    HomeDepot anti-gun policy

    At DuPont, I can have a gun in my vehicle on their parking lot. I can not have it inside the plant, which I feel safer that it isn't allowed. Imagine what a negligent discharge could do in a chemical plant! At a local Lowe's, my dad saw a guy open carry into the store, get assistance and check...

    Do Christians Smoke Weed?

    I believe a Christian can drink alcohol, although I choose not to drink it. What the Bible says is to not be drunken. It is a sin to drink to the point of being drunk. Smoking Marijuana is likened to being drunken. I believe the intent is to not lose your inhibitions, which will lead to sin. We...

    One in chamber? Yes / No

    How is a chambered semi automatic different from a full revolver? It isn't, except the trigger pull may be a little lighter than a double action revolver. Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

    .45 ACP or .357 Magnum

    I don't want a magazine disconnect. I always check the chamber when removing the magazine anyway. A magazine safety would not change that habit and I wouldn't want it to since it could lead to bad habits with a non magazine protected gun. Another reason is if the magazine drops accidentally, I...

    Ruger SP101 3" barrel IWB holster Recommendation

    I have Milt Sparks as a possibility too. They are up to around 4 to 6 months lead time. Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

    Ruger SP101 3" barrel IWB holster Recommendation

    I emailed Crossbreed and the 3" will fit and extend past the holster. I prefer the barrel to be covered personally. Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

    And now a message about personal responsibility

    I was unemployed after a plant closure and tirelessly looked for a job while collecting unemployment. I found the job and unemployment compensation stopped. Those on career Welfare paths are still not working. Worse yet, I had to pay state tax on my unemployment, which was 20% of my prior salary...

    National CCW?

    I don't want the Federal government involved. Leave the power with the states and reciprocity of CCW permits. Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

    .45 ACP or .357 Magnum

    I agree. I also don't want to spend that much money for the first gun. I am thinking M&P or sp101 revolver. With that said, I won't carry the first few weeks I have the permit until I have put at least a few hundred rounds through the gun. I am an engineer and treat anything the same in that I...

    .45 ACP or .357 Magnum

    Looking at the NRA range site and local phone book, there is no Charleston WV indoor shooting range. There is one outdoor range and they do not rent. I did find a range that rents, but they are three hours away from me. Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

    .45 ACP or .357 Magnum

    Thanks! I have googled many times and never found this. I pass through Charleston every day on the way to work, so it is close enough. I will give them a call. Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

    .45 ACP or .357 Magnum

    What I meant when I said no one rents around me was just as it sounds. No ranges around me rent guns. Worst case is I buy the gun I want and can't conceal it. I still have the gun I want that I would buy anyway, so I am only out for the holster. I am 6'1", 194 pounds (working down to 175...

    .45 ACP or .357 Magnum

    I would really love a SW1911sc or a full size 1911. I just don't want to spend money on a gun and find I can't conceal it well, since it will be a while before I buy another one. I also don't want a tiny gun since they do not fit my hand well. This is what is making the decision so hard along...

    .45 ACP or .357 Magnum

    I am more concerned with it being concealable than its recoil. With that said, I don't want a 15 ounce .357 magnum, if you know what I mean. Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

    .45 ACP or .357 Magnum

    The SW1911sc weighs a little more than the M&P, so I would expect it to be similar or less recoil. I am getting the chance to shoot my friend's M&P .40 shield. That should give me a indication of the recoil. Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

    .45 ACP or .357 Magnum

    So do you all recommend I get a SW1911sc or the M&P 45c? I do not like Glock grips for some reason. Maybe it is the angle. Keep in mind it will be the first gun I own and I will be a rookie at CCW when my permit is issued in three weeks or less. I do plan to practice with either gun and if it is...

    .45 ACP or .357 Magnum

    I am looking for opinions on a .45 ACP semi automatic versus a .357 magnum revolver for concealed carry. I can see the merits for both, but am having a hard time deciding. I think the recoil on a .357 magnum is more noticeable than that of a .45 ACP. This isn't meant to be a semi auto versus...
