I have always had good service with Cabelas. Happy to hear you did too.

The FBI UCR is usually a year or two old by the time data is compiled. And when reading them you need to keep it in per capita context. They use 100,000 data. If you just go by total numbers the crime mostly goes up because the population increases. If you keep it per 100,000 crime tends to go down. It is easy to manipulate statistics. I have read and heard recent reports stating since the economy has gone to crap theft and home burglaries are on the rise.

Thanks, i'll check it out.

I am not bashing Ruger, I have a few and love them. I am saying their last couple of guns were rushed to market and recalled. I would wait it out.

What is it?

Fort Dix is $60/ yr and $3/hr/shooter. Still a ride for you though.

A litle big for a CQB weapon, no?

When you say Jack, I think Bauer.

My wife does not allow me to play with explosives in the house anymore :cry:

There is a big difference in hand to hand combat and using a firearm in defense. If I am waging a frontal asault I would not put my back against a wall where I can not tacticaly withdraw( retreat ). A panic room is a last ditch resort. The idea of a panic room is a secure place to hold up until help arrives or the intruder gives up and leaves. Now by narrowing their access points you create an area that they will have to come through which can easily be defended with a 12ga. Remember what an animal does when they are cornered. Picture a woman defending her children.

the pilot doesnt have anyone... but the question is... what is his significance to the whole thing here? He caused the plane to crash while joining a club.

I am just having fun with it.

I am trying out a new bullet in my CZ. A 147gr LRN. Does anyone here use these or have any tips or suggestions for them. I know I can't us them in my Kel Tec carbine. Any powder preferences? Thanks

I understand about having to order, been there. For a while it was cheaper to order from Natchez and pay shipping than it was to buy local or reload for 9mm and .223. My UPS guy hated me.

Given Rugers rush to market and recall philosophy with their last 3 guns, I would wait a year before buying one.

Well I remember when the pilot's sister's brother's mothers best friends daughter was the stewardas who spilled the drink on the guy when the turbulance started.

All excellent points. The only thing I will add is safety is your primary responsability. Learn the 4 rules of firearms safety. I have been in a few gunshops lately where the employees do not follow them and have handed me a pistol off the shelf without ever clearing it. Bad habits by employees are impressed upon the first time buyer.

If there is someone in my house whatever room they are in will be their panic room. If there is a situation outside I have an area where my family will be safe. It is important to have a plan and everyone knows it.

That is funny, but it is sad because I could see it really happening.

That's why I would stock up when I came across a good deal. I just shot my last box of $5.99 9mm and I can shoot for a while on $3.19/box .223. And reload both when I am done.

Congratuations Doc

I am a big Sig fan. Also a CZ 75 is a good choice if you like the one you have in 40.

There is nothing like a day at the range with your wife. You can get away with using her as an excuse to buy a new gun no more than two times every 3 years. She will catch on if you go for the third. Whenever my wife expresses interest in a new gun, I make it the backgound on her computer. Eventually she says lets go get one. If she even says that's cute it is up there. Works very well.

Who knew sites like this existed? It is pretty cool, thanks.

Congratulations
