The gunman didn’t “snap” – it was a downward spiral that was apparent for at least 6 months but his supervisors didn’t do anything about most likely because of fear of reprisal. It’s also a coincidence that MAJ Hasan graduated from Virginia Tech, site of the most deadly shooting in U.S. history.

I’d prefer a world where everyone’s armed. Then at least potential victims have a fighting chance. I’d either prefer that or a world without violence. Hopefully the pro-gun control citizens of the world will be able to remove all violence as soon as possible.

I love your wit and your web site. Keep up the good work.

Your enthusiasm for public education might be less fervent if you were familiar with its origins and purposes. I recommend you read John Taylor Gatto’s book “Underground History of American Education”. It’s available free online at:

Even with buckshot, the Judge is not adequate for self defense purposes, and each of those buckshot pellets is not comparable to a .380 bullet.

That is because the buckshot in a .410 shotgun shell, after being fired down a pistol length barrel, is not traveling anywhere near the speed it would reach if fired out of a shotgun’s much longer barrel. The Box O’ Truth tested the penetration of buckshot from the Judge, and found it roughly equivalent to penetrating 4.5″ of ballistic gel – not nearly enough for self defense purposes, where 12″ of penetration is recommended by the FBI and other authorities.

This is a handgun! The 3 inch barrel should imply that it is inadequate at anything further than 7 yards (give or take). People buy The Judge for the .410 shell, period. Its a PLUS to have the option of the 45.

Explain to everyone how a .410 000 buckshot shoots 3-4 .30 caliber rounds in a dispersed pattern from one shell. That’s like shooting a person 3 times with a .380, and you still have 4 more shells! The ability to mix your ammo to start with buckshot and move to 45 should you need it is a HUGE advantage in a handgun! Where are all of these attributes listed? How can you give the .45 colt the best rating for defense? That is totally circumstantial!.45 has a noted history over over penetration, which is a horrifying thought if using it in your home or a populated area.

You need to call attention to the fact that buckshot in this gun is DEVASTATING on a man sized target at close quarter ranges (especially in car defense scenarios). IMO, no handgun is ideal for home defense. But if you want a handgun, buy a dedicated handgun. If you want a shotgun, buy a dedicated shotgun. If you want a balanced combination of the 2 for close quarters combat, the Judge with buckshot and/or 45 is an absolutely perfect fit to fill this niche.

Yes, you say it has its special purposes, but you spent the review comparing it to full sized weapons with dedicated use. Auto reviews don’t compare Hummers to Hugo’s. Spend your time on the review of a gun based on its intended purpose, not based on reference to a standard shotgun or revolver.

Does this apply to us as well?

The FFA would in fact put the State law as supreme, but AGAIN the argument right now is who is supreme. Both the State and the Fed are claiming supremecy, and its going to be a long ugly battle. We have to see what comes out of these lawsuits.

I met with a man today that sued the Clinton Administration and WON. I have a copy of his suit and the court opinion, lots of Brady Bill stuff. So I am working on this as well guys. Right now is a lot of research, but soon will come the time when I will need all of your help.

I LOVE ALL my XD’s WAY better than ANY Glock I’ve met so far!!!

In fact I’m looking to buy a couple more XD9sc’s if anybody knows where I can get a couple in GOOD shape at reasonable prices??

Oh, and looking for an M-4, even tho I know nothing about them, either. Ha.

And I do NOT want to go thru FFL for any of them – hence the reason for buying “used” instead of going to a gunshop.

I’m located in south/central MO, so keep in mind the “driving distance” if you have something for sale.

Thanks again.

I recently bought an AR-15. (Used). I know NOTHING about it/them!!

I was “told” (by the seller) that it’s a COLT, but I can not find “COLT” stamped on it ANYWHERE… (I bought it Anyway, because I’m afraid I may not get many more chances to buy one, with NoBama leading the way!)

Anyway, it says CMMG .223 Model MOD4SA on the side.

Is this a “Colt”? (”I” don’t think so, but…)

What else can you tell me about this rifle? (Heck, I’m just now figuring out how to “take it down”. Naturally I have not yet shot it, until I LEARN about the “proper” use of it…) I’m Dying to shoot it, tho!! Ha. I need to find a “manual” for it online or something. Any suggestions where? Web link?

Thanks for any/all info anyone can give me on this.

If the safe has bolts on multiple sides of the door, external hinges can serve as a distraction for the thief as the time spent wrecking the hinges will not make the safe any more vulnerable. The time wasted could serve to discourage the thief, perhaps causing him to give up his endeavors.

While certainly not fool-proof, in high-quality safes with bolts on multiple sides of the door there is no disadvantage to having external hinges.

From Wikipedia:
The hammer-forged barrel has a polygonal profile with a six-segment right-hand twist. Each depressed segment within the interior of the barrel is the equivelant of a groove in a conventional barrel. Thus the interior of the barrel consists of six smooth arcs of steel rather than six sharply defined slots. The stabilization of the round is not by conventional rifling, utilizing lands and grooves, but rather through a polygonal profile consisting of a series of six small arcs connected by flat surfaces. The method by which Glock barrels are rifled is somewhat unusual; instead of using a traditional broaching machine to cut the rifling into the bore, the Glock process involves beating a slowly rotating mandrel through the bore to obtain the hexagonal shape. As a result, the barrel’s thickness in the area of each groove is not compromised as with conventional square-cut barrels. This also has the advantage of providing a better gas seal around the projectile as the bore has a slightly smaller diameter, which translates into more efficient use of the combustion gases trapped behind the bullet, greater consistency in velocities, increased accuracy and ease of maintenance.

So, with all of that said, why?
Easy. DO NOT EVER use lead ammunition in your Glock, regardless of caliber or date of manufacture. Lead is a soft metal and will expand, trapping the rapidly expanding gases in the barrel resulting is a catastrophic malfunction. I spoke with a police officer and fellow instructor who had a barrel rupture the week before we spoke. He was unhurt, but the possiblity of injury is huge!

The reason I say in theory is because the federal government is defying the State’s Tenth Amendment rights by promising to prosecute anyone who follows the FFA passed in their State.

So, we have a stand off. We CANNOT BACK DOWN. NOW IS THE TIME WE PUSH HARDER THAN EVER! Support the Tenth Amendment Center, Support Gun Owners of America, and Support NAGR! Don’t waste your money into the NRA who COMPRIMISES with congress at every turn. Support those of us who are filing lawsuits, every victory brings all of us closer to victory.

We will start a foundation dedicated to this, it will take some time, but we have a great plan and it will be successful.
