Re: HIgh Tech South American gangs breaking into expensive homes
There have been some very interesting studies on what will deter a criminal. Visible signs of an alarm (especially the alarm junction box, but just a sign works) are high on the list, as are dogs. The funny thing is that what actually works best is something we all try to avoid - the nosy neighbor. ...

Re: Deputy Shot - Return 12 Rounds of Fire
The Force Science Institute has done some very interesting studies on the time it takes between recognizing a threat and actually shooting at it, plus how hard it it to change your mind once the decision to shoot has been made. If there is ever a question on why you shot someone after they "wer...

Re: Deputy Shot - Return 12 Rounds of Fire
Legal question. When he was shooting at the suspect as the suspect ran away if he had hit him in the back would this be a different story since the shooter was running away? Was there still a threat? Of course all of this is Monday morning quarterbacking. In the case of a police officer, they can u...

Re: The war with Iran
Tomorrow at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade will be the first opportunity since October 7 for anyone inside the US border with enough financing to travel to New York to express their feelings on live television and potentially disrupt a symbolic Christian and totally American event. I hope the gover...

Re: Defensive carry/trigger enhancement kits
I have never been nor ever will go into a conflict or where there may be a conflict with a sidearm that has non-factory internals. A lot of research time and money went into design of trigger internals that would mesh into the overall design & function, more so with pistols designed with combat...

Re: Can the government take your guns in an emergency?
You guys are talking about rules and laws . Unfortunately our current government doesn't seem to be bothered about such trivial things. If he tries to get my guns, I am going to have a Viking funeral. I am sure I will lose in the long run, but there will be lots of bodies of my enemies to bury at m...

Re: Mean streets of Dallas - Texas State Fair shooting
The State Fair allows Licensed Concealed Carry. They do not allow open carry or permitless carry. We were down there a couple of weeks ago. As you enter you go through a metal detector. I showed the attendant my LTC card and he, politely, escorted me to the police officer. The officer looked at my ...

Re: TX:The mean streets of Houston - murderer free on bond, because he needs haircut
The weapon is irrelevant to the robbery. Among other things, PC 29.02 defines robbery as if a person threatens the victim or places the victim in fear of imminent injury during a theft. PC 9.42 allows for the use of deadly force to stop someone from from fleeing after committing a robbery. If the i...
