    Comments on Newcomer Welcome

    Well, how does this look... the Newcomer Welcome post I just threw together? It's wordy and rambling, but I'm trying to get a lot of information under one heading or post to placed at the top of the first page. It's too long, but maybe it will help keep self-induced malfunctions down!

    Nicely done!!

    If you're anything like me, you'll self-edit it 20 times before leaving it alone.
    Thanks for starting this.
    I am sure the next generation of newbies will appreciate it.

    That notch in the rail is supposed to be there

    "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
    --Thomas Jefferson (1764).

        Thanks, and yeah, I edit everything several times before posting... then every time I see it I notice something else. I'm not a typist and I'm having major problems with this 32-bit XP ME/Professional Windows computer. I can't even use my Outlook any more... crashes the PC... and now I get halted processing of keyboard or mouse inputs... 10 to 20 seconds frozen cursor or busy indicator... sometimes terminal and restarts take FOREVER! I always leave my PC on and maybe turn off the monitor. Booting or rebooting just takes forever and I couldn't get time enough to get around to doing this post.

        We've seen too many self-induced problems and I'm hoping to point everyone toward the posts and links that can help them, especially the Kahr take down videos. I'm no expert myself, but the collective here is pretty helpful.

          Well done! Thanks for taking the time to put that together. I'm not new to guns but am relatively new to Kahrs. You assembled a very helpful resource.

              I'm not fond of the word "mandatory", it sounds so aaaa governmentish.

              How about strongly encouraged, that work?

              We're just Santa's helpers or Kahr helpers here trying to encourage a harmonious outcome.

                      With my computer problems, I've been dragging my feet, but every time I help someone, I have to look up the links and post them. It's more work on my Ubuntu/Linux machine... and it and the browser and the email program all take turns crashing... but apologize... unlike Windows!

                      When JohnH looks over this and we finalize on the content, it can be made a sticky and put at the top of the page. I think that it ought to be a "closed" post, though, so it won't get unwieldy and you'll have to page through stuff.

                        How about something like a logic tree?

                        P380 No lockback:

                        Try this this and this..... Did this help?
                        Yes click here
                        No click here

                        Either one takes you to another page but follows in a logical sequence.

                        Would be a lot of work but worth it in the long run.

                          Might be a good thing for the folks at Kahr. A bit out of our realm I'm thinking. Would be a lot of work for sure.
