She probably thought you were a LEO and was going to hassle her.

It appears that the majority so far would like the "option"...Like me... The (I'm not going to say they are a minority opinion...far from it) folks who don't like the idea of open carry, have valid points as well... Over the years I have been following this issue...I have noticed that the...

While one may be "tipping his hand" with open carry, I would think the thug would look to someone else to attack. Which looks more inviting to a wolf? A walking sheep, or a bag full of gristle? It would be nice for civilians to at least have the option. glenn Ever hear of a sucker punch? ...

It seems the younger officers are more concerned with it than the older ones. you got that backwards. the higher your rank goes, the more anti and liberal your politics become. we have 22 year old officers who don't understand why someone wouldn't carry a gun and high ranking decrepit officers who ...

Remington Golden Saber. (Not really, but it is what DPS carries) Why do you say that Golden Saber is not really self defense ammo? Technically, any ammo you use to save your life is self defense ammo. Be it ball, cast, hollowpoint, soft point, etc. PMC Frangibles, Hydra-Shocks, Corbons, & Glase...

I think a shot between the eyes will take care of pretty much anything that breathes. And take a shot at it??? That, I would pay money to see muh man!!! Me??? Oh you're too kind... I'll stand as far away from it as I can and lob a grenade in its general direction...I'm ok with that... Its either th...

Thanks alot! So - what are some examples of defensive ammo? nick .45 ACP 230gr. JHP Corbon, Federal Hydra-Shok, Glaser Safety Slug, Remington Golden Saber. (Not really, but it is what DPS carries) Rule #1 of a gunfight: Be someplace else. Rule #2 of a gunfight: If you can't be someplace else, bring...

Gives a whole new meaning to "long arm of the law".

Glad to hear all turned out ok.

Charles, all, A local talk show host briefly touched on a point talking about this tragedy last Friday. It got me to thinking over the weekend. Where is it written in the US Bill of Rights, or the US Constitution that the Bill of Rights are age dependent? Why is it that the 1st, and 3rd thru the 10t...

It's the epitome of hypocrisy It seems to be all some of these "celebrities" know. When I saw this story a little happy dance was in order. :D Little dance? More like an old fashioned square dance. :D Cut a rug! Sorry, after the way Rosie O'pig blindsided Tom Selleck and had her bodyguard...

It does seem like justice however, New York DAs have been requiring airlines notify law enforcement when a traveller declares they have a firearm in their baggage. This declaration is required under FAA regulations. When the airlines notify LE, the traveller is arrested and held on violation of New...

Again, I am not expressing an opinion as to the whether these devices are legal in Texas. I have my personal opinion, as opposed to a professional opinion, and I certainly have great concerns in the civil arena where I practice. Admittedly, I'm more concerned about an accidental gassing of an innoc...

The intent of Section 9.44 is not to prevent the use of deadly force (defined to include serious bodily injury) when it is warranted, but to prevent its automatic use without a human determining it is warranted. For example, if the person entering your property had asthma or another respiratory con...

Let me start off by saying I'm not a lawyer - and I don't play one on the internet- ( I stole that from someone on this forum, I think). For instance if you were threatened and you can drive off in your car but you decide to step out and escalate the confrontation to where you have to use your gun ...

Do any southpaws shoot IDPA, and if so, how do you handle tactical reloads? Specifically thinking of 1911 type semi's with the mag release accessible from a right handers grip. Wanting to get an H&K USP Compact Variant 2 because of the mag release being under the trigger guard and the safety &am...
