“I can think of nothing worse than having to witness my students being killed or maimed without me being able to at least attempt some sort of intervention . . . I might even die in the process, but, in my opinion, going down shooting would be better than standing in front of them helplessly.” Unidentified Utah teacher [not shown], Gun-toting Utah teachers to parents: Your kids are safe with us via sltrib.com
Most of those kids will start carrying guns by age 12 anyway. One more reason why I need a firearm.
“I might even die in the process…….going down shooting would be better than standing in front of them helplessly.” Well said.
Haha, those idiots left in the Colt Sporter loophole! Idiots! Just for anyone who has never lived there, what this means is that you can buy an AR-15 over the counter with background check and cash just so long as it has a 20-inch HBAR. But this may now make it illegal to modify the upper.
The original artical should have said “your kids are SAFER with us”. No one is ever truely safe.
And if you don’t stand in opposition with us, it’s soon coming to a liberal politician near you.
CA doesn’t have a monopoly on stupid. NY, MD, IL, and other states have horrendous gun laws. Concealed carry is non-existent in IL pending litigation, and NY has 7 round mag limits. I am in now way defending CA gun laws, I’m just recognizing that other states have junk laws as well. Oppose stupid laws wherever you are – whether they be gun laws or traffic cameras.
Incidentally, WI has much better gun laws, but I’ve been stopped for doing 33 mph in a 25 zone. Seriously. The police officer asked me why I was stopped, and I told him that I had no idea. He wasn’t even driving a black and white cruiser – it was a solid blue SUV with low profile lights on top. So yes, I broke the law, but a similar sized road in CA with two lanes in each direction would have a speed limit of 35 or so. I bet I could track down stupid laws – such as artificially low speed limits – in every state in the union.
Still, low speed limits don’t threaten lives, but denied concealed carry and mag limits certainly do.
“Law enforcement visits and monitors gun shows. Don’t get into trouble!”
If someone indicates it would be illegal to sell to them, they are likely ATF! I’ve experienced it before and there’s a great scene in “Unintended Consequences” that deals with this. Don’t be stupid!
Private sale examples: “I’m glad you don’t do background checks because I probably wouldn’t pass” or “I just drove in from out of state because private sale laws are more restrictive where I’m from.”
Here, s the answer folks:

OH HELL YES!
Just jumped on an LC380 myself; $360 new at a retailer – very reasonable, and loved it (looks, feel, reputation) next to the comparable Kel-Tec which was $90 less.
No ammo (had to order some online – AGH!!!), so I’ve not yet fired it. For now, I love the look, feel, size, and weight for “summer carry” personal self-defense. Will also be perfect for teaching my 12 year-old who loves to shoot but, naturally, is skittish with the larger calibers. (.380 in a small-frame should be a great transition from 22 to larger calibers)
I love that I can carry this in shorts and/or IWB for self-defense and still enjoy practicing with it (claims of low recoil), including training my son at the range – – without the pain of a mouse gun (which is what I thought I was relegated to carry with light clothing).
The LC380 appears to be the perfect blend of size, caliber, quality, and comfort. I’m too new to fret over trigger characteristics, and the long stroke combined with DAO, for me, seems like a good substitute for using the little safety when I carry it.
I know better than to rely on a safety and loaded chamber indicator, but still – – as a relative newbie, these much-maligned features are probably good backups for training not only my wife and son, but even for a slightly more experienced me.
PS – I find the safety’s edges to have sufficient bite to effectively engage the skin on my thumb, despite its “tic tac” size.
It takes a significant amount of honesty and courage to admit that you were wrong. I can definitely respect that.
Yeah, they are still “mostly” free states, it’ not like they voted twice for Obama or something. Oh wait…
People who would like to see the aftermath of this type of “snitch society” that the Obama adherents fantasize about should invest a few bucks and see the German movie “Leben der Anderen” (Translation: “The Lives of Others”) about what happened after the communists fell in East Germany. Suddenly, the country found out from the Stasi files who had been spies in their midst for the government.
Net:net about one third of the population was enlisted by the government to spy on their families, neighbors, friends, co-workers, etc.
Even if they had a solid plan that doesn’t require tons of funding, the current administration won’t implement it. First, it wasn’t their idea, and that won’t win votes. Second, this administration is foaming at the mouth for another tragedy or ten to make a successful push at disarmament.
I really like this but do not have access to the technology or brains to make it happen. How much could I pay someone to just print one and slap an SN# on it and sell it to me “legally?” I know it defeats the purpose of the technology and that pesky, “shall not be infringed” thing lol.
But the antis have been telling me for months that a.) home invasions never(some will admit rarely) occur in an occupied residence b.) If a pig flies over a blue moon, it will only be one home invader c.) If the impossible happens and a home invader enters your home while you are there, they most assuredly wont be armed d.) Home invasions never occur with more than one perpetrator. Four strikes. They’re out.
