With all due respect, I'm not too worried about it. People have been defending themselves and their homes without fancy tactical lights, or even hand-held flashlights, since firearms were invented. As to your clever "watching too many movies" comment, I'm not EXPECTING anything. But the sound of an ARMED homeowner can and has indeed turned away would-be UNarmed criminals. We all don't need to be outfitted and trained like Navy SEALS to effectively defend our family and home.

hmm... DC isn't on the list?

Great post. I have only one slight disagreement: it has ALREADY lead to tyranny... "soft" tyranny, but tyranny nonetheless.

Yes. People are THAT STUPID. That's what we've come to.

Very interesting... is there a real advantage to metal over composite for a guide rod?

Brownshirts, anyone?

A flashlight with an on/off button on the rear is all I would need. No fancy "tactical remote switches" for me thanks. I'm not going to war, I'm facing an intruder in my own house. Plan A: racking the 1st shell sends him running. Plan B: if it doesn't, I won't need the light for more than one shot of 00, most likely. In any event, I would test fire the setup at the range to see how it handled recoil.

That, my friend, is brilliant. Simple, cheap, use flashlight of your choice. Perfect solution. I put that item on my next order.

Sweet 2nd Amendement justice.

Actually, they won't, they'll just write the report. The store owner is the one who will return fire, IF new jersey thought his life important enough to allow him to exercise his 2nd amendment rights.

GREAT SIGNATURE, TK421!!

And their LAST.

WOW. I mean, I know waxman has always been an @ss, but wow... he'll be one of the first ones drug out like Mussolini!

I have been using Sportmen's Guide, Cheaper Than Dirt, SG Ammo, and Lucky Gunner for online ammo. I'd love to see the band, but I see you're down south... I'm way up NW. I need to get back into/start a band, I miss it bad.

You can afford to buy ammo at DIcks?!?

Good question. Some people (including one FFL) I know, think that even if you have a gun you don't shoot EVER, still needs to be oiled once every 6 mos?

That's me and my Fender Telecaster. I'd have to be in dire danger and gun-less to get rid of that guitar for a weapon. Technically, I've been shooting longer than playing (started shooting at 10 I think? Guitar at 16), but I have done ALOT more playing than shooting. My guitar playing really is a part of me, moreso than the guns. I see guns as a very cool tool to have, and yes a requirement, but my guitars... I wouldn't enjoy life w/o my guitars.

I love it when a plan comes together!

Amen to that, brother!

Ouch. I can't imagine. Truly.

+1.

How cool is this place?!?!

Done. Long way to go...

I think I would find it easier to sell a guitar than a gun... something about the age-old adage "never sell a gun"??? While a guitar does much more good for my soul, my guns do much more for my peace of mind.

It's not the guns, it's how much they cost. She just doesn't want me to spend foolishly, which I don't. Usually. I just bought a safe, it's a small one, a stack-on "14 gun" model ( which means 7 long guns + other stuff). So that'll have to be my limit. This "conversation" with my wife was always about GUITARS... I have 7 guitars, so I figure I can have at least 7 guns. With the rifle I'm picking up this weekend, it'll be 5, with plans to purchase at least 2 more. So, 4 long guns and 3 pistols. We'll see what happens from there.
