    Something Kind of Neat...

    There ! By golly, someone finally made a gun powerful enough for going to church, shopping for lingerie, safeguarding school crossing zones , and trick-or-treating !!

    Gun Show Regulations (?)

    I know Lautenberg has always been a fanatic . Thanks for the info !

    Gun Show Regulations (?)

    Was in discussion (elsewhere) this week, and a poster claimed there was still a "gun show loophole" , which the NRA approved of, and which Sen Lautenberg disapproved of and wanted to close. My impression is any "loopholes" have long since been closed, and gun shows are attended by almost as...

    Is hollow point less likely to penetrate body armor?

    NJ Laws xxplosive, I used to feel the same way about our restrictive gun laws, until the day I took a good look around me---and saw how damned congested we are ! There are few places in our state ( I live in one) where a shot fired-for any reason - is not in danger of hitting an unintended...

    Fear Mongering and Marketing Strategy

    Steel Horse Rider, you sound pretty typical of the OMG crowd.

    Has this Obama/Pelosi ammo market turned you from a shooter to an ammo hoarder?

    But---but---Vito : suppose the Zombies decide to attack - backed up by US troops in blue helmets ? What will you do when the (Shudder !) black helicopters show up ??

    Fear Mongering and Marketing Strategy

    I think Vito hit the nail on the head -but, then again, we're similar in age. (might wish otherwise ...) I've asked people why they are hoarding ammo - and have been told-rather primly-they are "stockpiling" it. ( Oh.) I've wondered if much of this "Armageddon-ite" crap is being...

    .44 Special "Frontal Area" vs .45 ACP

    At the risk of ticking off quite a few contributors to this thread------ 1. If you're going to bring up meplat, please don't compare apples and oranges ! (Compare a "flatpoint" .44 with a "flatpoint" .45 ---not a round nose .45 with a flatpoint .44 !) 2. Please be advised you do NOT need...

    What's it good for ?

    I remember the big play the .22 Jet got in the gun magazines , when it was introduced. (Depending on how much ad space was purchased, magazines would make almost any new firearm sound like the discovery of gold...in YOUR back yard ! ) I think one of the big name writers shot an unsuspecting...

    Ex cop/currently works in morgue

    I don't know if original story was true or made-up, but the following: "I've read that whole series of posts at least three times now, and while it's a really good read and well written, I'm still comfortable carrying .380 auto, 9x19, and .38 special. Doesn't mean I don't carry .45 acp or...

    Got a new shootin arm in the house

    Have you considered the "legal implications" of killing one of the gun's safety mechanisms ? (EG: Some untutored soul picks up your pistol without permission and promptly ventilates a passerby, thinking the gun unloaded.)

    Would you take a gun?

    The very fact you're pausing to ask suggests you have acquired some real wisdom along the way !

    As You Walk Out The Door: What gun goes with you today?

    Let's see: there's a pair of .50 S&Ws in shoulder holsters,a .45 Colt ACP on my right hip, and a Glock 10MM on my left. I have hideout guns in ankle holsters -usually a pair of .22 Derringers; and the usual tactical blades. I am, of course, pulling a camoflauged mortar emplacement-disguised...

    Carrying a Pistol Perceived as Antisocial?

    Carrying a pistol might be considered "anti-social" . You think ?? I'd say-if you were in the woods, or on the trail-or were working a job where you had to carry, you'd be considered pretty normal.

    The hydrostatic shock theory?

    "hydrostatic and shock are dichotomous" I seed a Dichotomous t' other day : 'T'was 'bout like one of them Alabama squirrels- so I turned the hose on (for hydro power) an' shocked it purt bad. "T'was downright anamorphic when I finished.

    So you are stopped while LAWFULLY carrying

    Back in the day, I was pulled over/ approached many times while lawfully carrying. (This is very much apt to happen when you are a non-leo , who is on surveillance; and to me it was always an indicator the police were "on the ball".) Being aware this was likely to happen, I always kept...

    AR-15 home defense ammo

    It crosses my mind folks who worry about which type of rifle ammo to use on other people probably worry about whether two guns (and a tactical knife) are enough to carry when visiting the mall (that back-to-school crowd can be tough !) and/or what hideout gun would be best for attending...
