  1. Looking for the best martial arts for discipline and self defense for my daughter and then son

    I agree with a lot of the posts here as far as wrestling goes. Probably one of the best "bases" you can get before moving in to other martial arts. One of my biggest eye openers after about 4 years of Tae Kwon Do where I'd earned a black belt in my teens, was going to a to a BJJ school where...

  2. Looking for the best martial arts for discipline and self defense for my daughter and then son

    Depends on what your goal is with them. Most of these Tae Kwon Do/Karate schools are just belt factories. They'll give a 7 year old a black belt because you pay your monthly dues and show up to test(which is also paid) and while they will learn discipline the self defense aspect will be a bit...

    BARNESVILLE Private Outdoor Range

    Interested. Not too far down the road from me either.

    Gun owners that make you cringe

    I guess just don't stand behind him. No trigger block and it's pointed right towards ya if you move to the left a little.

    The boomers were right...

    Excellent write up. I was entranced the entire time. I now feel week staring at my Glock 19. It feels so... small and useless. But the problem is, every time I look at the fer sail ads, all I see is 9mm guns. Nobody wants to sail their .45 boomer guns. And don't get me started on my .40. Nobody...

  7. Bayonets... possibly a good idea?

    Same. People don't give knives enough credit. There's a reason why they say the loser of a knife fight is the one who dies at the scene, while the winner just dies later at the hospital.

  8. Targets

    Ironic that you're looking for a reasonable price on targets after I saw a couple of your fer sail ads! :lol:

    A Near-Perfect Self-Defense Shooting

    The real questions is, what does that statement have to do with a thread about a self defense shooting?

  11. Misidentification of the threat

    Another point to bring up for those of us with young kids, is sometimes they enter the room unexpectedly in the middle of the night. I have to be careful with not only myself misidentifying them, but them being able to reach the firearm. I have a large(100 lb) dog in the bedroom with us. He...

  12. Modern Lessons from the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral

    Exactly. But they all think they shoot like Navy Seals in the heat of combat.

  13. Modern Lessons from the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral

    Yes they probably didn't target shoot like we do today. But as everyone knows, target shooting, and an actual gunfight are not the same thing. And those guys were in plenty of gun fights. Especially the Earp brothers and Doc Holiday.

  14. Modern Lessons from the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral

    I guess I wasn't being clear. You made it sound like you'd have no trouble hitting center of mass if you were in that situation. I was just saying that maybe it's not as easy as it sounds when you're in the heat of a gun fight and the guy is a mere 6 or so feet from you. I'm sure the scene was...

  15. Modern Lessons from the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral

    I'd like to think the same thing, but you never know until you've been there. I can't say for sure how calm or nervous I'd be if a guy 6 feet from me was shooting back.

  16. Modern Lessons from the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral

    Interesting read. Sounds like not much has changed since then. I agree with what was mentioned in the article. When your life is in true danger of being taken, it's hard to focus on the site and remain calm when firing. Especially when they're only 6-10ft away.

  17. I had to 'defend' my home.

    Brother deserves an ass whipping for sure after that... 3AM and popping sounds outside my kids windows would put me in full self defense mode too. Especially if I had been in a deep sleep. I can't say how I would have done in that situation either though. Glad you didn't shoot through the window.
