+1 I cannot imagine why anyone would want to go there.

Unless you are talking about starting with your hand on the gun in your pocket, you seriously need to work on your belt holster draw.

7-4-09 @ 9:30 P.M. Lots of WWB 9mm and some Federal 9mm and .40.

Now, now, settle down.

Try Horseshoe Lake in Arkansas near Hughes or Lakeview just across the MS state line off Hwy 61. Both are less than an hour away (depending on what part of town you are coming from).

Read part of "The Taking of Pelham 1,2,3" before everybody else woke up. Did a little IDPA practice with an airsoft Glock in the back yard, then loaded about 200 rounds of 9mm on the Dillon. Went w/ wife and four month old daughter to look at a house with my brother, then went Father's Day shopping (for my dad). Then went to my parents' house and ate like an Egyptian Pharoah. Came home and paid eight bills, then surfed the net. Overall, a good day.

I think airsoft guns are highly useful tools for defensive training. What area of town are you in? I have an airsoft G17 and a mask.

I'm seriously wanting to get in on their new Force on Force classes--if they will allow some Givens-style training to count as a prerequisite...

+100, but I got blasted repeatedly for saying basically the same thing on another thread...

I can go from my house to the TGI on 64 at the height of busy traffic, and it's not a big deal. Now, go down the strip between the mall and Giacosa (Home Depot, Best Buy, Old Navy, etc), and it's a different story. I guess traffic is what Rick O. was referring to.

Almost every day. What is about Wolfchase? Is Winchester safer?

TGI in Wolfchase has been posted for a month or so now.

Most of mine are American made; the important ones are Austrian. No American company makes handguns that truly suit my needs. If that means I'm not patriotic, then so be it.

Very cool pics! I couldn't get this theme song out of my ears while looking at them, though:

What type of neighbor troubles?

As long as the anti-gun press and other liberal hand-wringers have significant influence over those who are in the middle, on the fence, or otherwise don't have a dog in the hunt, I don't think we should stop caring. I'm not worried about anti-2A people saying anti-2A things; I'm worried about those anti-2A things making sense to the sheeple. Some think we should open carry into bars with IPSC race guns and 28 rounds magazines on our belts. Do it, and see where that gets us. I think we should fight, but we should choose our battles wisely. A lot of right-leaning but non-gunowner types are freaked out at the prospect of people being able to legally carry into clubs. It doesn't matter that it doesn't make sense. It matters that our imprudent actions and arrogant demands for the absolute right to carry anywhere, any time may only turn off those who would be otherwise disinterested, and ultimately cost us ground that took a long time and a lot of effort to gain.

Ruger M77?

Lots of cops have permits. Either way, it's free ammo for the anit-gun press. "If we cannot trust highly trained law officers commisioned by the state to control their trigger fingers when alcohol is present, how can we trust untrained citizens?" I can hear their BS now.

I bet this guy had a permit... Jury finds Chris Jones guilty of second-degree murder : Local News : Memphis Commercial Appeal

And you trust that all your fellow gunowners will follow this rule religiously? One sip of one drink can get you a DUI. You don't necessarily have to be .08 BAC to go downtown. BAC is only one of several tests an officer may use to determine if you are impaired. You tried your friend's girly-fruity drink, got rear-ended on the way home, cop smelled the fruity drink, you passed the breathalizer but looked suspicious when touching your nose or walking the straight line but turned left instead of right. Far-fetched, right? It happens all the time. Hell, my dad had a brain tumor and lost his right auditory nerve, which sometimes messes with his balance and coordination. He wouldn't be able to pass all the field sobriety tests with or without a drink. But I'm sure all cops would buy his story. My point is that everyone knows that one sip or even one drink can't get you a DUI, right? Wrong. I bet that many will assume that one drink will be negligible and nothing to worry about while carrying.

I think the "age restricted venue" part was removed somewhere along the way.

I think what I'm trying to say, and haven't articulated very well so far, is this: I fully support our right to go to a restaurant that serves alcohol, not drink, and carry. I believe those going to a bar or night club are much more likely to drink, fight, or find trouble, whether it is illegal or not. Night club patrons are barred by law to drive after drinking, but this is violated on a massive scale. I doubt they would adhere to the "no gun while drinking" provision, either. Therefore, our reputations and rights as HCP holders would be better served if night club patrons left their guns at home. Punish all bar patrons because of what some of them will do? You bet. Ah, deerslayer, but can't someone go to Red Lobster and get tanked and do the same thing? Of course, but it's much less likely to happen. It's a risk I'm willing to take in order to be able to legally carry into restaurants. Go to Red Lobster and see how many people are drinking. Now go to a night club and see how many are drinking. I fear that the guy in Red Lobster will lose his rights sooner or later because of the idiots in the night clubs. Does this make any sense?
