I’ve told my daughters: if I get my gun out for a defensive gun use, get away from me STAT. When the lead flies, anyone holding a gun is a lead magnet. I reckon it’s best not to have my kids in the line of fire. Which raises an important question, illustrated by the video below . . .
If a gunfight breaks out, are you going to grab your kids and run (come what may) or push them away and engage? Obviously, it depends on the situation. But have you thought about it? Trained for it? Discussed the possibilities with your significant other? Is he or she armed?
God doesn’t exist. Your survival is in your hands alone.
As I’ve said, endlessly, NO government wants its citizens armed. Some tolerate it better than others, but none want it.
Arms control goes back centuries.
This weeks criminals, are next weeks patriots. So as they ban firearms, the citizens will ignore the law. They will be demonized now, and written about in history books with glowing accolades later.
What about the Czech? Didn’t Hungary say they wanted their citizens armed?
I was going to agree and suggest that American History is doomed to repeat itself again. In the same way as the early colonists fought against the British Monarchy (the crown) for freedom…Unfortunately, I realized I could probably be charged with a “Thought-Crime” now a days…Like a Chinese dissident in a Communist Country….How ironic…..

The Glock 19 is the perfect size. Small enough to conceal, big enough to fight with.
For a small woman perhaps this gun is too big, but for your average person it’s perfect. Durable, compact, reliable, reliable and most importantly reliable.
It’s not the most comfortable thing to hold and send mass quantities of bullets down range with (The stippling on the Gen 4’s is not kind to my palms after 400+ rounds) but I’ve got probably 5,000 rounds down range with my G19.
It’s a brilliant piece of equipment.
Wow, this has got to be the most perfectly useless review I’ve read on here in awhile. Owned one of these for 2 years now, and it’s got to be the most accurate pistol I’ve shot to date, and I’ve shot a lot of 1911s…I don’t know what this article writer is experiencing, because I can draw pictures on a target at 15 yards with this gun. The article makes no mention about the refined machinery process that allows the gun to have tolerances that you find on a $1000+ 1911, but without the sticker-shock. It’ll eat any kind of ammo, and I’ve yet to see much difference in terms of accuracy. It’s comfortable, requires NO aftermarket add-ons to be an effective 1911 by ordinary, law-abiding gun owners. It is a bit heavy, but it’s not really sold as a carry piece, so I don’t get the flak this writer gives it for that…nor the criticism of Ruger’s owner manual, with it’s insistence on proper maintenance and gun safety. I actually found Ruger’s manual refreshing in it’s detail and insistence on proper handgun usage. Aren’t we SUPPOSED to courage gun safety, yawl?
So, if you want a great 1911, but don’t have $1,000, then buy this gun!! And spend the difference on buckets of .45 ammo, cuz you’re gonna love this gun!!
My wife doesn’t hunt. But she wanted a shotgun for a house gun. She’s 5 foot tall. Recoil isn’t a problem for her. I’ve watched her shoot 12 bore and .45acp. Comfortably reaching the controls on a given firearm is the problem for her.
I bought her a youth model pump gun for her house gun in 20 ga.
I would gladly spend the 2300 bucks, and everybody here knows I’m cheap, for that shotgun if she would hunt with me.
My BUG is an Ruger LCR in .357.
I’ve been saying for years that gun control is racist, and provided endless citations to that effect. I’ve been saying for years that gun control is ineffective, and provided endless citations to that effect. This man gets it and so do the members of NAAGA.
The rest of you would do well to read Charles E. Cobb Jr’s, “This Nonviolent Stuf’ll Get You Killed: How Guns Made The Civil Rights Movement Possible” And other books like it, too, particularly those poring over the history of groups like CORE and Deacons For Defense and Justice. It ain’t always pretty or clean, and neither always are the participants in history, but we need to accept that there are no perfect people or organizations and to wait for them to magically appear is to never affect any change at all.
“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” It’s almost like the anti’s want to keep black people disarmed, to keep them disenfranchised(*):
Along with keeping unarmed people from being able to vote their own interests, keeping them unarmed keeps them dependent; dependent on the forbearance of armed both thugs and authorities, to simply get through the day. The anti’s want to keep everyone disarmed, thus disenfranchised and dependent, but it seems to hit black people as a group harder. Besides, a defenseless out group is easier to harvest.
This “gun control” nonsense hits everybody. But the way it’s been used to enable abuse on black people also shows that the knuckleheads will grab any tool they can get hold of, to use in their cause.
It ain’t right, three different ways.
(*) How many “gun control” proposals would pass a disparate impact test?
— Regulations in cities disproportionately impact Black people & recent immigrants, just by the geography they cover.
— Driving up costs & bother of gun ownership disproportionately impacts poor and working class people. Could “Emily” have ever gotten her gun in DC without the $ means, and flexible job to navigate the obstacle course? It’s almost like the barriers are intended to exclude poorer or non-white collar people.
— Increased enforcement of “victim-less crimes”, particularly minor drug possession, excludes a very skewed set of people from gun ownership, among other things. Every time they propose adding hurdles to background checks, what’s the hit on this group, vs. that group?
Umm, didn’t the shooter and the guy who shot the shooter have the same model gun? Just asking. Seems to be short on intelligence and possibly facts.
WHAT…WHAT…WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!!!

And here in the Land of the Free, the poorest of us can still afford a simple pump shotgun, toss it in the back of our beat-up old truck and go blast a few clays on the weekend; all because our Elected Leaders are not allowed to tailor our gun laws to favor only the wealthy and well-connected… usually…
Are you non-Americans out there listening?
Why, yes, we are kind of smug about that.
I wandered in to the high priced stuff at LL Bean once. They had a couple priced about half of the Purdy. I asked how could anyone take such a thing out in the kind of weather we have up here for duck hunting. The salesman couldn’t offer an answer.
