I did not know that. They have improved the quality of them, in my opinion.

Why don't you carry another M&P as a backup then? Revolvers do not suck. Assuming they are loaded, they go "bang" with each pull of the trigger like they were designed to do. They don't jam, stovpipe, magazine doesn't fall out, etc. They just go "bang".

I think there's another older fellow on here who posts occasionally from Lafayette, but I don't know him personally. Not sure about anymore around Westmoreland. Do we need to "get prepared"? I'm probably too lazy to do much.

I didn't know anyone watched preseason football.

:DMike, I can always count on you for a laugh.

I guess I'm on my own up here in hillbilly land. Maybe 56FordGuy would have some extra homebrew if things really get bad.

+1 I don't expect Mr. Miculek is worried much about someone's plastic pistol, flash mob, flashdance, etc. Yeah....they really suck. To address the OP, the flashmob gangs are usually kids. The sight of a handgun, let alone an actual report from one would likely disperse them in an instant. I highly doubt you'd get a chance at a second shot.

David is a nice and helpful guy. Bill Goodman and Bob Pope can both kiss my posterier. Unless something drastically changes, I'll not be back to either of their shows. Especially Pope. They've taken a great idea and ruined it. The RK shows, in my opinion, are o.k. There's a small show a few times a year in Cave City Kentucky that I always enjoy. I've also liked the one in Sparta. Why no one in Nashville can produce a decent show is beyond me.

I had 223 brass, bullets, dies, and loaded ammo for years while not having a rifle chambered for it. I've since rectified that situation. I'd buy a bunch of 303 Savage ammo today if I found a deal on it. I don't have one of those either......yet.

There's no getting around the fact they are UGLY, but if I can find a 40 cal for round a c-note, I'll bring it home.

It just depends on your budget and what you want. I know several guys who buy a $500-$1000 car, and drive it till it quits, and go get another. They seem to have pretty good luck that way. I know others who trade for a new car every 1-2 years. They have pretty good luck as well. I've had good luck with 2-5 year old used vehicles. However, I am in the market for another car, and because of the flood in Middle Tennessee last year, I am leery of used cars. I may just but a new one this time. It also depends on what you want. A gently used Chrysler product can be had for a small fraction of a new one, while a high mileage Honda is nearly the same price as a new one.

The Appalachain people aren't going to want us up there with them. That's what I mean. If a bunch from Nashville heads up that way, there will be one heck of a riot. The Nashville guy may well be better armed than the Appalachain, but my money's on the mountain boy with the single shot 22. He knows how to use his.

Wouldn't the collapse of the U.S. economy be pretty much nation wide, and not isolated? I assume you are thinking that rioting and such will be more prevelant in heavier populated areas? If that were my line of thought, I believe I'd be making plans on getting out before something like that occurs. I guess there is a reason after all that I don't like crowds. I never put it together until now.

I'll go on and be blunt about it. My neighbors will not take kindly to out of town people setting up camp on their farms, robbing their gardens, etc.

Sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe I've just been a survivialist all my life and didn't know it, but I figure if I can't make it here where I know my way around, I'm certain to be screwed anywhere else I try to go.

It would be a hard thing to take. I'm glad the guy didn't shoot anybody.

I understand being prepared for bad situations. I applaud being prepared for bad situations. Being prepared turns an emergency into a minor inconvenience. What I can't for the life of me wrap my head around is where all of you think you are going to pack up and go when something bad happens. All my stuff is here. My friends and family are here. I am familiar with here. I stay put.

He's on par with, if not above the average of, the other current news broadcasters.

22lr. It is wedely available, and you can transport a LOT of it.

I don't care for AR's, but I'd have to buy one at $280.

I believe I speak for the majority here when I say we're glad to have you, Brian. I'm not looking for a champion for my side in the press. I believe that if the media in general simply worked objectively on a story and reported their findings honestly, we as law abiding gun owners would have nothing to fear from them.

Good article, Brian. It is impossible for me to determine your personal point of view from the article. That is, in my opinion, a mark of a professional journalist. They seem to be in short supply today. That looks like a long barreled nickel Colt Python, or perhaps a Diamondback in the foreground of the picture of your article. That is a quite expensive and collectable revolver.

"I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy." I like this answer.

Pocket carry works for me most of the time, whether camping or what.
