    How can anyone be expected to win a self-defense case?

    I just read the Armed Citizen's Network article "Defending a Disparity of Force Shooting" that was posted by LPL on another thread. After reading it, my first thought is "how would someone like ME ever be able to win a court case after a justifiable self-defense incident"? The guy in the...

    Impulse buy - Kel Tec PF9

    So my friend bought a Kel Tec PF9 today....and I'm not sure what happened but I walked out of the gun shop with one too. :eek: I had recently been looking for something small for summer carry, and lets just say, my willpower isn't that strong :o This is the first gun-related purchase I have...

    Shooting left

    I realize there are a million other threads similar to this, but I am hoping that I can get more feedback specific to me if I post a new thread. I have been shooting for ~2 years now, mostly pistols. I own a G19 and a Springfield Xd(m), and love both of them. Unfortunately, after two years of...

    Looking to buy a second rifle

    Hey guys, I purchased a Ruger 10/22 a few years ago, and from then on I had been focusing on building my pistol collection. Now it's that time again, and I'm feeling the need to add another rifle to my arsenal :D I am really thinking about getting something in .308, but I can be convinced...

    Should I Shoot Them?

    Well guys, in my last post I asked about specific reloading equipment, and afterwards I purchased what I need and finally started reloading my own ammunition! It is a great feeling, but now I am stuck with a major dilemma. I have been using the GS 1500 digital scale that came with my Hornady...

    IDPA vs USPSA vs Whatever

    I am new to competition....in fact I have never shot competitively before!:uhoh: So my question is this, what is the difference between IDPA or USPSA or any of the other hundred acronyms I have heard?? Should I do one over the other? How do I get started (in terms of joining an event)...

    Questions from a Beginner

    Hey guys, I have just decided to make the leap and purchase some gear to start reloading my own ammo (specifically, 9mm Luger). After a few months of research, I have decided to get the Hornady Lock and Load Classic Kit. I think I'm going to purchase it from Natchez Shooting Sports because they...

    Why we should always test our daily setup...

    I experienced my first problem with my concealed carry setup at the range today...and have been kicking myself ever since. About a week and a half ago, I decided to do a full disassembly/clean on my carry piece (Glock 19). I had never done this before, and was using a Youtube video as a...

    Galco Concealable Belt Holster

    I currently own a Crossbreed Supertuck for daily carry (Glock 19) and love it. However, I am thinking about starting IDPA and taking some firearms classes. The point is that I need a holster that is a little bit more accessible for training / competition but I don't want something too large...

    Firearms Academy of Seattle

    I've looked at a couple of older threads here (2000-2003) about the Firearms Academy of Seattle. I've recently decided on upping my skill level by taking a few classes....anyone have RECENT experience with FAS (last couple of years)? I'm thinking specifically about their weeklong handgun...

    Streichers Backorder, any experience?

    I am very set on purchasing 147gr 9mm Federal Tactical HST for my everyday carry round, and Streichers seems like a very legit site to purchase from. However, this particular round has been on backorder for almost 2 years now on Streichers. Does anyone have any experience with Streichers...

    WA State - No Guns Allowed Sign?

    I apologize in advance if there have been threads that covered this topic before...i've used the search feature and haven't found anything to answer my questions. It is my understanding that in WA State the only private business you CANNOT legally carry in is a business that is off limits to...

    Self Defense: the reality?

    As someone who has recently started to carry, I have been spending a considerable amount of time thinking about how I would handle a real situation where my life or the life of another was threatened in such a way that I would have to draw my weapon. I hope to God I never have to, but alas we...

    Does anyone debate using the law anymore?

    In keeping with the spirit of THR, I will try to keep this from being a rant, but I feel one coming on :cuss: I have been reseaching constitutional law lately (US law) and I feel that no one debates law, people debate feelings. It feels right to use taxpayer dollars to bailout big companies...

    Point / Instinctive shooting?

    Does anyone have any experience with point shooting / instinctive shooting or whatever else you want to call it? To clarify, I'm talking about shooting at short distances without using sights (lets not get technical about terminology, if there is a better term for it, that's fine in my book)...

    It's a good day to be alive!

    Just got back from a day at the range, and I have to say, it's a beautiful time of year (here in Western Washington)! *Sigh*.....is there anything better than a day of shooting, barbecuing, and relaxing with your friends and family?

    +P for CCW

    Hey guys...just recently picked up a shiny new G19 for CCW. I have one good friend who insists that non +P ammo is the only ammo for CCW, and it is overkill to buy +P. He also claims that 9mm +P can over penetrate in certain situations, where non +P is less likely to do the same. I know that...

    $690 for a G19?

    Hey guys, long time lurker, brand new poster. I've been shooting regularly for 4-5 years, but I just recently turned 21 and I'm looking at getting a Glock 19. I would really like to support my local businesses, but I've been to three gun shops in my area (South King County, Washington State)...
