    did something to a hi-point?? show it off

    I generally tend to agree with buy all the tool you can afford. As a carpenter, I generally own Milwaukee or Bosch, some DeWalt. Bought my Hi-point because it seemed to be well built and I did not want an Egyptian Hi-power copy. That was 11 years ago. I have put 10 to 12 boxes of ammo...

    The Open Carry Argument

    I agree completely. I am not trying to puff myself up here at all. I never once felt uncomfortable with carry, open or otherwise. I also carried with a round chambered, cocked and locked from the beginning. I think anyone scared of carrying without chambering a round should also rethink...

    To Chamber or Not to Chamber?

    I can not believe this is still an issue. If you carry a gun without chambering a round, leave it at home. Unless: Too right you are. When I first got into shooting, a friend, a retired Army Ranger had the same sage advice for me. He taught me safety, safety, safety first. Think...

    Has anyone here ever drawn their weapon?

    I've been close twice. Both on my property. My dogs eyeballed three perps one night late and let me in on the party. I let Mickey circle behind while I went to go talk to them. They were up on a house boat stored on the property and when I got a good look at them, it was two middle aged...
