    What the local news won't tell you about this shooting...

    There was a shooting last night. Just saying it's in Walworth Co., WI doesn't mean much to me, but the victim ended up in the front yard of a good friend of mine. The lady they interviewed who "tried to help" said, "He said to the people who owned the property, 'I just got shot.'" The people...

    Heard a rumor about Fletcher's today

    imported post Anybody able to shed some light on it? No news, and Fletcher's hasn't posted anything on their website or facebook, but MKEgal from icarry said something happened today. Protias, I know you're there a lot. I hope it's only a rumor and doesn't hold water...

    Woodman's now to follow state laws

    imported post According to SAK (from his posting at icarry.org), he talked to Clint about it, and they have decided to allow carrying as long as it is in a legal manner. He said it was because of all of the calls complaining about hardballer being kicked out that he changed his mind. While I...

    Driving through Iowa for the holidays

    imported post I'm going to NE for the holidays, which means driving through Iowa to get there. If I do bring my gun(s), they'll probably stay in the safe in my hotel room anyways. What do I need to know, mostly for vehicles for non-residents, for things beyond guns? So, even though this is...

    Visiting NE for the holidays

    imported post I know that I can't obtain a permit to carry concealed in NE. If I do bring my gun(s), they'll probably stay in the safe in my hotel room anyways. So, even though this is OCDO, I was wondering if somebody could point me in the right direction for where to obtain information on...

    Fighting the good fight?

    imported post I haven't been on OCDO for very long, so I admit I may be out of place posting this, and I know there will be those who will burn me for it, but I couldn't help but observe... In recent events (not just Frank's), and in reading a lot of posts, I have began to wonder to what...

    imported post Anybody know where there are some dynamic ranges in WI (especially the SE section)? I would like to practicing drawing, footwork, etc., but am not sure if I am ready for IDPA type stuff yet.

    What's your best "is that a real gun" comment?

    imported post We've all got them... The stories of somebody asking, "Is that a real gun?" or "Is that thing loaded?" I haven't had too many people approach me about carrying, but my favorite was while I was working security and a kid (couldn't be more than 9 years old) tried to tell me my G22...

    Bullet setback

    imported post On other forums, I've seen this question about rechambering the same round multiple times and the bullet actually gets forced into the casing. IIRC, .40S&W was the only round that I've seen a photo of, but don't know the validity of it (I've recieved factory rounds with this in...

    imported post I was browsing around and found this site. I'm sure it got posted before, but I didn't see it. Interesting info. I wonder how getting a CCW or less-regulated OC would drop a bunch of the numbers... http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/wicrime.htm Scroll down about half way to...

    Waukesha OC letter from PD

    imported post I recently moved to Waukesha and wrote a letter to the chief asking his policy specifically regarding a "man with a gun" call. He has already stated that each situation is handled individually, and that if an officer sees somebody carrying openly, they will be questioned, but...
