I beg to differ ! I consider breaking and entering or a home invasion  a  domestic  act of terrorism. And my interpretation of fearing for my life may differ for yours . 

 

Burglary = terrorism.  Roger that.

 

Are you confident that you could articulate to, and convince a jury of your peers, that you "legitimately feared for your life" from someone holding an iPad? Understand that it doesn't merely end with "your interpretation" -- the legal standard is "what would a reasonable person do in a similar situation."  Do reasonable people equate terrorism, with burglary?

 

IMO, you'll be getting your American Rifleman magazine delivered to the Northern State Prison for the next 30 years.

Arthur kill welcome to my blocked list

Fishnut, why block? Granted, Arthur Kill can be extremely annoying with his repetitive nonsense, but entertaining as well if you don't take him serious.

 

You need to give his comments the same weight and attention you'd give Bloomberg or Shannon Watts.

 

Although many here don't feel the NRA does the job for NJ they wish it would, I don't believe I've ever heard anyone who was so critical of the NRA that wasn't an anti.

 

He can protest all he wants, but I think most of us see what we're dealing with here. Take it for what it is and roll your eyes or laugh at the ridiculousness of many of his comments.

 

A troll is gonna be a troll

I have found that for me personally that blocking certain members here makes for a more enjoyable forum. I'm not a huge fan of the NRA either but I don't go bitching about it in every post and I don't assume that all members here are die hard NRA members. There are certain members here where I do take your approach such as shawn Moore, I like to keep up on all things mountain lion. But in ArthurKills case it's to the blocked list for me, dont worry he won't be lonely there are others there to keep him company. I like to think of it as a Richard cranium list.

What did I say that was so offense/outlandish as to deserve a block?

I told him to stop and he kept approaching me, I felt my life was in danger as he is much larger than me so I fired to stop the threat.

Concealed carrier arrested in deadly shooting

 

DENVER – A man with a license to carry a concealed gun in Colorado claimed he "feared for his life" when he allegedly shot and killed a 53-year-old man.

 

Despite this, 26-year-old Stefan Bloom was arrested over the weekend for the shooting death of David Edwards in the 3400 block of North Race Street in Denver...murder charge.

Can we please stay on topic. Create a new thread for the chatting maybe.

 

Oh sorry, I thought this thread concerned "defensive firearm use" as the title implies -- 

 

maybe it should be changed to "only the aspects of defensive firearm use that I like."

 

This is a discussion forum, right?  Why would anyone be uptight about defending their ardent ideology...unless it has no defense?

Did you even read the article? 

 

Shooting took place outside the home in a neighborhood that has shot detection microphones installed. They do not install those in desirable neighborhoods. This most likely was a drug deal gone bad.

 

This has nothing to do with the situation in my original post which is an intruder in the home. Any intruder that enters a locked home is a threat to the occupants of that home. The women who entered her home even though she thought there might be an intruder used questionable judgement.

Arthur it is not directed at you but everyone. The thread is links of defensive firearm use. Other discussion should be in a new thread to keep this one as intended.

I'm surprised that nj.com is actually carrying this story...

Probably only because a NJ man was one of the attackers and NJ.com wants the poor thing to get some sympathy from the public because a real man did the right thing defending himself and someone else.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By leahcim · Posted

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
