    Homicide Rates Around the World

    But it's not really about making our cities or our Country safer, is it?

    Gun ownership (and attitudes about guns) in America

    The current threat is not to gun ownership, but to the types of guns we are allowed to own (for the sake of public safety). A lot of gun owners fall into the category of "I support the Second Amendment but...". I was that guy at one time. I believed that nobody "needs" an AR or AK. Then it...

    NM governor "suspends" open & concealed carry of firearms in Albuquerque

    She has defended her decision by saying that "No constitutional right, in my view, including my oath, is intended to be absolute". I wonder how many other government officials share her position.

    I'd be more interested in what he has in his pantry.

    Who was your biggest influence in the firearms/shooting world?

    My dad was an avid hunter and introduced me to the basics. After a long hiatus from recfreational shooting, Masaad Ayoob and, later, Paul Hafrrell picked up where my dad left off.

    What the Militia is all about...

    If you're referring to the move "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" it was Óró sé do bheatha abhaile. Good movie, good song.

    My Issue With A Carry Gun

    If you can handle the sound of a 22LR (with proper protection), my suggestion would be to find a 22LR handgun that is as close as possible to the size and weight of a SD caliber pilstol (9mm, 380, 38spl, etc). Train with the 22 and carry the larger caliber. Your life (or the life of a loved...

    Antigunners are losing their minds over terminology

    Overthrowing tyrants is not the only reason we have a natural (or God given) right to keep and bear arms. Life (and the defense of life) is an inalienable right granted humanity by our Creator.

    Constitutional Carry Is It A Good Idea?

    From District of Columbia v. Heller: The Supreme Court held: (1) The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.

    Constitutional Carry Is It A Good Idea?

    So your belief is that we as gun owners should have the right to carry, but not exercise that right. There is a saying "a right not exercised is a right soon lost" Massad Ayoob's first Commandment of concealed carry is "If you carry, always carry. The tool does no good if it is sitting at...

    Is Armed Your Default Setting?

    I carry by default wherever it is legal to do so. I am a substitute teacher a couple days a week and have to leave it at home on those days. I am nearly 70 and lived most of my life without carrying, despite once being robbed at gunpoint (Happened so fast a CCW would not have made a...

    The best for EDC revolver ever?

    The best is the one in your hand when (God forbid) you need it. I sometimes carry a Ruger LCR in 38+P. I'm sure there are better options, but I'm comfortable with what I have. I am able to shoot it well and it is easily concealed either in a pocket holster or OWB depending on how I have to dress.

    BREAKING: Worth v. Harrington (D. MN): Judge strikes down Minnesota's under-21 carry ban

    I understand your concerns, but I don't believe we should let public opinion dictate what rights we are willing to forgo.

    Best of the 9mm micros

    You may want to consider the Max 9 instead of the EC9. Better sights (tritium front sight), higher capacity (10 and 12 round magazines included) and nearly the same size. Traded my EC9 for the Max 9. Haven't been to the range yet but expect it will shoot as well as my EC9 did.

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Traded in my Ruger EC9S for a Max 9. The Max 9 has higher capacity (10 vs 7) and better sights (Tritium front sight) in essentially the same size gun. Bonus was that holsters I used with the EC9S fit the Max 9.

    Is it good that Clarence Thomas is authoring the opinion in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assoc?

    It should be noted that the Supreme Court can only interpret the Constitution as it applies to Cases and Controversies. It is not within their power to issue interpretations in the absence of a dispute.

    If You Only had 3

    To simplify, I will limit the choices to guns I already own. 12 Ga Remington 1100 - It fits me well and I can hit what I'm shooting at and there are many ammo choices Also, sentimental reason as it was given to me by my dad. 9 mm Ruger EC9s - Can be CC'd in virtually any circumstance 5.56 mm...
