Suggestions and comments welcome. I've a feeling that this is some serious business. As for me, it's off to the gun store in the morning.

Be Seeing You,

Just carry what ever you want to within reason.

Unfortunately I do not own a firearm "yet". I know, I know... it's almost more than a right, a duty.

Merry Christmas and a brick of .22 LR as a stocking stuffer. :o)

Thanks, but I already have plenty of MREs leftover from Y2K.

And (obligatory) vanities don't belong in "breaking news" anyway.

But have a good time at the gun store.
They're open year 'round, you don't need an excuse to visit!

Use any weapon you can carry with you at all times and have practiced extensively with, loaded with any ammunition that feeds reliably and shoots accurately in that weapon. Remember:

1. A .22 in your hand beats a .45 on your nightstand.

2. A hit with a .22 beats a miss with a .45.

12 guage pump in the gun rack. First round, #6 birdshot. Second round, 00 buck. Third round, rifled slug. Lather, rinse, repeat if necessary. AR-15 loaded with SS-109 in reserve. 9mm loaded with JPF, just in case.

Plenty of .45 wrapped in a 1911A1 model of your choice.

Do not buy Glock for concealed carry.

The Goat of Vengence always comes in handy. Just point it at a jihadi and give the command!

Depends where you live. In most of the northeast, being caught with a piece will bring more trouble down on your head than all the filthy diaper headed nutjobs in the history of earth could ever bring you.

So I guess that means something small.

Actually, I've been carrying my H&K USPc in .45 everyday now, so that's a foregone conclusion for me.

I was wondering that given that the threat board just went to orange, what are the Best Practices for carry, ammunition, and accessories during this period.

For personal protection, I keep the Para-Ordnance P-14 .45 ACP with two pre-ban clips. Ammunition is hollow-point +P. Large bark. Larger bite. As a fallback, I keep a Beretta Brigadier 92F 9mm handy. Both sidearms have laser sighting. If those two can't handle the situation, I'm in over my head.

For "close encounters," I keep a pistol grip Mossberg 500 12 gauge with alternating slug and buckshot loads. The original point-and-click system.

I don't believe in doing anything halfway.

Here in North Dakota, we are loosely packed. We prefer long range weapons, since they double for hunting.

Browning A-Bolt Win .270 for power and range, Browning .223 for ammo compatibility, and Browning Pump Shotgun (BPS) capable of 3.5 inch shells ought to do it out here on the prairie. Missed the pheasant today with the BPS, and no coyotes showed for the .223. Islamofascists can be dispatched with any of the above.

Happy Hunting!

Here in Kalifornia I guess we'll have to carry a target that we can hold off to the side to hopefully pull their aim off.

My husband just got a Beretta Neo for his birthday, but hasn't had a chance to try it out. I guess it's about time.

Anti-aircraft missle. More than one if you can get 'em in your pocket.

Just put a form Wrongful Death complaint in your safe deposit box, and be a Baysian. Baysians just carry on, except perhaps when it comes to small private planes flown by non instrument certified pilots, or hang gliding, or visiting Gaza with an American flag pinned to their back, and then they just say no.
