Fun shirt, another one I wear says "I won't be remembered as a woman who kept her mouth shut" and "Well behaved women seldom make history" Family geneology papers includes a receipt for a great-great? grandfather selling Annie Oakley her 1st gun. My cousin just called and found a link on...

What length blade is recommended and what about the design with a finger grip in it? Unsure what to get-serrated,curved-smooth? Have been looking at sites suggested here. Gerber Remix, Karabit,Kershaw,etc. Thanks.

Wow, small world. I got excused 2 months ago re age but read that someone caring for an elderly person get's excused. My youngest son and I have always lived together due to medical issues and when I told them he was helping me, nothing changed. Had to jump thru hoops with his medical issues and...

My gun is for self defense, not jewelry, but the Gun Skins look fun. Hopefully no one ever see's my gun. If I found the money tree might be interesting Just started watching knife training videos, will have to get one with a finger hole to grip it. I'm at someones waist level in w/c. Gerber...

Hard to know what ammo to put grocery money towards. More practice or self defense rounds. If my 2 mags of self defense were ever used I can't imagine the situation-what is everyone thinking to buy?

Thanks for the "heads up". A rock killed Goliath. I agree with being prepared-physical and mindset. It's a new way to live. You are a smart person and a good example.

Thanks for the info, I'm sorry you carry the impact of seeing the stabbing. I am debating if I could effectively use a knife when I'm barely waist high to a standing person-unless they are bending over me. Being 5'2" and 106lbs. I don't have a lot of force. Sad how long it took to clear Mr...

Frank, thanks-you are an inspiration. I will get busy with knife-learning. It seem it's either knife or gun as unable to shoot 1 handed? Talking Texas, I read about a man -Jack? who shot a person who broke into his church, killed 2 before Jack killed him-took over 9 months for him to be cleared...

Good thought, I read something about 21 feet being the "lethal" zone for a knife attack. What is YMMV-newbee here. I live south of Mpls, south across the river and we have Duty to Retreat and no Castle law. Don't think "duty to retreat" applies in home. Maybe no steel toe Dr's, love my orange...

Bassbob, I agree about a fight and was just looking at steel-toe Dr. Marten's in case someone tried to grab me in w/c or tried for my gun. With the weight of them, the plan needs to be shoot before they get that close. HaysGreener-I also agree with comment on practice up close and the 3-3-3-...

I'm so grateful for all the knowledge shared. Thanks. The 1st few times at the range I was amazed at 90% of shoppers/shooters were past retirement age-then realized I'm the same age as "old" people. Retired, on fixed income it's not easy - have others noticed this "older" trend? Miles to go...

Thanks for the input. I never thought of the sense of using as close to defensive ammo as possible. I did accidentely shoot a 15 round mag of Federal HST but didn't realize it so didn't think of comparison. When I 1st got my gun I was told to use HST in primary mag and Punch topped with HST for...

Thanks. I range shoot at about 10-25 yds. Aiming upwards from a wheelchair may also affect things. The last knuckle of my thumb by my shooting hand is always red & swollen after shooting. The range officers say I'm gripping the gun just right., Found a new product called Grip Keeper to...

Can anyone comment on ammo for Hellcat Pro? Just bought Aguila and Sellier Bellot to try. Does 115g vs 124g make a difference? MagTech & Browning 115g weren't smooth and on a fixed income OUCH! Blessings. Thanks.

Thank you. south of Mpls Modern Sportsman is an amazing range, very friendly and supportive-except for no automatic door. They go all out to help & encourage. A real blessing. Gun life was a hard decision but necessary. Holsters are a challenge as I'm small and not much room between waist & bust...

All good info but being elderly female in wheelchair awareness usually means looking straight ahead. Would like to see articles on "differently" abled folks, Just getting in a non automatic door keeps focus off surroundings, being in LEO family greatly increased awareness of attacks on w/c &...
