    Armed Commercial Security Guards?

    I've always wondered, so now I'm asking. I see armed security guards and armored truck drivers and always wonder what happens if they shoot someone. Are they held personally responsible? Would it be the same as one of us with a CHL shooting someone? Does the company take responsibility for it...

    What can you guys tell me about this old shotgun of my grandfather's?

    After my grandpa died a couple years back my aunt's (grandfathers daughter) husband was already taking a few guns home a few hours after he was pronounced dead. I couldn't believe how disrespectful this was, and I let him know it. Anyway, he still got a few of the guns, as did my brother and...

    Anyone heard of an SWG Incorporated Mac 11?

    I found a Mac 11 that says SWG incorporated on it. I don't know much about Mac 11's but they look to be pretty fun. This one is chambered in 9mm and the guy says he has a screw on pistol grip for the forend and a screw on flash suppressor. I can't find any info on these guns. Are they reliable...

    Which IWB for my Springfield Loaded with CT Lasergrips?

    My girlfriend bought me a Springfield Loaded for Christmas and it has CT Lasergrips on it. I'm not sure if they'll effect the way it sits in an IWB holster. I also need some recommendations as to which ones I should consider. I currently carry a Sig P220 in a Comp-Tac CTAC and I'm pretty happy...

    Anyone else watch Law & Order? Identify the guns...

    I don't watch much TV but I'll admit I'm a Law & Order junkie. I'm not very into Criminal Intent but the original and SVU are awesome IMO. Anyone else here enjoy the show? Anyone not like the show? Why? To keep this gun related, I was watching the marathon on TNT tonight and curious to know...

    Good day at the range today

    Jenny and I went to the range this evening to unload a box of .38 Special through the S&W Model 19. Christmas has me extremely low on funds so I can't afford any ammo right now and I had em laying around. Jenny's also been thinking about gettin an Airweight so I wanted her to get a feel for the...

    Recommend some low-cost high-value ear protection, maybe electronic?

    My girlfriend and I are looking into some decent hearing protection, right now we use only plugs. I have no clue where to start, what to look for, what I should be paying, etc. I shoot quite a bit so maybe investing in a pair or two of the electronic kind would be worth the extra $$$? I don't...

    A few noobie 1911 questions...

    I know someday I will own a 1911, and that day is more than likely coming up soon. As I'm shopping around and looking for "the one" or maybe "the ones" I want, I'm asking a few questions I know are simple but I can't seem to find the answers for. 1) What are the different "levels" of 1911's...

    Which of these two 1911's would you get?

    I'm having a real hard time deciding which 1911 I want to purchase for my first one. As some of you read in a previous post, my awesome girlfriend is buying me a gun for Christmas. I *think* I've narrowed it down to two models: the Sig GSR Revolution with a Nitron finish and no tactical rail...

    1911 vs P220 reliability, concealability?

    My GF's buyin me a new $600-$700 gun for Christmas and I'm still deciding what to get. I currently carry a P220 .45 but I'm thinking of purchasing a 1911 cause I shoot my buddies so well. I'm looking at either Para LDA's or a Springfield Loaded. Since I'd be carrying this new gun I'm concerned...

    GF's buyin me a gun for Christmas! What would you ask for?

    My girlfriend has been asking me since the first of December, since I bought her a Prada purse for her Christmas gift, what I want for Christmas. Flame me all you want but I love designer clothes and leather goods, so she was going to buy me either a Prada laptop bag, a Prada belt, or a Brooks...

    Girlfriend wants to get CHL!! Please suggest some guns and carry rigs...

    I had a small victory today, my girlfriend said she'd like to get her CHL! This might not be that big to some people, but this girl almost cried when she saw the P220 at 5 o'clock when I bent over the first time we hung out (I was in my room and I thought she'd already seen it and didn't care)...

    Best way to carry a Kel-Tec P3AT? Also, recommend a new carry gun...

    Right now I carry my P3AT in my front right pocket without one in the chamber. I just put it in my pocket and go. I'd like to be able to carry it with one in the chamber and not worry about printing as bad as I do now. It's also not very tactical having to pay attention to which direction the...

    Spoke with a couple officers today, thinking of joining the Portland Police Dept...

    Tonight my truck's alternator went out during rush hour traffic on a busy local road. Right behind me was a cruiser and the two officers pulled over to help out. We had a great conversation during the 30 minute wait for the tow truck. I told them of my CHL and they began questioning me about...

    Local political message board layout feedback?

    All you guys use THR alot so I'm sure you're familiar with message board structure. I'm creating a site for Oregon politics and I need some ideas on how to organize the categories and the forums within them. I'd like them to be as neat and compact as possible but as specific as they need to be...

    Common Sense and CHL's?

    I've been thinking alot about the lack of common sense in our society today and although alot of us pro-gun people don't like to budge much and/or reflect on our own ideals. I'm still strongly against the gov. having any records on gun owners and such, but I'm starting to see thinks differently...

    Legality of shooting someone in someone elses home? (friend/girlfriend/relative)

    I've been staying at my girls house every night for the past month or so, we live in Oregon. I was thinking about this yesterday and resolved that I had no idea the answer. If someone broke in while I was staying there and I shot them, what would happen to me since it's not my residence? Would...
