I'm going back to the Pledge. First, there wasn't one. Then there was one without reference to God. Then a reference to God was added. So? Changes happen. No matter how you write it, someone will object to something, or lack of something. It's good the way it is. I'd rather live in a...

I have to say the news story reported the incident fairly, treating these buffoons as the abberation they are, and refraining from demonizing the range and their customers, which is what I would have expected. Thank God for the range officer, who showed how real gun owners respond to that kind...

Hey there. Welcome. I gather you like XD's. I have one.

I'll defend good old Paul. He'd be the first to acknowledge he's not doing scientific experiments. He doesn't pretend he's collecting repeatable data by shooting the meat target. He's just putting together a reasonable analog of a torso and using it to get an impression of bullet performance...

Not exactly an "in depth" piece, but I agree with the practice of disciplined front sight focus, or at least referencing it up close. Some say you can't do it under the stress of a real gunfight. All I can say is during a decent amount of realistic scenario force on force training, I was able...

I have to confess I've always been a bit ambivalent towards my XDM 9mm. I'm not sure I would buy it again if I had to do it over. But knowing that Ayoob likes his and competes with it makes me feel better about it.

Atta boy, Keystone. Score one for the good guys. Mental and physical preparation, paired with swift, decisive action saved the day. May we all learn from your experience. Also, you had a close call with human predators. I would consider that to be a potentially traumatic experience. Take...

I also carried a Makarov back when the earth was young. It was my first carry gun, which I chose because it cost $149 or something from Shotgun News. It was a functioning firearm. It never jammed on me, and I got pretty proficient with it. But I sold it in 1999 to partially fund the Sig I...

Burmese Mountain Poodle. Cool.

Mounted on the coffee table and aimed at the front door, it would be a nice "home security system." :sneaky:

Mmmmmmmmmmmm. I feel like I'm looking at a swimsuit model.

My EDC is a Sig P239 in 9mm since 1999. I chose it because I carried a P228 on duty, so they both work the same. I'm no longer "on duty," so I could carry something more up to date. The P239 is now out of production, and there are many options which are smaller, lighter, and have greater...

Did this suddenly become a controversy for some reason? Daniel was a teenage boy. Therefore, he did some dumb stuff. If Elizabeth Shue so much as smiled at me, God knows how much stupid stuff I would do! But he was not a bully. I have chosen my side. ☺️

Aging is an extreme sport! Hoping for the best for you and your loved ones.

The article claims the gun was snatched from the front pocket. That's not typically "open carry." With most reporting you never get a clear picture of what happened. Was the gun sticking out? Was it in a pocket holster? What kind of gun? What kind of pants? I pocket carry only rarely...

A couple of times I have observed others carrying openly in my area, and no one bothered them. If hysterical ninnies were the only concern, I would too. But I don't feel it's secure, so I prefer to be discreet.

I really don't understand this hostility. The McCloskeys were just ordinary people suddenly confronted with a terrifying situation that could have gone a thousand different ways. As others pointed out, we were not there. We should not act like we know what they perceived and had reason to...

I can scarcely comprehend the notion of a sudden 50K per year increase in household income. That's really life changing. Nicely done! Say hi to the tax man for me!

Thanks. I consider Charlie Brown and Snoopy to be childhood friends.

Something tells me these...uh...people may have some...uh..."issues."
