So who do you think will win the World Series????

I'm not going to argue semantics. In my home I don't answer the door, but I always carry. It has been my experience (yes I have actual experience) that when a perp sees a weapon, pointed at them or not, they tend to leave rather quickly. In reality, if someone with ill intent did see a resident...

One thing you're missing in quoting these statutes is this: you are in your home, on your property...NOT in public. It is not considered "menacing" to simply have a weapon in your hand in your own home. Now, if you point that weapon at an unarmed person (without cause), or follow that person and...

I have to politely disagree with this statement, specifically the word "absolutely." If the potential perp was younger than you, or bigger than you, or you were unable to see if he was armed you are justified to use deadly force. This is known as disparity of force (to quote Mr. Ayoob), meaning...

I think there is a natural tendency to want to share that you are a CHP holder and that you carry. Whether to brag or simply to share that you have something that most people don't. However, it is in a person's best interest to control that tendency and NOT inform everyone they know. As many...

As many have mentioned, I check out my gear every day. I clean my weapon after every trip to the range, and field strip and clean it once a month whether I shoot or not. I also rotate my carry mag and back-up mag once a month. I'm glad to hear your church has a security team...I'm hoping to...

Topgun777 - I strongly suggest you take a class for beginning shooters. No offense, but from the sound of your posts ("on the barrel it is written..." and "it has no safety button") it is clear that you are a newbie. Nothing wrong with that AT ALL...everyone started from scratch. But in addition...

Congratulations! Your wife seems to have come around very well. Oh, and be prepared for the day (which is closer than you think) when she out shoots you...consistently. It has been my experience that when most women get REALLY comfortable with shooting they quickly surpass their teacher. Not...

DARN...ya beat me to it... ;)

Two thumbs up on the Uplula...one of the best purchases I've every made. And I agree with GKC, once you've used one there is no going back to loading the "old fashioned way."

Old Faithful...inexpensive and comfortable.

I have the same concerns, so about six months ago I installed motion sensors outside my home. I have one that covers the front walk, which gives me about 5-10 seconds advanced notice before anyone gets to the front door. I have one on the side of my house where we enter the backyard from the...

Thanks for the updates. It is a sad day for Colorado indeed. I encourage all of my fellow Coloradans to join in fighting this soon-to-be law by signing petitions (which will be available soon, I'm sure) to place this on the ballot for a vote this November. We have to come together to fight this...

Welcome to the forum...and congrats on the find!!

I am so envious! I just got back from checking my local Wally World and Gander Mountain. WW had virtually nothing but shotgun ammo...GM had some handgun ammo, but only two boxes of 9mm steel case Blazer. I don't like steel, so I passed. I guess I'll keep looking... :(

I also carry a full-size semi-auto...have been for about 4 months. I purchased an Old Faithful IWB holster. Very similar to the Crossbreed, but with slightly thicker kydex and leather. Also, the kydex is attached with screws, as opposed to rivets, which allow for adjustment once the leather...

Trust me...you're not alone.... :rolleyes:

I will jump in here and add my 2 cents worth. I've had my 9VE for about 10 months. It is my EDC (using an Old Faithful IWB) and I have total confidence in this gun. I've put about 600 rounds through it with NO problem whatsoever. I pull the trigger and it goes bang...every time! I did install...

Everyone who starts to carry concealed has the same feeling that everyone can see the gun, or "knows" they are carrying. In reality, virtually no one ever notices anything. While I waited for my CC permit I carried at home all the time. My family never noticed the gun...and that was for about 3...

I carry my 9VE in an Old Faithful IWB holster. I've been using it for several months and love it. I bought the quick assemble kit...it took me about 10 minutes from opening the package to putting it on my belt. It took some trial and error trying different locations and adjusting the cant, but...
