    The ialefi article is VERY instructive. I urge everyone to read it.

    The Knock-Out Game

    I have dear friends in Chicago who experienced: 1. a son-in-law in Brooklyn stabbed in the back without warning while walking down the street around 11 a.m. 2. a son shot in the back walking home through a park at night. He didn't survive. Incident caught on tape, perp identified as the same...

    The Knock-Out Game

    When I lived in L.A. there were no carry permits. Something that worked for me, although it might sound counterintuitive, was to give a blank look as if I didn't understand what was said to me, and then continue whatever I was doing before. Helps being so old I probably have one molecule of...

    Or he just wanted to scare them sufficiently that they would never try such a thing again.

    This was in NY. IIRC he was arrested but never did any jail time.

    The Knock-Out Game

    Three comments: 1. Kudos, this was a good idea for a thread IMO. 2. Re filming, I have seen numerous videos of the knockout game that could NOT have been taken by the knocker-outer, but rather by someone a little down the street who filmed the whole encounter. I don't know if they work in...

    To red dot or not to red dot...

    Somewhat related to the topic of red dots on carry guns, just today I got an email from Speer with a video featuring an instructor who likes to use a handgun with no sights at all to improve accuracy, I could see exactly what he meant, he described it by saying with the whole top of the gun...

    To red dot or not to red dot...

    When I got my AR I had exactly that issue with the first red dot I bought for it, which was a Holosun... I bought the one that was on the model I had used at the gun store range where it seemed fine. I bought the AR for home defense, it was the summer of the riots and in the unlikely event they...

    List of my guns for wife

    Depends on what state they are in. In a community property state, if purchased during the marriage not by pre-marriage or individually inherited funds kept separate, yes, they are also hers. from https://www.investopedia.com/personal-finance/which-states-are-community-property-states/, look...

    A trust is a good way to keep knowledge of your estate confined to your heirs and your attorney.

    Things to Not Do

    Funny story re hoodies, shortly after I moved to Arizona I went to the park one day, just to sit and watch the ducks in the pond. I see two young guys enter the park wearing hoodies and coming in my direction, my Cali antennae immediately went up. After observing them for awhile I realized...

    No, because both were dressed "normally".

    Things to Not Do

    You're still implying that I would use dress as a reason to draw a gun, after I clearly explained that I consider appearance AN indicator, not a SOLE indicator. Here's what I wrote (https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/things-to-not-do.929438/post-12875633): I never said appearance...

    Things to Not Do

    They usually indicate their affiliation with a red or blue bandanna, as opposed to a jacket or whatever. And they would be wearing other items of clothing like heavy neck chains.

    Things to Not Do

    The Bloods and Crips are pretty much all over Los Angeles County, which is where I used to live. I vaguely remember seeing they spread to other cities, but I was speaking of my personal experience. I never said appearance should be relied upon in the absence of any other indicator. I think...

    Things to Not Do

    @Jeff White said: A lot of people wear bandanas and dew rags. Alone they aren’t an indicator of anything. That mode of dress that started with gang bangers has spread throughout our culture. My response: I think maybe the difference in our views is at least partly attributable to the...

    Things to Not Do

    A person makes a choice about how they present themselves, how they dress is part of that. Ask yourself why an upstanding citizen would want to present him/herself as a gangbanger.

    Things to Not Do

    She could have put her shopping cart between herself and the potential assailant. A shopping cart not only preserves distance, it can even be used as a makeshift weapon by shoving it into BG if necessary. Corollary: Do NOT carry your bags to the car by hand, you need your hands free in the...

    Things to Not Do

    That was your reply to "What we don’t know is was he wearing a business suit (doubtful) or did he look like he just came out of a biker bar." I disagree. A guy wearing a bandana and a heavy neck chain, ESPECIALLY IF HE HAS TEARDROP TATTOOS ON HIS FACE (gangbangers put one of these for each...
