.22 for self defense?
I think there are two main points with a .22 handgun as a defensive weapon. (1) Often times it is the sight of a gun that will scare an attacker into retreating. Nobody wants to get shot, so seeing a weapon, even a small one, pointed at your chest tends to trigger the fight or flight response...- Faiden

Arming Teachers to Protect Students
I completely agree. I've never understood the argument that teachers and/or students shouldn't be allowed to carry. If they have their permit and are allowed to have a weapon on them in the store, on the street, and in a movie theater, why not a school? Is the concern that, by crossing the...- Faiden

Looking to get a new concealed carry gun
Any time someone tells me they're looking for a 9mm carry weapon, I always suggest taking a look at the M&P Shield. Small, lightweight, and reliable--though you will sacrifice capacity if you're coming from a Glock. -

Factory Sights... WHY?!
I really didn't realize people we venomously opposed to factory sights. Granted, I'm not doing a lot of shooting at great distances, but I've never felt my Shield's factory sights have been any disadvantage at all. -

Round in Chamber
Always one in the chamber. If I draw my weapon, it is because I truly believe I am seconds away from being killed. Racking the slide requires two hands and 1 - 2 seconds. I can't guarantee that I'll have that either of those when I need the weapon the most.- Faiden

Is there really a need to explain why?
There are very few people who know I carry. I've just never seen an advantage to telling people. I've only been asked once why and I simply responded that I do it because if I ever find myself in a life or death struggle, I won't have time to wait for the police.- Faiden

Opinions Please Pawn Shop vs LGS
I tend to be hesitant when it comes to pawn shops. That being said, as long as you feel confident in your ability to identify problems with a weapon, you should be good. As for the sales people, they'll probably have some basic information on weapons in the store, but nothing that you couldn't...- Faiden

Gun tropes that bug you in games/movies/TV
Pointing any gun causes a "chik" sound. A particularly bad one I saw recently was when the camera followed a round that had been fired from a rifle... well, apparently the round gets expelled out the barrel, casing and all. Who knew.- Faiden

I hadn't heard about this, thanks for the heads up! Luckily, mine does not seem to have this problem! -

Trying out several handguns
Good luck choosing your handgun! It's a big decision, so take your time. Not sure about where to rent (just moved here myself), but if you get the chance, take a look at the M&P Shield! It's a fantastic little shooter. -

Why are so many people scared of "cocked and locked"?
Like others have said, most fear surrounding guns comes from a lack of understanding. Really, if you didn't understand the platform, it could look very unsafe. Not saying it's right, but I understand why someone could be nervous. Personally, I would never carry a weapon that wasn't ready to...
