    Oops.

    :o :o :o :o :o The other day at work I went under the table for a dropped roll of masking tape and the gun decided to make an escape from the belly band and hit the floor. I'm not sure how it managed to work loose -- it sits deep in the pocket and I was wearing the smaller, more snug-fitting...

    Badly Delayed Range Report -- MPA Protector .380

    I meant to post this some time ago but it slipped my mind. I can't say that this gun turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Its no surprise that a tiny, pocket .380 is no joy to fire. In fact, after about 25 rounds I had to ice my hand -- about the same level of discomfort as shooting an...

    Carry Info for Holiday Travelers?

    Where can people traveling for the holidays get ACCURATE information about carrying in their destination states and the states which they pass through? I'll be driving through SC and staying in GA for the holidays (note to potential home invaders -- my home will NOT be empty during this...

    May Be a Stupid Question, but, ...

    My husband and I were talking holidays and presents for various family members while updating the list of guns/serial numbers that we keep in the safe deposit box. A few weeks ago a friend had asked if we wanted to go shares on one of those crates of Mosin-Nagants which are so inexpensive...

    Married Ladies, Do You Carry When Your Husband Doesn't?

    What with my DH having lower back trouble that makes putting a gun on his belt uncomfortable and having trouble with printing in his horizontal shoulder holster we've had several times lately when we've been out together that I was carrying and he was not. We've laughed about it but it got...

    Recommend Vertical Shoulder Holster for My Husband?

    My husband isn't happy with his horizontal shoulder holster. He's not wearing a suit jacket or sportscoat, just an overshirt and the concealment is simply inadequate. He can't carry his M&P9 in it at all and even my Taurus Slim prints behind his arm every time he reaches forward. None of the...

    Bellyband Thoughts?

    I love my new bellyband from Ace Case. Enough that I'm soon going to get a second one so that I'll have this white one in the size that fits my ribs and waist and a black one in the size that will fit my hips so that I can wear the full range of my preferred clothing -- mainly skirts and fitted...

    What Gun for Arming the Helpless? A Different Sort of Hypothetical

    I argue political, ethical, and moral issues on a site devoted to such things. Recently, I brought up the point that if people claim to want to empower the "oppressed" (meaning women, poor people, and minorities of assorted ethnic origins in the definition of debate opponent), and reduce crime...

    Concealing in Business Casual?

    DH has gotten the concealment of his S&W M&P 9 in his regular wardrobe down pretty well since he always has liked to wear a t-shirt or turtleneck (depending on weather), under an open shirt. But today he has a rare business lunch with a client in a "business casual", cool-weather situation...

    Scopes?

    I'm thinking that if I can lose 30lbs I will treat my self to a scope for the Mark III. I know next to nothing about handgun scopes. Where can I find some "Handgun Scopes 101" info without getting confused by manufacturers' spin that their scope is the greatest ever. I'm just looking to...

    Question about Door Alarms

    We're improving the security of our home and I have a question about those little door/window alarms that are supposed to go off when a door is opened. Do they have a means by which a person who comes home late after the household is in bed can turn them off before they sound?

    What Handgun for Very Large Hands?

    My 17yo DS#1 (who is 6'3" and still growing), admitted tonight that the reason he hasn't been very enthusiastic about the handguns is that his hands are so big that holding and firing the guns we have is uncomfortable because he has to crank his fingers around strangely to reach the trigger, the...

    DD's Dream Gun Finally Found!

    After 3 months of hunting through multiple gun shops and online, ... We walked into the gun shop to get some match ammo for tomorrow and Ed, the owner ( http://www.edsgunshop.com/ ), said, "Did you get my message?". I said, "No, did something for DD come in?" He said, "Its not very...

    Why Can't I Shoot DH's M&P?

    Take a look at these targets and see if you can help me figure out why I can't seem to shoot DH's M&P. First, a 7 yard target with .22 from my Mark III and a few shots of .38 special +P from a borrowed S&W snubbie: Next, a 7 yard target with 9mm from a rented Beretta 92 and a rented...

    Mothers, Do it for Your Children

    Responsible mothers should seriously consider arming themselves for the sake of their children. Not all monsters live on Sesame Street. That phrase crystallized itself this morning after seeing yet more headlines about kids being assaulted and/or killed.

    Ruger Mark III Sights Adjustment?

    The manual doesn't say which way to turn the screws to do what. Does clockwise on the side screw go right or left? Does clockwise on the top screw go up or down?

    Compact M&P or ???

    Now that DH has his carry permit and has started actually carrying he is finding that the gun butt of the full-size M&P prints through his lightweight, summer cover shirt no matter where he puts his IWB holster or how he adjusts the cant. So he's starting to think that, as much as he loves...

    Gun Carry and Messy Jobs?

    OK, DH and I got our permits yesterday and he's wearing his gun around today. He's painting in the current project room and I hear him calling. He wants to take a shower but has wet paint on his hands and needs me to take his gun so that he can get undressed without getting paint on it. So...

    Lady New to Rifles Looking for Some Rifles 101 Information

    Even though a .22 rifle was the first gun I ever shot 20-some years ago, almost all my gun and shooting training and experience is with handguns. We've decided that the household needs a 3rd .22 rifle to go with DH's old Marlin and the 8yo's Crickett. Since this will be for the use of the ladies...
