    More than meets the eye

    I've been taught the mantra, "speed equals life." Slow, stun and flee. Sharpie or hard pen to the eyeball or jabbed hard into the center of the armpit or groin to loosen a grip. Stab and rake deep to break a choke hold. Keys or cellphone corners hard to the eyeball, collarbone, temple or...

    No, I don't need it. I want it.

    I love the Beretta. It is beautiful. His automobile designs are iconic. I think his SImca coupe is wonderful; even now. You can see the similarity with the Neo. You cannot beat italian designers. Not my favorite country in the world but good gracious, the elegance of italian design is...

    Question On Drawing Down On Private Land

    I dunno. It's a bad situation and important that it not get worse. Probably should have asked the guy to go and called the sheriff or whomever if he didn't. Right then. But, we don't know if they know each other, if it is a small community, if they see each other, etc...A Hatfield-McCoy...

    Dick's Sporting Goods pulling hunting gear from 440 more locations

    I can say that I have never purchased a single thing at Dick's and by the time I was into shooting, they never had what I wanted. I'm that person who wonders how Target stays in business, though, so don't mind me. I do wonder what Dick's pa would think about all this. I also wonder if Dick is...

    5th Amendment and Duty to Inform

    Lots of good stuff in there ^^, boom boom. Worth the read. I initially posted something along the lines of Paco42's post but somehow messed up with an edit and deleted it. I am wont to do that, it seems. Anyway, Kleanbore called me on the part of it where I said that I couldn't know the laws...

    5th Amendment and Duty to Inform

    I dunno. Do what you wish? You are likely going to do that, anyway. I suspect that a great percentage of courage displayed online is reduced by a measurable degree in real life; when we see those lights turning. For us. Too much bravado from either side is a recipe for trouble. Gauge the...

    What Drives Your Decision To Carry Daily.

    In past, I believe that men felt responsible for themselves maybe more so or surely as much as, present day. They also felt responsible for their "womenfolk." It will be interesting to see, moving forward and now that women have expressed the great need for independence, whether the...

    why guns?

    I agree, Old Dog. We are blessed to live in a wonderful country. There is little doubt that times are changing but much blame for the negative in that change should be placed on our very selves. We left the barn door open and the horses bolted.

    why guns?

    Hey, MedWheeler. I think (Lord knows I am wrong so much of the time) that the author was kind of, maybe, perhaps using a bit from Aristotle, "Tyranny derives from the oligarchy’s mistrust of the people; hence they deprive them of arms, ill-treat the lower class, and keep them from residing in...

    why guns?

    I am sorry that so many of you are afraid of the police and don't trust them. I'll just bet they catch the scent of that fear and mistrust the very moment they get within breathing distance. Sort of like an alarm pheromone. What I find somewhat odd is that so many of you also have as friends...

    What Drives Your Decision To Carry Daily.

    I can't carry daily. If I could and when I do, I carry to add a layer of protection against the encroachment of evil. It makes me feel safer. Whether that is or proves to be true; remains to be seen. Heaven forbid. I've read that carrying a gun makes a person more careful. That might be...

    why guns?

    Well, since this thread is clearly headed towards a group hug in recognition of our overarching similarities, let me just say that I still think the article was all over the place and I do not want to read it again to see if I am right. All philosophical rambling aside, the common drift is...

    Not gun related per se - granddaughter wants a pocket knife

    I have a Boker mess kit knife from my Girl Scout days. It wasn't that big a deal for me but I wasn't really into knives. To my mind and experience, knives have always been a guy thing so I find your post interesting and somewhat sweet. I have no advice for you but I did want to wish you all...
