Gotta love it when someone whips out an obscure quote from "Robocop"...

WELL DONE!

an obscure quote from "Robocop"...

THAT'S it!!! I knew the quote but couldn't place it. I was going to try to track that one down on imdb.com...

Good discussion and I've been looking. Like some others I grew up mostly target shooting while in Scouts. Just a week ago went to the range with a group from church. We had around 30 guys who all brought their guns so we had a great variety to shoot ranging from .22 rifles and pistols, 9mm, 10mm, .40 glock 22 police revolver (Baltimore officer was there with us), a shotgun and a 44 magnum dirty harry :-)

I have to say, after shooting the 44 mag the others just seemed a bit weak. Probaby the glock 22 was my favorite overall while still remaining somewhat practical (ie the only reason the 44 mag was out). I was holding I felt a pretty good 6" diameter grouping at around 25 yards, note again not having shot many handguns and first time shooting this gun. The 44 mag was the only handgun I had better accuracy with, but it had the 8-3/8 barrel. Besides the size I'm thinking the ammo expense puts it off my list.

I gotta get my gun before the liberals take away my rights to do so :-)

x2, another favorite movie. That film was SOOO ahead of it's time, and easily my favorite Verhoeven film. Talk about a great gun film, too! Gotta love the 50 cal action!

I carry a Glock 19 off duty.
I'm with Kodiak... I intend to get a Kahr PM this year for a backup/off-duty gun.

FYI, most feed problems with the Glocks are due to the magazine spring, not the gun or the ammo. Especially if they bear a weapon mounted light. I have shot over 200 rounds through my 19 and had no failures, except when firing lead (which the manufacture expressly says not to do). High end, low end, reloads, didn't matter. I've shot innumerable rounds through duty Glocks over the last ten years and never had any problems.

Castle law, now extends to auto also. You don't have to wait to be attacked either.If you fear for your safety SHOOT.
One guy, I thought got away with murder.He shot and killed a homeless dude going thru his trash. He was on the second floor of his house and just shot the guy. The judge let him off!

I've held class 1 and 10 FFL for many years. My opinions on RIGHT to carry should come as no suprise.

I recently let them expire over the issue of implied consent to search my home at any time.

If you decide to carry never forget that you carry the means of your own destruction with you. Do not carry if you are not prepared to deal with every consequence of taking someone life. Be that bad dreams, lawsuits, or vengeful relatives of the deceased.

Certainly a revolver is the most reliable firearm you can carry. An automatic will show less through clothes though. Whichever you carry should be hammerless, and if you can afford to, get it melted.

Remember if you exercise the right to carry that you are a 2nd class citizen. You give up other rights.

You can not risk getting into a scuffle with someone, because it will lead to one of you getting shot. You have to shrug off things where you might have otherwise pushed someone back, or similar.

Keep it a secret if you carry. If your friends know, they will commonly act up when you go out expecting that you will back them up.

If you get pulled over while carrying keep your hands well in sight. As the officer approaches the car tell him that you are authorised to CCW, and are doing so. You don't want him to suddenly catch a glimpse of you wearing it unannounced.
