  1. Probably, five shots or less of most anything will probably work in vast majority of defensive scenarios, probably.   - OS

  3. The difference I see is force. Government is allowed to use force to compel you do do certain things. I have never been forced to work at a particular place. If a work environment becomes intolerable, I am free to leave.

  4. Got his nice display of 22lr ammo today traded some other ammo for it. Some of it has 1cent TN tax stamps on it. Any way thought it was kind of cool. Makes a neat display. Jason.

  5. A man, or woman, who trains with a revolver and has the skills to use it, is well prepared for all but the most extreme scenerio. The average street crook, break in artist, or just plain old mugger; will not normally be prepared to meet someone who knows how to defend themselves.   If you practice with your weapon of choice, you'll be miles ahead. But don't just shoot a few times and think " I"m ready." Constant practice drawing from concealment, dry firing, trigger control, point shooting, all the drills necessary to hone your skills and keep them sharp.   Basically..."Eternal Vigilance"   Then a man with a revolver will not be undergunned.

Looks like the AWB and the "High" Capacity Magazine Ban have both been dropped from the National "Gun Bill" in the Senate!  Now, just to drop the entire thing!  We've made headway atleast!   http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2013/03/19/feinstein-assault-weapons-ban-reid-senate-bill/2000119/

  14. I won't be fully satisfied until I know it's completely dead, but this is pretty much what I expected and it is good news. I don't think the majority of politicians expected the fierce backlash they've gotten over all this. I'm waiting to see what happens in Colorado. I hope they run everyone who voted for that bill out of office.

  15. The Constitution does not protect you from the actions of "individuals" or "private entities", laws do. Having the right to bear arms is not a guaranteed right on someone else's property. Neither is protection from unreasonable search and seizure. Those can be set as the conditions of being on the property and you can choose to comply or leave. A property owner has no legal or even moral obligation to give anyone the rights as dictated in the Constitution. There is not a single Amendment in the Bill of Rights that a private individual must recognize when someone else is one their property. It is the property owners, not the guest, that choose what they will allow. Allowing a firearm on private property is a choice made by the property owner because it is not guaranteed by the Constitution. Laws dictate how private entities interact with each other, not the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.   The right to defend yourself is a fundemental right but how or what we choose to defend is not guaranteed or dictated by the Constitution. We choose a firearm because it is the most efficient way to protect ourselves.   A private entity can dictate the use of a Nerf gun for defense on their property. They can also dictate that you do not have gun in your car on their property. You can choose to comply or leave the property. If you are an employee that can also mean you will get fired. And this law only enforces that. This law does not guarantee you will not be fired for having a firearm in your car. You can still be fired for having a gun in your car against your boss's wishes.   Like I said before, I am glad those of you who supported this got it passed but it realistically changes nothing with regards to whether you can be fired or not for having a gun in your can. All it is going to do is give employees a false feeling that they cannot be fired for having a gun in their car when, in reality, they can. And when they think they have been wrongly fired, even though they haven't, there will be lawsuits filed costing the taxpayers of this state money.   We don't need more laws, especially when they change nothing. Keeping your mouth shut and the gun out of sight would have been a better option as it won't cost taxpayer money to hear the lawsuits.   If I were an employer I would welcome people to carry firearms but that is my choice as the employer. And likewise another emplyer should have the right to choose to not allow firearms.   How many here think this law protects them from being fired for having a gun in their car?   Dolomite

  18. To me it depends.  5 rounds of 9mm or .380 would make me hesitate.  5 rounds of 125 grain JHP .357 magnum does not make me feel undergunned.

  19. It would seem to me, although having never been in an actual situation, after the sound of the first shot, who's not going to be running in an opposite direction?   1) The guy that fired it.   2) The guy that got hit by it.   I'm probably wrong, but...

  21. The problem with this is any argument that you can make about video games, you can take out those words and insert "guns" and it sounds almost exactly the same. Instead of saying that video games (or guns) are an ingredient, and trying to make a scapegoat out of one or the other, the blame should fall onto the person doing the crime and that person alone. A person that kills someone with a lawn mower blade doesnt result in lawn mowers getting blamed when the guy watched Slingblade in 1996. It's not a perfect example, but you know what I'm saying.

  24. As a veteran, I still oppose this bill.  I am against ANY bill that gives one group of citizens privileges that other citizens cannot have.  I do not favor laws that permit retired police officers, judges, or anyone else to carry without a permit unless everyone who can legally possess a firearm can do so as well.  Thus, I do not support a bill which gives certain veterans a privilege that everyone cannot have.   If, as a private citizen, you want to start a fund to pay part or all of the fee for veterans, I'm fine with that and would probably contribute.  But making a law that gives special privileges is a bad idea.

  35. So, this guy, as well as other 'glory killers', carefully researched his plan and specifically chose his targets because he could 'rack up a large score' without being stopped.  Yet, we are called crazy when we want to make schools and other targets less vulnerable. :confused:

  43. Well being as you posted in the "long guns" section, I'm assuming you weren't looking for handgun suggestions. If I were dreaming I'd likely go for a Montana Rifle Company XVR in .35 Whelen. It's stainless, synthetic [you're gonna want that in Alaska!] and my shoulder cannot handle the bigger powerhouses anymore since I injured it but the 35 Whelen is manageable and MORE than enough if you put the bullet where it needs to go. Price tag of $1400 is a very reasonable price considering what you get. It is fitted with iron sights which is another prerequisite to back up a scope out there. http://www.montanarifleco.com/custom.rifles.html I will say everyone is right to suggest a large caliber handgun as a side arm. In that case I'd say a reasonable revolver in NO LESS than .44 magnum, preferably a .454 Casull or larger. Since we're dreaming here I'd put in for a Hamilton Bowen built M1917 Redhawk in .50 AE. I'd have it built on a stainless action though. Only problem with this handgun is the price is north of 4K and a year wait. http://www.bowenclassicarms.com/gallery.html

  46. Not sure it will do any good but I sent this email to the Chamber of Commerce.   I'm guessing last summer was my first and last time in CO.   I sure do hate it though, it was a beautiful state.       Dear Colorado Chamber of Commerce, I wanted to let you know that my wife and I had a wonderful time visiting your state for the first time last summer.   We had planned to come again this summer and this time bring our two college aged children with us.   I wanted to let you know that due to your state's recent attack on the second amendment rights of law abiding citizens, my family has cancelled travel plans to your state.   I cannot support your state with my tourism money.   Until CO lawmakers decide to bring logic back into the discussion and reverse their recently passed laws, my family will not be back.      No law can prevent evil people from doing evil things.   You only end up punishing the law abiding citizens.     Thank you, XXXXXX Nashville, TN
