get a concealed carry permit, and if you cannot qualify for because of a prior felony or anything else. get a wooden baseball bat and drive large nails thru it at the end. Just dont strike out.

Serious. Even if you do not want to it is a wise thing to do. Find a good instructor, not one who will breaze through the class but one who will answer your questions and is very thorough.

Below is a list of a couple of good training facilities. there is another in columbus but you will have to look it up.

Myself, i have had guns pulled on me 4 different times in my life, 2 of them have been while i was broke down along the road. So be careful out there.

[ballpeen]

So how much time did you get for chasing after them in your car and crashing in to them?

[ruban2]

I prefer hand to hand combat myself. I like the feel of breaking someones bones.

[Kosar_For_President]

This dude didn't have a gun, but still a bunch of charges are going to be filed.

i first drove cross country when i got back from germany. was still a young idiot and didn't think anything could happen to me. thinking back on it i could've been jacked many times considering everytime i stopped i'd find the nearest bar either in the hotel or close to it and get smashed. i drove a truck for a friend a couple of years ago out to telluride, co. didn't have a gun but a big ass rambo knife. can't get a handgun in ny. if i had to i'd get a pump shotgun. too many horror stories nowadays of scumbags trying to take what you have and throwing you away like a bag of garbage when they're done. days of getting xxxxed up beyond belief where you can't take care of yourself are over. now i just get comfortably numb.

sure, hey felons, drive some nails in so the jury can see it was premeditated--brilliant!!

no offense but driving around and/or simply carrying around a spiked bat is straight amateur hour T>>>there's no one a cop would rather bust, regardless of who started it. that's definitely asking for more trouble.

imo you'd be much better off getting a blade with a deep choil, like the spyderco lava. 1.75" blade is short enough you can legally conceal it w/out catching an additional charge.

a phenomenal combat knife and extremely difficult to wrestle from your hand. i love mine--it's become my (EDC) every day pocket knife now.

sorry about the weirdo in the vid.

the AR-7 is an outstanding firearm to throw in the trunk and just forget about. in case you are not familiar it is a semi auto 22. caliber survival rifle that was designed for Air Force pilots (1958?) to fit in in their bug out bag to stay alive with until they were rescued.

the barrel unscrews and it and the receiver ("pistol guts") are stored in the plastic stock along with room for a couple magazines-basically just three pieces not including clips. weighing in at 2.5 lbs it also floats and the butt cap makes a waterproof seal.

because it breaks down it's totally legal to drive around with and reassembles in 30 seconds or so but with a little practice you could do it in 20 seconds in the dark.

also great for canoe/kayak/backpacking/camping/car-camping situations and for small game. imo everyone should have at least one. get the Henry rifle model but not the others.

[calfoxwc]

Hey, Sisky - that is a great idea !

I have to go look that up. Henrys are expensive, but

it would be worth it.

heck yeah. makes a great gift for a son like 13 or so too if you have one. maybe their favorite gift ever(!). i know i wish i had gotten one.

a ruger 10/22 backed up by an AR-7 would keep a family living in the right place eating well for a really long time. and .22 ammo is cheap enough you can plink your ass off and/or teach the boy right. or the trunk thing for if you get a flat (on the beltway in D.C. at night )

if you have a local Gander Mtn or Cabela's i've seen them there. finding them on the used/discounted table to me is a big enough score to swoop in for a quick check whenever i'm in the area passing by. or even call/leave a contact # if they get some used.

here's Marlin's option for a breakdownable .22 with a much newer design than the AR-7.

i've never shot one though and fwiw the fella in the vid has never shot a henry AR-7 lol.

new Marlin technology vs. a time tested design probably=what feels good in your hand imo.

lol egos are funny.

[Pumpkin Eater]

I'd just get a 9mm and a concealed carry permit.

I've had one of these for a few years. They are awesome. You can clip it to your pants/belt or put it in your pocket.

[calfoxwc]

If it were me, I'd just pick the one that feels the best in your hand, and perhaps in your Wife's hand, and consider the price.

Both seem to be extremely high quality guns.

We bought a SCCX I think it was, an American company that just makes the 9mm models. I use the extended finger jobbie on the clips

since it isn't very big.

Pretty good question. There's probably a couple of guys here who can tell you from a more professional point of view.

Nice weapon.

[Mr. T]

I went to check out the Taurus Judge, that is a nice weapon. I'm not a revolver fan even though I own a few but I think I am going to have to add this one.

There is another youtube called the Judge vs. the watermelon.

I like revolvers for ease of use, and nothing is as reliable.

Re-load is the drawback, but when you get down to it, if you are having to re-load, you've probably lost anyway.

[calfoxwc]

My H&R .22 revolver is a NINE shot.

I wouldn't have to reload ! GGG

Well, and the clip for our 9 mm I think is a ten? shot.

We haven't made it out back or to a shooting range to fire it yet.

Farming, too busy... @@

[Mr. T]

I just picked up a glock 27, its a 9 + 1

Have not shot it yet, but we are heading out sunday to shoot up some targets.

I think I will bring along a few other guns/rifles and have some fun.

I am looking for one of these below, a Kel Tec Sub
