This whole conversation can be easily distilled.

Here in the U.S there is and has always been a fascination with firearms which goes back to our earliest history. Folks just love guns, they need...

Hey, I saw that movie about Davy Crockett at the Alamo and I saw him swinging that musket and killing those invaders by the score. He didn't even need no bullets.

That's another thing. They won't let me get a Street Sweeper and I want one. Why if I had one I could go down to the Prairie Dog City and take care of those pesky critters once and for all.

Exactly, and that's the same reason I can't get a Thermo Nuclear device. All this nonsense and trash talk about 'weapons of mass destruction" What twit even coined that phrase? I just want something...

Reminds me of a case I once worked on.

A semi retired well known Mafiosi who settled in Van Horn, Texas. He used to drive around town (and not much of a town to drive around) with a trailer...

I had my initial Firearms training at the NYPD Academy and they used to recount the notion of how an LEO gets shot in the finger and he's down for the count and the bad guy gets shot 5 times and...

This thread is starting to sound like the one about WOW razors. Everyone thinking they have one and few even realize what one is.

Many years ago I spent a couple of weeks at a training facility...

Not being in the situation and thinking about it at your leisure can make everyone an expert at taking the guy out just like the Monday morning quarterback. Being suddenly thrust into that situation...

yes it was removed.

For those who read it just don't forget it's one man's opinion and it's not typical for most cops. The notion you strap on a gun and you have an answer to a mugging is folly in...

It's very simply really. Alcohol is part of our society, no matter where you live (with few exceptions). How many folks as kids brag about drinking and driving or drinking in general. It's too much a...

You really think all this stuff is to stop smart motivated terrorists? It's just window dressing to make the citizenry feel nice and safe and catch the stupid ones.

I'm just reading these arguments based on statistics. What a waste of time. Statistics can be made to say whatever you want and when one side can't find biased stats to "support" their view they just...

The postscript there is in the hands of a highly trained fighter.

The fact is if you encounter a knifefighter and you have a firearm holstered and you are within 20 feet or so and he charges you...

Folks have been around far longer than firearms and little guys have always found a way to equal the playingfield on the battlefield and off. Heck, look at David and Goliath. You do believe that...

So I have a question to ask all of you be you pro or anti gun.

You wake up tomorrow morning and every firearm in the U.S is gone (yes Obama was busy last night like an anti Santa Claus) so what...

Most criminals aren't very smart (that's why the prisons are bursting at the seams) and they don't think too good. They take the easiest way and copy what other criminals do which seems to work until...

it's been a continual and gradual change really. When I started in 74 we had 38 special and a couple years later we were allowed to have 357. It was around 85 we were allowed to have semiautos-9mm...

No, not totally true. The main reason organizations change weapons and rounds is because they find themselves outgunned by one individual. Think the FBI shootout in Miami with the guy with the...

Back in my college days I was heavily into cave exploring and a couple times a year we would make the trek to West Virginia which is a big time cave area. We would go off in groups way into the hills...

Training my butt, it's just a feel good thing. The fact is when "highly trained" LEOs find themselves in a shootout how many bullets are expended hitting the bad guy a couple of times and how many...

I agree and I get really ticked off when the State says I can't drive my exotic sports car down the interstate at 185 MPH. I mean swerving in and out of traffic at that speed is fun. Too bad if the...

Gun control laws in the U.S? That's just a strawman argument folks like to make to "prove" these laws don't work. I grew up in NYC which has a law saying you use a handgun and it's prison...

Hmmm, 240 or so posts and what do we see. Some like guns, some don't. Some blame society for everything, Some blame individuals for everything, some think guns kill people, some think people kill...

The statistics out there have never changed and don't take this as an anti-gun post cause I own several but if you have a weapon and can carry it's more likely either it will be stolen in a robbery...
