I carry pepper spray in my car (along with my firearm). The reason being is for the situation where someone gets out of their car during a road rage incident and starts acting irrational, but not to the point of being a threat to my life. Maybe they start kicking tires or punching the hood of my...

Any chance there will be production of this firearm in other calibers in the future? I personally would like one in .45 ACP, but I’m sure there will be takers for .40 S&W and 10mm.

I can’t stand any mainstream news channels for my news. I don’t have cable, but I use AP News and BBC News apps on my phone to stay updated. Based on my research, they are rated the least biased news sources. Obviously, they aren’t always perfect, but I don’t have much to complain about compared...

What does everyone have in their house, car, anywhere, and EDC for illumination? From left to right in the picture below: 1. Anker Bolder LC130 (1300 Lumens) - when letting the doggos out at night or taking them for a nighttime walk 2. Anker Bolder LC90 (900 Lumens) - nightstand and car...

I second @Annihilator. Many pistols have a barrel that naturally falls below center. They need a little room to maneuver when the slide retracts after firing. See my EDC S&W below.

I wanted to see what everyone’s opinion is on the 8 vs. 9 pellot 00 buckshot for home defense. I understand everyone’s situation, firearm, and environment is different. I currently use Federal LE Tactical 00 Buck (9 pellets) for my Mossberg 500 - ATI Tactical. It is pretty much impossible for me...

From what I have researched, “short barrel ammo” or “compact handgun ammo” is a gimmick. See the video attached where Paul Harrell compares velocities/performance of .380 ACP ammo of Remington personal defense ammo vs. Remington “compact handgun” personal defense ammo. I do realize he didn’t...

Currently, pink-eye (typically bacterial) has not been associated with the virus. Fever, trouble breathing, and cough are the most common symptoms.

Please thank her for her amazing service to the community!

I would like this to be a thread about recognizing those serving others during these crazy time. Please post a picture if you/they feel comfortable in doing so. I would like to start this thread off by recognizing my beautiful, caring wife. We are both essential healthcare workers at a huge...

Thank you, brother! I truly appreciate it and your response as well. I wish you the best of luck through this situation.

The media, whether leaning more left or right, is doing a descent job and presenting statistics, but they are providing a ton of misinformation and unanswered questions. I wouldn’t get too concerned over the mortality antics at this point. The real issue is that we don’t have a vaccine for this...

I totally see what you’re saying, and can’t argue with that. The only difference is, those diseases kill at a relatively consistent rate every year that hospitals can handle when the patient becomes critical. The issue with this virus, is if we don’t adhere to social distancing, hospitals don’t...

IMO, the issue has to do with inhibiting the spread of the virus. Just because a patient has died, doesn’t mean the virus dies immediately with the patient. It can still live for an undetermined amount of time. They don’t want healthy, unprotected, people manipulating the bodies right after...

Couldn’t agree with you more. Based on my job, I have the ability to see what patients’ chest x-rays are with the flu vs. COVID-19...it is wildly different. A symptomatic patient’s chest x-ray with COVID-19 is a disaster compared to the typical flu.

I totally agree. Some people are not really afected at all, some have been devistated. As a nation, we need to treat this situation like we are all being affected in the same way. I understand how it’s tough to view this pandemic as an issue when it doesn’t affect that person, but we need to try...

I definitely understand your point. The reason why we can’t test everyone is because we were extremely underprepared as a country to fight this - it wasn’t taken seriously until it became too late to prepare. Our nation’s response was reactive and not proactive. Thus, we don’t have the resources...

Hey guys, I would like to give some insight into COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2, from a healthcare provider standpoint, who is currently helping treat these patients. COVID-19 is both similar and different from the seasonal flu. Symptoms present very similarly and many of the “at-risk” populations are...

Thank you!

Thank you so much, Mike! That was extremely helpful! Very much appreciated!
