Here's a story on the national news. A man credited his two Labrador Retrievers for saving his life the other day. Tha man is diabetic and he went into insulin shock and fell to the ground unconscious when he was taking his dogs for a walk through a field. Where he fell the tall grass hid...

On the news this morning a man heard his wife screaming in the back yard. He lives out closer to the foothills so there is sometimes wildlife running around. Not knowing what to expect he grabs his sidearm and runs out to see a ..mountain lion! Just for a sec..put yourself in his place...

I noticed several threads where the people posting responses that when the situation went south at their home they went to go get their firearm of choice to confront the person or persons who tried to enter their house uninvited. I wonder that some of us feel that we need to carry a weapon...

A similar thread was posted but I wanted to know from some of you folks that experience a "gut feeling" before a potential self-defense situation happens 1) what feeling is your alarm? and 2)have you listened to that warning feeling? and 3) what situation happened? Do you think that your...

:what: Sorry folks, I had forgotten about finishing the story on a previous post that I had made about what weapon(s) would you grab on your way out if you were forced out of your house? So where I left off, some BGs had set the front of your house on fire with Molatovs and were randomly...

This scenario is based on a a real life.. and death situation that happened to a friend. Just like to hear your opinion and input. Let us say that you just got home from work. Your SO is in the living room waiting for you to shower and change so that you can out out to dinner. You put your...

Down here in soCal, all we get to hear about grizzlies is how truly efficient they are in stalking humans and how really nasty it could be to encounter a sow with her babies. So (here's the gun relationship) I see that some folks up in Alaska sometimes carry rifles up there when they're out...

The other day I picked up my new purchase (Para-Ord CCO) and on Saturday my wife and I were out and about and on the spur of the moment I decided that I needed to check out accesories for my new toy.. somehow at that time my car was about 6 blocks from Turner's off of the 605 freeway. My car...

Okay, you live in a place where they no longer allow carrying or poessessing a firearm. (I know, it is only a scenario, but I'd really like to know..) If you couldn't have a firearm to protect your home, what would be your choice of a non-firearm weapon to defend your home and family...

Looking for your opinion in this scenario...also what choice would you make? You can shoot your primary weapon and your backup sweapon almost equally well up to 50 feet. Situation calls for you to hand a weapon to your SO to watch your back and to help fend off all boarders. Let's say you're...

Aloha you all, Got told the other day by my supervisor that " several people" (co-workers) reported that I was visiting gun related subjects on the internet. He had the IT guys check my "hits" on the THR site...according to them I had over 4000 on this site. I gave him my old user...

My nephew stopped late night the other night to pump gas. He is a Deputy Sheriff and he was standing outside his black SUV putting gas in when he heard a loud boom. He didn't know where this loud bang sound was, so he ducked to try to locate the source of the noise. He scanned any visible...

Last week I was at the indoor range. It is my 9/80 Friday so I more or less had the range to myself when a young man in a dark trench coat came in with a briefcase in hand. Radar antenna came up. I have a tendency in a previous experience at the range to have a spare gun in a OWB. I go to...

THR members, I'd like to glean your brain for information. Sort of what not to do information... Years past I packed a Beretta Tomcat as an always gun in my pocket...have moved up to a PM9. I tried to keep my right hand front pocket as a dedicated pocket (Used only as a pocket...

Ok folks...looking for possible reaction to this scenario. You're at a shopping mall with the SO and kid. You are at a place where you can sit and watch the goings on of the people in the mall while your SO and kid go shopping. They walked down one wing and the mall is big enough that you...

THR members, I am getting that old itch to get another .45 but I want to try a DAO in compact. I see that H&K has a LEM trigger in compact .45, Para-Ordinance has a few in DAO...anybody else that you guys can recommend? I'd like to hear your suggestions and why you recommend or...

Howdy THR folks, It seems that just about everyone in this continental U.S. is presentally feeling the Heat Wave. Now that everyone is really feeling the heat, what would be your CCW of choice in this heat? Plastic or steel, or any combination thereof. ..and what would it be...

I used to go out shooting in the Angeles Crest Forest in the old days and I recall some guns in the really hot weather.. borderline near the desert. Some of the days got really hot when we out there and some guns got really hot to the touch if left exposed to the sun. So hot that sometimes you...

Sorry for the rant.. Happy Fourth of July to you all, I hope that all of you had a relatively safe one. (Now the rant): Because of the fire hazards to homes, I usually stay home on holidays that my neighbors fire up the barbecue then they start using all kinds of fireworks. I have been...

Ready on the right wrote on another thread, which is your most trusted gun? (Which one goes bang all the time?) I would like to know from the folks on THR, which guns that you've had that didn't go bang all the time? At least enough failures to cause you to not trust your gun 100%? I had...
