    Carrying in States with Magazine Capacity Limits

    You may very well be correct, but I would double check that if I was you. A whole pile of places had laws about saps, monkey fists, "dirks", razors, the dreaded "Bowie knife" long before they started in in guns. It only takes one police officer that had a fight with the Mrs the night before...

    Carrying in States with Magazine Capacity Limits

    JMHO. Don't go playing jail house lawyer. If it says 10 rounds, that means 10 rounds. Not a 12 round mag. loaded down, not some bubba block to make a 12 rnd mag only hold 10, not because your from away and only there for a few hours, open that wallet wave the moths away and buy 10 rnd mags...

    How About Your State?

    Maine, Constitutional carry. Don't bother with a permit anymore, don't care about reciprocity. If I never go south of Agusta it will be a day too soon. ;). Don't need a permit to avoid waiting, I'm about done buying guns. Any new to me gun would have to be one wicked sweet deal and that...

    ALWAYS COUNT - IT BECOMES INSTINCT AFTER A WHILE

    Works well for revolvers, but when you start talking 12, 15, 17 rd bottom feeders ya got to take your shoes off to keep track ;) I've been counting for years, but as a kid, Dad a WWII & Korea USMC combat vet said that's nice but you'll have other sh.... to keep you occupied. By the time I went...

    What Lessons Could an Armed Citizen Learn Here?

    So what is your magic number? $100? $1500? This clown wasn't shot over $3. He broke the law, refused to comply, resisted arrest, was attempting to take away the officer's equipment, and got shot for his trouble. Cry me a river. As for egos I'll bet a dollar to a GD doughnut that the...

    What Lessons Could an Armed Citizen Learn Here?

    I want to be on that jury. I'm retired with nothing better to do. Not guilty! How many of the rest of you want to keep making $7 a day (my state jury duty compensation) for how many day until you see it my way?

    Force-on-force training?

    E. All of the above. I don't train formally so much anymore, guess I'll have to handle whatever comes my way, or not. IDPA, PPC, etc. some. Force on force A lot, flat range paper targets, oh my aching word yes. Now my training consists of strolling through my wood lot drawing and taking out...

    Red Dot Sight on a Small of Back Concealed Carry?

    No experience so take my opinions with as many grains of salt as you think best. With a correctly installed optic, I can't Imagin that being a problem, unless someone routinely throws themselves into a chair like a spoiled brat throwing a temper tantrum, instead of sitting in one like an adult...

    Concealed Carry and Open Carry

    Cowpies! Hard core criminals get elected to office.;) Seriously, don't believe everything you hear. Prisons are not finishing schools for criminals, skinners don't have a harder time than other I/Ms, or not much, and Bubba in the cell with you isn't a frequent occurrence.

    Why I can't Rack my .380

    You forgot to mention the MOST important fact. Humpbacks are just way cooler than anything else;). 638 for me.

    Why I can't Rack my .380

    I understand that I'm about to commit heresy and be burned at the stake. If your revolver has a hammer, you can always cock the hammer for a lighter trigger pull in worst case. Better than a harsh word and a mean look and better than struggling to shoot a gun that just makes noise and sends the...

    Why I can't Rack my .380

    LORD NO. I was too busy milking cows, by hand. Moving hay bales, by hand, stacking pulp wood, by hand, splitting firewood with a maul by hand, digging fence post holes by hand, shoveling snow, by hand that now that I'm in my "golden years" (who come up with that B.S.:mad:) I have a hard time...

    TWO INSTANCES IN 2 WEEKS TO BACK UP MY RED DOT OPINION ON A EDC/CCW GUN

    Not to sound like "Back in the day", but in my experience batteries, especially small batteries are not what they were 10-15 years ago. I personally have had a number of 2,3,&4 A type batteries, as well as hearing aid and watch batteries dead or all but right out of the package. It don't seem...

    Shoulder rigs after surgery

    I strongly suspect, that the chances of that happening in a properly functioning, non monkied with revolver are about the same as winning the lottery, getting struck by lightning, while flapping my ears flying to the moon. But I suppose anything can happen.

    Shoulder rigs after surgery

    NICE. Just what I have been looking for. Thanks for posting. JMHO, Guns don't just go bang all by their lonesome, willy nilly, without help. (even striker fired, recycled Tupperware, ugly as homemade sin, bottom feeder;) ) I don't worry about a Holstered gun sweeping anything, and if the...

    Some Lessons from Life

    Not a LEO. Retired Prison Guard (not corrections officer thankyou) had to meet the same requirements and qualifications as all the other LEOs in the state. Due to the nature of the assignments, I was armed 75%+/- of my career. Did have to draw, thankfully not fire my side arm, once but trust...

    Fading loyalty to Smith and Wesson

    Pachmayr's Compac for my J frames. Yup, ugly as homemade sin, but they fit my hand like a glove plus my 638 goes on a belt not in a pocket.
