    Fanny pack holster for full size semi auto pistols

    I suggest that you add a sew on patch with a camera ID logo. Just for fun I had my wife sew on a large "Canon" patch on mine. Now it looks like a small camera bag instead of a large gun carrier. I can carry Ruger P95 or a Ruger Blackhawk .357 with no problem. I bought the gray instead of black...

    Your not carrying now are you???

    It's usually a fudd, hoplophobe, anti, or a prohibited individual whether by a nanny or by a nanny state who argues against being armed to be prepared. I am armed whenever possible, and that means that I am constantly armed. Since home invasions usually occur in homes, especially nice homes...

    Your not carrying now are you???

    Since I am not clairvoyant, it most certainly IS a necessity.

    Best/worst Gun AUTHORS (of fiction)

    Exact same experience and reaction as I had. Once an author blows details and expresses opinions like that (even by proxy) I don't go on. Offhand I can't remember more of these errors, butI have run across many, and when I do, it ruins the book for me.

    Private sales at night

    I sold several firearms when i lived in Miami, and instead of the police station parking lot I used the PD lobby. It works well day or night. Just clear it with them first. If your buyer balks, then you have your answer.

    22 WMR rifles obsolete..?

    I started with a Ruger SS convertible 22lr/22 magnum many years ago. A few years ago i bought an NAA 1 5/8 bbl convertible 22lr/22 magnum. I started looking around at 22 mag rifles last year and lo and behold I found a Ruger 96/22 mag lever NIB at a low price and snapped it up. I really like the...

    The value of just walking away

    I think the problem lies in the fact that in some cases, impossible to predict, any reasonable request could trigger an unreasonable response in an unstable individual. Situational awareness should be your constant companion, especially when armed.

    The value of just walking away

    I think that the missing point here is that the offender has already PROVEN himself to be a boor, rude, and a problem, which indicates either poor judgement or deliberate provocation. I don't know about the rest of you, but I maintain that the High Road leads only one way here, and that is away...

    The value of just walking away

    As I said, it's a matter of scale. These are simple value judgements if you allow your rational brain to control the situation. If you very politely request softer music or whatever and find yourself being attacked by a weapon wielding nut as a result you would then have to escalate and defend...

    The value of just walking away

    Quote: Would you really risk a violent confrontation over a few minutes of irritation? In some of the circumstances that have been mentioned, I don't feel you're running the risk of violent confrontation. *Person passes too close to your personal bubble, probably means one of two things...

    The value of just walking away

    It's simply a matter of scale. Would you really risk a violent confrontation over a few minutes of irritation? It has always been my policy to avoid and retreat to the point that an agressor tries to bring it to me. Situational awareness will always be your friend if you just let it speak to...

    Steel plate target warning.

    I angle the heavy plate downward and add a thin (1/16) plate vertically and mount my target to it. The bullet will penetrate the light plate, strike the heavy plate and be deflected downward. If for some reason the bullet tries to come back it will hit the inside of the light plate and stop or...

    Do you have any need for a shotgun or is the carbine superior in your mind?

    As others have said, the shotgun has some disadvantages, but for in the house close range it trumps my mini 14. I use my 870 HD 12 ga. as a camp gun (not hunting camp) for last ditch bear defense. I keep it stoked with slugs for that purpose, and at home I keep 00 buck for sd. I will probably...

    City of Chicago asks on twitter "HOW DO WE GET ILLEGAL GUNS OFF CHICAGO STREETS?"

    Illegal??? Deport 'em. (guns to KY that is.

    Safety in private FTF gun purchases

    It really comes down to common sense. If I am going to meet someone to purchase an item advertised on a local classifieds site I will ask "Where do you live?" Can we meet where you work? Let's meet at the Nowhere KY police station parking lot. I try to get a grip on the seller, and will often...

    Safety in private FTF gun purchases

    Why FFL? The main reason for FTF is to have a 4473 free transaction. I sold a gun collection many years ago one by one in the LOBBY of the Miami Metro/Dade County LE AREA headquarters. They were glad to do it. Here in KY I use the local PD parking lot, but never my home when selling. Everyone...

    I think my home possibly got probed for burglary or a home invasion...

    When someone interrupts me at home by phone or knock on the door they are trying to satisfy THEIR agenda, not mine. I am always abrupt with DTD if I answer at all and always let caller ID monitor my phone. My problem is that I live in a remote area in a rural county, and I am the last one on...

    New Ruger Blackhawk .357 Mag. I need some help with the second cylinder.

    One word of caution on the 9mm cylinder. If the scratched on numbers match, you are good to go with a true convertible. If the numbers do not match, then it is not a factory convertible, and while the cylinder may fit and turn properly, the timing MUST be checked before firing 9mm. They usually...

    Is this bad behavior in a gun shop

    I would hold off on the extra mags and look for free shipping. Many of the online suppliers have free shipping weekends or somesuch. I always try to scout out the free shipping, and will often increase an order to get it.

    What are the feared "Future Restrictions" driving up gun sales?

    If it has been posted, perhaps I missed it, but Nobama did manage to install 2 radical antis to the SCOTUS, perhaps the most potent threat to ALL of our rights, not just the 2nd. JUST 1 MORE and they have us.
