" Oh yeah...as of now I "car carry" and I don't want to be without it. My pistol saved my bacon last week ." WOW- I read the copied story farther up the chain here that led to this discussion being posted. I'm with David, I wouldn't go ANYWHERE in public without that weapon- espe...

Copied directly from my "Introduce yourself" post : Now if I can just find a way to take baby steps towards making my wife comfortable with firearms... maybe someday she can start carrying, too! Will post shortly in the Ladies General section eliciting suggestions, feel free to stop by if...

Shootsir, Yes that is the U.S. Military policy. I agree with you on this, but that decision is way above my payrgrade. The Marines always took good care of me. Man, but you are in a combat zone- with actual combatants! Has it always been policy for chaplains? Shame....and yes, I'm quite certain the...

My final decision came after returning from a tour of duty in Iraq. Over many years I had been in situations where I should have been carrying... After returning from Iraq, it struck me as odd that I was less secure here than I was in a combat zone. I am a chaplain which means I cannot carry a weap...

For me it was the morning I left early for work, before sun up, and decided to head to my local ATM machine. I was driving the wife's car, a Honda Civic, which sits very low to the ground. I was pulling my cash from the machine when a deep voice behind my left ear asked if I had any spare change. Th...

It may be late, but it's still up and running. Wonder why?

Bless 'em all, I say!

What a great story- and you should count yourself lucky that a true hero actually took the time
to share his story with you. I'm still waiting ...

Received an email today from a trusted friend urging me to read the following note and click on the USA Today link/poll. The questions they are asking is: "Please vote this gun issue question with USA Today. It will only take a few seconds of your time. Then pass the link on to all the pro gun...

"So if someone gave you $2300 dollars (give or take) with the stipulation that it had to be spent on a gov't sized 1911 from Nighthawk, Ed Brown, Les Baer or Wilson, which company/model would you go with?" Man, oh man! What a dilemma to have. Though I like the companies you mention, I'm a ...

I am about the same size as you and this holster works GREAT for me. I hide my 5" Kimber with the use of a loose button up shirt with an undershirt tucked in. I can even use a regular loose (but not too baggy) T-shirt with little noticable buldge http://www.andrewsleather.com McDaniels II http...

Texas doesn't have a "printing" law. As stated before, the only thing you would need to worry about is "failure to conceal". Since no gun is visible, I'd say your safe from arrest, but you still may get visited. The sheeple get scared easily. This is correct, but there is someth...

"What a bad day for them" Everybody and his brother done told 'em to get rid of that infernal lock. I don't know about anyone else, but when they made their deal with the Clinton Administration many years ago, I vowed to never own one of these guns- or any of their products. Many other mo...

So lemme get this straight...You asked a Fibbie how fast he could draw. He gave you some line out of a bad Hollyweird flick, and then you ended up looking down the barrel of a forty-five as he demonstrated his skill? Sorry dude, but me and that Fibbie would had to take a trip to the hospital to get...

I saw a piece about that on tv. He started training for that and other gun handling about 6 months before filming began. Then his instructor was with him throughout the filming. He pulled it off like we see it, on his own. sorry, not enough coffee this morning to recall the instructor's name. I onc...

So he introduces another dichotomy to split the vote. He can get the rural voters to vote for him because he believes in THEIR Second Amendment rights, and still decry the lack of gun control in urban areas. This is classic "bait-and-switch" politics from the Left's playbook. HE didn't sa...
