    I have been waiting to reply to this thread since this morning. I'm not going to quote anyone but....


    Not sure why some people think that if you have a crime spree in an area one should just jump up and move? Why? I'm not causing the crime. I have a low interest mortgage (under 2.6). I personally live in a very nice area...one of the nicest in Colorado Springs. If I were a career criminal, I would only go to nice neighborhoods...they have nice shit. Something else to consider when criminals choose nice areas:

    -Most likely working to have said nice shit.
    -Most likely would just call police and file an insurance claim vs a criminal/civil lawsuit.
    -Might be a whenever home. I know several multi million dollar homes that are only used a few times per year in my area.
    -Did I say they have nice shit to steal?


    I'm not sure how many people have had a home invasion or an attempted one, but shit moves pretty fast if you are not ready. Mine was slow (bump keying the locks) and it still was fast. Had they just busted a window or kicked in the door, if we are being honest I'm not sure I would have responded quick enough from a dead sleep at 10:30 AM. I would have had to defend from my Master Bedroom and my dog would most likely have been killed. I was tired, worked a night shift the night before, had my AR-15 and G17 out next to my bed. They had a plan for my German Shepherd since they knew he was there and was trying to rip down the door (he is a trained/retired police dog). My dog even cut me with his canines trying to wake me up and pull me out of bed. I was pissed until I realized what was going on. He was going crazy so I grabbed the AR-15 just in case. Glad I had...they already had one of my locks defeated and working on the second. It took a total of 2.5-3 seconds to kinda figure out what was going on. The whole situation took 7 seconds tops. I've had farts longer than that.

    If someone wants to carry a weapon on the property so be it. Seconds count, and getting off the couch and running to wherever your home defense weapon is....good luck. I've taken a lot of training from some of our nations finest. Preparation and surprise is your ally.

    This is literally from inside my home as I type this. Seven windows and a slider and all the window coverings are closed. I don't want anyone to know who or where we are. Let them FAFO.

    What you don't see is if you pan over a little.....

    Maybe I'm weird....

    Disney does not 'officially' employ or staff w/armed security. However, they are known to hire a fair amount of 'off-duty' LEOs from the area, some of which are plain clothes and I'd bet they are carrying concealed.

    However, with that being said, response time (unless something goes down right in front of one of them) is going to be marginal at best. Either way, an active shooter in a facility like that is going to ruin some lives... :(

    Weird? Jury is deliberating, so we'll have to wait on that call

    So, is that a mirror, or painting to the right of the hanging wall calendar. I see a long haired apparition facing the other way, away from the gas ported muzzle end of bizness.

    All kidding aside, I feel everything you said, minus the attempted B&E. When both mom, and MIL's homes were burglarized, no one was home, and no cats were harmed. I could give a shit about any of my possessions (minus my self preservation toys) and was grateful they didn't harm my loved ones, cause I would not do well, aftermath.

    Great recollection. Glad y'all were unharmed, and all that cleanup of cranial dura mater wasnt required.

    So ..

    Is there another thread in the works that asks:

    Do you carry chambered (plus 1) or unchambered?

    Thats a topic discussed quite a bit in the circles

    Sheps, to me at least, are the best companion ever. If I ever lose my wife in the shopping mall, I'm getting me a Shep pup, even if I gotta live in my Tundra

    At least 2, but i prefer 3 in the chamber at all times. You know, just to play it safe.

    They are a handful, so be warned. Mine is very alpha and you can never let him get the upper hand. That is actually how we got him. One of my besties trained him for a PD and was doing fine except being around other dogs. If they didn't give up alpha he was fighting.
    He is great around familiar people, loves his cats and chickens.

    IMO if you're not confident carrying with one in the chamber you may want to reconsider if you should be carrying at all. However, it's your choice and yours alone so far be it from me to judge but I'd rather not spend my last seconds trying to rack my gun in the middle of an incredibly stressful situation.

    Agreed.

    Same reason I don't carry my Shadow 2 without the safety being extended like a 1911.

    I concur.
    I'm also not a fan of manually manipulated thumb safeties, except for a 1911/2011 type single-action handgun.
    At least on a carry or SD pistol, but to each their own..:cool:

    I agree. When I purchased the gun I planned on carrying 95% of the time I'd carry I chose the model without a safety but that was only after carrying for a while and becoming more confident carrying.

    At the gun show Saturday, they had around 250 tables, although only 3/4 of them had firearms on them.
    I didn't see one CZ pistol new or used in the entire place....:confused:

    I've never owned a CZ, but I've handled a few and they felt really good in the hand..:thumbsup:
    Since I had some spending money, I would have bought one if I had found a nice CZ P-01 or CZ 75 B.

    If I had my druthers, I'd probably opt for no thumb safety, but it was a simple bit of training to overcome said druthers while drawing. It's a very singular motion, and complete muscle memory now.

    you asked how a program that teaches basic firearm training would look. I used Canadian firearm possession laws to show an example. Ohhhhh America :oldglory:
