Right. The history of mass shootings bears this out. In nearly every case, the killing stops as soon as the shooter is confronted by someone else with a gun. Buffalo was a rare exception. But then you have Charleston, WV almost immediately validating the concept again.

Good old Joe has often recommended the shotgun for home defense. Here's a famous quote of his from 2013. "Get a double-barreled shotgun. Have the shells in the 12 gauge shotgun. And I promise you…as I told my wife…we live in an area that's in the woods and somewhat secluded. I said, 'Jill...

Have you considered the idea of just keeping a gun on you? You be the safe. It's the fastest access you can get, and costs only a holster. I've been doing it over the last year or so. It's not difficult.

I probably wouldn't have bought it out of suspicion over the low price! I would assume there's something wrong with it. But I have a knack for talking myself out of a good deal. 😩

An "overrated gun" is actually just a really good, very popular gun that some people like to poo-poo just to be contrary.

Whew! Tense situation. Good lesson. I also shoot in relatively remote locations, and I have considered the same scenario. What if some ne'er do well hanging out in the woods decides I'm a good source of some guns and new vehicle? I agree that you need to keep a loaded gun at the ready...

Clever. Bait me in with a beautiful woman, then switch to crusty old sarge. Cruel.

Truly one of the most eloquent, sincere, heartfelt tributes to police service I have ever read. Well done.

There are guns which are good to learn with. There are guns which are good for carrying. They're not usually the same. The "one gun for all people for all purposes" is mythical. Why do you think there are so many choices on the market? Why do you think we all own numerous guns? For the...

Well...to those of us who have been around the subject for a while, there may not be much to learn here, but to those who are newer to self defense and firearms, they might need to read this. For instance, my cousin just purchased a pistol for self defense. He didn't ask me for any advice, but...

Holy crap. The description of liability law there in Michigan is literally insane. It seems our capacity to pass ridiculous, unjust laws is without limit. And our civil lawsuit system....how do we survive at all?

Every gun I have prints a bit no matter how I carry or what I wear, unless it's heavy outerwear. I'm not going to sweat it too much. Otherwise, I'd have to wear a burka. I just try to be aware of who's around me and be cool. If someone screams, "Oh my God! He has a gun!" I'll just stand...

Golly, if the gun just had a serial number and a 10 round magazine, everything would have been just fine.

Well...just sad.

Just what I want every politician to be. Too bad it takes a Jamaican immigrant to show people how to be an American.

I'm impressed with the distance shooting. Very cool. But a chest rig for a Hellcat? Come on. :rolleyes:

When I was young and foolish, I voted for Bill Clinton his first term. I watched him say he would never infringe upon the 2nd Amendment rights of Americans. I quickly learned my lesson. Have never voted Democrat since. Republicans frequently embarrass and disappoint. But the difference is...

I just read that for the article. Honest! :sneaky: What was it about again?

Since we're putting our Signess out there... The gun I aspire to is the Sig M11-A1. When I have $1200 lying around then maybe.

Makes you sick to your stomach. The details of the incident leave a lot to be desired, and don't make much sense. If the kid is in the car seat in the back, while the adults are in front, how does the child "somehow find the gun" and start playing with it. There is no explanation except the...
