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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.

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...
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...
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.
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...
@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...
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.
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...
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...
