    Kid's pediatrician asked about guns in the house

    Re: Kid's pediatrician asked about guns in the house This is our second doctor in this practice, we fired the first because he got visibly upset at us a few times for opting out of the flu vaccine. When he slammed his clipboaard and walked out I had my fill. Here is the letter I intend to...

    We just had our 3rd baby and she had her first appointment this morning. After the typical questions about her birth weight/length and hospital info they really upset me. Nurse assist- Any animals at home and what? Me: (puzzled) A couple dogs Nurse assist- Anyone smoke at home? Me: Um, no...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Trying to decide on auto 22LR pistol

    Re: Trying to decide on auto 22LR pistol I have a ruger 22/45 and a Sig trailside, love both of them. Right now the ruger gets more rounds because it is new. The sig feels amazing and is very fun to shoot. Prices on it are getting high, I picked mine up about 10 years ago when they were still...

    FSA (Syria) gets a headshot *Warning:GRAPHIC*

    Re: FSA (Syria) gets a headshot *Warning:GRAPHIC* Just to add my thoughts to the post 2 above me... I find it interesting that America has been supporting these uprisings in the middle east. It seems to me that as each country finds its freedoms, they are removing a dictator and exchanging...

    Target rounds not good for protection?

    Re: Target rounds not good for protection? Whoever posted that fmj works for the military should remember that they use fmj out of obligation due to a treaty, not because of superior performance. I will give this observation as a police officer. I see a lot of bad guys who get shot multiple...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Police buy backs are they ok or stay away from?

    Re: Police buy backs are they ok or stay away from? I would say go for it, most cops don't put more rounds through their guns than they are required to do for their yearly qualifications.

    Recommend a powder similar to Varget

    Re: Recommend a powder similar to Varget Could I add another issue to the mix? Looking for something not temp sensative. I did some researching on 2000MR and it *looks* from what I have read so far it is pretty temp stable. Are there any other options I should look at? I really...

    Recommend a powder similar to Varget

    It seems like I am having hard time finding Varget lately, one of my local places had some 8 pounders a week or 2 ago but I was short on money... Anyway, I am wondering if there was a powder that is similar to Varget that might have a little more availability. Because I have no extra Varget, I...

    Price gouging vs supply and demand...

    Re: Price gouging vs supply and demand... Others may not agree with me, but when I think of gouging I think of businesses charging outrageous and unrealistic prices for things people need- food, water etc. I find that unscrupulous and wrong. I wouldn't even put gas as something that can be...

    13 shots in 4.2 Seconds?

    Re: 13 shots in 4.2 Seconds? I would encourage reading some of Col. Grossman's work on killing. He has very good write ups on how the mind observes and reacts to deadly force encounters, good info with a lot of research and interviews on soldiers and officers actually involved in deadly...

    Amanda Todd

    Re: Amanda Todd I have often thought how thankful I am texting and facebook didn't exist when I was a teen. I was bullied until highschool when I got bigger than everyone else and was able to stop it. But the face to face bullying may be the least of it, seeing that someone can be tortured...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Acceptable / Typical Failure Rates

    Re: Acceptable / Typical Failure Rates What would you like me to expound upon? My gun gets regular maintenance, new parts yearly, cleaned after every shooting session and zero reloads. All the ammo it has ever seen is Speer Lawman practice ammo (180gr) and Speer Gold Dots (180 hollow point)...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Acceptable / Typical Failure Rates

    Re: Acceptable / Typical Failure Rates My duty glock 22 has seen many thousands of rounds, probably close to 15k in the past 7 years (just put 1k through it last tuesday). I have had only one malfunction and it was caused by a broken pin, but even that I wouldn't call a problem- it kept...

    Rifle Scopes 100 yd zero, bullseye or high?

    Re: 100 yd zero, bullseye or high? I zero on the bull. My dad used to zero an inch or 2 high at 100 (not sure which) because he said it would be on at 200. That was also with a duplex reticle, standard turrets. Not sure if thought process was accurate or not, but he shot a ton of deer.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 40 caliber, like or don't like

    Re: 40 caliber, like or don't like I am issued a Glock 22 and I like it. As a firearms instructor for my department I notice that a lot of officers have trouble shooting it, but I am certain that has more to to with them not shooting enough. After almost 30,000 rounds through my Glock 22 I...

    Just starting to record my shots, but why?

    Re: Just starting to record my shots, but why? I bought my book from Storm tactical here on the Hide, I find it is a good resource. I don't have ballistic programs, most of my shooting was guess work at first, so their velocity and drop charts were a good starting point for me. But now, after...
