    What's y'all's spirit gun ?

    Good topic....:) I'd have to say it's my 4" S&W 586, with the tuned action and the faux ivory grips. I love my great granddad's Colt SAA that was handed down to me, but the 586 is my gun, you know what I mean?

    Non-firearm weapons- who trains with their BODY?

    You're more likely to be in a fistfight than a gunfight. And you're more likely to be laid low by bad health or heart disease than either one. I used to box and kickbox, and had a couple mma style fights back in the 90's. Even got invited to compete at the Shidokan Open in '99. Studied several...

    Defensive gun training courses near Nashville, TN?

    https://www.rattlesnakeridge.org/index.html I used to go shoot with these guys when I was at Ft Campbell, and I took the CCW course from them back then too. Squared away guys.

    Harsh moments and our reactions.

    Agreed. I got this course for free from a local ER nurse.

    That's a lot of people who need to get out more, IMO.;)

    Record number of illegal immigrants tried to buy guns this year

    Am I reading this right? There are records on less than 20 million people in the NICS records? Nothing on the other 300 million folks in the US?

    bumpstock ban process

    "why isn't the NRA taking part in the lawsuits seeking to overturn it?" Because if your existence and livelihood is tied up in fighting an enemy, then you have a vested interest in that enemy's continued survival, that's why.

    Has anyone had an experience using "off site" gun storage?

    We don't guard schools and hospitals like we do a building full of guns, and another building full of liquor, lol.

    Has anyone had an experience using "off site" gun storage?

    The most heavily guarded businesses I have seen here since moving back to H-town are Collectors Firearms, and the Spec's downtown, lol.

    Has anyone had an experience using "off site" gun storage?

    Many years ago, before I joined the Army, I worked for Carter's Country in Houston TX. They offered gun storage and had a dedicated climate controlled room set aside for the purpose. There were some great collections stored there and some of my favorite days were when I would be sent to wipe...

    Trump: Take Guns Before Due Process

    We've been screwed over so many times, and backstabbed so often, why would we trust anyone? I agree that it's early to panic, though..... but I will keep a close eye on this.

    Trump: Take Guns Before Due Process

    I wondered (or maybe "hoped" is a better word) if it was something like that.... I really, really, REALLY hope you're right about that.

    In Light of the Recent Shootings....

    Maybe, but to me it seems more like he is pointing out that no one is coming to save you..... not fast enough to matter anyway. Better learn how to rescue yourself.

    This piece is actually a quote of a study by Ron Borsch, it was just on Greg Ellifritz's blog.

    Galco Walkabout?

    Okay so I just came across this review; https://revolverguy.com/galco-walkabout-j-frame-holster/ of this holster. I really like the concept, but according to the piece, it is somewhat lacking in the execution. I'm not too worried about that though, as there are plenty of leathermakers and kydex...

They don't keep the sheep safe from the wolves because it is the right thing to do. They keep the...

    In Light of the Recent Shootings....

    I'm going back and forth right now on whether I'm going to go to another pistol course this year, or go back and get another TCCC class. Pistol class is a lot more fun and I do have a birthday soon that I want to get myself a gift for, but I don't think anyone will argue that the medical skills...
