Glock 19....failed to fire, light primer strike on a Gold Dot

I just checked the Texas score from Brady.... we are holding at 6 for the moment, but are working on moving that down to 4 with CCW on college campus :) I must say, giving people a failing grade for wanting to comply with a Constitutional amendment? Am I missing something? and...

So, for a BBQ in Texas on private property; Can anyone open carry with the property owner's consent? Or just the property owner?

IME, Glocks and XD's are neck and neck....and that is why I carry a Sig ;) But in all honesty, with practice you can make either a Glock or an XD (or a Sig) shoot where you want it to, when you want it to. I don't make accuracy comparisons without firing enough rounds through a weapon to be...

Okay I changed my mind.....New worst case scenario: I am attacked and need my CCW while I'm at a gas station/rest stop in Maryland

I have, but it was in reaction to me not pulling the trigger fast enough....I'm sure it will happen to me in the situation that you just had....and I'm sure I will be more mad then than I was about missing the buck ;)

For HD and dog control, I keep Hornady TAP 75 gr in my AR

If the dog was out to hurt your son, there would be more than a nick on his nose. Everyone knows what animals are capable of, and this was not an attack, it was a defense. The dog simply felt threatened. If the dog had mauled your son, then I'm sure when your wife called the PD, they would have...

This, my friend, is what the adjustable in adjustable sights is for :)

I knew I could count on you, Sam ;)

This was recently posted in the general gun discussion and I did not want to hijack the thread so I am reposting here as a question. Why, in a multiple threat scenario, would you start from the back? I would, and have, planned to start with the closest threat to me because in a gunfight...

Shooting the dog for being in your yard will bring you more trouble than you need right now. Even if it was in your yard, your son could have provoked the snap. Children can be unaware that what they are doing can be seen as threatening by animals. What your son could have thought was a "pat"...

Prepare for the worst, pray for the best. And if someone asks to shoot your "M249" when you are holding an AR-15.....tell him you're out of ammo or the next thing he will ask is "Where is the full auto switch thingy??" Basically as post 50 said, have the mindset that anyone could do you...

My AR drops feral dogs much faster and from much further away than the Sig on my hip. That's why I like it more

I don't see this happening. The North Hollywood shootout is a big reason that officers began being issued rifles. Being in a gunfight against a high powered rifle with a pistol is not a good way to protect themselves or the public. However, many departments instead of providing the rifle, will...

Forcing a gun into her hands will do the exact opposite of what you are wanting. My mother was the same way until I caught two guys lurking around our house and peeping into the windows. If I wasn't home, they could have broken in, and neither my mother nor my little brother know how to use a...

The only time I could understand the use of a FA weapon from a LE perspective would be in the hands of a SWAT entry team. Going into what could quickly turn into a close quarters battle, a FA weapon is necessary. For longer range engagements, like the North Hollywood shootout, even those trained...

During the occasional check up here is a question I get from the doc: "When you hunt, do you wear electronic muffs? Ear plugs? or nothing?" Me: "Muffs or plugs" Doc: "In that case I bet your hearing is better than mine. I still have trouble finding my earplugs when I get out into the...

I am a big dog lover, but I have had to kill them on occasion. Out on the farm there are feral dogs, and some that we believe are the neighbors, all of which are extremely aggressive. The first one I killed with a Glock 19, and it was shot 4 times as it came at me before it died. Out on the...

My worst case? Being in a situation where I would actually have to use my gun. Would I? Of course. But I don't ever want to be put into that position.
