+1...good times Nice looking pistols too.

I hope I can find a deal like this when I recover from playing Santa.

Either way, I like 'em! I want to get some furniture for mine, but can't bring myself to part with the laser grips.

Interesting. I don't operate in circles where guys can't step back and recognize that NO firearm is perfect and the NO firearm is perfect for everyone. Besides, I can say a Glock is ugly and still respect it as a perfectly good choice for self defense. Just like I can train with my EDC at the range and still play with a bag full of guns. Heck, shooting is fun.

I borrow my father-in-law's GP100 from time to time (mainly to make sure it gets cleaned regularly, since he never uses it). It's a sweet shooter and even with full-power magnum loads it's more comfy to shoot than a S&W 642 with light .38 plinking ammo. You can do wonders to a Ruger revolver trigger's feel just by dropping the hammer spring from 14# to 10 or 12#. The trigger is so smooth nothing else is needed to make it feel like an expert has tuned it.

OMG! That is fantastic!

The Witness is a nice gun alright. One of the many many patterned after the CZ 75.

Nice grips, Marschals?

I don't disagree with or dispute the first half of your argument at all. This part, however, has some wiggle room. Owning a Glock is like wearing overalls or driving a Toyota Prius. The are excellent at getting their intended job done, but aren't the most stylish of choices. The overalls will get you funny looks at the office Christmas party and the Prius will get you laughed at by your huntin'/drinkin' buddies. I have enough trouble hanging onto what few "cool points" I have left. Okay, seriously though...I agree. It's a concealed tool that works...well. When I have to use it, who cares what it looks like. I have pretty range guns too, though, and they're more fun to shoot.

THIS^^^ +100 But, a) I can't believe you made a Star Wars analogy and it wasn't referencing one of the original 3 films, so -99

I LOVE the idea! Let's do this thing. Where/when works for everyone interested? I can bring a P-01, a CZ-82, a CZ-52 w/ 7.62 and 9mm barrels, and CZ-75 Shadow.

I really like Maxped gear, but since I'm a cheapa$$, I won't pay the ridiculous prices most sites/stores are asking. So, I've been trying to snipe a good deal on a Maxped bag on eBay for a few weeks without luck. I'm glad I didn't, because I couldn't find one any cheaper than I just got one for on DVOR. Most of their deals are just okay, but this one's not bad. The catch is you have to sign up to get a weekly newsletter. Use an email you don't check often or just unsubscribe when you get the first one. They're real cool about processing them fast. If you decide to jump in, it'd be cool if you used this 'invite' link they gave me. Plus, right now they have a coupon code (10OFF, that's ten plus the word OFF) that will get you $10 off anything, no minimum.

Love mine too, but good luck finding parts...anywhere...except the Internet.

I fought the urge to get a Glock for years then I took the plunge and got one. I never got used to the feel, so I traded it. I lucked up and won a Glock in a drawing at a GSSF match. I picked the Gen 4 Glock 17 and I absolutely love it. Now that I have a Glock that feels good in my hand, I can see why so many people like them. You're right, it's AWESOME to be able to go almost anywhere and find parts, accessories, and gear in stock. This may even be one of my top 3 reasons for liking them now.

My bad, I was thinking the PCR was the compact w/out the decocker and the 75D was the model with the decocker. I had them mixed up. I think the decocker is an excellent safety feature, even compared to the manual safety. Right or not, for me I think the decocker is more likely to prevent an AD than a manual safety. I can keep my finger off the trigger when I should, but manually decocking a gun hundreds of times over the course of years feels like an accident waiting to happen. My only gripe is that it's hard to get the trigger smooth (not lightened, smooth) with a CZ with a decocker than it is with a manual safety.

how cool would it be to fly in that bad boy!

I have just enough faith in the legal system to believe that shooting a BG who broke into my house or tried to attack me in public wouldn't get me prosecuted and even less likely, wouldn't get me convicted of agg assault or murder. That leaves my biggest remaining concerns being the cost of bond, the sleep-over with a bunch of criminals, and the humiliation of being arrested and hauled off in a police car for my family/neighbors to see. We can debate whether my faith in the legal system is misplaced, however, I feel pretty sure I'll take the approach diablo and others have suggested. I'm still going to ask for an attorney when I give a full account of the event, but I don't wanna get cuffed and stuffed by leaving them no choice except arresting me. I suspect we all feel that way, too.

Oops, I missed the post where you said you ordered one already. Congratulations! I like the PCR a lot, wish I had one myself, but I fell for the decocker hard. Love having it instead of a manual safety. Of course I'm stuck with a tac-rail now, but oh well. I hope you like it as much as I like mine...happy shooting.

Let's say your house is broken into at 1:00 am and you shot the intruder (dead/alive, whatever). It seems to me that the circumstances alone would be enough to avoid spending the night in jail (hauled off in cuffs), even if you refuse to make a statement without an attorney. If you were accosted on the way out Walmart at the same time of night, were forced to shoot the BG, and clam up when the cops arrive, I'd be surprised if the cops had any choice but to haul you off in cuffs. Hopefully you'd get to go home after your lawyer gets down there and you make a statement (granted they believe you). In either case, you have to weigh the damage to your freedom/wallet long-term against being detained for up to 24 hours until they get to the bottom of things and decide whether to arrest you, right?

Volzfan, I have 4 CZs (CZ P-01, CZ-82, CZ-52, and a CZ 75 Shadow) and I love them all, but the P-01 is my favorite. I sold the rubber grips that came on the P-01 and put a Crimson Trace Laser Grip on it. It only changed the way it feels in your hand a tiny bit, but you are welcome to handle/shoot mine any Saturday/Sunday. Give me a holler, bring $5.50 and some 9mm to the SRHEC on Hobson Pike, and I'll meet you out there. It'd be a pleasure, in fact.

Obviously, I was only regurgitating facts I heard second-hand, albeit from what should to be a trustworthy source. I saw much of the same info you saw, but I was too lazy to read it all, LOL. All the same, let's assume this was an all-inclusive and exhaustive search and there is undisputably no such rule/law. It's not the first time someone mired down in the world of acedemia has given false or out-dated info to their students. College professors, especially, tend to get a little too comfy in their little theoretical world and tend to lose track of the real world. True or not, my wife says she'll still stopping for the same reason Blackhawk stated, which is the same reason she chose her profession. Thanks for the leg work, BTW.

I looked for some "proof" as well, but found none. All I can tell you is that my wife got her BSN from MTSU. She had more than one instructor tell the students that the state of TN could revoke their nursing license for refusing to give care to someone in need. They specifically cited passing by an accident without stopping to see if anyone needed medical attention as one of these grounds. Naturally it would be hard to prove, but the instructors said it has happened. In fact, around that time the state came out with specialty license plates for nurses. Several instructors said they'd never get one of those plates, because if they passed an accident without stopping to render care, it'd be too easy for them to be tracked down. Regardless, I'd guess it's a rule of the licensing board for nurses, not an actual law.

Mine's an RN...I know what you mean. We once passed a bad accident and the ambulance hadn't arrived yet. We had to pull over to see if they needed help...something about possibly losing her license if we didn't. She once jokingly said, 'Please don't shoot 'em. I'll just have to patch 'em up. What's the point?'

Good stuff here. The whole don't talk to the cops idea seems like sound advice up to a point. As it's been said I wouldn't want to leave them wondering what happened when they arrive on the scene or have them taking the word of the BG. I hope few real criminals heed that advice, though. The police need all the self-incriminating evidence they can get from thugs to get them off the streets. Also, I'm curious about the point bkelm18 made about being sued for messing up trying to save the BG's life. I think he meant it tongue-in-cheek, but still...the state of TN has a Good Samaratin Law. Don't y'all think it'd protect you from being sued for mistakes while trying to render first aid.

I downloaded WWZ from iTunes on Wednesday. I'm only 30 minutes into it so far, but it's pretty interesting. I like the format...1st hand accounts of how it was when the SHTF. I think I'll get Day by Day Armageddon next.
