In my history classes, I devote about 20 minutes to 1960s crime. My students are startled by the Kitty Genovese killing, but it leaves the women thinking about self protection. For anyone unfamiliar with Kitty (is there such a person?) she cried for help for nearly 45 minutes. Over 30 people...

The college where I teach offers the CCW course. I once asked the part time instructor who teaches the course (a police officer from UofA PD) if informing an officer when stopped was required in AZ. He said no, but it is a good idea (for the reason Nashmack points out). I don't have a CCW...

Being at the end of a felony stop is scary as hell. And I've only been there as a training subject when I was employed at a PD. This was before red resin guns, so the officers unloaded their real guns and we all inspected each others' weapon before the training. One rookie officer came late...

Agreed. I teach at a small college where I am the only one in my field (HIS/POS), and share a division with a police academy, psychology, anthro, soc and education. The police academy guy is very pro-rkba. The soc guy is a retired AF Major. They ed/psych ladies are all liberals. I thought...

At a more basic level, I'd add: Don't shoot holes in road signs. It leaves other motorists a bad impression of gun owners. Don't leave bullet holes ANYWHERE where they don't belong. The shooting range in my hometown had target stands about the size of a bulletin board, which was nice...

Pax- I absolutely LOVE it when my daughter outshoots me. And, I get frustrated when my wife doesn't do so well (which I think is the main reason she doesn't like to shoot). Back in HS and College, I introduced many female friends to firearms, and most outshot me after some instruction (I...

Support your local gun shop.. ? It all depends upon where you live. Small town Wal-Marts are generally great places to buy ammo and gun accessories. I've actually been sent to Wal-Mart FROM my local gun shop. They're doing just fine competing against WM. I live in a town of 10,000 in a...

iamkris's observation is consistent with what a police academy firearms instructor once told me. Since men usually ran around playing "cowboys and indians" or "cops and robbers" or "war" (you get the idea) we tend to have an instinctive "movement" in our habits when we pull the trigger. Since...

Pax and Herself, So how do I get my wife to think like you? She doesn't *hate* guns, and since she knows how to use mine, I fully believe she'd defend herself if needed. But I can't get her to go shooting with me and our daughter, and when she goes, she'll only shoot my revolver, if at...

Dang this looks familiar. My wife's sister is a police Sgt. We were visiting once when she was showing us her new home defence weapon (in her bathrobe even, but minus the ACOG). Picture your model about 20 years older and that's EXACTLY what I saw. Even she has no faith in 911. She KNOWS...

Dang! I feel sorry for all you guys. I have a great public range. Smack dab in the middle of it is a house that the city provides for one of their police officers. The constant police presence keeps the gangbanger wannabes from going to the range. My only complaint is that the range points...

Andy, you hit it right on the head. I suppose the reason the seller posted those pics is to show potential buyers just how worn the lands might be. Doc
