    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...

    Is Car Carry a Mistake?

    Nothing permanently affixed in my vehicles. Gun goes with person, period.

    Another self-defense shooting in Florida

    For those of you who don’t know, a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich.

    If you carry for Heavens sake USE IT

    It’s societal. Let’s be honest. This is ‘Merica! One can pretty much buy anything they want, within limits as it relates to guns. So people tend to think that if you pay a certain amount of money the net result at the end of the day is that you will be able to do it, to use it, to gain from...

    Another self-defense shooting in Florida

    I don’t trust a jury any further than I can pee in a hurricane, no matter how good the facts may be. Over the years I’ve lost the ones I thought I’d won, and won the ones I was sure I lost. People are fickle. Put something like this in front of them and you just never know what they talk...

    45 Rowland

    If you pursue, I’d suggest getting the kit from Clark’s Custom Guns. They are probably the leading “sponsor” of the Rowland platform out there today. I’ve handled a few Rowland conversions over the years … a Springfield Armory and an Hk USP so converted. Wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. I have a...

    If you carry for Heavens sake USE IT

    The answer is simple .... he didn't have the mindset that is required when you carry a gun. He was not prepared (mentally) to have to possibly take a life to defend his own, or that of a loved one and live with the consequences.

    Always looking for a good knife

    Yeah .... I use a Stanley box cutter for boxes and a real knife for cutting (birthday) cake. Maybe that's me, but I don't like a universal knife - I like 'em for various tasks.
