Let's think about this for a second: what's the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun? A good guy with a gun. Right? I totally agree with this statement. But, there are more things than a "gun free zone" that make a soft target. I'd feel more comfortable if there were a vigilant RO standing over the shooters shoulder. You're right this isn't simple and warrants thought.

I'm a VERY pro 2nd amendment guy and feel all eligible persons should have access to firearms. That being said... No NICS required is crazy. Suicide is a personal thing though shouldn't be done in public. But what would stop a Jihadist from coming in and wiping the place out then leaving to rain terror?

Paul - Do you use a pull through reamer to set head space on a carbine like is done on a Garand? Good find BTW

G19 IMHO is the best defense pistol you can buy. Ultimately reliable, trigger worst than some better than some, simple to operate. 9mm ammo is available, inexpensive, controllable, and stops most humans (if it doesn't, let fly with another)

Thank you for your eloquence.

Welcome to the world of deductive reasoning. You can't guess problems away. Inspection and deduction is how you fix things.

Thank you for some sanity!!!

Is that a work in progress? Keep working on it...LOL

This ammo is a good deal! OP - Any of the ammo you have listed should be fine. I don't understand "your pistol runs dirty" ? Edit! - I see your pistol is gas delayed blow back. Now I see your concern. Sorry, there are better designs out there.

Cute Knucklehead! Bears in general!!! I have game trails right through my yard that LONG predated my house being built. But don't loose sight of the fact that they have no natural predators, and they weren't hunted for how many years? When I was a kid and Noah was loading the Ark (around 1972) there were a total of IIRC either 80 or 300 bears in the state.

The drought story is more credible than development. Most of the recent development has been farm land and less food means less bears.

I live in Oak Ridge, "Bear Country" Just remember they were here first. I'm sure there's a nice town house for sale in Teaneck if you get tired of them. But seriously ....Just cope and be careful.

We have enough members here that I think you can shoot various rifles to see what you like. PM me and you can shoot my 24" Bull barrel.

Mark - Leaving food on the deck?

When you call them talk about total disassembly yourself. You can save a few bucks.

Ship it to East Coast Bluing, Monroe,NY They've done some quality work for me. Didn't grind it up. All the lettering was perfect.

If anybody needs a thrower I can lend one of mine. I can't be there but you can pick it up in 07438 OS

John - Give me a buzz about the engraving. Just had my wife's "Derby Cover" done with a pic. The jeweler is in Jefferson near me. FS

Jer - How much are they selling it for? (not listed in link)

May I make a suggestion? Learn to reload. What you are experiencing is the cost of shooting a "boutique" caliber.

Doc - Depends on your size and how you dress. If you're thin and wear a hip length Dentist's smock in the waist band works fine. I'm 5'11" and 165# and can carry a PM9 Kahr in my front pocket with out notice.

Doc - I have a few dentist friends and because of controlled substances I tell them it is prudent to be armed. Buy another smaller pistol. Carry it. Dentist clothes hide a small auto very nicely.

I have a lock box very similar or identical to this with a Simplex lock. It has served me very well.
