I carry a revolver because I expect that if I have to use it, it will be effectively point blank range to maybe 3 feet.

For starters, figure out where your safe is going to be positioned. Then buy as big a safe as you can for that space. No one ever said they wished they’d bought a smaller safe. I also agree with layers of security. A safe is merely a temporary deterrent to a thief. Generally, they are...

Sitting here thinking of all the brass I need to order …. Rainy days do this to me.

Reminds me … I need to do some eBay surfing on this rainy day for magazines.

Well, I don’t think we will ever know what happened in this case, except the human didn’t survive the encounter. Maybe the bear was surprised and charged, who knows.

Probably had 3+ inches of rain since last night. Pool is very full.

I’m not naïve. I will never believe we are getting the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, from the administration.

I can’t help but remember the bump-stock ban. I have little - as in zero - confidence this administration is truly 2A “friendly.”

Drinking coffee, listening to the rain and I was reading some of the ridiculous posts in the “dress code” thread. Carry on, fellas.

A lot of that has to do with the funding of the institutions.

Agreed. You just summed up the state of politics in 'Merica today ... the whole dominated by older men who are non-receptive and expecting others to behave according to their personalized standards or beliefs that are presenting unreasonable expectations that @Retired Bum mentioned.

I’m only going to carry a firearm that I want to use if I have to use it. I’ve settled on the Glock19 size. I would submit to you that for most, a firearm is a talisman.

Don’t forget about Pine Tree Castings.

I spent the $10 on Kindle to read it this summer. Always like different perspectives on the "topic."

Thanks for sharing. The universal rule: be aware of what's going on in your immediate surroundings. In other words, be switched on, all the time.

Which is your favorite child? Grandchild? Revolver? Pistol?

It's an honor to call you "Neighbor."

I don’t do well with cold. That’s why I chose South Alabama and the gulf coast. The yankees continue to invade, and it’s irritating.

I was probably 10 years old when my dad put me on an old MEC shot shell loaded and turned me loose. In the 40+ years since then, I have altered my habits (and tastes). I do value my time way more than I used to. I only load for my serious rifles and my revolvers anymore. For me, I'd rather...

It's pretty ridiculous what brass costs these days. I remember in the early 90s, paying $.20/case for 1000 pcs of 220 Russian brass. What a bargain then! Today, adjusting for inflation, that's probably $500. And to think when they went to $3 a case by the late 1990s! But I also believe in...
