    Mom finally is beginning to see the need for a firearm...

    ...ammunition right now?" she paused, and thought, and said "I guess you're right..." I responded "see why it's important to stockpile durable goods *before* something happens?, not just guns and ammo, but any goods vital for survival?" "I guess you're right, good point." I've also told her...

    Gun store cannot be closed

    Ironically, Coyote Creek outfitters in Rochester NH has had its gates shut for the past week, and the Maine governor has determined Kittery Trading Post as “non-essential”....

    Mom finally is beginning to see the need for a firearm...

    And her options for buying a firearm just temporarily got a lot smaller, as the Maine governor has determined that Kittery Trading Post is a “nonessential” retail establishment and must obey the temporary shutdown in Maine, biggest factor apparently was a larger percentage of New York and...

    Mom finally is beginning to see the need for a firearm...

    The main issue here, is that she doesn’t seem to have a sense of urgency about getting properly armed and into a defensive mindset, she truly believes in the honesty of people, and I hope against all hope she is proven right, but we all know how quickly things can go bad when the veneer of...

    Mom finally is beginning to see the need for a firearm...

    ...and does well with it, no it doesn’t have the capacity of the 10/22, But she’s familiar with the manual of arms for it, and she’s accurate with it, *AND* it’s a far better option than a BB gun and crowbar... I did convince her to buy a handgun once the COVID situation clears up, she’s shown...

    Which movie would you require all anti gun folks to watch

    They’d find the “upper” world far too appealing, even if they could figure out the Three Seashells... Idiocracy shows where we’re headed far too effectively as well, plus they’d all end up wanting a Starbucks anyway...

    Mom finally is beginning to see the need for a firearm...

    I’d love for her to try the CZ again, but she just has no interest in it, she says it’s a nice gun, but it’s too heavy for her and she has difficulty working the slide, even with your solution, believe me, I’ve tried my devious plan is to hook her in with a 10/22, simple, friendly and...

    Mom finally is beginning to see the need for a firearm...

    ...the 20, but the 28 only has trap rounds available the 20 is noticeably heavier as well, if you’re not familiar with the TDC 20G, it actually has a *heavy* barrel, it’s a 12 gauge blank with a 20 gauge bore, the barrel walls are *thick*, the nice thing is, that weight reduces felt recoil, but...

    Mom finally is beginning to see the need for a firearm...

    to clarify, both shotguns are single shot break action, hammer fired guns, also, the local gun shop (Kittery Trading Post) is pretty picked over both ammo and gun wise, I called this afternoon, and all they have for ammo for the 20/28 is birdshot (#7-#9) plus there’s the NICS delays and lack of...

    Mom finally is beginning to see the need for a firearm...

    ...balance of ease of use and capacity, it just is deficient in stopping power I fully expect her to never need to use a firearm defensively, but I *want* her to have that ability if needed, especially since the ACLU is whining about “releasing” prisoners in the local prison system (most likely...

    Mom finally is beginning to see the need for a firearm...

    My mother (she’s in her mid 70’s and healthy as a horse) is taking the whole pandemic issue reasonably seriously, she’s sheltering in place and social distancing, but her one deficiency is her lack of a defensive firearm, she jokingly says she’ll be okay with her BB gun and crowbar she lives in...

    Secretive about guns, ammo, etc.?

    I don’t exactly hide the fact that I’m a firearm owner, but I don’t flaunt it either, it is what it is... my immediate neighbors don’t know I’m a firearm owner and they don’t need to know, as it wouldn’t change anything, heck, there are times I’ve given them rides to go grocery shopping...

    Your firearm purchase that had the worst trigger possible

    ...break pistol, used black powder .32 cartridges, the trigger felt like it was wrapped in gravel and used sandpaper as a lubricant, it made a stock Ruger 10/22 trigger feel like the proverbial "glass break" rod... worst one I *purchased*, easily a tie between a factory Ruger 10/22 and a Marlin 60

    Thoughts on letting go...

    ...and I may have to start making hard decisions again, problem is, i'm still pared down to a minimal collection, and anything further would really *hurt*... there are about 5 guns that are family heirlooms that will *NEVER* be sold, there are some that are rare/hard to find now (H&R Topper...

    Mom, *PLEASE* be more situationally aware next time...

    ...to mine, be more aware of what's going on around her, she's also been considering picking up a handgun once she sells the family farm** and moves into her next little home, as the next house will be a little closer to town, she's been interested in the S&W 380EZ, as she has a hard time...

    Mom, *PLEASE* be more situationally aware next time...

    Dover NH isn’t exactly a hotbed of criminal activity, but it does have “bad areas” like every large town, this particular grocery store is in the “good” area, in the downtown/Main Street business district, it’s been there for decades and the people are generally decent. Mom is in far better...

    Mom, *PLEASE* be more situationally aware next time...

    The Samaritan thought the scumbag was a potential purse snatcher, my gut instincts were screaming *mugger*, hence why I got out of the car and made my presence known, and that I was fully aware of him, I never broke visual contact with him, I let him know, through *MY* body language that I knew...

    Mom, *PLEASE* be more situationally aware next time...

    ...and I were out grocery shopping this evening, in a small, southern NH town near the seacoast (Dover), and just experienced a situation that had the *potential* to go bad, but thankfully it didn't, thanks to a nice vigilant couple, and myself... I'm recuperating from a broken ankle from a car...

    It’s time to grow the collection again, but what to get?

    It’s time to grow the collection again, but what to get?

    Right now the 42 is in the lead, as it fills a niche currently unoccupied, the micro carry/EDC Any things in particular to look for on a used 42, I’ve read early models were fussy, and the only difference between this used 42 and a new 42 are the used one has tritium night sights and is $25...
