    FBI: Justifiable homicides at highest in more than a decade

    Looks even less like a spike here. That's some awfully funny reportin' they've got there.

    Is your home a castle?

    I live in an apartment now, but with two rather aggressive alarm dogs. I do have dreams of concrete walls and solid steel doors, though. Someday...

    Pengun ! Failed !

    When I saw the thread title I thought it said 'penguin.' :D I don't know anything about pen guns, but that thing sure is busted.

    Afraid of Recoil

    I don't think being startled is the same as being "afraid," but I cursed pretty loudly when I shot a friend's Airweight .357 Magnum. It was fun, but I don't think I'd want to do it a whole lot. And I was uncomfortable a couple of weeks ago in the next lane from someone shooting a snubby .44 Mag...

    NRA Magazines (duplicate threads merged)

    I don't know what you should get, but I got America's 1st Freedom because I'm more interested in legal and political issues than in the latest and greatest guns I can't afford. American Rifleman does apparently cover handguns as well as rifles and shotguns and other assorted gun-related stuff...

    Chris Knox treatise on 'Second Amendment fundamentalism'

    Good article, I like it. I fight my purist tendencies in a lot of areas, and there are definitely some things I won't compromise on, but it does seem like the incremental approach is more effective. Of course, when someone's trying to infringe on your rights they're often helped along by some...

    Women, stand up, and be counted!

    And someone's already asked for pics. :scrutiny:

    carry

    I think all the guys at my regular shop open carry. I find it kind of comforting.

    Some serious questions about carrying my Semi-Auto pistol

    Same with my Sig. It tended to ftf near the end of the mag, but occasionally before that. Replaced the mag spring and it's been flawless. Sharpshooter, if you could describe exactly what it's doing someone here might be able to help. It's definitely not normal for a gun to malfunction on a...

    Some serious questions about carrying my Semi-Auto pistol

    I carry a Sig P230, which is a DA/SA with no external safety, fully loaded. Not afraid at all that it's going to go off "accidentally" because it's in good working order and has internal safeties to prevent it from firing unless the double action trigger is pulled. With a holster that fully...

    UK:No barbed wire...it might hurt the thieves

    Better take those windows out. They might cut themselves on the glass. Yeah, leaving tools in a tool shed is just asking for trouble. :rolleyes: The UK has pretty well become a blueprint for how to screw up a decent country.

    Shtf

    Free trade would actually seem to reduce the likelihood of military conflict. If your economy depends on dealing peacefully with other countries through trade there's a greater incentive to not get into fights with them. But also, this has nothing to do with guns. You're just making the mods...

    Positive LEO Experience (Traffic Stop)

    You think someone who's about to "flip out" on a cop is going to tell you they're armed? It's the ones who don't have a permit (or can't get one due to criminal record, etc.) and don't bother to tell you they've got a gun that you should worry about. I guess cops could just frisk everyone they...

    Orlando Sentinel: 'Guns are everywhere,' Orlando police chief says

    Well, their War on Drugs hasn't done a thing but cost money. Let's all wait 30 years and see how their War on Guns goes. There can't possibly be a better way to solve this problem. :rolleyes:

    One in the Chamber

    If you're not willing to potentially cause a person's death in order to stop a threat to you or your family you shouldn't ever bring a gun into the situation. Learn some other means of self defense.

    One in the Chamber

    Guns are for protecting your life, not sending a message. Unlike in the movies, in real life you may only have one hand available in the few seconds you get to stop a life-threatening attack. You're already starting from a position of weakness because the attacker knows about the attack before...

    One in the Chamber

    What's the advantage of doing this? Just keep it loaded with JHPs with one in the chamber. There's no need to be chambering and unchambering all the time. I'd think there'd be more chance of an ND if you're doing all that. What does this mean? I could easily be mistaken, but are you playing...

    Physical problem = No gun for some

    Morally, very definitely no. Legally, it should be the property owner's decision who they choose to conduct business with. No one has a right to use, occupy, or purchase another person's property without their consent. The history of government-enforced discrimination in this country (which is...
