      Defensive Handgun Concepts Level 1

      This date is about as perfect for me as one can get. The idea of driving 3+ hours each way (from Chicago) to attend a 4 hour course was a bit much, but seemed like it might be worth it based on the reviews. However, this course is the day after another defensive pistol course that I wanted to...

      RUN! HIDE! FIGHT! DHS Offers Tips To Survive A Shooting

      I prefer the San Antonio Police Department's version of this video. It deals with some of the issues that may be of interest to people on this forum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKyLxDv9C9U

      Armed citizens running out of ammo in real life?

      Hi guys, I am always impressed by the depth of knowledge and experience of guys on this forum, so I thought I would pose a question. Has anyone heard of ANY situation where an armed citizen (NOT a police officer) lost the fight because they ran out of ammo? If you do not know of that type...

      Civil prosecution immunity?

      Just to add: There are several companies offering concealed carry/self defense insurance. Some (as HoosierLife mentioned) ONLY cover expenses during a criminal trial. However, some do provide civil damages insurance as well. I was looking at the USCCA's insurance plan and it seems that they...

      Civil prosecution immunity?

      I would like to know this too. I know that Illinois has civil immunity if the shooting is ruled self defense, but that immunity is only from being sued by your attacker and his next of kin. For example, if I am being robbed and I shoot my attacker and kill him, his family can't sue me for any...

      Recoil of 38 special vs Taurus TCP

      It will be interesting to find out which has less recoil, especially with non +p .38 rounds. Regarding the Taurus Polymer 38, I actually ordered one from Kygunco last week that was on sale for a great price. I pick it up tomorrow. Quite often, I see a TCP for sale in the $169-$189 range...

      Do you carry enough ammo? (NEWS)

      In almost every video of a attempted home invasion (whether it is 1 attacker or 6) as soon as the homeowner starts firing back WITH ANYTHING those punks scatter like the scared little roaches they are. The courage/commitment of criminals seems to be inversely proportional to their numbers...

      Democrats trying to draft Michael Bloomberg for presidential run

      Pretty accurate. There is this core group of Bloomberg fanboys who like him, but A LOT of people despise the man. Personally, if I were a Republican candidate, I would be praying for a Bloomberg run. Mayor "We should stop and frisk more black people" Bloomberg would be the only Dem candidate...

      Falsely Imprisoned Man Gets $650,000 From Indianapolis Tax Payers

      I would be willing to stay locked in jail for $650K if I KNEW going in that I would be freed at the end of 11 months. However, to spend 11 months in jail, with each day thinking that you will be in prison for the rest of your life for a crime you didn't commit would be too much for me. The...

      For Those That Carry On an Empty Chamber

      Training with my firearm and practicing disengaging the safety during my draw goes without saying (but I will say it anyway). I view carrying a gun with a safety vs not as an all or nothing proposition. Either you train your draw to disengage the safety every time or don't bother carrying with...

      For Those That Carry On an Empty Chamber

      For the people who carry without a round in the chamber. Why not just carry a gun with a manual safety? This is obviously a very popular topic on gun forums, but every time I ask that question no one has an answer. It just makes no sense to me at all. This isn't the '90s when the only...

      The bravest idiot in town.

      Honestly, those cars were going so slow in this "pursuit" that I thought the video was having problems buffering.

      This Happened Fast

      I find it interesting that almost every video of a defensive gun use is either from the United States or Brazil. I wonder what their CCW laws are like down there.

      Visiting the "Land of Lincoln" for a few days...

      IANAL but I am an Illinois resident. From reading the law, You can have your loaded handgun in the car with you (just like you said). HOWEVER, when you leave your car you can't just carry the LOADED firearm with you in a locked container. The "locked container" provision specifically dealt...

      Why haven't you taken a training class?

      If you are willing to go to Illinois for ANY other reason, you might as well go there for training. In fact, it would probably be easier. Just put your gun in a case before the state line, drive directly to the training center (no stops), take the training, then drive directly back to Indiana...

      Why haven't you taken a training class?

      Since you are in NWI, check out the options available across the border in Illinois. I am from Chicago, so I look at schools in Illinois, Indiana and southern Wisconsin. I was willing to drive 3 hours for shotgun training because those courses are pretty rare. If you are willing to drive an...

      Why haven't you taken a training class?

      One of the reasons I think that others do not train is they may not know what options are available near them. Many people may not realize that there is good training within a few hours of them. Also, they may overestimate how much training cost from some of the lesser known, but highly...

      Thanks for telling me about this instructor. He teaches less than a half hour away from my home!

      Fresh perspective from a Baltimore Native

      I agree (dang, you beat me to the Boston Tea Party example). However, in the case of rioting and looting in these poor urban communities, that is the one thing that we know DOES NOT work. By work, I mean actually improving the community. After the 1968 riots, there was no massive...

      What is the end goal of neutering this countries police forces?

      Also, I don't want anyone to get the impression that I am anti-police or have had negative encounters with police. I am a black man on the South Side of Chicago and my encounters with police have been almost 100% positive. In fact, they have been FAR MORE than positive, they have been...
