What kind of accidental discharge is the trigger safety on a Glock supposed to prevent? If it weren't there, what would have to be done to the gun, excluding pulling the trigger, to make it discharge?

Does anyone know if something has happened with Mas Ayoob? The only class listed on the schedule for 2010 is LFI-4. Used to be that by this time there would be some of the following year's classes. Sent an e-mail but havn't gotten any reply.

Are there any LFI students in the northern VA/DC area who would be interrested in getting together to train from time to time?

In the discussions about the value of Massad Ayoob's opinions, someone always mentions that he has no first hand knowledge. I don't believe that first hand knowledge is necessary to be able to know/teach about something, and, in fact, might be counter productive. For example, you could ask a...

Has anyone here who carries a 1911 or other pistol with a similar safety ever come home at the end of the day and found that the safety had been inadvertantly disengaged? Was it a normal safety or an ambidextrous safety?

I did Gabe Suarez' Interactive Gunfighting course and those little pellets really stung. Someone had brought a full auto model of some German assault rifle and we had a lot of fun with that. It occurred to me that applying that full auto airsoft to someone's face, especially if they had no...

We've all heard the joke about a family being attacked by a terrorist and the response based on being Democrat, Republican, Southern Democrat. The Democrat would hold focus groups, wonder if the guy was oppressed etc. The Republican response would be BANG! The Southern Democrat response would...

Attended Suarez International Interactive Gunfighting course this past weekend. Sight picture? What sight picture? Weaver? Chapman? Isocseles? Well, whatever stance you can maintain while at a dead run. Wouldn't this technique work better? Don't know; let's try it. When defending in...

I just found out that Art Leckie, a custom gunsmith from Pipersville, PA, PA, died about two weeks ago. He had been battling cancer since early December.

I was looking at an ammo manufacturer's balistic table for their 230 grain rn 45ACP round. When the gun is sighted for 100 yards, the bullet will be 4.x inches high at 25, 6.y inches high at 50, 4.z inches high at 75 and right on at 100. When the gun is sighted at shorter distances, the 100...

Child with gun kills 'playmate'.

On Friday, 7/16, The Second Amendment Sisters and New Jersey Coalition for Self Defense held a rally to counter the MMM's Pink RV which was originally listed on their web site to be in Trenton on the same day. Instead, they were hiding up in Newark. Our rally had about 60 people in attendance as...

Well, everyone, we're back from celebrating our country's independance and going into the summer season, which will include the beginnings of the race to sit in the Oval Office for the next four years. The person in that seat will be either Bush or Kerry. A lot is riding on this election. Since...

If you've graduated from any of Mas Ayoob's LFI courses, please send men an e-mail. I would like to get a group started for possible practice sessions.

OK, during one of the Alternative to Bush discussions (that project is finished - it was only for the primaries - the next POTUS will be either Bush or Kerry - vote accordingly), the wish that we could produce 200,000 shooters in a march on Washington was voiced. Fine! I'm commited to making...

For the last couple of days, I have been asking for input about possible alternatives to Bush, with the idea of posting a proposal on Tuesday. I just became aware that the last of the opportunities to do this starts on Monday and continues through the following Monday. Therefore, I will tally up...

Which Republican out there is the most strongly pro-gun of Republicans who you would rather see in the White House than Bush? It doesn't have to be anyone that has even the remotest chance of winning the election or even unseating Bush. I'm just looking to see if we can come up with the name of...

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but I understand that one of the contractors killed in Iraq this week was Scott Helvenson, a participant in the Combat Missions reality TV show.

Does anyone know of any shooter video games that use a gun like the old Nintendo Lethal Enforcers game?

The Brady Bunch website is claiming that flash suppressors and muzzle brakes (compensators) are the same. I know they are not, but am not sure of just what the flash suppressor does. The compensator directs the gasses up in order to provide a push down. This results in a concentration of hot...
