    A rallying point for Pro-Gun liberals

    Everyone, Many months ago, soon after the birth of USACarry.com, I started a thread where I talked about my support of the 2nd amendment as a liberal. It's still filed in the 2nd amendment forum, under "Left liberal socialist pinkos" I believe. Anyway, as a result of the feedback I gained, I...

    ishi says hello

    Hi everybody. My wife and I have recovered pretty well from our car accident, although I probably won't ever go on long hikes in the woods again. The doctors rebuilt my heel and I can walk on it fine in a normal everyday sort of way. Running or jogging isn't possible though, and I can only...

    Finally out of the hospital

    So my wife and I were nearly home on the 13th of December when a car in the opposing lanes of the highway jumped the divider and hit us head-on. Our air bags deployed and thanks to our seat belts, we stayed in the car. The passenger door was open when I regained consciousness. The impact...

    Favorite Gun-saturated video games

    I know we've got a lot of old farts in here, but I know there are enough folks from the Atari generation that some people have favorite games. I played Rainbow Six: Vegas for several months before tiring of it. The multiplayer was enjoyable, but it did get old eventually. The gun models were...

    Don't taze me, sonny?

    Here's an interesting one: Chicago police Link Removedwho was swinging a hammer. Sure, swinging a hammer at cops is a bad idea... I have to wonder how hard is it to disarm a 82-year old? I don't know, maybe she was a very sprightly octogenarian? :confused:

    Doom 'n Gloom

    This is ishi's Doom 'n Gloom thread. Oil prices just hit $94 and they're climbing higher every day. US refinery capacities are at their limit, no new refineries are being built, and any drop in production means huge spikes in Gas prices. The Canadian dollar is worth $1.07 US and our...

    Okay, so I know I said that the CZ P-01 was the home defense pistol, but I've been thinking about getting a .357 mag revolver. They look so... er. :o Okay, I don't need one, but still. Who makes a good one that won't break the bank?

    Opinions on Streamlight TLR-1

    I've got this rail on my CZ P01, and I've had my eye on the TLR-1 rail light. But, it's expensive and we all know that there are always other purchases that are tugging at the heartstrings. My question is: should I stick with my little handheld, or go for the $100 tactical ninja light? Is it...

    Standardizing on Calibres

    I've given thought to standardizing the calibres that I use, instead of buying one of each calibre, and ending up with all different types of ammo. Do you guys standardize, or are you ammo omnivores? If you've standardized, what did you decide on, and why?

    UK: Police state measures

    Here's a good example of the kind of invasive policing we can look forward to if we follow the UK's "enlightened" policies... To stop what they call "Gun and knife crime" (otherwise known as "violence"), the police now have the power to "stop and search" folks as they see fit. The reasoning...
