    Situation last night - what should I have done?

    I have a car rental business located in our small airport terminal. Last night I was at the counter waiting for a late arrival when I heard a guy swearing and yelling, obviously very aggitated. I saw that he was at the counter of one of the small commuter airlines that come in and out of the...

    Questions Re: Sig 239 in .357

    Here I am, stuck in the evil People's Republik of Mass., where the screwy gun laws would cause me to have a lot of 'splainin to do if I ever used my Glock 19 or 26 in self-defense. The 26 is my current carry gun as, all things considered, I'd much rather do the 'splainin than be put on the...

    Help re: Army signing bonus question

    First of all, thanks to all who replied to my post about my nephew wanting to join the service. He read all of them, took a great deal of excellent advice and did his homework. He's decided on the Army. He loves to shoot, he wants to jump out of planes - hey, what can I say? He also...

    Skakel found GUILTY!

    The jury has spoken. Michael Skakel has been found guilty of the murder of Martha Moxley some 27 years ago. I firmly believe justice has been done here. Also, I feel that Mark Fuhrman deserves a great deal of credit for working to keep this case alive. His 1997 book, "Murder in Greenwich"...

    Memorial Day

    There's two local guys I think about every Memorial Day. First is Buddy Blair, a man I knew well. Buddy climed Point Du Hoc with the Rangers on 6/6/44, two days before his eighteenth birthday. He never talked much about that day in public but in private once he told me his story of D-Day. I'll...

    Bulk ammo question

    Time to feed my baby... What type of .223 ammo would you folks suggest? I was poking around ammoman.com and saw Wolf ammo at about $109 per 1000. How does this rate? Also, are most pre-ban AR-15 mags mil-spec? Anything to watch out for in terms of buying these? Sorry for the idiot newbie...

    My new EBR (Evil Black Rifle)!

    I wanted to buy a Bushmaster Shorty after getting some great advice from the folks in this forum, but my gun store didn't have one in stock when I finally made it over there. The guy who I deal with most of the time at this shop suggested the DPMS Panther. I also took his suggestion to add a...

    My nephew wants to join the service - advice, please!

    I posted this on Glock Talk as well (I'm Islander-11 over there). Any suggestions will surely be appreciated! My 17 year-old nephew, who lives with us, is thinking that when (if...) he graduates high school next year he’d like to join the service. I think it’s a great idea. He’s a very bright...

    Bushmaster Shorty?

    I've got a serious itch for an evil black rifle. Is the Bushmaster Shorty a good choice? Are pre-Klinton ban clips available for these? Please pardon my ignorance with these questions. I'm looking for something that would be used for fun range shoots (inside 100 yds.) and home defense (Yeah...

    Most likely scenario

    What is the most likely scenario in which you would need to draw your gun? My wife asked me this question and I told her that the scene I would find most probable in our sleepy little town would be to stop a dog from attacking a child. Seriously! We don't have a lot of break-ins, armed...

    Best web sites for gun purchasing

    A request from the FNG to the more experienced crew out there - which web sites do you recommend for gun shopping? I know that anything I would like to purchase must clear through my local FFL guy. Santa knows that I've been a good boy this year and he feels that he should put a little...

    What is proper disclosure if pulled over?

    This question is for LEOs primarily. If someone with a valid CCP is pulled over while driving, what is the proper way for that person to handle telling the LEO about his CCW? My gut is that if it's a routine stop (speeding, etc.) where I'm most likely not going to be told to get out of my car...
