Rachel, there was a case right here in Fort Wayne a number of years ago, out in the Brighton Meadows apartment that should help to prove your case. A local woman had purchased a gun, completed an NRA training course, and practiced with her weapon until she was proficient, "just in case." The...
I "took the ride" about three weeks ago as part of my certification, and I'll agree that it was to longest five seconds of my life (to date). The probed impacted my back, with the upper landing on my spine between the shoulder blades, and the lower nailing me just to the inside of my right...
I've been carrying a Victorinox Tinker for over 21 years & even misplaced the original for a while. I immediately bought another one, then stumbled across my original, so I keep a spare around the house. I couldn't begin to count the number of times someone has asked for a flat or...
This is a great thread! It reminds me a lot of the times I first took my son shooting, and then included my daughter when she expressed an interest. Of course, this all occurred back when I was still kind of a big deal to them, rather than just being an embarrassing, yet necessary source of funds!
Depending on the agency and their records management system, officers may know whether you're a permit holder already. Our system shows whether or not local drivers have a LTCH, since they probably applied for it with one of the local departments using the same database. It's really not a big...
Wow, it's becoming pretty obvious that no one here has ever actually been to a bank within minutes of a robbery, or knows anyone who works in a bank. I have, and the employees are often terrified to the point of hysterics. They've just had guns pointed at their heads by some thug screaming at...
True, Indiana does not legally require citizens to inform a police officer if you're carrying a weapon during it traffic stop. Nor does Indiana require breathing, sleeping, eating, or proper manners, but most people see these things as necessary without being told. It would seem that common...
Hi Point carbines may have their fans, but I never could learn to like their pistols, even a little bit. I used to supervise our Crime Scene unit, and part of our responsibilities was the test-firing of any handgun in our property room for IBIS purposes. Without exception, every Hi Point...
I went to the Fort Wayne Show on 5/16, and the selection really wasn't that bad. I was looking for a 1911 trade in particular & couldn't find the deal I wanted, but that's how things work out sometimes. I did see the vendor mentioned earlier with his guns just piled up on a table. I took one...
Daniel, if you end up getting any of the "Back-up Belt" system accessories, let me know what you think of them will you? I'm getting new 5.11 uniform trousers and may opt to use this system, depending on what real people think.
