    New Mexico trooper stop..shots fired!!

    Unless the driver of the car had a threatning weapon, I'de sat it is far over reacting to a traffic stop for speeding. No need to be shooting at the vehicle. I never believed in police car chases. All the police have to do is follow the car till it runs out of gas. Then apprehend or whatever...

    Virtual State of the Union Address on Guns

    The "pathetic" part of that video is to see chuck schumer sit there with a "smirk" on his face, probably through the whole presentation. Why can't people like him, (schumer), get voted out of office ?

    Pistol Wear Trump Card Subcompact holster/belt

    I too, use this Pistol Wear Trump Card band holster. It is comfortable, stays where you put it, (very important), made of "breathable" material, and is secure. I wear mine in a cross-draw position. They may not be the best type of holster for "quick-draw", but security is more important...
