Mrs. 308 Norma looking for ground squirrels on our friend's ranch last week. A different rifle (as well as a different pickup truck) but this is the same lady (my wife) after a very successful mule deer hunt (circa 2000). :)

Yeppers, "Too complicated" is also how I feel about bringing a firearm into a medical facility. However, one of the "medical facilities" I've been visiting lately is the VA clinic. That place has a guard at the door that actually asks me if I'm carrying a knife or gun, and I'm not about to...

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Yeah, it kind of baffled me too. Maybe the officer just saw what he thought was a guilty look on my face as we went by him. ;)

Exactly. Idaho has gone permit-less carry now, but back in the '90s, my wife had a concealed carry permit, and I didn't. Yet both of our names have always been on our motor vehicle registrations. Not that it made any difference anyway, because I simply don't believe that motor vehicle...

:rofl::rofl::rofl: I reckon my XP in 7mm IHMSA isn't "ideal" for carry use ether - especially not for concealed carry. 😁

Sorry, that's too bad. I have a buddy that's almost as old as I am (76), and he's quite proud of the Nylon 66 he's had since his youth. I never had a Nylon 66 myself. I still remember the advertisements for them in the magazines though - they showed someone with a Nylon 66 sitting on top of a...

Ouch! Do you wish now that you hadn't done that? :(

Sorry. It's getting that way for us too - not the loss of hunt-able ground, but physical limitations are starting to limit my wife's and my abilities to hunt. Heck, for that matter, my wife has a "Disabled Hunter Permit" (so she can legally shoot from a motor vehicle as long as it's not moving...

The only one I can think of is my Smith 638 (a j-frame "humpback" .38 Special snubby). I thought I wanted a j-frame DAO .38 Special snubby instead. I was wrong. :oops: It doesn't matter - I'm pretty sure that's the only mistake I've ever made, and it was 10 or 12 years ago anyway. ;)

Born into a hunting and shooting family. Don't remember when I got my first BB gun, and then a Benjamin pellet rifle, but Mom and Dad gave me a .22 rifle (which I was only allowed to use under their close supervision) for my 10th birthday - 66+ years ago, BTW.

Could be. I know when my wife and I took Idaho's "Enhanced" Concealed Carry course together (even though Idaho is a so-called "constitutional carry" state), we were each required to fire nearly 100 rounds that afternoon. And when the smoke cleared (pardon the pun), the instructor, a county...

They made them in 44 also. I have a couple of boxes of them. I'm not willing to part with them though. ;)

Hardly! Not unless "both parties" include my wife and other loved ones. The protection of my wife and other loved ones is one of the reasons I carry. And getting into a fist fight at my age would just be silly. BTW, my wife also carries. And she's a lot better with a handgun than I am (and...

It seems the opinions on wood body armor plates are rather splintered. ;)

"Trying" is what matters. At least you'll get a "participation" trophy when you're gone. 😁

:thumbup: I think that's a possibility.

Sorry, double post.:oops:

I'm only talking about how lousy mule deer hunting in Idaho is. Idaho is pretty good for elk and pronghorns - if you can draw a tag in the right area. It's just been lousy for mule deer since the early '90s, I think. We had a couple of really bad winters back then, and that cost Idaho about...
