The Connecticut Shooting thread has turned into a gun control thing. I'm usually up for a good thread derailment, but over the backdrop of those dead people is a little too skeevy for my taste.
I'm respectfully asking the group to not post Gun Control stuff, and the venom that comes with it, on the Conn. Shooting thread and to post it here.
I get that what happened in Conn. has been the catalyst for the new "debate", but I just think that we're talking two different stories at this point.
Sort of coincidentally I
almost took a concealed carry class last weekend. It was my first weekend off since before the holidays and I decided instead to sleep in late, sit around in my underwear, watch TV and scratch my balls instead, but it got me thinking. There were 3 or 4 women taking the class who I wouldn't trust to carry a pen knife without accidentally inflicting major life threatening wounds on themselves and any innocent bystander within a 5 mile radius if they were ever "attacked" (let alone carry a loaded gun).
This may not be the discussion you were looking for, but....
Anybody familiar with the .357 SIG caliber round in a decent pistol? I have heard some really good things about it, but don't have much experience with it. My experience with handguns is pretty minimal (that is a
very relative statement) since I've always believed the best home defense weapon is a shotgun and have never carried a handgun while hunting (although I realize a lot of people do). Anyway, I've noticed the pistol crowd really seems to break down into 2 groups: Pro Glock and Anti Glock. I'm leaning towards a revolver if I do get a concealed carry rather than a pistol, but anybody have any particular experience or recommendations?
