    Self-Defense Shooting - One Year Later

    imported post Well, I have come up on the anniversary of that horrible evening in New Castle. It has been one year since those two punks surprised me in my own driveway and jammed a gun into my ribs and demanded my money, and I returned the favor of surprise by shooting one of them point-blank...

    Finally taking the plunge!

    imported post OK, OK. I know I've been against some of the "requirements" we need to satisfy just to get a CCDW License, but since the process isn't going to change (and could get worse in the future), and the benefits are greater, I've decided to go ahead and get my CCDW. This isn't to say...

    Reloading, reloading, and more reloading

    imported post Well, it's become evident that we need a thread dedicated to reloading, so here it is! Post it all here! [and before you ask: no, I don't reload, nor do I plan on it. I just don't shoot often enough to justify reloading (yet)...]

    Delaware State Police Tric Tics Site

    PUBLIC libraries: their rules vs. our Constitutional rights

    imported post Short version: I was wondering if a PUBLIC librarycan set their own rules and prohibit weapons just like a private business can?? I understand that any private business can make up their own rules, and if they decide they don't want to allow guns (OC or CC) on their property...
