They are A factor, but as you suggest they are an extremely rare factor for most of us. It always goes back to the idea of where one wants to compromise on the gun and ammo continuum. I've never...

To go somewhat with Chuck, I have never been comfortable carrying anything heavier than a Smith Airweight of some kind in an ankle rig. I did and do prefer pocket carry for the BUG, but given the...
Tom and MDS are right. Too many posts have been personal attacks instead of related to the issue, and I plead guilty. I try to stay on issue but do tend to respond to attacks in a similar manner. ...
Going back to the concept of competing harms that was discussed earlier, there are all sorts of things that are morally, ethically, and honestly questionable in concept that can be considered OK in...
As usual, Tam, you seem to want to ascribe beliefs to me that not only are wrong, but that you could have no way of knowing outside of your imagination. I could care less, as there are few folks...
You're somewhat correct. There probably isn't much point in debating something with me without using accepted rules of debate and argumentation and without at least a little attempt at developing a...
You make an assumptio without merit, that I don't understand. I understand perfectly, I just reject the premise.
Most folks also use the terms interchangably, and numerous sources use them as...
Sorry, but again you are wrong. Morals are concerned with the judgment of right or wrong of human action and character. That is a social consideration, as different cultures have different...
Putting aside the rather pathetic character attack, nonsense. Some of the categories have already been mentioned and supported by others, such as to save the lives a a number of innocent people. ...
function: any of a group of related actions contributing to a larger action.
rather: to some degree or extent.
well: satisfactorily.
One is certainly entitled to their opinion, but I generally take the positioii that the person who makes a statement is probably in a better position to know what they meant than someone else.

That may be true in some cases, although I have found those that try to justify situational ethics and morality to be far more problematic. The problem is not so much if one just espouses a strict...
And yet it is a position that so many manage to live by and has seemed to function rather well across multiple situations. But the fact that you agree you can add nothign cogent to the discussion is...
Sorry, but I disagree, I don't see that as a logical progression at all. In fact, it appears to be a completely separate issue than the one I posed.
Again, I'd disagree that meets the criteria...
It is a nice skill to have, but to echo Todd is it worth the investment in training resources? I practice it some just so it won't be a totally new thing to me should the need ever arise, but given...
I think that is a very important point, and goes back to some extent to your post about integrity. The pro-gun community tends to promote the idea of being an honest and law-abiding group when...
It has been my experience that when one declines to discuss the actual topic and instead chooses to focus on things like typing errors (I spell quite well, I type quite poorly) it is pretty...
There is a difference between rifle sights and express sights. I have a pedestal bead on my 870 and express sights on my Beretta 1201. I tried rifle sights on an 870 and didn't like them much. The...
My daughter co-ordinates and manages the local CIT training program and likes it a lot. She says she thinks it should be mandatory for every officer. Her hubby is in LE and he found it very helpful.
I believe if you will look at the first quoted block it says "from Captain".
Nope, that is not my argument. My argument, which apparently is correct according to the folks I checked with, is that violating the rule then hiding that fact while pretending to be following the...
I guess one can read whatever they want to in a post. Probably more a reflection on the reader than the poster.
Wrong. One of the great things about working at a university is the ease with...
Simpl;e logic. If everyone accepts things as htey are and makes no effort to change them, then things don't chage. Change almost by definition is fueled by need or impolse to modoify the status...
If done without knowledge that is a different issue. Once one knows of the issue is when it becomes problematical.
I would think the carry condition to be irrelevant in this case, as is true of most cases.
