Mitsubishi Montero. We got there one year after a large early snow had melted. Never saw such sticky goo. Had to scrape our boots often because of the huge build up. We had a lot of pheasants in W Michigan when I was hunting in my teens. But I never experienced so many pheasants as we did...

Hunting ringnecks around 1990 near Platte, S. Dakota. Great hunting and the folks who live there, fed us there, and let us hunt their properties were the best folks.

Just seeing the circumstance outlined in the OP my thought would be that I would continue to defend myself by staying away from the fellow. The guy entered unlawfully once, stole the keys in a threatening manner to steal her car, came back into the house and began to threaten her more even when...

I always check reciprocity and rules for the states we travel. My 2 carry firearms are decided by clothing plus the aforementioned. If we are staying for a long period I'll add 1 revolver which is Swmbo's house gun

I have various choices, but for home protection I have my Beretta Mod 96 in .40 using Federal hydra shok. During Covid when there was a bit of minor unrest around town, I kept my Ithaca XL900 20ga upstairs in a closet. My carry pistols, depending on circumstances and clothing choices are a...

I think you will find this forum enlightening as you progress in your knowledge and skills. It's a forum that is polite as well as informational and educational.

I'm a Life member and between my deceased dad and I, we have nearly 100 years of NRA membership. The NRA is like many old large groups...they become cloistered and the leadership becomes rubber stamps. Our votes are mostly meaningless. The only control possible is to withhold money. That...

A safe full of Rugers, Berettas, Brownings and Ithacas...oh, and a couple S&Ws and a Python, along with another safe full of ammo.

Dad's Ranger 20 ga and Remington mod 34 .22 s/l/lr bolt action. He bought both in early 1930s iirc.

I'd have to say my dad. He had a Ranger 20 ga double barrel and a Remington Model 34, .22 LR tube feed bolt action target rifle. They were just in the house...he didn't hunt or shoot anymore. When he came home from WW2, a decorated combat infantryman, he explained that he had hunted the most...

In the interest of not becoming lackadaisical with respect to firearms, one should always never have a firearm pointed in the direction of something you don't wish to shoot. Loaded, unloaded doesn't matter. Carelessness is the child of neglecting safety. We humans have a tendency to...

I still have my dad's old Ranger 20ga double barrel shotgun. Iirc, he got that in the mid 1930's. As a kid I scored many a bird, squirrel, and bunny with it. I got my very first deer with it as well.

My dad was a vet, but never had any insurance with USAA. USAA will not insure family members of veterans unless the vet had a policy with them.

The one element that is never reported with respect to crime is the cultural aspect. That's the elephant in the room. The American cultural standards have been eroded and degraded with respect to many things. One could write a lot about this, but just common knowledge that is readily...

Rather "interesting" that I hadn't seen anything reported on the news around here about this at all.

I've sold or traded various guns that I sort of miss. But I actually wouldn't have any use for them in reality. I've talked to my kids and grandkids and those who want firearms have them. I have a couple carry guns, a couple for around the house, and a couple sentimental handguns, a rifle or...

Hmmmm, I scrolled through the comments to see if anyone had anything to say about an LCP in .380. I spotted one from Swamp Wolf. I have one and am very content with it. I've had several pocket pistols; 2 Berettas Minx in .22 short, one Beretta .32 Tomcat, and a Baby Browning in .25 cal. The...

I'll go along with the conventional wisdom here. Supply and demand along with what one wants and what one is willing to pay. I think demand might be a bit more evident these days due to political machinations and the realization that LE is really not able to protect everyone at all times. The...

If all he wants is a home defense firearm and something to plink at the range, 3 firearms would be ideal. No particular brand, he'll need to try a few to see what he likes. 20 ga pump or semi auto, with some buck shot along with a medium-sized 9mm semi auto pistol and a .22lr revolver with a...
