The High Road is a little different from the other Web forums I’ve frequented.
There are a few things that I think every new member should know in order to blend right in from the start.
-Read the rules for posting prior to posting. Refresh your memory periodically by reading them again.
-Take some time to be civil in your discourse. THR is a friendly place. This is the only forum where
I have felt comfortable asking a seemingly stupid question without fear of ridicule from some jerk.
-Clips and magazines are not the same thing. If you don’t know why, just use the terms incorrectly and someone will come along and tell you.
-We don’t shoot to kill and we don’t shoot to warn. The objective is to stop the actions that justify the use of lethal force.
Succinctly put, we shoot to stop the threat.
-We don’t take pleasure in the deaths of others just because they did something stupid. We’ve all done stupid things, and most of us are lucky to be alive.
-Some arguments will never be settled: Rifle ok for home defense? 9mm or 45, 40 or 9mm, Glock vs XD, AR vs. AK, etc, etc, forever…
Feel free to add to these, the list is very dynamic and cannot be known by any one person at any one time.
