Guns&Dobes, I've never heard of Matewan. My dad and mom were born somewhere outside Whitesville.....have you heard of that? I always heard them talk of Edwhite, Ameagle, Naoma, Rock Creek.....still have a bunch of relatives up there. My whole family history as far back as we can trace is from that area. I was the youngest of four kids and I was the only one born after they moved to Illinois......so I guess if you want to get technical I suppose I'm a yankee by birth When my dad retired, they moved back down here and I came with them. I've always been a redneck at heart though! Nice looking guns btw!

Welcome to TGO!

I learned how to shoot handguns as a kid with my dad's revolvers. I love wheelguns and they are great fun to shoot! I have been receiving a lot of criticism on this forum lately for expressing my love of Glocks .....so I just wanted to share a pic of my three favorite revolvers to show you guys I do like other guns too! The old Colt .357 was my dad's carry gun when he was an armed security gaurd back in the 70's in Chicago (no, he was not a yankee.....just moved there from W VA to get a better job than the coal mines). I like my King Cobra too.....but it doesn't shoot near as good as that old Colt!!! The old one is sooooooo smooth and accurate....really sweet gun!

I am going to get that book.....and maybe a couple others too. Thanks Dixie!

Thanks jackdog! That's some great info and will be good support for debating with anyone opposed to owning/carrying guns

Got some anti Glockers here ehhh? :p:D Hey, I'm pretty new to this forum.....could somebody please tell me what the kool-aid thing is???

I have to agree with Target on the Glocks. Glocks are the most accurate, best shooting, and most reliable guns out there.....at least in my opinion (and a LOT of other folks too!) But I would urge you to take a look at the G23 (compact .40) and G27 (sub compact .40) before you decide on a 9mm. 9mm's are a little cheaper to shoot but the .40 is just as much fun and they pack a bigger punch if you're wanting it for home defense and/or carry. I have a G23 and love it, but have actually been thinking about picking up a G36.....it's a .45 but it has a single stack magazine so it is much slimmer than the rest of the Glocks. Just my

What a great idea.....I might have to try that one!

I have that dvd....haven't watched it yet but definitely will......I'll let you know what I think soon

I thought they were funny......I'd like to put one in my front yard

Tower, that's funny, I thought the same exact thing myself......but, I don't want to cause trouble in the family.......my little boy loves to see his Pop Pop every Sunday. I am planning on doing some research to find some stories about people that were legally armed who used their weapon to defend themselves or others......ever here of John Lott? I need to find some of his stats to show the old man too.

Thanks Dixie, I will show him that when he comes over next Sunday....but I doubt it will do any good. Once he makes his mind up on something that's it...no changing it.

Awesome Welcome Shelli!! Good to see another female on here!! Do you have the gun you're planning on carrying already?

I could think of a couple places

I want to see

Sure wish I could get high speed! I live about three miles outside of Verizon's coverage area......or anyone else's for that matter! I used to love to play Ultima Online several years ago.....then the game got so popular and crowded that my slow connection just couldn't keep up anymore. I can only connect at 26,400 with my 56k modem. I can't watch any video and it takes soooooooooo long for pages to load:( I am jealous
