like this happens - even when the "good guys" are able to defend themselves on equal footing...

    GARAND CMP Problems

    Just a note on Dr. Dickie's mention of the $35 stocks from Armscorp - per their website, this price does not include the front and rear hand guards, which run an additional $35 each.

    Tulsa Police Upgrade Firepower To Match The Bad Guys

    doubleg said: doubleg, I'm not quite sure what you mean - could you clarify your statement a little? The woman quoted in the article isn't talking about the TPD firing on people - she's talking about the gang bangers indiscriminately throwing lead around.

    Tulsa Police Upgrade Firepower To Match The Bad Guys

    Tulsa's got a bad gang problem... Most of the shootings are either black-on-black or brown-on-brown, and are mostly confined to the north and east sides of town, with a pocket of activity right in the big middle of Young-Yuppie-Town, where the powers that be decided to put some low-income...

    LaEscopeta said: and I agree completely. Justification should be required for all governmental acquisitions. I'm just reflecting on the number of arguments above for restricting Law Enforcement's access to types of arms based on need, training level, lack of responsibility, etc. These are...

    Embarrasing S&W 640 Maintenance Question

    Don - You have the right idea - however, the escutcheon nut is not a hex nut, but is a press fit collar-type nut that is inside the left stock, so there is no opportunity to get a socket on it.
