For those who say that an Obama presidency would lead to another Reagan, you are dreaming. The left, with tens of millions of new dependent voters, will have taken over this nation for generations. They will use their power to prevent the next Reagan.
I’ve got the Springfield XD 40 with a laser. It’s my first gun.
Just where do they think they will get their ‘largess’ for the treasury? I don’t plan on contributing to their ‘success’ by working more. Atlas is shrugging!
Thanks, doug. I’m in the market for a new handgun and every bit of info helps. Still can’t decide whether to trade my Beretta .380 or just get a second one.
My daughter works in west Los Angeles. I’m going to ask her to stay home on election day.
I remember the Rodney King riots. People weren’t safe driving through town to get home.
Sheesh.... Listen to yourself man.
With an attitude like that how can we win?!
The glass is not half empty my friend!
2nd Amendment... I’ve heard that Jefferson said it’s beauty is that it won’t be needed until the government tries to take it away.
My 870 is in the shop right now, getting a tune up. I’ll have it back in a couple days.
If the scenario plays out like you suggest, there will be blood in the streets. The only way Obama wins this election is with fraud and the absence of the Wilder Effect. I believe a majority of Americans will REJECT the garbage known as Obama. Americans will not be kept in bondage as long as there is a 2nd Amendment no matter the outcome of the election. American Patriots will do whatever it takes to defend our famiies, and if our leaders decide on tyranny, they will soon discover they are neither bulletproof nor 10ft tall...
Excellent.
one of our GOP precinct captains is an officer in the Sheriff’s office in the county and about 10 of us decided we were going to get guns but get serious first.
I just joined the NRA and the Sheriff Officer said he would set up some training for us.
thank for the info.
Thanks for the education Doug. You may be helping to save a few lives out here.
Finally! A possibly contentious thread that doesn’t have to do with money!
Fit, fit, fit! The best weapon isn’t one that you’ve heard a lot about but one that fits like a glove. If it feels awkward in your grip, it’ll be awkward to shoot.
I use all of those Doug.
12ga shotgun with ... I know are going to say something... +6 birdshot.... but with several shells in the weapon. (I figure if they don’t stop on the first one, then the next three will stop them).
A handgun. 9mm Taurus PT92 15 rounds in the mag and second 15 rnd mag sitting there if I need it. Hollow points.
Rifle is a .30-30. Both loaded, both in the safe. One belongs to me, one to the wife.
She keeps a 9mm - ummm... I forget the maker at the moment, with two 15 rnd mags ready, hollow points.
Those are all available in specific places to prevent a home invasion.
In my case, I have a final backup if an attack really turns to crap. The safe is in my bedroom and I keep a loaded AR15 with several magazines ready to go. I have to be able to open the safe though. If I get to that point, there’s going to be either an all-out firefight, or some would-be intruders.
I personally use a 38 lady colt snub nose with 5 frangible rounds guaranteed deadly. The explode inside the intruder, do not go through walls, no magazine spring to weaken, no hammer to get jammed with the thumb or hang on clothing, and can be easily palmed.
And for the record I can't quibble with any of this advice. Well I could quibble.
OK, I will quibble.
The Marine Maqnum is a great shotgun, but a tad pricey IMO. Look at the Mossberg 500/590 series. They're probably the best value in a pump action these days.
The Springfield SD is an excellent firearm. I've got one chambered in .45 ACP. Haven't really detected any major flaws in design or workmanship yet. Add a laser to the integral rail system and you've got one fine fighting pistol.
Rifles, I'm not even going to get into that subject....LOL
Nicely done, Doug.

What kind of locks are available for shotguns? I know nothing about guns, so keep it simple. Is there a lock that will fit inside the trigger area that can be removed easily with a key? I want that shotgun shown (under my bed), but don’t want a gun safe.
I’m packed, loaded and ready. The liberty tree needs a drink.
Love the 870. Love Glocks, XDs, and of course, the 1911, best handgun ever crafted.
I am also a 20 guage fan. Plenty of human stopping power, but with the added benefit of easy follow up shots, in case there are multiple boogey men.
Of course, the sound of the first 12 gauge blast would probably send the rest a-scurrying. Wouldn’t want to bet on it, though.
