Re: Guns at home with a young family
The two we have left at home are boys 18 and 16. We do not lock the safe while we are in the house but I would not trust them while they are home alone, after all, they are teenagers. They have been taught gun safety for a lot of years but they are teenagers. Now, on the wife thing, sounds like some...

Re: Do you carry at home?
While I'm not Lynyrd and you didn't ask me, I will tell you what I do. At night I have a fairly obnoxious blue heeler with alpha issues with people she doesn't know sleeping beside the bed. Any sound not normal in or outside of our house at night, she goes ape-poop. She will wake me with plenty of ...

Re: Freedom Munitions Ammo Issue

Re: Do you carry at home?
Nope. We live in a small rural town in the Pineywoods. Should someone come unannounced to the door after dark, they will be cordially met by me with my Compact 1911 by my side. I think we'd be long gone from any location that required me to walk around the house/yard with a gun on my person. Requir...

Re: What calibers do you carry ?
9mm currently. Thinking about trying my 1911 .45 I want a Ruger SP101 .357 which probably would be my edc. I really like a wheel gun in .357

Re: Do you carry at home?
My caveat, of course is that I live in a very quiet, low-crime suburban neighborhood. Perhaps if I lived out in the country, I might feel different about it. I live out in the country. My house is 1/4 mile back in the trees off of a black top road, and I'm 30 miles from the nearest LEO response (un...

Re: Removing the penalty for carrying past a 30 06 sign?
Really people?!?!? If a business puts up 06 and or 07 signs THEY DO NOT WANT YOU BUSINESS!!! Why on God's green earth do you still want to give them your hard earned money? I swear, I do not understand some of you.

There's more than one of us around here that like the PPS, so you'd be in good company if you do decide t...

Re: Glock 43 Recoil vs Glock 19
My wife purse carries also and has a CC purse with a dedicated pocket for carry. She was carrying a Shield but it is a little to square for easy draw. We picked up a LC9S that draws really smooth because of the rounded corners. I would think any Glock would have the same issues as the Shield with pu...

Re: Belton woman held up in parking lot of Wal-Mart.
“If I had been carrying I would've had two options,” McGibney says. “Holster the weapon or carry it in my purse. If it had been in my purse I never would've been able to get to it. My wife purse carries and I can't get her to IWB or OWB. Although, she wears scrubs 3 days a week, that would be diffi...

Re: 30.06/30.07 confusion
Could the reason signs have been popping up everywhere be that there is a misunderstanding of the meaning of the two signs. I came up to our neighborhood convenience store and saw a 30.06 posted, but the laundry place next to it is 30.07 posted. They are owned by the same person, I know the guy. I ...

Re: Debating on a new 1911
I have several Colts and a Kimber Crimson Carry but unfortunately no Springfield 1911s yet. Both my Colts and Kimber are very reliable and accurate and I carry the Kimber regularly. I have put a lot of rounds down the tube and have never experienced any of the Kimber horror stories that I see aroun...

Re: Why a 1911?
Well since this topic has been wrecked with everyone telling what they have, here's what I have. Colt 80 series commander and a Colt 1991A1, early model but not the parkerized one. Neither has had any custom work, both .45 just basic 1911s. I've had the commander since the early 90s and the 1991A1 j...

Re: Misconceptions
I have thought all along that the increase in 30.06 signs were because most people, individuals and businesses alike, had no clue people were CCing around them and in their businesses until the LE presentations. People seemed to think, probably still do, that anyone could strap on a handgun and hit ...

Re: Misconceptions
We woke up a lot of people. No, we woke the LEOs, they woke all the businesses with their infomercials explaining 30.07 AND 30.06. This is the first I've heard of this. . . do you have any more info? Where were the infomercials run? Which LEO groups? This is very disturbing to hear. . . Infomercial...
