What a sad thing. It was definitely an accident brought on by the negligence of the adults, but I still feel sorry for them.. They lost the two year old and now the state is prosecuting them on top of that. A lot of us have done stupid things in our lives, but fortunately without consequences...

Good shooting Cliff! Last time I went, I just used a Ruger SR22 out in the country and walked around just shooting at random targets (pieces of paper, leaves, used 12 ga. cartridges etc.) at unknown ranges. I was impressed by the accuracy of that little gun and had the most fun shooting I...

I don’t hate lawyers — I have a couple in my family. :). I’m glad you are on the mend, benstt. Sometimes during the process it can seem like getter better is never going to come!

Welcome to the forum, Jen. We can be pretty badly scarred emotionally by events in our life. It is good to hear you have healed enough to once again go shooting. Great shooting by the way!

Based on the article, it looks to me like the man had his eye on the woman for a while and was planning to rape her, maybe kill her afterwards then leave her in the laundry room and walk away. Good for her 1) that she had the means to defend herself and 2) that she lived in a state where her...

Interesting, Talyn, but I think I will stick to a 12 gage. Thanks for the link!

I figure with a 5” barrel you will be more accurate and have a higher energy projectile so you shouldn’t need as many rounds as long as you can resist the urge to spray and pray. My EDC is a compact so I can better conceal it but I know I am giving up accuracy and energy. If you can conceal...

Thanks for the link, Mike. Good article. One thing I have to keep reminding myself is that our elected representatives seem to be always busy writing and passing new laws. With that, and the fact my memory isn’t what it used to be, I have to periodically re-read the statutes to remind myself...

Charles Brown - Dayton Ohio Paul Babaz - Atlanta Ga.

The ballot was in the February issue of the magazine. You may have to call membership and request a ballot. The “reform” candidates are basically those on the sheets right before and after the bios of the candidates, like the page Shanneba posted.. Don’t vote for more than 28 or your ballot...

Or, you could sign her up here on the forum. That would keep her busy! :)

May God bless the friends and families of these young people who gave their lives protecting others.

“Forest (woods) Bathing” is reputed to be a good thing, Sid. :)

Welcome Gfan1984! I am on the other end of the spectrum—an old fart. When I was young and foolish, bullet proof and ten feet tall, I didn’t think much about needing a gun for self defense. Then one day at Walmart, while loading our purchases in our van after getting my wife on board, it...

Good luck, Thrun, and welcome to the forum. I usually don’t fit in with the crowd very well, and with guns and carrying, that pretty much continues. I know you are attracted to the Hellcat, and based on what I have read, it is a great gun. However, for me personally, I have no use for any...

My practice and recommendation is to buy from well established manufacturers with a reputation for quality. Price matters, but for a self defense gun a history of proven reliability is more important than price. I think you can trust Springfield Armory, even though some may call them medium...

Not a GM product, but my Toyota Tundra has a check engine light on that the dealer’s Master Techs can’t figure out. They have had my truck for over two weeks so far, not counting previous trips. The newer vehicles are just too complicated with way too many failure modes!

Thanks for the link, Talyn. I saw this drill a while back and tried it, only I don’t have a shot timer so I couldn’t calculate my score. Probably at least an 8!! :)

Yeah, keep talking Bella!

I have always carried a Fanny pack for my supplies like gloves, cleaning knife, etc. I suggest you include a small section of appropriate rope for dragging deer. Include a flashlight—you will need it. Also include a good compass and map of the area, fire starting materials, a space blanket...
