This is an important epilogue to the thread about christianity and its reaction to violence. I am a Buddhist and I endorse the Christian message of forgiveness and compassion. I am willing to forego further evidence and praise the older girls for putting themselves into harms way to save the...

does anyone here live near Thousand Oaks, CA? I'm looking for IPSC or IDPA matches in the area. I'd hate to drive 100 miles to Norco on a regular basis. Any help? thanx

picked up my Ruger 10/22 the day before Independence Day. Hooray! what should I do with it, tinkering wise?

I wanted to compare a SW99 with Springfield XD, but could not find the SW99 in Turners' outdoorsman. Did SW99 series die a quiet death? Or is the XD 45 outselling most now 'cause it's new and in fashion?

Otter attack! http://www.sptimes.com/News/050401/TampaBay/Unusual_otter_attack_.shtml And an older attack! http://www.keepandbeararms.com/information/XcIBViewItem.asp?ID=2289 These are nasty bloodthirsty killers. They come in low and fast. The objective is not to get bit by their rabid...

I'd love to have a legal form to hand to some smart-alek person who claims "offended" or "unnerved" in an attempt to butt into my affairs. In addition to telling them (subtlely) to buzz off, I'd also like to see them think about the consequences. Modeled on the liability waivers for parking...

Superficially the SA XD series look like glocks to me. I see they look plastic. I see the trigger safety(?). But I got my glock because I thought the XD cost more. So are the XD better than glocks, or am I comparing apples and oranges?

I'd like to ponder more on the use of CCW knives and handguns. And I didn't want to hijack the CCW knife thread. One school of thought suggests that their students should get a sizable folding knife, learn how to open it well, and use it to deter would-be robbers and rapists. Please note...

this is actually a spin off of disarming robbers. How deep would a knife have to cut the forearm to prevent a trigger pull? seems to me if my knife is at the ready (and concealed by my body), then I should modify the pistol disarm. Afterall, I'm stepping off axis, parying the gun hand...

Armor Holdings, Inc. Announces Exclusive License Agreement for New 'Flexible Armor' Technology Friday February 24, 7:30 am ET Will Be Applied to Body Armor and Other Personal Protective Products To make this more gun related: what bullet to defeat the enhanced armor fabric...

Just got a kydex holster for IPSC. My blackhawk has a finger-released catch. Keeps my mini glock safe and snug. It's a pleasure to operate. I'm definitely doing more draw and dry-fire practices.

I have a tanto Blur for two weeks now. I know, it's been available for a few years now. I'm writing this review because I found little reviews for it and because the knife made an impression on me. Part A below gives my observations of my black blade tanto tip Blur. Part B compares the Blur...

Dear Mr. March: I eagerly awaits the news expose showing the racial disparity in California CCW. Is this going to help your case? Hope to see light at the end of the tunnel before housing price displaces me out of CA. Sincerely, Ian Lee perpetual student and unemployed PhD. ;)...

Here's a couple questions that parallel the surprise invasion thread: 1. Hypothetically; if a nation or a well-financed terror group *can* mount a surprise attack on a US city, what are some realistic and achievable objectives? maybe public massacres, but how long will the invaders retain...

re: London Bombings The bombers (may they realize that the promised virgins are supposed to stay virgins so they aint getting any for eternity) did not stand out. They flew below the radar, so to speak. So no CCW citizen, peace officer, or vigilante will get the bombers before they blow up...

I'm thinking about all the indoor ranges, home defense settings, and kids' hearing needs. Discharging a firearm is just really hazardous to our hearing. Especially for the children (ahem). So how might I get a media spotlight on this safety equipment issue? I'd like to hear your suggestions.

Did anyone else see Nip/Tuck's season finale? A home-invader attempts to infiltrate your home then hide until you sleep. Which part of your defense plan will 1) detect and 2) neutralize the invader before you go to bed? I was thinking 1) multiple pets, door sensors, and locking...

woohoo! Yahoo news link I didn't know the voluntary muscles and involuntary muscles get stunned at differet frequencies. So the energy weapon really CAN set to stun or to kill like heart attack. Or set a broad microwave beam to put the hurt on someone. If I were I protestor and worry...

Aside from 1) police organizations natually want to maintain a monopoly on police powers, 2) no sane sheriff/police chief want to expose their department to liabilities if they give public approval for common citizen arrest, and 3) the burgler can sue for imprisonment and probably win What...

I'll vote for Badnarik, the Libertarian presidential candidate. and why not? The golden state is so solidly Dem-locked that voting Republican is throwing my vote away. I might as well try to send a message to the Republicans to take Libertarian issues seriously. dont you hate that most...
