      Shooting someone out of anger or fear

      I was talking with my non gun friend. We somehow made it to the topic of shooting a person in defense. He tells me that he would have to be "very angry" at someone to ever be able to shoot (and potentially kill) that person. I found this quite shocking actually. My response was that if the...

      Observations of a first time gun show attendee (who doesn't like guns)

      I took a trip to Chicago and was heading back down I-65 on Saturday morning. There happened to be a gun show in Valparaiso. Since I was sort of “passing by,” I wanted to stop. With me was my non (nearly anti) gun friend. I told him I was going to the show (I was driving) and opted to drop...

      How would you evaluate a situation where you prepare to draw your weapon?

      Recently I had an odd situation. I wanted to have Sunday brunch and walk a bit. Around 1 p.m., I leave brunch and head to my vehicle. Normally, this time of day on Sunday is real quiet downtown. Ahead of me was a man behaving strangely. He had his shorts half way down his butt, shirt off...

      Do men really have a "privilege of guns?"

      This blog was sent to me by an internet feminist I know. It is very extreme and I didn't give much credibility to it. Something new I notice of "male privileges" was point 66. "And even when women do get access to guns, they are typically steered towards sh*ttier, misfire-prone weapons that...

      Can a person really "have it all" with one pistol?

      I often see a posting (here and other sites) of someone looking for their first pistol serving as home defense, carry, and range fun. Personally, I would want 2: a full size for the range and HD, then a sub compact for carry. Can one gun do it all?

      If your stolen mobile device was located at X and the police won't help....

      I saw an article today, but lost track of it and I don't remember the state (Colorado maybe?). A man had his car broken into and a backpack stolen. He made an initial police report. Then he located the the iPad via the location service on it and called the police to give them the address. He...

      +1 for Brad

      I didn't really know what I wanted for sure. I told Brad my budget, my needs, and he helped me find something quickly at the Lafayette Gun and Knife show. Thanks

      How often do the gun grabbers actually "crunch the numbers"

      I have a friend who is quite anti-gun. I constantly challenge his beliefs and often he cannot back-up his beliefs with any sold reasoning. He tends to believe "gun people" are just shooting off their guns like it is the wild west. So, I posed this to him: "In Indiana, there are 200,000...

      How do/would you load your pistol (in public) after being disarmed by LE

      This thread isn't meant to debate a LEO disarming a LTCH holder for "safety." We know it happens as evidenced by the posts on INGO. Usually, the officer puts it in the citizens vehicle and tells them to wait til he/she leaves to load it. No car? Not sure where the weapon is placed...on the...

      Home invasion thwarted. No shots fired.

      I had just returned home on a Thursday after work and a trip to the gym. I parked my vehicle in the garage and left the main door open planning to head back out for some food. After unloading some items from the back of my vehicle and doing some odds and ends inside, I hear a loud noise from...

      500 guns (Indy)

      I was in Indy 3/21 to meet a friend after he finished work. I decided to pick a gun store on the way to downtown. 500 guns was an easy choice due to my route of travel. I parked across the street and saw a sign as I approached the store: "No loaded guns" "No cel phones" I couldn't believe...

      Ruger LC9 magazine slipping

      I have a Ruger LC9 as a carry pistol. I bought it new and later bought an extra factory Ruger mag. I noticed one mag seems to slide/fit better but both feed fine. One mag is made in the US and the other Italy (Mecgar contract?). It seems that the US mag comes ajar (fully loaded). Now, it...

      Have you ever "quizzed" a business with a no-gun sign

      You see a business with a no guns allowed sign. Obviously, a piece of paper or plastic on a window or door doesn't stop a thug from bringing in a weapon. Have you ever asked to talk to a manager how they police that sort of policy. A metal detector? A pat down? A wand at the door? After...

      Could Cooper's rule 1 be better stated?

      1. All guns are always loaded. I understand the concept behind this. If you treated a gun like this all the time, would you disassemble a loaded gun prior to cleaning it? Would you hand a loaded gun to a gun enthusiast to inspect or for him/her to load and fire?

      non resident IL CCW

      I know that IL is going to start issuing CCW permits this year. As an IN resident, I find it annoying my neighboring state is a "black hole" for legal concealed carry for us IN LTCH holders. I was at Cabela's in Hammond, IN recently. There was a man from some business (gun training) with a...
