    You guys are Great!

    I've really enjoyed my time here, and you guys are among the best I've met on the Web since starting browsing in 1994 (UNIX/DOS since 1986). I've learned a lot, posted some hopefully helpful comments, but I'm moving on. (I'm spending too much time here, now that I've gotten past 'basic handgun...

    Buying a firearm and sticker shock - a common sense approach?

    One thing I learned in buying things is that you have to look further than the sticker price. 1. Generally, to start out, look at low, medium, high prices on an item and buy the medium; 2. Look at the price of something and realize that you will spend many times the cost in supplies (bikes...

    Shoulder Holsters without a CHL?

    I would say that a vertical shoulder holster where the end of the holster has a strap that loops onto the belt would be 'attached to a belt'. (In addition the firearm is pointed at the ground.) A horizontal shoulder holster rig, I would say is...how shall I put this...just stupid on several...

    The Myth of Situational Awareness?

    One of the things that makes me laugh when watching shows like 'Personal Defense TV' and other pretty good shows on firearms is this. They show the drill where the guy shoots his target, then goes to low ready and looks to left and right, and/or pivots a little and looks behind and then...

    Billy Club, as it pertains to Act 35

    Well, you can't tell upon meeting up with an individual if they are trained in any martial art, though there are some 'tells'. I was just cautioning on having it attached to you with a lanyard. If you do so, loop it like you do a ski pole - your hand goes through it to grip but not the thumb...

    We want our senior citizens/retirees to be armed!

    I mentioned this topic buried in another thread but I think it deserves its own post. My friend remarked to me that she felt (and heard her brother say) that we should enable our senior citizens to carry, and carry openly, because this is the segment of the population that is more educated...

    A site I found - revealing

    I don't know how I got this site to come up because I wasn't searching for it, but now I know I'm not a racist! It was an anti-African American site with the n-word in the title. I looked around and after reading the titles to some threads actually found myself, to my astonishment, feeling...

    Are we allowed by board rules to petition a member be banned?

    I'd like to get permission from the board owners to petition or vote ban a particular user. I believe we ALL know to whom I'm referring. If it's within board rules, I'd like to put it to a member vote. I'd say we'd only do it if there was a vast majority, because censuring a person doesn't...

    Spotsylvania Man Robbed by (Cowardly) Gunmen Outside of Home

    Three men armed with at least two handguns robbed a man as he returned home from work in Spotsylvania County. (Police urge citizens to report any three armed men) (LOL) http://fredericksburg.patch.com/articles/man-robbed-at-gunpoint-outside-of-home Question is, why is the law so stacked in...
