Last month the U.S. Supreme Court took on a firecracker of a case: It agreed to consider whether a handgun ban in Washington, D.C., is a violation of the Second Amendment, the Holy Grail of gun lovers everywhere. The court will hear arguments next spring and may issue an opinion in the summer, smack dab in the heat of the 2008 presidential contest. It's probably naive to think that Republican-Roberts-dominated Supremes will rule in favor of gun control. But then I still believe in Santa Claus.

Note that this turd shows no interest in whether the Court will rule correctly on the merits of the case -- only an emotional "it's for the children" appeal.

Bend over and shoot between the legs or do a forward shoulder roll turn an shoot was also a option taught......was taught as well. Speed rocks and contact drills was painful even in training at times. I figure the one I disliked the most was where we were taught how to shoot after being pushed back on our butts. On our backs, knees up, crossed legs shooting.......didn’t like that at all.......

Bottom line was some of the theories over time were forced upon the classes based on fact someone was dumb enough to get shot at a whole lot thus we relied on his or her expertise as a “professional”.

Everyone has a story, everyone has a better way, yet all need to address their skills , their own threat level, their daily tasks and environment “they” must work in or travel through. Open rural areas without good cover like mine mandate a rifle with powerful optics be available and a handgun to allow me time to get too that rifle.

When I am in urban areas I like to pack a shotgun and a Hi-Capacity .22 handgun. I have an ugly old .22 pistol called a Grendel p-30 that is a very good little riot gun. a half dozen spare magazines in a briefcase and that kneecapper stops the mob mentality, zombie bikers etc .......

Cheap dirty looking little pistol yet it never burps or falters when I have run it thru the mill.......

If you ever find one at a gun show I recommend grabbing it !

After going over your "about" page, and reading through some of your past postings, I think you are perfect candidate for the "Farm Adoption Program" here! It might be awhile before I can get you your "basic issue" web gear, weapon, and ammo...but there are other "perks". Just ask Squantos! He got adopted! :-)

...and we ARE Sheepdogs too! :-)

He had us do the forward roll, and shoot drills too! I did NOT like them at all! Shooting after falling backwards was not a favorite either! I always felt like there was a possibility of shooting myself in the feet, although I kept them OUT of the way.

The ONE thing I took away from what he taught us was that there is no substitute for familiarity and practice! Also, very seldom do things go the way we "think" they will. Also, we learned just how difficult it is to cover ground and get OUT of an area while putting rounds on a target "accurately". Any and all of my misconceived notions (thanks to Hollyweired) about gun fighting were discarded!

I think the strangest thing of all about realistic CQB training is that Col. Coopers "rules" take on a whole NEW meaning!

That's a nifty little weapon...the Grendel. Are they still in production?

[Squantos]

Don’t think so.......if ya see one snag it !

I did see a custom Browning High Power P35 once that was converted a 50 round magazine .22 that had an integral suppressor that was still INSIDE the slide assembly.

If ya held a regular 9 or 40 BHP up next to this you wouldn’t be able to pick which was which.......

Pilots were packing em vs issue. I signed one out and kept it for years until they sent a dozen armed weenies after me demanding it back.......thought the old temporary receipt from the armory had been lost !........dang !

I’d love to see a gunsmith rebuild that little toy from a ruger 22-45 or a BHP. I know of a lot of pilots and others who buy 40S&W BHP’s then have them reworked back to 9mm so they can shoot +P ammo in em ....a lot !

I was always of the school of though that a simple subsonic 9 or 45 handgun with a can on it was key for a E&E or SERE environment. Or even carry a spare radio or 3 vs any handgun at all as some VN era zoomies did....... aside first bad guy I drop will have MBR & Ammo to augment my efforts.....

[hiredhand]

Integral suppressor INSIDE the slide?! NO kidding!? Wow...that would be MOST useful! If I see a Grendel, I’ll snag it!

[ExSoldier]

Actually, I come fully equipped and with a Basic Load for each weapon and then some.

[hiredhand]

You'll fit right in. :-)
