Re: Would banning firearms reduce murder and suicide?

Absolutely. I did not mean to ruffle feathers. The article itself has good information.

Re: Would banning firearms reduce murder and suicide?

I know that showing that to an anti will do absolutely nothing to change their minds, but one can only hope. If we can save at least one, it will be worth it. "rlol" Unfortunately the antis are controlled by emotions. It is what they feel that is true. Facts have nothing to do with anythi...

Re: Would banning firearms reduce murder and suicide?

Reading that almost made me throw up. Behind the great intentions of the NRA, they are still a special interest group. That smelled of propaganda from the first sentence. Is it so hard to fight this fight without sounding like big brother? The emails I received from the Obama campaign (after registe...

I carried an ESEE-4 for a while before I misplaced it. Solid knife but a little too big for normal use.

Re: So is this McDonald's employee a hero or a criminal

Completely different. He ran away, crisis averted. It damages one's ego, but let the justice system handle it. A place of business is not your castle. The moment he retreated the threat was over. The fact that he would have been justified in defending himself is irrelevant because of his choice to ...

Re: So is this McDonald's employee a hero or a criminal

Man enters your house after dark, hits you, you retreat, grab a fireplace tool and hit the intruder. You hit the intruder after he has fallen to the ground. Your internal video system captures you doing this. Are you guilty of a crime in Texas? (remember you could have just opened up with your shot...

Re: So is this McDonald's employee a hero or a criminal

From the information provided I think he was justified in defending himself, but not retreating and returning to the scene with a club. That is certainly some interesting journalism. The author admits the women attacked first and has no compassion for the cashier.

Re: Can you???

I actually tried practicing that once. That and switching the safety off (1911) with only my left hand. Not the easiest of tasks. There are only so many contingencies I plan for and that's not one of them.

Re: Brady Campaign VS Rick Perry

I needed a good laugh. In the report they list 10 reasons to be alarmed by Rick Perry. Item number 1: "Rick Perry appears to be the type of politician that takes lightly the dangers of carrying loaded guns into public spaces..." I don't know about you guys, but when I'm trying to make a po...
