Had my first somewhat serious confrontation situation in a long time last evening. I arrived into our Church gym/social hall last night to find the current "Leader" of our Christian Men's Group (75 years old, if a day) in a shouting contest (screaming ??) with the two coaches of the Church...

Over two years ago I applied for membership in the DPRC organization. (They had been actively recruiting at the Greensboro Gun shows for YEARS!) My wife and I applied, thinking all was well and fine and on the up and up.... only to be told that there was a two year "waiting list". Since I had...

Could it be that the NRA simply picks and chooses the battles it gets into? Having the wisdom to discern the difference. You see, a legal battle won here sets a precedence for a similar case elsewhere. All things being equal (which they most assuredly are NOT) it should mean something in the...

Hell, son.... Print 'em up and sell 'em! GG

To be captioned: "Spread out, ya FNGs! One grenade or bobby trap will get you both!" (DOH!) GG

NO ONE gets to know if I am carrying. Except, an LEO interacting with me in the line of duty. It's the Law. I don't have to necessarily agree or "like" it, but that's the way of it. The only difference between a BG and a CCW gunslinger is that the CCW type generally tries to comply with the...

Got a topic I would like to see discussed. Everyone seems to like the laser "trace" targeting aids. Well.... some people do. My personal feelings on the matter are two: 1) I, personally, find them distracting. I was taught marksmanship with the ideal sight picture being focused on the front...

Which did NOT quantitatively answer my question. I can summarize this under "expected answer" "1" AND "2", then? GG

Looking for commentary on the .327 Fed Mag. Have seen good reviews in the "gun media" on them..... but I always figure they are trying to sell me something. Would prefer outside opinions. (More than mere curiosity, I carry the Ruger SP 101 in .357 during warm weather [easy to conceal]. .327...

I picked up a Taurus PT 92 (9mm) just recently, (no papers with it, 2nd hand deal, good price) bought a third mag for it right off the bat. Wife likes it because it is the singular auto we own that she can "rack" with no sweat. (Go figure. She finds the "Cannon" easy, but her 9mm Beretta and my...

Looks like a night camo version of "robocop"...... can you imagine doing an eight hour shift in this heat in THAT getup? Robocop. Robocop. Hard to defeat. Not to worry, He'll go down not from bullets, but from heat! GG

I can never quite twist my head or thinking around quite enough to generate "sympathetic feelings" for BGs "dispatched" by Citizens defending themselves. Case in point: While "poking around" the internet for "State News", I came across a story wherein four malcreants attempted a "home invasion"...

One of my fellow State Citizens (I won't go into details out of respect for his family) managed to kill himself recently. While showing his friends his new .22 cal pistol and demonstrating the safety, he showed how the gun would not fire with the safety on. He then showed them how the slide...

I had occasion to talk to Dan Engle (State Rep, Alamance Co.) today and he informs me that the NC version of the Castle Doctrine was passed and signed by "Bev" this past week. He had a copy of the final bill and though we didn't go through it line by line, we did examine the part where those...

I'm a bit curious (due to postings on another thread) as to the ins and outs of "Reality" situations of accidental printing and exposure while CC. I think I would like not only what the LAW says, but incident reports along the lines of "it happened to me!" also. I know I shouldn't be, but I...
