I want one that can be modified to fix stupidity and lies......that would be a magic button.

I have stopped carrying my little 380 in favor of my full size 1911 and three magazines. The 1911 is surprisingly slim.

  Sounds like he really wants an AK ...

Dear Santa,  My name is Craig and I'm 43 years old. I've been very very good this year and all I want is a bullet button and a hollywood magazine. Oh and world peace.   P.S. I'll leave cookies and milk out for you. P.P.S. if the dog knocks over the milk and eats the cookies remember that's him and shouldn't affect my presents at all.

I don't see it being much different being shot at whether it's a rifle or a pistol.  The shooter can't point and fire any more quickly with one over the other, and in the type of indoor environment where these shootings take place the range advantage of a rifle isn't really an issue.  The only advantage the shooter would have is magazine capacity, but based on some research I have read these shooters don't typically walk in and dump rounds rapid fire.  Instead, they walk around and select targets to shoot at so you should have the same amount of time to react whether the shooter has a long gun or a hand gun.  I'm also rethinking my carry method and strongly considering going back to my Sig P228 over the single stack 9mm I've been carrying.  If I'm going to be facing some ISIS ****bag armed to the teeth, I want as many rounds ready to deploy as possible.  I carried a 13 round P-229 on duty over a 7 shot compact 9mm pistol as a LEO in case I had to face down a serious threat, so if there is now a real possibility I will be facing a similar threat now, why would I do any differently?  Honestly, during an indoor event at close range, I'd rather have a shotgun than a rifle or a handgun, but since that's not viable I figure 15 rounds of 9mm that I can put downrange accurately is my best option.  Now, would I actively seek out the shooter and attempt to terminate the threat?  The answer is "maybe" depending on the circumstances.  If I feel I can find and maintain adequate cover and concealment, I very well might.  That's the former LEO in me, and I am the type that would want to do something to save people's lives if at all possible.  I am not going to put myself into the line of fire except in the most crucial of situations, such as to defend my family or some children.  At the end of the day, I figure it's the responsibility of adults to decide how best to secure their own safety and well-being.  If they chose to not carry a firearm for their own protection, I am not inclined to put my life at risk to save theirs.   A couple of other considerations:  1) These shooters typically seek out soft targets (a.k.a. so-called gun-free zones), so one has to decide what type of risk they are going to take when faced with the need to go to such a location.  2) You should have a plan in place on how to conduct yourself once law enforcement arrives.  The last thing you want is to be a visibly armed individual when a bunch of adrenaline fueled cops locked and loaded for a shootout come rushing into the venue.  They are not likely to be especially interested in spending much time determining whether the person holding a gun is a good guy or a bad guy and will very quickly terminate any perceived threat.  Doesn't do me much good to use my gun to defend myself only to be killed by the police when they show up.

That's very true. My point was that the general public doesn't truly have a thorough understanding of most subjects being discussed in the news. We are expecting to hear factually accurate information when we tune in. However, when we as viewers don't have a deep understanding of the subject being discussed, we have no idea we're being misinformed. Too many folks hear these talking heads spewing their trash, and they magically become the experts who need to share the [mis]information with everyone they know. Most people aren't nearly as smart as they think they are.

I don't know why do many folks believe their chance is "slim" when using a pistol to confront a person with an AK.  Yes, the obvious advantage goes to the person with the rifle, due to power, range and capacity.  However, those advantages are useless in the hands of someone unprepared/untrained to deal with being shot at.  These types are cowards who aren't looking for a fight; they're looking for a slaughter.  Whether they're armed with a military style rifle or a bazooka, 9mm still hurts.  It still has an effect on their ability to function and breathe.  Being shot at is an emotional event for those who aren't prepared for it, and for these types of people, chances are they have never been shot at before.  The only way they're going to find out how well they react when that first round comes screaming at them is once it actually happens.   Regardless of whether they shoot back, flee, give up or die in place, it will take the focus off slaughtering the sheep.  It will save lives, no question.  Certainly the smart people here have figured out that all these mass shootings have occurred in gun free zones.  That isn't by accident.  There is a reason there.

Where in the regs or not, I would just to be safe.

Pftttt Amateurs.

  Good tips for sure. I have made it a practice for many years to never sit with my back to any door or stand with my back to any door while I am in a business. I want to at all times know who or what is coming in the door. If you see guys coming towards the door with guns out long or short you begin moving right then to prepare for what is about to happen. Like many have said seconds can count in your favor if you stay crisp about your surrounding................. :up:

Found this video and thought a few of you might like to see it.   https://youtu.be/wQtfNMyWZaE

Hey all,  Tom in Williamson county here   with the craziness in todays world..   and a near death experience       decided its time to get protection for both me and the Mrs. (Both NEWBIES)   researching..  pistols and carry classes and ammo.. ranges   and $$$$   so far thinking  Springfield XD   not sure on Mod.2, xds  ,Xd   probably need to head to armory and try them .... let her try them too

That was fun. IDPA and Steel Challenge, I think I'm really gonna enjoy the Glock 34. Mark, it was fun shooting with you again. Sweet 9mm carbine.

  ...then tell him if he wants it to shoot well, "cleaning it religiously" shouldn't be looked at as a negative.  Direct gas AR's are his price range, and they get dirty.  He'll have to deal with it.

  Could be a Dogman bigfoot!     OP if you get pics I, like everyone else, would love to see them!

Saw this on FB. Just had to throw it in. [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/JMH42/media/Wyatt%20and%20Doc_zpszok3elwu.jpg.html][/URL]

    glad to read the retraction

He needs to get back on the drugs. He sucks at his job.

Congrats KahrMan.  My wife is happy I was slow to make a decision on this one.  My next knife will be a Protech with a Damascus blade.

Also, "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me" can be amusing at times

THAT'S not a knife... :)

I believe the wolves don't expect sheepdogs among the sheep. Concealed is concealed and not many posted places have metal detectors.

Normally I don't chime in on stuff like this...but I can relate. True story when we lived in Valparaiso Indiana my wife would shop at a no frills grocery store called Town and County. It was a nice clean place no fancy coffee bars and such but good prices. We are a single income household by choice so my wife clips coupons. She usually has all the corresponding items placed together and her coupons organized. It might take the cashier an extra thirty seconds to ring her up. One day there was this fine upstanding entitlement person behind her in line with her Bridge card( Indiana's version of the ebt card) out who told her she needs to get the F out of her way and she ain't got time to be waiting on some cracker with coupons. Love my wife she told the little princess that when she starts paying for her own groceries she can complain. Until that time I suggest you close your legs keep your mouth shut and get a job.

I wish Zero would just get on with.    Just go ahead and declare 2A null and void.  Ban the ownership of any firearm.   Do it Barry,  you know you want to.   Lets bring this crap to a head.

While I agree that this type of test is extreme, the initial drop it in the mud puddle, definitely seems like something that could actually happen and it did cause a failure.  That says a lot more to me than "Hey look this broke after I threw it at something."    

While I do stock some barter items I doubt if I'd be advertising it if you know what I mean. I'd only offer them to someone I'm comfortable with otherwise you may be subjecting yourself to bigger problems...just sayin'.

This shall go into the annals of history as an example of why you shouldn't try to be an expert on something you know nothing about.   https://www.facebook.com/thegunvaultut/videos/1031663876877287/?pnref=story  

Airsoft

Christie "WILL NOT" win the primary so no worries here. He can't win the south, south west, mid west, or north west. All he could win is some of the north east and maybe California.

Eric, This knife was designed by Mike Whiskers Allen a custom knife maker out of Texas, the trick to most of his knives is that they are automatic, I.E. Switchblades, but it is nearly impossible to tell. With the bolster release, there is no activation button like every other switchblade on the market, you can give this knife to a crowd of people and you would be lucky to find 1 out of 10 people who could be able to figure out how to release the blade. But once you know the way, it is simple and fires like a rocket. There simply is NO way for these knives to unintentionally fire while being in your pocket. When I got one of the first prototypes from Protech, it came with instructions, like most things in my life I have had I figured I need no instructions, I could not figure it out, so I read them They are the perfect size and with the deep carry pocket clip are fantastic as a carry knife This one will be the 5th BR1 knife that I own from Protech, I actually had a custom order in with mike (Whiskers) on a $1000.00 knife, I cancelled it after receiving my custom pearl handled Damascus blade BR1 from Protech These in my humble opinion are the perfect Gentlemen pocket knife, I absolutely adore them When Dave builds the Prototype, I will post pictures But for those of you who order a Chad Nichols Damascus blade, it is the same blade on my custom knife shown here

I would like to have it if stil available.

Got off work early enough on Friday afternoon to go sit in the stand.  About 10 minutes before the sun dropped below the horizon.  I see a huge doe prancing toward me.  Directly at me.   She gets within 30 yards, decides to stop and give me a perfect broad side shot.  I hit her in the kill zone.  She went about 20 yards and dropped.  Yaay, meat in the freezer.   I give her about 15 minutes to make sure she's dead before I approach her, so she doesn't jump up and run away (been burned before).  I roll her over and start to gut her.   "To my surprise, this doe's penis and testicle are staring me in the face.  I take another peek at her/his head.  The antlers had broken completely off. I'm estimating he was 1 1/2 or 2 1/2 years old, not full grown and easily mistaken for a large doe.   I guess he'll be as tender as an old doe.   Didn't hit his heart with the bullet.  However, the lungs were completely vaporized.  The 158 gr 357 JHPs did the trick.

You know, because of these knives I've gotten into buying even more expensive ones.  Ordered a HEST F Urban a couple weeks back.  It's getting to be as expensive as my guns.

I've heard that Kenny Loggins lurks around there. Watch Out!

yup.  for me it was the "right off the bat" factor that troubles me.  

Congrats, buddy. I really wanted one of these, but just couldn't do it at this time.

Just as they're angry with us, we certainly should be angry with the folks attacking us. I don't intend to pressure anyone to be more pc, but the idea that every single person who follows a particular religion is a shoe bomber in the making and should be removed from our country is wrong. It's no different than when we imprisoned all the Japanese citizens during WWII, just for being Japanese in America. I don't have any more control over our foreign policy than you do, and I also haven't invaded/ enslaved/ drive anyone off their land. There's no reason for me, or you, or anyone else alive today to feel bad or apologize for that. That happened 100 years ago, but America's hands are still meddling in the Middle East today. While I don't think we deserve the jihad that's been unleashed, I think it's important that we have some understanding of what might be driving it. You can't beat an enemy you don't understand. I appreciate the kind remarks, and just like OS said: if the stuff ever comes down to a physical fight over here I'm on your side. Looks like the terrorists -really- hate folks like me. :lol: We probably do have a lot in common. I'd offer to get a beer and discuss it, but it's kind of a hike. Split the difference and head for Kansas City? :lol: :cheers:

So islamic terrorist had a few 1000 rounds, hope the government does not come to some of our houses.

If some retards are running around with AKs and SVests I am not sticking around. Yes 10mm is known to reduce mortals to piles of goo and gristle, however I will not try to tackle a hunter killer team bent on killing everyone. Only to have the wannabe SOF cop cavalry shoot me 320 times while mildly creaming their panties. Im tired of all this postulating and tactical planning it doesnt solve anything. Everyone is getting scared. Hold your family close and stay aware - but dont be a fool and think carrying a pistol be it a 9mm with a 33 rd mag or 10mm or 454 Cas is going to eliminate a threat. Get out of the danger zone and go home... Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Speed, audacity, surprise; use all three as best you can.  They're expecting the crowd to run away in a panic.  Don't do what they expect, and you can earn enough of an advantage to do what you can. 

  There's a healthy difference between military tactics when trading fire with a threat, and military tactics when dealing with the population at large.  As long as the .mil TTP's stay reserved for contact drills I'm fine with that.

Sometimes there are just no words you can say when it comes to real friends and I am blessed with some great ones. About three weeks ago my old worn out recliner took a dump and back broke on it. I called a buddy of mine with a pickup truck and asked if he could haul it off for me and he said yea about about 3 hours later he shows up with this which is a brand new Lazy Boy recliner. Puts it together and hauls the old one off and won't let me pay him a dime. Then Yesterday morning I discovered that my chest freezer had quit working and thankful everything was still froze. I called another friend that i knew had some space in his freezer and asked him if I could bring all my frozen stuff to his place till I could figure out what I could do about getting the old one fixed. He said give him about an hour and he would see about coming and getting all the stuff. About an hour later him and the guy that gave me the recliner showed up with this. Brand New one. I had to wait about 2 hours to transfer all my stuff over into it but didn't lose anything. Again I asked them to let me pay them and both of them just smiled and said thats what friends are for and climbed in the truck and left! Need I say anymore????

btq96r PM me i live in Blackman and work in South Nashville been turning wrenches on heavy equipment and class 8 trucks for to long i can help you out after work

Let Kristen know that while this video isn't on Facebook........   ......, The Delightful & Wonderful Mrs. Kari (She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed, U.S. Army Wife, Retired) has reviewed this thread and wishes to pass on her complements for a job well done.  :up:   She also commented that it was a good thing that both you and Kristen are happily married, otherwise I would be shopping our firearm enthusiast daughter (also married) toward you as a future wife.   Now that I think about it, having a Son In Law with a 07/02 FFL wouldn't be all that bad a thing.   

"Why aren't the Muslims speaking out against this? Do they support it?" "Why are the Muslims holding a press conference? Do they feel guilty?" :lol: No, really. What do you want them to do?

  Well, 67 year old women have to obey the law, same as 67 year old Oh Shoot.   Pointing a gun at someone without justification and also endangering two frigging bystanders (another woman probably likely in her sixties or more and grandchild, btw) are both chargeable offenses. I see no reason that being 67, or being a woman, or being both, is worthy of an exception.   Suppose she accidentally triggered it and hit any one of the three ... should she still get special consideration because she's a 67 year old woman? What other offenses should a 67 year old woman be able to commit and walk scot free?   Now, if they want to drop the charges, or reduce to a handslap for disturbing the damn peace or something, whatever.  But at least she's had to go through hassle and apprehension of the process to orient her thinking on the matter -- in short,  I think it's only right and proper they've treated her equally under the law so far, 'cause I think they would have done the same to me.   - OS
