Folks, need some pearls of wisdom from you: When you answer your front or rear door during the day and night - are u armed? And is it visible to the person knocking / ringing the doorbell? I walk around armed in my home, and check the peephole to see it was my neighbor, so I shifted the...

For those of you who have not yet heard the good news....The original space gun "Flash Gordon style" is now officially shipping from Olympic arms. The polymer framed Whitney Wolverine. Beautiful looking piece. I heard it was accurate, ergonomic, best grips in the business and reliable. So...

Been looking at my newest obsession: The slick looking compact - Beretta 9000S. Priced at a modest $350, it looks like a very nice weapon. All the reviews I can google up so far have been very positive: There is a pinky rest for those with bigger hands, and it uses 92 series magazines for...

CC outside the home relatively depends on how much clothing one wears on a day to day basis, and the type of rig one prefers. :) My big issue and the question to all of you - is how do you carry INSIDE your home? (Assuming that you do) When I am wearing shorts and a t-shirt, there is just...

Everyone - the question on the table is: Do you use any modifications on your handgun / shotgun / rifle - for HD or CC? And if you do - what is your reliability experience? And what mods are on your weapon? All my pistols are stock. My AR15 has an optical sight. Shotgun is stock. (thought...

Went to my first USPSA competition this Sunday. The field of 66 shooters were divided into squads of 11 and then we went off to shoot 6 different scenarios. :D The best 40 bucks I ever spent! (Membership into USPSA, and shoot included). The six scenarios included one qualifier (nuts...

Ohio officials are considering whether to bring criminal charges against Bears' tight end Darnell Saners, whose dogs attacked and killed an 82 year-old man earlier this month. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the deceased man was watering his plants in his backyard when he was attacked by...

Gentlemen, I recently switch from a 9mm pistol to a .40 S&W pistol for my CC. Feeling the need for an extra mag because of the weapon's reduced capacity, I am wondering where and how (for those that carry an extra mag)? I have a mag holder (from tactical holsters) that I carry next to my cell...

Everyone, just picked up a new CETME 308 @ the local gunshow here in VA. Black rifle, stock with scope. This weapon has been my dream gun for a long time and I am very happy with it: Have some Q's for you CETME veterans: Best place to buy a collapsable stock? Type of carrying case that can...

Just attended my first homeowner's board meeting @ MS13 gang infested Herndon, VA. Sat next to several neighbors wearing a button down shirt (tucked out) with a bikini holster @ 2 o'clock. None of my neighbors (12 or so folks) noticed that I was carrying. I was slightly nervous that the...

True story: Just happened to my friends in an equistrian event in Leesburg, VA: You are enjoying a beautiful Sunday morning in Leesburg Virginia watching an equistrian jumping event. You are tailgating with your family, kids, and 2 more couples. Suddenly a jocky falls off his horse, and the...

As part of an extended trip to the NRA range this weekend, I was given the opportunity to shoot a tuned out modified AR15 style rifle (my friend Dave's) that was outfitted in the new 6.8mm cartidge. He had previously shot a 100 Ib boar @ 100 yards with this baby. The weapon was finely...

Just came from the NRA range last Sunday: :) Finally got to test out my newly purchased + refurbished S&W 4013 in stainless. Bought it as a used gun from a friend who needed to get rid of it, because his SO thought his gun collection as too large. My prior trips to the range with this...

This weekend my SO was walking my dog around the neighborhood when she noticed a male, dressed rather shabbily, looking at her intensely. Normally our dog is really friendly and will approach people. But this time, he growled and was in a defensive posture. So she kept sight of him and just...

Does anyone know of any local to the Northern Virginia Area 3 gun competitions? Thanks.

Has anyone ever fired an ASP 9mm? Or heard of anyone who has? This compact 9mm is supposedly the best deep concealment weapon ever made. Along with a unique Guntersnipe sight, see through grips (for instant ammo count), no snag design. Let me know - I would be very curious on its...

There is a very interesting article in Feb 2005's issue of Vanity Fair about a string of Home Invasions / Robberies in Beverly Hills. The short version is that a string of robberies in an affluent area of Beverly Hills which included doctors, actors, lawyers (poetic justice), details include...

Let us begin the debate ladies and gentlemen: For the purely coolness points factor: Lets face it, unless you are an avid handgun hunter (Which I am not...) or a billionaire (working on this...) who likes big guns, firing a .44 mag is not going to be part of your regular shooting cycle. So if...

Gentlemen, My company has me travelling in a foriegn land. No weapons allowed (or illegal drugs for that matter.....both have severe penalties...death in most cases). And although the culture and the food here is fantastic, I am missing those days where I can walk out in the American Freedom...
