I gotta vent somewhere . . . I'm taking a class to get folks to start disaster-preparedness efforts in their community. One of our teachers--while he may be a good paramedic--is a rotten teacher. I took notes on how bad he was and gave my notes to the other teacher, who is the boss. Didn't take...

Hi, Mrs. sbryce here. This is my first foray into the handguns forum and I can see I can learn a lot by reading other posts -- IF I can keep all these new names and abbreviations straight!! If you wouldn't mind helping a newbie, hubby suggested I start shopping for a carry gun for me. Do have...

My wife and I were pondering this question last night. I don't know which forum this belongs in, so I'll try it here. I also can't remember if this was addressed in the CCW class. If you shoot and stop a BG, assuming he is not dead, do you offer aid? Arguments for: It is the humanitarian thing...

Does anyone know anything about Dallas Reloading Services? There is a web site that is offering reloaded 9mm 115 grn FMJ for $132.50 for 1000 rounds shipped. This is cheaper than WalMArt! (I already bought everything the local WalMart has.) Should I go for it? Look at...

I just bought a Beretta 92 FS. There is nothing in the manual about breaking in the gun. Isn't there a particular way that a gun should be treated for the first 200 rounds or so? What is the correct break-in procedure for this gun? Also, is it possible to make patches for cleaning a gun out of...

I'm toying with an idea and I want some input. I have the skill set to put together an interactive video CD that would put a person in different situations where the use of deadly force may or may not be appropriate. As the video progresses, the person could decide what course of action to take...

I recently took a concealed carry class. I don't have my permit yet. I have been thinking about how I might handle different scenarios. Something happened that made me think of a possible scenario I might have to deal with. My wife and I were running errands together. The first two stops were...

Last January, a mentally ill woman went to a gun store just south of Salt Lake City and bought a 9mm semiautomatic and lots of ammunition. The next day she walked into the KSL TV/radio lobby area, pointed her gun at the receptionist, and asked the way to the newsroom. Just then, a woman stepped...

I have just completed a concealed carry class, but don't have my permit yet. I am in a must-issue state. I am trying to get a better handle on when I can and cannot shoot. O.K., I can shoot whenever I want to as long as I am willing to face the consequences, but that is my point. In the...
