My usual "little friend" today.
The long barrel , compensated G 20.
But then we had over an inch of snow, so it's back to the winter coat!

Where are u from Crosshair? Ashtabula?
I am originally NE Ohio. Mentor , then Geauga county.
Worked for ages in Euclid.

Damn, bro...

There are a few reasons you can get away with carrying that cannon daily.

1) you work where and for whom you do,
2) GREAT leather,
3) jackets, daily, I'd suspect,
4) you ain't exactly "small".

How close to "right" am I?

But, yeah, that'd be rather comforting, and more than rather effective on anything you chose to use it against.

My kind of carry gun.

My favorite carry gun is a Browning HP clone (FEG). It just feels good and is accurate and will feed with any ammo I have tried.

That, or a 1911. When and where did you get an FEG?

Agree on the SP101 in .357. Mine has an action job, is ported, & has night sights. I set the wife up with a S&W Ladysmith in .38 also with an action job, porting, & night sights. I usually have a 44 Blackhawk in my truck in a mount under the visor. I'm probably in good shape for an OK Corral type shoot out.

I found it a pawn shop a few months ago. I thought I told you about it. Maybe not.

You ain't said nuffin'...

Need to see pics.

It the senility kicking. I'll try to get some pictures in the next day or two.

dang, hope you don't fall in the creek with all of that!

might have a bit of trouble sneakin into the airport too!

Glock 30. You can't go wrong with 10+1 45acp

Well said and well put. I think carrying concealed is much better myself,the less anyone knows the better. I carry a factory DAO M60 SW that was made for NYPD only thing those turds ever got right.They sold them all after they went to some wonder gun semi auto. Some times I carry others when I am clothed well enuf to insure their concealibilty. I like sw's from 1945 to 1980 and have a few auto's also but I can use them all proficiently... Magnum Man

Hey Seafire, I'm not from nor have I ever been to Oregon, but I just had to investigate your fear that your state would prosecute you for defending your home. In the yahoo search engine I typed "oregon home defense law" and this article was one of the first (and many) to pop up and it was just reported yesterday:

* Friend IDs man killed in Portland shooting

PORTLAND -- A man killed in a Southeast Portland apartment Thursday was shot by his neighbor in self-defense, police said.

The Oregon State Medical Examiner concluded Friday that 49-year-old Vincent Lee Wyatt, of Southeast Portland, died from multiple gunshot wounds.

Dale Lloyd Duncan, 69, was in his own apartment and banged on the wall to alert the next door neighbor that the noise in that apartment was too loud, according to Portland Police Sgt. Pete Simpson.

Background: Friend identifies man killed in Portland shooting

Wyatt was visiting the next door unit and went over to confront Duncan, at which point he entered Duncan's residence, Simpson said. Wyatt threatened and pushed Duncan, so Duncan got a handgun and fired several shots.

Simpson said Wyatt then fell and landed on top of Duncan, who is medically fragile. When police arrived, Duncan was calling for help, with Wyatt lying on top of him.

Wyatt died at the scene and Duncan was transported to an area hospital for an unrelated medical condition. Duncan has cooperated with investigators.

No arrests were anticipated and no charges were expected to be filed in the case, as investigators determined the shooting was self-defense.



We're still in America, and we are still entitled to a trial by peers. I could never imagine 12 people all agreeing to send you to prison for killing a thug with a weapon trained on your loved one/self. Governments/laws be damned, the trial by peers infallibly enters logic into their (lawmakers) mostly illogical thought processes. God Bless the Founding Fathers, God Bless America!

There is no such term or phrase regarding "peers" in the Constitution, although today, its use is common.

Article VI reads, "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an IMPARTIAL [emphasis added] jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, ..."

Afterall, if one were entitled to a "jury of one's peers," then the jury at O.J. Simspon's murder trial should have been comprised of 12, black, professional football players, all running backs with perhaps a couple of tight ends.

L.W.

I never said it was in the Constitution. I used verbage identical to several judges I've witnessed in courtrooms. But then I wasn't picking nits.

Just wondering what your favorite method of concealed carrying is. Mine usually is in a vest or coat pocket but in a Bianchi belly band in the summer. I would not like to have to purchase five or six holsters in order to find the right one. So, any advise? I'm talking about a four inch 45 cal. Kimber.

Does that mean that the meaning of words is meaningless to you?? And the judges??

L.W.

Give me a minute while I un-loosen my belt and get my dinner un-thawed.

Seafire, it appears your handle has changed to leanwolf.
