    The truth about deadly force encounters

    Considering how criminal appellate courts generally tend to rule on appeals, no surprise. It's true that the DA does not have to introduce all evidence at the GJ stage, only evidence favorable to secure an indictment. But the saying is true, a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich. At trial...

    The truth about deadly force encounters

    Interesting to me, if for no other reason than it seems like a huge amount of work to do that.....espically when a GJ will indict whatever you "urge" them to indict (i.e., a ham sandwich). Not to mention, the actual jury that would hear the trial would not include any members of the GJ, by law...

    Handguns for Bear Defense: Will Any of Them Stop the Threat?

    I would agree, and I would also not pick a Glock 20 if I were hunting bear. I believe there are better choices. Now if I were in a bush-plane crash or canoeing down some river, then yes, I'll take the Glock.

    Survival Capsule anyone?

    Those of us in hurricane-prone areas have a saying, hide from the wind but run from the water. I'd rather not be underground in a flood-prone area, but that's just me.

    Always Be Ready: What’s In Your FEAR Bag?

    Keep a couple of knives in the truck, at the camp, around the house. Same with Bic lighters. Those two, and a country boy can survive.

    Always Be Ready: What’s In Your FEAR Bag?

    The example in the OP article was stranded in your car, and a Molotov cocktail gets tossed at your car. If I'm stuck in traffic, first off, I am a dumb a** for getting into that situation. Secondly, if we are ALL stopped, I am out of the car immediately and on the move. I think if you stay...

    Always Be Ready: What’s In Your FEAR Bag?

    Some good ideas in this thread, and I get the premise, but that premise is, I think, somewhat flawed. If there is civil unrest, I am not out and running errands. I am close to my camp, hunkering down, and hyper-vigilante. Civil unrest does not occur in a vacuum. In today's world, there is...

    New Digital Surveillance Tools Threaten Gun Owner Privacy

    A warrant is required, absent an exception. What the Court did not do is get into the sufficiency of the search warrant at issue in the case. The Fourth Circuit initial opinion held that geofences are not a search, so that opinion never examined the warrant. The en banc decision was a 14-14...

    Florida Open Carry Just Got Very Real

    Agreed. OC ideas started with good intentions but can quickly spiral out of control and that can be detrimental to others.

    What a Red Dot Sight Won’t Do for You

    This. Learn with irons, first and foremost. I get why people gravitate to using dots ... they just are not my cup of tea on a defensive-use pistol. The dot however will give you options just in case you have to engage someone at distance (which LE will more likely have to do, than your...

    On subculture societal norms

    I don't think the criminals take time out of their day to go vote, even if they still have the right to vote. It's the tragically uneducated and non-critical thinking people that DO vote that keeps gumming up the system. And every time I've been at my voting location, it's not the same...

    What a Red Dot Sight Won’t Do for You

    Depends on your use, and your eyesight. At close combat ranges, I'll say irons are just as good, if not better than dots. Sights and sight alignment are only secondary to pistol shooting. Number one is learning how to break the shot without moving the pistol while doing it. Until you master...
