Ruger LCR .357 in #4 Uncle Mike's pocket holster. Pocket carry often in jeans/shorts in summer, but OWB the LCR or Model 29 Combat Magnum 2 3/4 .44 in jacket weather.
Given the takedown of the Iranian terror mastermind (good riddance!) and the ensuing "death to America" frenzy in that bizarre land, plus the shock and outrage by lefties like AOC that any president would actually have the temerity to blow up a mass murderer, it would not be a surprise to see...
George Washington died of a throat infection. He was bled several times on his last few days by doctors who thought that was valid medical treatment in those says. Hus final hours were carefully and thoroughly documented by those who were there. There is zero evidence that he had any other...
We see so many discussions on line regarding “what if I have to shoot?” scenarios that I thought it might be useful to try to distill the wisdom and experience I have tried to accumulate over the years, which involved more than a decade in and around law enforcement where I was present three...
Well whatever the law may say, if you were ever involved in the defensive use of a firearm and the blood test which the detectives would almost certainly have drawn showed ANY level of ANY mood altering chemical in your system, your criminal and especially your civil liability would go way up...
Any red flag law needs to have VERY severe penalties for anyone making a knowingly false allegation. Otherwise I can see gun grabbers calling 911 to claim their gun-owning neighbor is a terrorist threat.
I am just really amazed at the negativity toward law enforcement evident from some here. In my youth I spent many hours riding in those black and white cars and was involved in countless traffic stops. I keep in close contact with many retired police officers today and I can tell you that the...
I recently picked up this revolver and it's turning out to be one of the best things Smith and Wesson has produced in years. Hickock 45's review of it is spot on -- a .44 special with magnum capability that is well within CCW weight and bulk. It rides very well in an OWB holster, has great...
If you want a model for how to comport yourself while armed in public, look to active and retired law enforcement officers. When not in uniform, they pretty much universally carry concealed, not openly, and even in uniform they do not routinely appear in public with a long gun or its equivalent...
Brett Macy is a retired OCPD lieutenant (and son of the late DA Bob Macy) and individuals I know attest to his qualifications and level headed approach. He is also a member of the state Pardon and Parole Board.
I'm going to digress from one comment above, that you should avoid taking a concealed carry class. Yes the emphasis there is not on range practice, but said classes do go fairly deep into the laws governing self defense with firearms, whether at home or out and about. You may have no desire to...
The disparity of force comment is on target. Is the victim female and the attacker male? Then most prosecutors are going to say deadly force was justified. Is the victim disabled in any way? Same. Is the victim say over 60 and the attacker a youth? Ditto. Is there say a 50 pound difference in...
Having been on scene for a number of officer involved shootings (and many more situations where force was deployed at varying levels) this looks like a borderline case to me. The suspect was clearly acting in irrational and unpredictable ways, and the discovery of PCP in his vehicle points...
I am an old person. Can't see very well.
I always have visions when I see those signs of two heavily armed and ski-masked terrorists approaching say Penn Square intent on mass slaughter and seeing the little no-gun/red-slash decal on the door and one saying, "Oh no, Ali, guns not allowed! Must...
I knew a police officer who responded to a domestic one night and encountered a drunk and belligerent husband with a large knife. The officer backed through a couple of rooms ordering him to drop the knife, and when he kept coming he fired three times from about 6 feet with a .357 carrying...
