?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!???!!!!

M-16s are Class III weapons, which means that the only freely transferable copies are those that were already in civilian hands before 1986. There's a shop in DFW that has an A1 (no A2s currently, I'm afraid) for $26,000.

I think the point is that shooting them for breaking in is "punishment" or "vigilante justice", and one is only supposed to shoot to avoid harm. The cops are trying to cut this guy some slack by saying he had reason to shoot, to eliminate a continuing threat to the rest of his f...

Yes, thank you, that was exactly what I was trying to ask.

Needless to say, the thought of a handgun that would offer some protection when there is more than one BG is right up there on my list. Useing a long gun (12 guage shotgun) would not be practical for my situation. In that case, I'd suggest that The Judge™ is not the best choice. It's too big and bu...

For curiosities sake, may I ask why, specifically?

Do any of you have experience with either DTI's (John Farnham) Basic/Intermediate Defensive Handgun course or Gabe Suarez[s Close Rannge Gunfighting as taught by Glenn Mathews? Both are coming up shortly around this area. I would like to take one but don't know enough about the people involved to m...

Yeah...I'm pretty sure that ad is fake. I've found another job ad purportedly by the same same company, and this one is far closer to what I would expect to see. http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/sec/794965608.html Security Agent / Customer Service FT/ PT (IAD Airport) Global Security Associate...

Well, the company is certainly real, but I have to say that I'm a bit wary of the ad. From the GSA website: Our employees are Global Security Associates. They are the greatest and most valuable asset of the company. Whether in customer or non-customer facing roles, we recognize that all of our emplo...

That's a great story, and a good reminder that I need to update my master list of serial numbers to add a couple of recent purchases.

BOTH are necessary! It's just a question of getting them in the right order. 1. You must have a reasonable fear BEFORE being justified in using deadly force. No reasonable fear, no justification for deadly force. So "feared for life" is a necessity. Not to re-hash the thread Jim linked to...

I could NEVER support giving a license without a background check. Then you run the risk of letting convicted felons carry, even if only for 30-60 days. Bad Idea IMO. I'm pretty sure that convicted felons who decide they want to carry, assuming they still tend towards criminal behaviour (the only o...

I respectfully disagree. The hands-on demonstration that you can at least shoot should be a MINIMUM requirement. As it is, there are still alot of folks that have had "training" and I wouldn't trust them with a dull butter-knife. And I disagree with that. That's just a watered-down versio...

Personally, from a philosophical view, I'm in favor of the Alaskan model. No license needed to carry concealed at all. New Hampshire isn't *too* terribly bad either...Fill in the form, give them $10, presto-change-o you have a license. I also wouldn't be opposed to a two-tier system, where one tier ...

Yikes. This could happen to anyone. <Shrug /> Anyone could be hit in the head by a meteorite too. That aside, I'm sure not going to try and make a determination about who was right and who was wrong from a 5 second video clip. Do you really think it's a good idea to use a weapon against a police of...
