    What Do You Carry And Why?

    Bahhh . . . I agree. No one every gave me a second questionable look when I carried openly. Same goes for Lisa. And when I agree with you, GB, it's something we probably both believe completely.

    What Do You Carry And Why?

    While I like a lot of his stuff, just keep this in mind. In about 10 or so court cases, Ayoob has been proven wrong on his "expert testimony" by either physics, discovered video footage, or both. I'm not saying he's wrong all the time, or I don't agree with A LOT of what he says. I think the...

    What Do You Carry And Why?

    EXACTLY!!! And that's why cops and security guards get robbed all the time because that gun is worth a lot of money, and it's EASY to rob a guy with a gun easy to grab on his hip. Happens all the time . . . No. No it doesn't. I've carried for about 16 years, and even with my "high dollar"...

    What Do You Carry And Why?

    Better. Got shot with a 12 gauge in the "back" (end) during a dove shoot. It hurt, I got mad, and I turned to shoot back at the guy before being grabbed. It hurt, I bled, and the pellets penetrated A LITTLE into me. I was a KID and I was ready to shoot back. That being said, a .410 which is...

    What Do You Carry And Why?

    From a Judge, it's possible that the round won't penetrate thick clothing i.e. your first shot is going to warn him that he's in a life-threatening fight i.e. his next move is to shoot back with what is most likely a much more effective round. And if he's behind ANYTHING, that pretty much...

    What Do You Carry And Why?

    It was something like 6-10 feet . . . nothing major. The .410 just ISN'T that much gun, and it's really not in a short barrel handgun. Like I've said, the IDEA is great i.e. a "little" shotgun, but it's not a 12 gauge duck killer. It's a .410 caliber ultra light shotshell.

    Need Cell Phone Helps

    I found out my new company has a discount with AT&T, so I joined up with them. They had a decent price save for the outlandish taxes and fees. I've got a couple of HTC smartphones and a Rugby Pro hooked up so far, and I've been pleased with the service.

    What Do You Carry And Why?

    Most .410 slugs won't pass the FBI minimums for self-defense through a full sized shotgun (I think there are 2 specialty rounds that do). NONE of them pass through a handgun (check box-o-truth). To put that into some perspective, there are many 9mm rounds that make the minimum. I think there...

    Need Cell Phone Helps

    Lisa has an Otterbox case. Leaks water like a sieve. I'm completely unimpressed.

    Need Cell Phone Helps

    Okay, I'm moving, and I can't take my cell service with me (or the phone). I'm going to be using WalMart's Straight Talk, and I need to buy a phone. I'm thinking an Android phone. Easy enough? Not exactly. I'm rough on phones. I'll put it to you this way. I use a Sonim "Explosives...

    If they can afford said fire protection, who cares?

    RANT!!! Deer Hunting Rant . . . yes, RANT! Lots of words . . .

    It's my house, and I'll defend it with whatever I feel necessary that complies with the law. An addition to that is I will choose to live where the laws allow for that, if you know what I mean? I look at it like this. If someone breaks into my home (which I admit is unlikely), then I want...

    What Do You Carry And Why?

    Found out California bans the .410/.45LC combination specifically. Go figure. It's a state thing but not a federal thing. http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot41.htm Check that out. There aren't much of any pistol based .410 performance data that's worth doing. Out of a full sized shotgun...

    What Do You Carry And Why?

    J, you're fine with the Judge in any state. It's rifled and not considered a shotgun (smoothbore). I BELIEVE that's the technicality that keeps it off the NFA list. That being said, the performance of the .410 in that gun is pretty questionable against human tar gets. There have been several...

    What Do You Carry And Why?

    Hey Ronin, I used to read everything he wrote as gospel, but I'm a little more careful, now. Several of his "investigations" that he testified to have been proven false (he was wrong), and there are a few other things he's asserted that evidence has born out as being "off". NOT SAYING HE'S...

    Classic Insurance Anyone ?????

    Ummm . . . State Farm standard "full coverage" for my '65 is . . . $17 a month . . . pretty good deal, I think? What they do is go off the NADA prices, SO, given my options, I think the "normal" value is between $16k and $25k so a fender bender isn't going to "total" my car. For me, at...
