A pump action shotgun is your best defense. It makes a distinctive sound when racked. Imagine breaking into a house, its dark and you don't really know your way around. You hear a shotgun being wracked. The larger majority of criminals are going to hightail it out of there with piss running...
But but but, they need to do SOMETHING. You know, so it looks like they are doing something vs nothing, even if what they do has no effect. At least they did something.
Having had this discussion with my kids (now 20 and 23 yrs old) I can tell you, what little they know of socialism, they see as something from way back. It failed because people were not as educated as today and today's educated person would be more likely to make it work (yes, i set them...
I fully expect the media to come out with an ever increasing number of 'stories' with the sole intent of pissing off gun owners to the point of saying something that can be used to investigate under red flag laws.
I can understand his concern. Cause, you know, the chances of it being delivered to someone with bad intent is very high since most people in Las Vegas probably fit that description.
The Dutchess county fair had the same rule, no guns, knives, etc. Yet, there was a vendor selling knives. I guess they figure if you were allowed to bring in your own, you were less likely to buy one there. Kind of like food at a ballpark.
Years ago, we had a guy living around the corner from us who had done time. We simply referred to him as 'the convict'. Worked well then, works well now.
Good. I stopped using them in protest as well. And regardless of what they do now to recover, I will not go back. Obviously they believed in their Toxic campaign. The attitude of 'oh, we lost a lot of money so we have to stop advertising what we really think' is a bunch of crap. You know...
Power is out, cell phones are not working, cars are. First off, check the radio. Most radio stations have generators. The scenario given is nearly impossible. If cars were working, radio station would be working unless someone figured out how to disrupt radio signals as well while not taking...
A good option is pool shock. Bleach deteriorates and can be difficult to transport. Here is an article on how to use shock. Pool Shock for Water Purification As mentioned above, having several methods is best.
The Romeo advertises a one year life when on constantly. I never trusted battery life. If the ability to sight through using iron was not there, I would never consider this as a carry option. Yes, it will mainly be range use. I will carry in colder weather to get accustomed to the feel but...
Interesting points for sure. For me, I do not see using the sight in a defensive situation. "hold on while I turn on my sight." I do like access to the iron sights. I had not considered optics on a handgun until I saw the Sig integration. I thought it would be a new option for the range.
I had looked at reviews before buying one. I couldn't find much stating they were bad. Most had favorable reviews including one field test involving parking a jeep on it, freezing it, dropping, etc. The design is nice. I picked up a compact 9 for colder weather carry. I will keep an eye on...
Another option would be to go with a Sig P320 with romeo optics. It's available in 9, 40 and 357. The optics are mounted so you still have full iron sight availability and the iron sights are night sights. Yes, the price is not cheap but if you add in buying a good optic and the price to...
Yes, I know a non res is not needed in Virginia, but having it allows me to carry in states other than Va and a couple of states that the PA permit does not cover. My wife and I are retiring soon and plan to travel the country. I would like to cover as many states as legally possible.
I remember buying one from Thruway Sporting Goods for $99 in the early 90's. It was a bitch to clean all the grease off of. I wish I had held onto it. They also sold the ranch model new in the box for $89.
A representative of the US Government should not be attending a conference in Israel who's intent is the destruction of Israel. If they wanted to attend to voice their personal opinion, that's one thing but it is not their place a our representatives.
I picked up my VA non res permit a month ago. It can be done all through the mail. The cost is a little steep at $100 but it adds a couple of states out west that PA does not cover. Interestingly, a PA permit covers VA but VA does not cover PA. The VA permit takes a couple of months to...
If this goes to SCOTUS now or if shootings continue and it goes to SCOTUS down the road, SCOTUS will yield to political and public pressure. Please, someone show me how I have to be wrong. PLEASE.
