I'm about to buy another handgun, primarily for concealed carry/personal protection. I live in Texas, have a concealed carry license and want a handgun I can keep on me pretty much all of the time, probably around my waist somewhere. There are some serious gun nuts that cruise these threads and I want to draw from your experience to make the best pick.For a little help, I've used the Colt 1911 in .45 and .38 Super and loved the gun. I also really like my Baby Eagle in .45. The primary reason I like these two is the single-action trigger...

Some conservatives like to present the cliché counterargument that “guns don’t kill people; people kill people in debates about gun control. However, the question still remains: Exactly what argument do they think they are countering? It is not the “liberal stance” that guns in themselves have the ability to kill people and are evil. In fact, anyone who believes this nonsense, liberal or conservative, is just plain dumb. In fact, I – and most intelligent people...

I am looking for information on the Colt Pony and Colt Mustang. In looking at this page: http://www.colt.com/CMCI/pistols.asp I see no reference to either gun. Why is it missing, and where can I find side-by side comparisons of the two? Am I correct that they both are .380 ACP? Thanks.

In a sworn statement to be made public Tuesday, University of Colorado President Elizabeth Hoffman said a four-letter word used toward women can sometimes be used as a "term of endearment." The comment comes from Hoffman's latest sworn testimony in connection with a federal lawsuit against the university. The suit was filed by women who say they were sexually assaulted by CU football players and recruits. A lawyer for one of the women asked Hoffman about former CU kicker Katie Hnida being called the "c- word" by a teammate. That player was later disciplined by coach Gary Barnett for making...

TUESDAY JULY 9 2002 An Open Letter to Members of Congress © 2002 WorldNetDaily.com Dear Honorable Congresspersons: One of your vital tasks is to ensure that our warriors who hang it all out on the killing field are equipped with the right stuff. I don't see that happening anytime soon unless you get enough straight skinny to counteract lobbyist propaganda and other military-industrial-congressional-complex spin. So to help provide more fair and balanced input, I plan to occasionally pass along some of the most commonly recurring bitches that come my way weekly in e-mails, letters, phone calls, etc., from our warriors....
