E'ery time I come aroun' yo' city bling bling! Does the mag release spin?

Ah yes. Range time. Because everyones home gets invaded by 2 dimensional static targets that are well lit. LOL

Sold. Thanks J.R.

That's another story.

Desert Eagle? AR? For home defense? Really? I guess I don't live in CS:S like you do BC. Pistol [of a caliber with managable recoil and no worries of overpenetration (TWSS)] or a 12g. Anything else is overkill unless the Taliban itself ransacks your house every night. I can imagine having my family somewhere in the house and sending round out of an AR or .50. Also, the BEST weapon in defense is you. Everything else is a tool. Hell, if I can I'll grab my Ka-Bar and go stealth Rambo if I can.

Weird. I got a great deal on my Ka-Bar there New Years day and last year got a friggin' STEAL on my CCW. Hmmm... Def sketchy though.

Hmmm...thanks. I'll see what I can do.

Argh. Krav in the morning, wedding at noon, weapons disarm seminar at 2:00. Will be missing this one. Went to the one there on New Years. Got a few good deals.

YENNER! Y U NO HAVE DINERO?! GLWS. That is a steal.

I just got into cycling and would love a road bike. I don't know much about parts and such. Is the spring an affordable/easy fix? Is it ridable as is? Does everything function? I'm extremely interested.

I can't wait to get into coyote and hog hunting. I'd love to have one now.

FN FTW. Seriously. After dad got his FNP9 and FNP40 my fullsize purchase WILL be an FN.

Good to know. Nice pickup man.

That. Is. Sick. Jealous. Congrats.

Good deal man. Congrats. I need a pocket pistol.

Prayers for the family as they relive this tragedy and for all involved in the proceedings.

Sale pending.

Just posted mine for $175. I can bring it to you tomorrow or Tuesday almost anywhere you need in central Ohio.

Needing money to fix cars and move. Looking to unload my all black Maverick 88 Field with a soft case. Same as the Mossberg 500 if you don't know (which anyone looking here should know already). Just purchased last October. Took it hunting once, shot 1 squirrel, and didn't see anything else the entire trip. Have put about 100 rounds through it total with no problem. Always cased when stored. Never dropped. Uses AccuChoke system, same as the 500. $175 Here is a stock photo. I can get more later if someone really needs to see one. http://www.slickguns.com/sites/default/files/101024_8AS_3.JPG

Also, I wear camo a lot so most people don't even see me. This entire convo is moot.

If YOU have a CCW and you round a corner seeing a person aiming at another would YOU pull your gun and sight in the "assailant"? If so you're the idiot that shouldn't have slipped through the cracks. The point I think the CCW holders are saying is that ANY CCW holder knows that you shouldn't draw unless the threat is on YOU. Therefore, if "some dude" comes around the corner and isn't an LEO he has no right pulling a weapon whether he's a CCW holder or not. If he even yells out to the assumed "assailant" and the "assailant" does NOT turn on him it's still not his duty to play Rambo. Call the cops, record, whatever, but no other weapon should be drawn in this scenario. Now, yes I can see where some idiot WOULD draw on me (or the presumed victim who is now holding the weapon) and truthfully it's hard to say what I would do or what would happen, but I certainly wouldn't do anything to make that person think I was a threat.

Jackpot. I love that I started Krav. It teaches that you're the weapon, your pistol, knife, etc. are all just tools. If I can I'm defusing the situation in a way that I have to inform the officers that I have a CCW, not that they know about it before they get to the scene. Don't go do stupid things in stupid places with stupid people. That'll prevent a lot of it.

That's great that you're doing something to better yourself in more ways than one. I go to Fusion Fitness | Krav Maga on Coonpath Rd off 33 just before you get to Lancaster. Shawn Baird is the instructor but he's affiliated and trains with Ohio Krav Maga which has that gym in Gahanna, one in Hilliard, and I forget where the last one is at the moment. KRav is definitely more "real world" training than I've ever seen or participated with. Well worth getting into an OKM gym. That's awesome. I've heard great things about it but never been myself, and even though I haven't I can attest that if it's ANYTHING like what I've been working with you're 100% spot on. You will learn more in 1 session than you could ever hope to at a CCW type class or a thousand trips to the range.

Hopefully not a repost. The text came from a FB update of my Krav instructor today. I know there's a million "ifs" involved, but it makes sense. I was always taught "practice how you plan to perform". You don't learn to hit a 90 MPH pitch by plaing MLB2Kwhatever. Inform yourself. Find a place to practice drawing from your CC holster. Take a self defense/weapons training class. It could save the lives of you, your family, and your friends. If anyone wants any more info let me know. Krav has changed my way of thinking and my life and the weapons disarm/defense I've been learning is by far more valuable than anything I took away from the CCW course OR the Level 2 pistol training I've received. My gym is doing a weapons disarm seminar Feb 4th if anyone is interested. It will be led by a Krav master and I guarantee will open your eyes, especially if you don't have any prior hand to hand training. It will include pistol, long gun, and knife defenses from every position from standing facing all different directions to lying face down in bed to on your knees execution style. Do you know how to defend yourself in all scenarios? Yeah, me neither. I hope to learn a little more each day though. tl;dr Just because you carry a pistol and have taken the CCW course does not mean you're prepared, indestructible, and Wyatt Earp. YOU are the weapon, NOT the tool in your holster.
