    How fast can you make a shoot/no shoot decision?

    Many thanks to Jeff White for posting this. It most certainly does apply to armed citizens. A security camera could have captured an armed citizen in just such a situation, in which the offender dropped the gun faster than the defender could possibly observe and process this unexpected change...

    Case of judged by 12 than carried by 6: Woman in NYC shooting

    Info is scarce, but... The reports say she moved to NYC RECENTLY, and that the man she was forced to shoot was her ex-boyfriend. This indicates a distinct possibility that she fled to NYC to escape from him. This would in turn indicate foreknowledge of threats, his criminal record, and a...

    Has anyone seen the new 4" EMP bobtail yet in person?

    Shot one at the SHOT Show media day. Very sweet. Great shooter, exquisite balance.

    Evolution of the S&W Model 39

    Devonai, the ProArms Gun Shop in Live Oak, FL has a holster-worn but mechanically perfect 3904 in their used gun case for $325. Don't recall if it had rounded guard and Novak sights or not. Their phone number is 386 364 GUNS.

    Untrained gun users ineffective at self-defence, US study finds - apparently not....

    Kleanbore and Jeff are telling you straight. Some folks don't realize just who the "peers" in "peer review" encompass. The courts looks strongly, under the Daubert standard, at what principles are accepted and widely used IN THE FIELD, not just treatises in scientific journals. The...

    In order, it's teaching, writing, expert witness work, but you were close.

    Writers of firearms topics monthly columns

    DPris' answer to Cheygriz's question nailed it. In addition, I for one rarely write up new rounds; my review assignments are mostly for new guns. However, there are lots of gelatin tests available at ammo manufacturers' sites, and various private sites on the Internet.

    Fair enough, Hangingrock. As you've noticed most of us do follow similar protocols test to test. We're looking for the same things (accuracy, reliability, handling, etc.) gun to gun. Cordially, Mas

    Writers of firearms topics monthly columns

    1Kperday, best way to get started is to send the editor of the magazine you want a "query letter," in which you outline your idea for the given article and explain why you feel it will fit their publication. If you catch their interest, they'll probably assign you to write it "on speculation,"...

    Gosh, Hangingrock, that description sounds vaguely...familiar. :D But, seriously, tell me what you'd like to see different in a gun test. The bench rest accuracy tests (5 shot groups, 25 yards) are pretty much standard in the industry, and give consistency of comparison with competing...

    Guns of Every Day Carry Czech Republic

    A question for the original poster, and others with knowledge: does the Czech Republic have any provision for visiting Americans to carry concealed in public?

    Deactivated Safety Legal Troubles?

    It is good to see so much logical, thoughtful commentary here, on a topic that has often gone astray elsewhere. Just a few comments: In a criminal case (and remember, the case Mark Seiden defended where this matter came up was a criminal charge of Manslaughter) negligence can support a...

    Stand Your Ground Law debate points...

    SSN vet, good luck to your daughter on her debate. I suggest she Google Cato Institute, the libertarian think tank in DC. I believe their website still has, downloadable, the April 2012 Stand Your Ground Debate. It includes Cato's Tim Lynch giving an introduction succinctly outlining the...

    In The Gravest Extreme finally updated!

    Personally, I see it as more of an update and a supplement than a rewrite.

    Best Handgun School near St. Louis?

    Google "Chapman Academy" in Hallsville, MO. About halfway between Kansas City and St. Louis as I recall, and back up and running under the supervision of one of Ray Chapman's hand-picked staff members.

    Cost of 8-day self-defense case: $332,000

    Gun_With_A_View, you're certainly entitled to your opinion, like everyone else. However, informed opinions outweigh uninformed opinions. The jury had a well-informed opinion. They spent several days listening to both sides, and seeing all the evidence and hearing all the testimony. They...
