    Wikipedia credibility?

    +1 for verifying the source and Doward's comments. As a starting point it is perfect search engine of sorts, but that's as far as I would trust it without verifying the sources.

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    Okay, I'll bite Mr. Enigma. Enlighten us with specific NRA hurts personal gun ownership examples with legitimate citations; no silly wikipedia type sources. ;) Also, if you'd like, please step up to Clueless and SupraCentral's challenge and give one example of a mass shooting at any of the...

    What's got your panties in a bunch, neatoman? First this: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showpost.php?p=926909&postcount=4 and now this kind of stupidity. Other anti's have posted in this thread before and gotten nowhere. As far as this thread goes, gtfo. Hey, after a quick peek at...

    musicians on SM?

    I'm in a Kazoo Marching Band. Does that count? :) It's our group costume for the annual Polar Bear Plunge next Saturday (Feb 23) to raise money for Special Olympics, and I'm still taking sponsorship if anybody's intersted at this url...

    I finally took my Kahr to the range yesterday and OMG! :love: It's like this gun was custom made for me. It fits my hand perfectly, easy to point, and feels solidly steady in my hand with a very smooth and predictable trigger pull. Overall I was able to shoot much better groups than I did...

    Appendicitis

    Happened to my wife last summer on the day the two of us were leaving for a long weekend get away. Instead she spent the weekend in the hospital, but everything went fine. A guy at work had his rupture, which is when things get very serious. He was out for 6 or 8 weeks iirc. Sounds like...

    Went desert shooting

    Why start at 25 yards? It's pretty long for a self defense gun. The vast majority of self defense shots are fired at or under 7 yards, and when I go to the range I see a lot of people practice at this range, myself included for 75% of the time. If he can at least hit the target at a...

    OWB Holster Suggestions Needed! I've got pocket and IWB holsters for my new MK9, but I want an OWB holster too. I'm looking for something comfortable, and most importantly as concealable as possible, all while keeping within a reasonable price. So I'm thinking Kydex paddle holster. Sound...

    Sorry Jon... :( When it came right down to it, I really value having the ability to choose between IWB and pocket carry and the small dimensional differences between the K9 and MK9 were enough to convince me to go as small as possible. As it is, I was planning on buying a PM9 for weight, but...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    Just got back from the gun show with this: The Kahr MK9 I was really tempted by Jon's tritium sighted K9, but once I had the chance to compare the mk9 and k9 side by side and slip both into my pocket, the decision was made. I traded off the Kel Tec and (suprisingly little :) ) cash...

    I thought it must be low, but then again I don't think twice about changing the batteries in my smoke detectors on a regular basis, either. I'll be sure to remind those democrats to throw out their smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and seat belts if that's all they have to go on. ;) If...

    Does anybody have any idea what the odds of needing to use a firearm in self defense are? I know it's a really open question and could be broken down into home vs out in public, or brandishing vs firing, etc., but overall are there statistics on what percentage of handgun owners and/or ccw...

    asp.net - p/w protected user on my computer?! help!

    I found a router installed by daughter's boyfriend after they were told not to mess with my computer, because they managed to mess up my company provided router before. Then I happen to find ASP.NET - a user I've never seen before with password protection - at the same time. I wanted to be...

    asp.net - p/w protected user on my computer?! help!

    So I found a wireless router on my computer, and am pretty sure it was installed by my daughter's boyfriend so she could use her laptop. I will find out for sure later. Well, the internet wasn't working and I ended up finding that he had changed the settings to a static IP address, which was...
