While I've carried many a day (not quite legal before CHL) not one of them has ever been fired in anger or in defense of life, limb or property, but, I'm prepared to if necessary. Snip snip. Did you mean to say that you are prepared to fire in anger? While no one here may think twice about that, an...

Re: 31 in a 20 (school zone)

On another note, can I do defensive driving or deferred judification for this? Yes. Both are on a one year cycle. So you can actually get a ticket once every six months and keep them off your record... until the judge starts remembering your name. Even for being in a school zone? Thats a relief. Do...

31 in a 20 (school zone)

Was "speeding" on the way to class today, in lovely Keene. This school zone is about 30 feet long and directly off a highway. Saw the LEO, slowed down, but he pulled out and turned on the lights. Got pulled over, showed the CHL and license, he thanked me for showing that to him, asked if I...

Another Baby Eagle carrier! Every time I find one I smile to myself.

I'm having the holster blues. But I don't know how to sew...

And I've got plastic in hand!

Received 10/10, process began on 8/21. Not too bad.

There are so many things wrong with my generation.

They happen to have brought up most of them. Even if they weren't trying to prove my point.

Booyah. Join the .40 Baby Eagle crowd!

Only problem is holsters. I currently don't have a good one. You find something that works well?

I mailed mine off on Aug 21, and got my PIN on Sept 30. Yours should be coming soon... When did you take your CHL class?

Thanks for that. Like I said, I'm really new to rifle sighting and real applications of trajectory. Reading that made a lot of things click, I think.

I set my sights point blank at 200, which puts them right on at 50, lower closer than 50 and higher from 50 to 125. I'm new to rifle sighting, and I'm not understanding that at all. If you sight in at 200, how is 50 going to be right on? I thought if you sighted in at 200, 200 would be right on, an...

Also, please point out the "lot of shootings you would consider excessive force" and explain. Are you suggesting the shooting s were not justified, or that it was a justified shooting and the person was "over killed"? The one that comes immediately to mind happened in California...

My point is, I've seen a lot of shootings I'd consider excessive force. The guy being shot at simply didn't have a chance in hell. If I empty a mag into a BG, or two mags that I'd usually carry, you know the LEOs that come to investigate the situation would raise eyebrows, and rightly so. It doesn't...

Lets change the situation a little.

Lets say you have been accused, wrongly, of killing a Law enforcement officer.

Now how would you feel about this type of justice?
