I swear that it looks like a bear is in the lower left corner.

Yeah, but odds are he's a Cincinnati Bengal. :)

BTW, I thought all handguns were powerful...

I've got an ancient breaktop Smith that might bounce off Wonder Bread. :)

How bigga brass balls do you have to have to rob someone you know is carrying a gun?

Or just plain crazy....

I guess they figured that responsible sporting owners always unload and secure their weapons just like the warm fuzzy manuals tell us to do.

Plink at the range with a .22LR pistol, carry a .45ACP concealed, let them have the .22LR, if things get dicey pull the .45, it really is that easy.

I hope so, 'cause I believe in the right to keep and arm bears...

The state of MD does not allow for this.

The handgun or rifle used at the range must be carried to and from the range in a particular manner.

The firearms must be unloaded and in a place in the car separate from the ammunition.

I usually carry the handguns or rifles secured in the trunk with the ammo in the passenger compartment, usually in a container of some sort. I make sure that I can assemble all in a very short period of time (JUST IN CASE).

When travelling with firearms, I always am aware if a car is following, and if so, take whatever measures may be appropriate. But I always try to be aware of my surroundings and who may be near and pose a threat. You can usually avoid a threat. If you can't avoid a threat, a car is a great weapon if used "properly".

Of course the obvious way to stop all this is to ban legal citizens from owning guns .... right???

/s/ sarcasm switch on (then off)

Yep, I always have to stop at the state line before entering the People's Republic of Maryland to get legal. What a pain. In West Virginia everyone just assumes your armed :)

One wouldn't want a series of misfortune to occur.

The Chicago Bears have decided to put a little more "oomph" into their defense following their Super Bowl loss?

(It is a bear. Many gun shops have stuffed hunting trophies as decor.)

Stupid thieves. They took the cheap guns, and left the expensive Porsche behind.

It is difficult to carry a concealed Porsche.

LOL, I read of an attempted murder/suicide pact years ago with similar results. An elderly couple in their nineties decided to end it all with a .22 of similar vintage, they wound up with headaches. On one person the round bounced off their skull and the other had the slug lodge in their ear canal. Aside from being dazed, neither suffered serious injury. Police estimated the rounds had been in the gun for over 50 years!

I NEVER expend all of my ammo at the range. NEVER!

Well... I work on a military installation. So they wont LET me carry mine ALL the time. And so I carry mine about 80% of the time. The bad guys get to guess which 20% I don't. :)
