Will Carry

Now that 380 ammo is becoming more plentiful I actually have a choice of self defense ammo. Glazer Powerball, PMC Starfire, Federal PP low recoil, Winchester Supreme Elite or should I just use FMJs?

I have a Single Six with a 9.5" barrel. 22 magnums are so much fun to shoot with this pistol that I have never even installed the 22 LR cylinder. I have wanted a Taurus 22 mag snub nose revolver for many years. The muzzle flash it cool as heck at night. You might could get 1300fps out of a 2 inch barrel which will give you a whopping 112 ft/lbs of muzzle energy. I get 200+ ft/lbs from my 9.5 inch barrel. I used to have a High Standard Sentinal Mark II, 2" 22 mag that shot great! I have always come to my senses before dropping the money for a Taurus 22 mag. The new Taurus 22LR/22mag DA revolvers weight 55 ounces! WTF? The Raging Bull 454 Casul weights 51 ounces. I cannot imagine a 22 revolver with a 12 pound trigger that weights 55 ounces. It's like a 22 cailber anvil.

I am drug tested on a regular basis...so I can get a pay check...I don't do drugs so it's not a problem. I am also a strong supporter of our constitution and bill of rights. I would rather live in a free society where some people do drugs.....than live in the kind of society where the government enslaves it's subjects. BUT you guys do have a point. I have to take a drug test to get MY paycheck...... of course if I was rich, I could do drugs and not worry about a drug test. So I guess in America now you can buy your freedom and rights. This is the 4th ammendment to the constitution: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

If you have ever watched a person you love die of a terrible disease, I mean die slow and painful, agony every second............then you might understand. I have and I do. I know suicide is a sin but at times, it doesn't really mean much....oh yeah. Happy Friday. Thanks for bringing back the memories I spent 30 years trying to forget. My wife was 18 years old when she got bone cancer. The cancer would grow inside her bones until they would split open. She fought that battle for 7 years. Death was a God send! You just don't know nothin'

I am picking up a CZ next week at Fuquay Guns. If my car don't break down first.

I left Conyers in 1965 when I was in the third grade. I still remeber the Conyers Theater. It was segregated. Black people had to sit in the balcony and were not allowed in the lobby. They had to wait at the lobby door to get popcorn and Cokes. When they intergrated, Mr. Clay had to shut down the theater. The Ku Klux Klan said they would burn the theater if he allowed black people to sit with white people. Mr. Clay sold the theater to a church. Damn those were ...turbulant times.

My father was a veteran of world war two. He fought the Japanese as an infantryman. When he got home they gave him a FREE education. I remeber the Viet Nam vets getting a free ride through college. (I think ALL vets deserve a free education. It levels the playing field). He went to the East Alabama Polytechinical Institue (Auburn). He did so well that they let him go to Emory University and he became country doctor in Conyers Georgia. One night he got called....There was a terrible accident. Some fellow had wrecked his car and was suffering from burns. Dad drove off and came back the next afternoon tired as hell but he had several jars of clear liquid. Many years later when we were watching Hee Haw on TV. Dad spoke up and said "That's the man I helped when he wrecked his car that night!" It was Junior Samples. Junior Samples was a serious race car driver....but he wasn't racing that night. He was hallin' shine. Note: Dad used to come home from house calls with chickens, pigs, moonshine, he even came home once with a Perkins double barrel, percusion cap, shotgun made in London England. I just gave that Shotgun to my sister's son. Those North Georgia folk may have been poor but they were proud.

That is a terrible tragic thing. The LA Times is an anti-Bill of Rights newspaper and I'm sure they were foaming at the mouth to report that there were 53 guns in the home but it only takes one. I blame the man who owned the gun. I have raised four wonderful kids and have two grandchildren. I wish I could say that I never had a loaded gun in my house when children were around but that ain't so............ My father was a country doctor and made what they call "House Calls". He would go to peoples houses in the night when they needed a doctor. He carried a revolver in his bag. A Burgo 22LR. He kept it locked in his desk drawer. I was 5 years old when I figured out how to get his key and unlock the drawer. I will never forget the whoopin' I took...........

I read about the Cherokee Confedrates. "I didn't surrender but they made my horse surrender. He's probably pulling a plow up in Kansas...." I have never heard of order number 11 though. Sure Sherman burned houses and barns but Grant killed soldiers. Blue and Gray. "Cold Harbor"

Thanks China Coaster. I've got to learn more on this subject. I have been reading about US history all my life but I have always felt like a student and never called myself an authority. There is just so much to learn.

I know exactly what you mean. I just bought a Fairbairns/Sykes commando knife. Now what the heck am I going to do with this?

Thanks. I will try to find that book on Amazon. I'm reading a book on Andy Jackson now called American Lion.

He looks southern, talks southern and shoots pretty well too. He told me..... In the South Jews had adopted Southern values and traditions and was fanatically pro-Dixie. Arriving without trades or professions, they were not suited to the agrarian economy and hard manual labor of the new America. Yet in virtually every city or town of antebellum America the Jewish storekeeper, peddler, watchmaker, tailor or shoemaker had become a permanent figure. Jews in the South were longer settled. Significant numbers had lived in Charleston since 1700, in Savannah since 1733, and in Mobile, New Orleans and Memphis, where they participated as equals in Southern society. In dedicating a Savannah synagogue in 1820, Dr. Jacob de la Motta asked, "On what spot in this habitable globe does an Israelite enjoy more blessings, more privileges, or is more elevated in the sphere of preferment, and more conspicuously dignified in respectable stations?" The Jewish businessman and the Jewish plantation owner attracted little attention in the South. Rabbi James Gutheim of Montgomery, AL, who arrived in America in 1843, had no problem asking divine intervention for "our beloved country, the Confederate States of America. May our young Republic increase in strength, prosperity and renown." Over 2100 southern jews joined the Confederate Army around 20 were officers. So I had to ask him why he voted for Obama. He said his grandmother made him swear that he would never vote for the party of Lincoln and always for for the good conservative Democratic party.

I have a single stack 45acp, a Glock 36. It's a great pistol for concealed carry. It has never jammed and is very accurate.

Davidson's has them on sale this week for $309 +S&H+tax. I have often considered buying a pink handgun. Just think if a 6'3" 230lbs redneck whipped out a big pink pistol.... www.galleryofguns.com - Our retailers all over the country will offer you the best price for all the top brand guns

I believe that there are fly objects that can't be identified, but they ain't extraterrestrial. The UFO believers think that a race of intelligent beings are smart enough to warp time but for some reason they need to have bright lights when they fly at night. Is there some intergalactic FAA that requires all space ships to use running lights at night?

OK don't laugh...but I like my Uncle Mikes soft holster. It's cheap and you can't reholster it but it's very comfortable and it has worked well. I bought it to hold me over until I bought a good holster but I kind a like the thing. I figure I won't need to reholster my Glock 'cause the police will take it as evidence if I ever have to draw it. The Uncle Mikes I bought for my snubby does not work. The snubby will fall out too easily.

Rossi made some nice revolvers at one time. I do not know how the new ones measure up though. Even Smith and Wesson are having some QC issues on their new revolvers. I would go with the Rossi with some low recoil 38 special ammo. Wadcutters or Cowboy loads, if recoil is a problem. I have some 38sp. Federal Low Recoil Personal Defense ammo in my snubby. I can't understand how they can call it low recoil though.

My 16 gauge 870 was smooth as silk, light and fast. The Benelli Nova is big! 3" magnum 12 gauge. I'm 6'2" and the gun is big for me. It works fine but it's doesn't have the smooth action that 50 years of breaking in creates. Value wise they are about the same. But the old 870 has wooden stocks and grips where the Benelli is black plastic. The plastic is cheaper to manufacture than wood. They don't call it a sweet 16 for nothin'. I may trade the Benelli in for a 20 gauge tactical. That Puma is like an anti-aircraft gun.

I'll do that. I recently traded my Sweet 16 Wingmaster 870 for a NIB Benelli Nova 12 gauge pump. The Benelli is a POS.

I am a sheep, I must admit but I have a Good Shepard and a Glock 36. I try not to print but I also try to carry a pistol that will get her done. I will try the talking to my wrist watch trick next time I get the evil eye.

I never knew a shotgun needed to be pimped out before it was suitable for home defense. All those years my 870 sat in my closet loaded with buck shot and me thinking it was a good self defense gun. I didn't realize I needed a certain type of choke or a night sight or a ghost ring or a "tactical" do dad with a "laser". I am greatful I never had to use such an inferior weapon as an un-pimped shotgun. I mean, sure my 870 could hit a dove flying 60mph and a deer at a full run, but inside my house at ranges up to 30 feet....tha's different. I'm looking for a 20 gauge tactical shotgun, although a side-by-side coach gun looks very cool.

GUNZILLA! I have 3 Ruger wheel guns.

It ain't just Nashville. Just be glad they were just soda bottles filled with "water". Were you armed by any chance? I am not advocating the use of deadly force in this situation.....you did the right thing.

I shot at an Armadillo once with a 9mm. The first two shots missed and he just stood there while I aimed a third time, which was his downfall....
