I carry a Kimber Pro Carry. It is a great gun but it is quite heavy. If I wear it on my hip, it pulls my trousers down. So most of the time, I carry in a shoulder holster. Unless you have the luxury of wearing a robe or a jacket to work, you might be better off with a smaller, lighter handgun.

Slings for home defense

What's your experience with slings for home defense shotguns? None (can't get snagged), one point, 3 point? Which do you use, if any?

SG

I had a similar experience with SG but they kept updating me by email and asking if I wished to continue or cancel the order. The ammo order eventually arrived at the promised price albeit a few months later. But it was a no lose proposition. If the price went down, I could cancel. If the price went...

new barrel for Ruger Mark III

I have a 6 7/8 inch fluted SS barrel on my Ruger Mark III but find it a little muzzle heavy. Does anyone have any experience with aftermarket 5 inch bull barrels they would like to share?

Heller case

How frightening is it that a right that pre-dates the Constitution was, but for one vote, taken away from us! While the decision is a tremendous victory for our rights, I fear it is only one battle in a war that those who would take away our rights will continue to fight. Now if we can get all the S...

ear protection

I even hung a set of muffs on the vacuum cleaner and insist my wife gives them to me to wear before she turns on the hurricane maker. When shooting, I use a noise cancelling set that works well (until the batteries die) and always carry a set of foam plugs in the range bag just in case someone bring...

choice of shotgun for home defense

I am curious about what shotguns are used for home defense/security. I have looked at and fired the Rem 870, 1100 and Mossberg 590A. What are your choices, experiences, recommendations?

Hmmm. if marriages were like handguns, would you be married if you went from one state to another? Think of the possibilities! The recognition of marriages across state lines is based on the "Full Faith and Credit" clause of the U.S. Constitution. I'll have to find out why it doesn't equally apply t...

I can't speak about MA with any actual knowledge. This state by state licensing is somewhat stupid. I can drive a car with a license from any state anywhere in the U.S. I can even drive a car with a foreign license and a valid visa. But even if I have a license validly issued in NY State, I can't ca...

CT

Actually, CT has a very good licensing system. I, a NY resident, applied for a CT permit. they told me it would take 7 weeks from when the paperwork was submitted. The paperwork was fairly simple. seven weeks on the nose, my permit arrived. CT also does require a permit for home possession and the p...
