    Poll on Supporting or not supporting Israel

    I believe this is where people get it wrong, or simply do not understand. For many of us not wanting to fund Isreal it has NOTHING to do with their religion or who they are. The vast majority of us in the "No" camp, don't give a damn about their god. We don't want American funding ANY country...

    We can now carry in Airports

    Maybe, but it won't stop overzealous TSA personnel from notifying the police. This could cause you to at LEAST have a couple hours of bullshit. Then a local judge may suspend or revoke your NYS PP if they are notified. Sure, you can get a lawyer, go to court, and fight it for the next 2.5 years...

    We can now carry in Airports

    The only thing that makes me wonder is that other laws do not apply to private clubs. Such as indoor smoking, some civil right laws, and ADA laws.

    We can now carry in Airports

    Hopefully the entire CCIA will burn in hell soon. The entire thing is a mess, but not being able to carry a defensive firearm in a restaurant that serves alcohol is a travesty. I do not drink...at all...ever. But I do occasionally go to restaurants. Of course I live by the "concealed is...

    Why are democrats so driven to control guns?

    I believe this right here doesn't get enough attention. Many democrat politicians aren't necessarily against guns, but due to brainwashing, their voters are anti gun. The VAST majority of rabidly anti gun voters have absolutely ZERO facts to back up their thoughts, and in fact usually believe...

    Just Another Polymer Gun. (H&K P30L)

    Oh, one more thing. This 180 grain 10mm hits like a truck!! It disintegrates anything it hits. I got a doe with it a couple years ago in my G20. I almost felt sorry for the deer!! :)

    Just Another Polymer Gun. (H&K P30L)

    The magazine release needs some getting used to. My thumb doesn't quite reach without turning the gun slightly, but my index finger gets it perfectly. I believe in time the index finger will be quicker than a regular thumb release. After my 10th magazine it was intuitive to drop the mag with my...

    Just Another Polymer Gun. (H&K P30L)

    I picked up my H&K P30L yesterday. I took it out for a test drive, and brought my sister with. As soon as she saw the gun she said, "its just another polymer gun". Well duh. After she fired a magazine she loved it. Her usual 10 inch group shrank to 4 inches. Her gears started turning when she...

    I Need Some Holster Recommendations

    I have OWB leather for all my guns. But I also have IWB Kydex for almost all of them. The only gun I carry occasionally which I don't want an IWB holster for is my 3 inch GP100.

    I Need Some Holster Recommendations

    Ive been very happy carrying my gen 1 Shield 9mm in a "We The People" IWB holster for 8 years with no complaints. The only thing I changed was added soft loops, I dont like most clips. When I bought the holster I was told what a piece of junk it was. Right here on this site I was told I would...

    I Need Some Holster Recommendations

    Im picking up an H&K P30L tomorrow or Thursday. I'd like to get an IWB holster on the way. I haven't bought a holster in over 5 years, so I have no clue what's out there. I found this KSG Armory who says H&K are their specialty. They have "customized" holsters for $90. It looks good, and has...

    Warning people that pack (Leaving guns in public restrooms)

    Ive told this story here before, but ill tell it again. About 10 years ago while hanging out in Kmart waiting for my wife to get out of work, an employee came to my wife and, in a very distressed manner, told my wife there was a GUN in the dressing room. There were a few other employees...

    Governor Hochul Signs ‘Medical Aid in Dying Act’, Bringing Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide to Troubled New York State

    The dirty little secret in the medical field is that this has been going on for decades. Not for things like depression and anxiety like in Canada currently, but done in the confines of a home with doctor "supervision". This is extremely common, I have first hand experience. Through a lot of...

    According to Mark Smith, at least one of the two "assault weapon" cases that SCOTUS will be hearing contains detachable mags, pistol grips, barrel shrouds....and everything else. This was the thing ive been saying for years. An assault weapon alone case won't work for us, assault weapons are...

    Heavily Armed Suspect Arrested at Trump National Golf Course Ahead of President’s Visit

    Hey, I knew a guy who was the president of the Iron Coffin motorcycle club in NW Pennsylvania. His name was Courtney. And he did NOT like being called Court!

    Bodycam shows Connecticut officer repeatedly ordering bat-wielding suspect to stop before fatal shooting - Why we need more than 10 round mags !

    Well, I got some new information today about my sister and her pistol permit. Apparently shes the typical clueless moron in NYS. (She's really not, but this is funny) Today we were talking about her permit. I asked if she has done a recertification yet. She says, "what's that?".....ugg. I asked...

    Bodycam shows Connecticut officer repeatedly ordering bat-wielding suspect to stop before fatal shooting - Why we need more than 10 round mags !

    Last year my sister got her premises permit but had never fired a gun....ever....at 58 years old. So she came out to my house to try a few guns. She was a beast, she fired everything from 22lr to 44 magnum. While we were going up the caliber line, she fired a couple 9mm and liked the feel. Then...

    Bodycam shows Connecticut officer repeatedly ordering bat-wielding suspect to stop before fatal shooting - Why we need more than 10 round mags !

    I completely agree, that's why my $100 is pretty safe. :) But, ive shot many animals with many rounds. Good 10mm rounds do a lot more damage than 9mm, not just a little, a LOT. Its just a bigger hole, goes deeper generally, and cares less about bone, muscle and tendons. Where a 9mm may be...

    Bodycam shows Connecticut officer repeatedly ordering bat-wielding suspect to stop before fatal shooting - Why we need more than 10 round mags !

    There have been many videos which helped sway me toward 10mm over 9mm. But the #1 video is an old one on ASP. A 65 year old guy gets shot FOURTEEN times by cops using 9mm. It took 4 cops to get him in handcuffs. He died an hour later at the hospital. Ill give anyone here $100 if they can find a...

    I should add some context to this. HE was in the police car, he was brought to us as a stray with a broken leg. That was 2015, his name is Zero. :) Here he is today, 11 years later. Still looking dapper at 12ish years old.

    I honestly think hes just a local no nothing. Probably lived here in the boonies his whole life, and doesn't understand the real world. What I wanted to tell him, but didn't want to waste the words, was that the odds of needing a handgun for self defense against a human are very low, but not...

    I Met My First Super Fudd Yesterday!

    I found it odd at this particular range. Its the Falconer Rod and Gun in Falconer NY. The members there are very self defense oriented, and they hold a lot of self defense classes there, and the NYS pistol permit classes. Many of the members are younger. I could see this at the Jamestown Rifle...

    Buck is another good one. Their Chinese stuff is blah, but their USA stuff is pretty good, but WAY overpriced. They also have some quality control issues I hear they are working on. They recently started using Magnacut in place of their 425m steel on some models. Even though Buck has the BOS...

    NYC DSA Co-Chair, spewing the Socialist agenda

    I can make the same argument for many things, like welfare. If you can't afford to feed your kids, maybe you shouldn't be allowed to have kids. If you can't pay your rent, maybe you shouldn't have a home. If you can't afford health insurance, maybe you should just be sick. If you are unable to...

    Third Circuit Rules NJ Assault Weapons Ban Unconstitutional

    Undoubtedly NYS already has an army of tax payer funded lawyers drawing up multiple ways to infringe on our rights after a positive decision in this case. Like ive said before, these cases don't even apply to me. Ive never owned an MSR, and DIDN'T plan on ever buying one. Im really just into...
