I am still dismayed by the number of fatalities of automobile-related accidents versus negligent discharges. Then again, you can always count on the media to do what is popular/sensational, rather than what's right.
17Chap,
Thanks for the encouragement and thank you for the links. I should be clear that it was brought up to one elder and friend of my 'accuser'. Had they gone to either of the other 2 elders, they would have been asked, "Have you spoke with him(me, that is) about it?" Then, they would...
Thanks for the thoughts. I have done a bit of praying and I just know that God has given me the tools and the knowledge to defend myself. After looking pretty heavily at the Scriptures, I have come to the conclusion that it IS a matter of choice, just like anywhere else I carry. If I can...

Frustatingly sad news,

Long story short, I was asked why I...
I carried this gun for about a year. I liked it. Recoil is manageable, but don't expect a super quick follow-up shot (if you ever needed to). I loved this gun. Its the slimmest glock on the market and if you don't mind square edges, it will suit you fine in the summertime. I sold it because...
