I like the concept of carrying a backup gun. There are many benefits too numerous to list. The Glock is my first choice. Just a personal preference and that's what I train mostly with. So the Glock 17 is my primary. OK, I don't have any other Glocks. I do have two 1911s, a Springfield...

I'm going through executive protection courses now and am new to it. I know some bodyguards carry multiple handguns. The Living With Glock author, Robert Boatman, carries 4 -- all Glocks. I know one guy carrying two, both 1911s. It makes sense in that you need a backup and a backup to a...

This is a hypothetical question assuming you have the following assumptions: 1. You don't have much money (maybe only $5,000), no assets 2. You have a car 3. You don't have many marketable skills, maybe too middle-aged for new skills 4. You're by yourself, no family 5. You have a lot of...

Anybody know? I have HKS mag speedloaders for my other guns but notice there isn't a model for the Taurus P140. Or, does anybody know which one I can buy for which the P140 will fit? Thanks.

Anybody know of a firearms home defense consultation service? Where consultant goes to your home for a couple hours, evaluates the layout, gives home defense consultation, does role-playing with homeowner(s). How much is a fair price for that? I don't see it advertised much. Do you think...

OK, I've given up on advertising in the mass media for private gun lessons/firearms instruction. First of all, I don't get many calls. Now, officially, I've gotten more perverted calls than not. You'd think I was running some kind of sex business or something, and that kind of business...

Here's a little something for those who think security doesn't pay much. It needs 1 - 2 years experience. Here's a link to a job: http://jobsearch.monster.com/getjob.asp?JobID=40670807&AVSDM=2006%2D03%2D13+14%3A19%3A30&Logo=1&pg=2&sort=dt&cy=us&q=iraq&refine=1 Blackwater wants some...

In my quest to try gun instruction as a business venture, I found out that some papers have a policy not to allow any kind of firearms advertisement. I've approached a couple about something as innocuous and community-oriented like teaching gun safety. On the other hand, these same magazines...

Interesting. Check it out: http://womenandguns.com/home/viewforum.php?f=1 That's the url for the online forum for a gun site geared toward women. It looks like their site is fairly intact: http://womenandguns.com/

I'm trying this gun instruction business as an experiment. Man! --- I've been in a several startup businesses in my time and I've been successful in other ventures in "making that phone ring", but this one is a tough one to advertise. I'm trying to reach out to newbies -- beginners and...

I'm seriously considering being an instructor, giving private lessons as a side business. I've taken the NRA certified instructor course and am waiting for my official cert, and I've had tons of experience starting from when I was in the military a long time ago and have some experience...

I'm asking in general. I'm always looking to add to my collection, for an assortment of different guns. For used guns, I check out online boards, some auction sites and local gunstores. I'm amazed. I'm regularly seeing used guns that are about 90 - 95% condition being priced the same as...

I'm recently in a long-barrel handgun kick to add to my collection. Just want to target shoot them with iron sights and no scope. I've just bought a Ruger Single Six single-action revolver that has a 9.5" barrel. Now, I'm looking around for a Ruger Mark II Target with a 10" barrel (I have a...

Sorry if this sounds like an outrageous question but this newbie needs to know. I'd like to do this USPSA thing and it sounds like Production class is the best starting point. However, because of my poor eyesight, I need a red dot sight to shoot straight. (It's a long story: I'm...

I created a post a month ago asking for ideas for a gun-related business and another for a gun-related job, and got a lot of good replies. I'm seriously considering a business providing gun instruction. My question now is: Is it difficult, or easy, becoming a gun instructor? Can I just...

Supposedly, if you want a hunting license, you have the option to take an Internet course, per the California Dept of Fish and Game, at http://hunter-ed.com/ca/ca_internet.htm. The advertised idea is supposed to be a time-saver, in which you take the Internet course and after paying $15...

I read in an informational site that vendors will find you when you get your C&R license and you will be come a "nightmare for your mailman". Is this true? Is there a way to get a license and not get the junk mail?

As I mentioned in the other post, I'm going through mid-life crisis and have decided I really like guns and wish to do some work involving guns. The other post was about gun-related jobs. This one is suggestions for gun-related businesses to start. I've been successful starting businesses...

I guess I'm going through mid-life crisis and have decided I really like guns and wish to do some work involving guns. I'm also an entrepreneur, so I'll create another post with the same question regarding gun-related businesses, but this post is about jobs. OK, what are good jobs? By good...
