interesting... and good for you bringing up a serious matter... Generally agree w/ wildogre... it depends on the situation. IF you live alone or the other occupant shares your room, the very best options is as follows: Turn on the light in your bedroom or nearest the door. get behind your bed with your firearm aimed at the doorway call 911 and don't hang up. while on the phone, announce loudly, you are armed, you have called the police ANYONE who comes through the doorway of a lit room following your announcement is only there for one reason, and that is to do you harm. shoot them. Stay in place until the police arrive. speak to the dispatcher and give them your location in the house so you don't kill a cop or get killed. just a thought... and of course, if others occupy your home, things will have to happen differently, and that is a plan you must make in advance, not in the fog of confusion...

http://www.gunbanobama.com/ http://www.gunbanobama.com/media/9506581/pvf_204_obamafactsheet_insert.pdf it has happened around the world within the last century... In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated... -------------------- In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. -------------------- Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. -------------------- China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. -------------------- Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. -------------------- Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. -------------------- Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. it can happen here... and while i agree it would be a fight, and a long process, don't think it's not possible and that there are many powerful people in government that want nothing more... and with the technology of today, if you are known owner or suspected/rolled on by those who know you, its simply a matter of freezing your bank account, turning off your utilities, etc. until you can prove you are unarmed.. nobody has to knock on your door.

sounds as if you have some valid experience in this area... please explain?

interesting... thanks guys... i looked online at TN.gov and found nothing specific...

seeing more of the linked ammo at the shows..... anyone know why and what's your experience with it? and is it ok to own?

overhead a man at a show discussing how some states and municipalities have laws regarding how much ammo you can keep in your home... i'm pretty sure TN has no such thing regarding manufactured ammo, but maybe on powder... (black powder?) what say yea...

so, i see a business opportunity here... if a guy sends you his conversion with return postage paid, what would you charge a man to perform the same surgery on his? just curious.

"that guy looks like a wierdo... go get my gun"... i don't have a lot of solicitors any more. seriously though, this is important stuff...

Awesome You guys rock. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Greetings... so last year i purchased 1k of primered cases, powder and bullets... ended up going out of the country and didn't get to reload them as planned. my question is: how long will these cases w/ primers in them be viable for reloading? and if it's not long, how can i store them in a manner that will extend shelf life? sealed bucket w/ nitrogen/oxygen absorbers?? the powder is still in the sealed container, same question for the powder... likewise, i would assume that even once loaded, this stuff is only good for so long as reloads... thoughts??? thanks guys for your help...

howd did it go!?!? It kills me that i work basically every weekend... I fully intend to take this class... and the AK class. Chattanooga is lucky to have this, and i suspect it is hardly utlilized... I have to submit for time off about by the first of the month for the following month, so if you guys are able to plan out just a hair more, like 8 weeks out, my odds go up... i'd love to hear any feedback from the class...

the hornady critical defense round in .380 has impressive penetration (10 inches) and is a highly consistent round with consistent opening characteristics in ballistic gel. This is the first .380 round i've personally considered a legitimate personal defense round. worth a look....

the DSarms upper is a deal.... have one... very happy with the apparent quality and finish... DSA ZM4 Forged 7075T6 A3 AR15 Upper Receiver - DSZM4CBU-D S Arms 275.00 is a deal.

spikes dedicated upper. awesome.

Buy love this gun. mine, oddly, is not picky and will shoot anything. had the colt, POS. sold it fast. SW is super simple, easy to clean and very accurate, mine is anyway. would definitely buy again.

same here. sent a request, they sent me the parts immediately. free of charge.

totally agree with this. have both. love both. i'm 5'10, 200 lbs. disappears under a t shirt. very comfortable as well.

awesome. Carry on Sir.

interesting thread. have several Kahrs, no Keltecs. Agree generally with most above posters. my experience: Any polish that you give it that give you peace of mind is fine. A dremel with a felt tip or wheel will not hurt it. Flitz is good stuff. Agree with polishing the ramp the direction of travel with your very fine paper and by hand. Final polish with Flitz and the felt bullet tip will put a supremely slick mirror finish on, no matter what direction you polish. no meaninful metal is removed with this combination, only finishes the work you have done and brings the ramp/barrel to a super slippery shine. BUT whether you polish or not, true peace of mind will come from only one thing: range time. run the gun. 200-300 rounds before you bet your life on it. and you must run it at least a mag or two with the round you intend to carry. in my Kahrs, for example, the feed ramps are steep. they will run all day long with ball ammo, but get a little picky with certain HP (some, not all) Oddly enough one hates Hydroshock, one loves it. they all run great with Hornady Critical Defense, which is my carry of choice in 9mm. YMMV. so, before you trust it with your life, be sure it's happy with the round you have chosen. shoot it and let it become an extension of you. THAT is peace of mind. Keep us posted!!!!

Dude, sorry. I opened up some space... sorry about that. all work and no play... talk soon~

This: 5.11 Tactical 36" Gun Case (MP4) + FREE SHIPPING, 5.11 new items, 5.11 tactical screaming good case and a great deal. I have an eagle also, and it's a great choice as well.

HI. I have the MOACKS. works perfectly every time. I'm happy to stake yours. i stake for everyone around here for $5. this includes checking torque specs before staking using a precision inch/pounds torque wrench. if undertorqued, I will torque to Mil Spec or whatever spec you prefer. I would drop in in the mail back to you the same day it arrives. If you are interested I can send you pics of stake work i've done, but it looks like it's supposed to. I'm in Chattanooga area. Safely wrapped in bubble wrap and mailed in the $5 USPS mailer might work, or their mailing tube? let me know if interested. crash~

Question for Cypher235: when the officer disarmed you, did he ask you to remove the pistol hand it to him or did he remove the pistol? exactly how did this "transaction" take place... just curious...
