It took me 4 years to get around to firing my M1... Got it for a graduation, and then was moving around a bunch where it wasn't possible/practical to bring a whole lot of guns with me for a few years so it stayed at my parents house.
Likewise, I've made a face to face deal where the other guy...
No, if you follow the links, you'll see that they mean "military consultants and intelligence analysts with enlisted military experience" make $51,000.
Even factoring in bennies, I doubt the average for those still wearing the uniform comes anywhere close to $51,000, especially if you...
Whatever the shopowner wants.
That said, I'll tend to frequent a dealer who has a hookup for me... and given the spending habits of a lot of young military guys, it seems like it would make pretty good business sense to be known around the barracks as "the guy with the hookup for...
While operating a motorcycle, I can only accomplish the simplest of tasks with my left hand. My only holster is a strongside belt rig that would be well placed to completely bugger up my hip joint if I fell on it. Furthermore, unless I'm on an interstate (which I'm hoping to avoid as much as...
In almost exactly a month, I'll be graduating The Citadel and heading home for a while.
I bought a bike while I was down here, and since I like twisties, I like camping, and I'm gonna have a few weeks on my hands at the very least, I'm planning on riding up the blue ridge parkway/ skyline...
I started out shooting as a hobby with my grandfather... all .22 all the time.
After 9/11, my dad got into the act and I started to get some trigger time on centerfires. I've always been interested in the military. so the first rifle that I bought was an AR15, and the first pistol was a used...
I carry a pistol to protect myself. Option C falls under that, because I wouldn't want to live with an innocent's death on my conscience because it wouldn't be convenient to deal with the consequences.
If I can't leave well enough alone (and live with myself) might as well be able to intervene...
You bet wrong. That subway is neither an airport, K-12 school, state park or courthouse, so PA state law is silent on the subject, and Philly is not allowed to interfere legally thanks to preemption.
SEPTA or Philly can say what they want (and they do) but Harrisburg has a demonstrated tendency...
This is the first time the weather's been warm since I got my LTCF. Typically I just wear my 1911 in a good OWB leather holster and cover up with a hoody/jacket/suitcoat depending on where I'm at.
Basically I see my choices as:
...Stick with what I'm doing but "hawaiian shirt" it. No, I'm...
doesn't this kind of prove the OC'ers point? By having an obvious weapon, you've reduced your potential threat pool from "every hood in the ghetto" to "only that small minority of hoods who don't give a darn about lethal violence being involved in their robberies?"
FWIW, I believe the vastly...
Why carry a holstered gun at home?
Because its
a) Safer-the weapon is under your direct control at all times.
b) Quicker-self explanatory
c) Convenient-don't have to take the holster on/off when you go out, don't have to engage in unneccessary admin gunhandling.
d) Less likely to...
Watched I Am Legend last night.
SPOILER SPACE
End Spoiler Space-
The scene where the dog gets it ruined the movie for me. Ok, Neville wasn't combat arms. Fair enough--but a :cuss:FIRST YEAR ROTC CADET knows better than to let his weapon get...
I'm pretty satisfied with my collection right now.
I mean yeah, there are some nice pieces out there that I wouldn't turn down if someone gave'em to me, but I've got no plans to buy more guns in the near or intermediate future.
What I have can with proper accessories do whatever I would...
I do both (OWB, forward cant, usually with cover), and although as a rule I try to only go open around people who know me, I'm not gonna freak out if someone else gets a glance.
Some people have different social hangups about going armed. A 21 year old military man carrying a sidearm in civvies...
Somewhere between 45 degrees downangle and ready to fire whether it's my 1911 or my AR 15.
When I go "alert to the dirt" with an AK.
It doesn't get used as a rule on my Beretta or my Mossberg. I'm comfortable carrying the 92FS with hammer down and one in the pipe, and the mossberg safety is...
