• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Category for Published and Personal Defense Stories

I would like to see a category for stories relating to actual situations where bodily harm was avoided, or not avoided through actions of the armed ( fist, knife, bat , gun, tank ) citizen (& LEO). I would assume that most stories would come from published accounts. Many folks have guns for personal protection, but have no idea the many ways that situations come down. I recognize that these stories can be presently posted, but a separate compendium would be instructional. This would be more of a resource. Are there any URL's where these stories are available?
 
FWIW I like this idea. Sure would make finding rebuttals to "they'll just take it away from you and use it on you"or "guns just make is worse" easier.

Be careful what you ask for..You may get it.
An unloaded pistol is a paperweight.

FUD could post, but so could others. I would hope that local stories which never make the national news would be passed on to the rest of us. Whenever a gun is used, the national press goes silent. Sometimes, local press will report a pro-gun story due to a lack of local news. Of course, most local reporting would be wanting in detail.

That would be the main problem..the lack of detail. This would limit the educational experience.
