That's an interesting point, Kirk, but I'm not sure of the relevance? The SWAT guy was taking the place of an armed assailant. Scenario 1 had him as a disgruntled or terminated employee who came back to exact vengeance. Scenario 2 had him as a terrorist taking over an office building.
A Texas news station set up a training demonstration with licensed concealed carriers at varying levels of training to test the adage "The only thing that stops a Bad Guy with a gun is a Good Guy with a gun."
The test could have been a bit more scientific. While they may not have known what the...
I mentioned that in the second comment. I give my best effort to pay attention to political speeches, etc without getting hot blooded. I'll try to listen, analyze, and research to find the truth somewhere in the middle. But hearing that from our President this afternoon got my blood a'boiling.
He referred to the Constitution as the/that "paper". He mentioned protecting other constitutional rights by limiting gun access, but decried the voting down of the terrorist watch list bill. Selective interpretation much? What about the 5th and 14th amendment protections of due process...
Thank you both for your input. I am officially a proper person. The card arrived today (finally). I know things don't end here. More training and listening to the :ingo: experts needed ;)
I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I applied for my Indiana ltch and the application has been approved. This approval happened a short time ago, but I have yet to receive my card via mail. I'm guessing the holidays have it delayed a bit.
Since my approval form has the license number, etc...
Earlier in this thread we were discussing the fighting spirit, or lack of, of the French. I just wanted to remind everyone that it does exist. Read the first stanza of their national anthem if you need a reminder.
This horrible incident is nothing to celebrate. But we can hope that it serves...
I've been pretty lazy about applying for my LTCH. I hunt regularly, I am at the range as often as I can be. I train.. but I don't carry. It's dumb.
My family has recently grown. My SO and I had a son a month ago. She has a two year old daughter. I've never felt the desire to carry as strongly...
I'll throw in my :twocents: here and agree with Mgderf. All of the above advice is few great.. But don't think of it like a checklist you have to accomplish before you hunt. I started last year and I've fallen in love. I wish I had access to some mentorship... but I've learned quite a lot just...
Nice job. Looks like you had good weather for it. We were overcast and drizzly most of the day so I didn't get out after work. I'm going to try to get out Thursday since I have the day off!
