I'm guessing some type belt clip device

With a proper holster I'd think that would be next to impossible

This would allow you to shoot yourself

Head Shot

Even though the fight may be over, the scars can last forever. On September 19, 1863 in the Brock Field at Chickamauga, Jacob Miller of the 9th Indiana Infantry was shot in the face, but survived. 150 years ago, the Civil War was ending, but for men like Jacob Miller, a new fight was just beginning. He wrote, “I have an everyday reminder of it in my wound and constant pain in the head, never free of it while not asleep. The whole scene is imprinted on my brain as with a steel engraving.” Every time he looked in a mirror for the rest of his life, Jacob Miller saw the Chickamauga Battlefield, the scar imprinted forever.

You still keep it pointed in a safe direction, always.

Whoever is at fault, seems like a bad place to run a gas line

So what's in your bag?

Suggestions from Julie Golob

Mine has gotten to the point I found it easier to set a bag up for  each. Pistol, Rifle, and one for Shotgun, and have a bit of cross over items in each bag.

CCW holders

That solved a problem

No mayhem or carnge, imagine that.

Insight to History

What soldiers carry

Really it isn't that hard

To carry full size 

I admit to being a dinosaur, I still carry a steel gun, for years it was a Browning HP, in around 2009 I started carrying a 1911 in 9 mm, and currently a commander size with an alloy frame. Now do realize I'm not physically the biggest guy in the room, at 5 foot 3 inches, and around 130-135 lbs, so pardon me if I laugh when you bigger guys say it is to hard to conceal. Although there is part of me considering getting with the times, I really like FN's FNS 9L, and believe it would be a wonderful CCW pistol.

When traveling it pays to do research

You just never know

I had my own close call, in Nashville and I was staying in a $200 a night hotel. Friday evening early still daylight, I took Mags for a walk, dam few places in the city to walk the dog for dog purposes, if you know what I mean. Mags is my German Shepherd in training as a service and companion dog, and she is 10 months old. We had just gotten back to hotel, and as I rounded the corner, I noticed this guy just kind of walking around in the middle of the street, something not sure what it was, but I felt a red flag go up. I proceeded with the dog into the hotel, and was near the elevator, and the guy walked into the lobby, 2nd red flag and just squatted down, and looked around 3rd red flag. then stood up and headed for the exit, but gave me a direct look, and showed a grimace as he went out. The elevator arrived, and we got on, just as the door is closing I see he is back in lobby, and headed directly for the elevator, my hand is under my vest, and I at this point had a firing grip on pistol. I guess luck was with me, as the doors closed at this point and I didn't see him again. I have no idea what he had in mind, but evidently didn't see a half grown GSD an obstacle.

Yes it is that simple

To clear a double feed

I would add "Look" whenever your gun does not go bang when you want it too.

Well while most were interested in the new 249S


There was some buzz about the new FNS compact

But for myself I really think the FNS 9L would be a great carry gun.

NRA Coverage

His camera work was not the best but

Yes I was there, got a late start on Friday, forgot the camera on Saturday, and well by Sunday I realized that this year there really wasn't all that much in new and exciting, and just spent most of the time looking up people I knew

Want to thank the state of Tennessee

For not delaying 1/2 mile of resurfacing on I-65 north you only backed up traffic out of Nashville by  slightly over 2 hours!

Louis Awerbucks legacy lives on.

The course also covers ammunition selection, loading and unloading, reloading and ammunition selection while involved in a shooting scenario, shooting from several ready positions and various tactical body positions, dim-light and flashlight shooting, shooting on the move, moving targets, multiple targets and weapon retention. Transition to a pistol is covered for those clients who have taken prior pistol training. Ammunition requirement is 400 Birdshot, 50 Buckshot and 70 Slugs. Fifty (50) rounds of Pistol ammunition is required if the client wishes to participate in the Shotgun/Pistol transition portion of the course. A sling or carry strap on the weapon is MANDATORY for this course.

Anti gun personality gone

Sarah Brady dies

Everything was in plain sight

It is the naked truth

Recoil and it's effects

Testing calibers for recoil

For new shooters recoil can be intimidating, and cause flinching, for older shooters those little impacts can add up over time. When I got in NRA High Power, I had a soft recoiling 30.06, but everyone said if I was serious I'd go to 308, Well my 308 had a pretty good kick, and my performance went down, so I went to 223/556. But the flinch I had developed was so bad that if I didn't use plugs and ear muffs, when the guy beside me fired, my whole body flinched. Didn't even know I was doing it, but an RO ask me after a string of rapid fire prone if I'd had a seizure. It took about a year to get past that one.  

Then a couple of years ago, I put about 300 rounds of 45 auto down range, and felt like I'd been hit by a truck, I blew it off as anything but shooting, after all I had fired over 500 rounds of 45 in a day without any problems, then a month later ran 200 rounds of 45, next morning wrists, elbows, shoulders hurt like hell. Recoil does have an affect and after 50 years of shooting my body was telling me. So these days I keep it at light 9 mm's, and 223 and take something before extended range periods. Sometime in the last couple of years Todd Jarrett had to get reconstructive surgery in the elbows and shoulders, due to the tens of thousands of rounds he had fired over the length of his professional career. Recoil takes it toll.

Just Weird

Assault with a bra, and self-defense with a chicken?
