Re: NRA Defensive Pistol (Jan 27)
Interested in this but weather is not looking good. Lots of rain this week and TDSA is notorious for being muddy and holding water for a while after rain. I'll message you here shortly.

Re: No place but Mexico

Re: Ban on guns in post offices is unconstitutional, US judge rules
This can't change soon enough. I don't go to the post office to often, but whenever I do I generally have to go inside. Disarmed Chances are very high nothing bad will happen inside but getting to the post office is probably my main issue as you cannot even be armed in the parking lot.

Re: Don’t have bank apps on your phone
As always, situational awareness is your friend. I won't go as far as to not have banking apps on my phone. Not sure how two-factor will help if that second factor is going to your phone via text message or email. Who doesn't have their email available on their smart phone? Safest bet is to get a no...

Re: Arlington Parks Mall Shooting
Even thugs have 2A rights until convicted of a crime. Last time I read the 2A it didn't mention thugs or thugless people. Being a thug, jerk, dunce, idiot, fool, dolt, or blockhead doesn't disqualify a citizen from their 2A right to carry a firearm. Unless they were convicted of a crime. We'll like...

Re: Arlington Parks Mall Shooting
I may be wrong, but thugs like these aren't incentivized by permit-less carry laws. True but certainly clears up the grey area of who is legal to carry or not i.e. background check for License To Carry and some thug "who is of age" and wants to carry a gun because he feels he has the righ...

Re: Arlington Parks Mall Shooting
Sigh. Another reason why I'm not a fan of constitutional carry. I actually go to this mall, and Northpark, fairly often as far as malls go. But strictly for the movie theater. I only go during the day and almost always a matinee showing. Never at night.

Re: New Problem! M1A or M1 Carbine
I'm biased but I say the Carbine. Although it's hard to hate on a .308 caliber battle rifle, it's hard to argue the utility of the Carbine with it's light weight and recoil. I got my dad's Carbine when he passed away. I remember when he bought it, he was so happy having been carried one (and a M3 &q...

Re: Carjacking fail (WARNING GRAPHIC/LANGUAGE)
I’m just amazed at the speed at which, a threat is identified and the first bullets are fired. I’d still be at, “hey why is that guy in a hurry”. And are mini vans now the big target for carjackers. I'm not but no idea on the mindset of the good guy. In my mind, I'm hyper vigilant in that sort of s...

Re: Opinions needed please
Aother option might be a Beretta A300. It is almost like the 1301, but a lot less money. I was just going to mention the A300 Patrol would be a great readily available and affordable buy. I have the 1301 my person, not "Langdonized" but slowly putting it together myself with his component...

Re: Deputy Shot - Return 12 Rounds of Fire
I call them malfunction drills and they are absolutely vital. I have found that even after initial training in malfunction drills (like tap-rack-assess in NRA Defensive Pistol) that students are actually slow to execute them. My advanced marksmanship class involves practicing immediate action drill...

Re: Deputy Shot - Return 12 Rounds of Fire
Whew. I would hope I would be able to act accordingly in a high stress situation like that but hope I never have to. I've done plenty of training (Gunsite, Thunder Ranch, Rangemaster) in the hopes to be able to handle situations like this. Unfortunately I do not think LEO's get anywhere near enough ...

Re: Carjacking fail (WARNING GRAPHIC/LANGUAGE)
The intended victim must have had his gun in his lap. He had great situational awareness and engaged multiple threats immediately. He'll need a new windshield, but those are a lot easier to get than a complete vehicle, or a new life. Bravo sir! SIA Obviously in a bad part of town. The very few time...
