She shot the right one Correia is right. I'm sure the young woman is grateful the injuries to her boyfriend were not more severe. She did the right thing. Maybe she needs a new boyfriend.:D

What is the law? When I went for my CCW training, the instructor (a 20 year LE veteran) said nobody knows what the law for carrying in a car is.:uhoh: That scares me more than anything. I have asked several LE, including the deputy who processed my CCW application, how the law is...

Let sleeping bears lie... Um, why would you want to do that?:neener: Such a tragic story, and I was shocked to hear the bear attacked because black bears are not aggressive.:( My husband & I went off-roading in a rented Mercury Marquis :rolleyes: in Northern California many years ago. We...

Couldn't have said it better myself. In one sentence you said what I tried to say in paragraphs. Thank you CAnnoneer.

Thanks! I appreciate all the responses...even the Homer Simpson quote.:D Thanks for the headsup on shoot-to-kill vs shoot-to-stop. Upon reflection I guess it's to be prepared to kill someone. I hope I never need to, though. One thing that irks me is how many Clevelanders I know go to one...

You're right, Tallpine. It's more fun to speculate on hypothetical situations than real ones. I guess it's a matter of one person's word versus another. The dead guy's felony warrants aren't proof that he would have killed Larson. All the witnesses to the shooting are acquaintances of the one...

When a group (Mexicans, Irish, women) becomes part of the political system, they tend to contribute to that system without radically changing it. Usually the only thing that changes is the face or surname of the person(s) in power. There is no fundamental shift in the system nor any...

Sturmruger, I have to agree with 'Card on the "don't pull unless you aim to shoot" theory. I had thought I could just brandish it and scare someone. But the way the instructor and my husband have put it is, "Brandishing a gun without shooting, or shooting only to injure, gives the attacker an...

I recently acquired my Ohio CCW. A friend at THR suggested I post my comments here about how it's changed me. It started off as a rant because ABC News had a segment on the growing number of women taking up shooting, and fears from gun control lobbyists about increased violence from women...

Tallpine said: Um...yup.:D Even with all its restrictions (even the police and courts don't know what the rules are) I'm glad I have my little old Ohio CCW.

That's how it was for me. They gave us a written test. I had already answered the questions by the time the instructor came into the room and read the questions and answers aloud.:rolleyes: But I found the studying to be worth it. I would have done the $125 and 12 hours of training even if it...

If the wife isn't looking??? :scrutiny: This wife is always looking. :scrutiny: BTW thanks everyone for the tips.:)

My usual experience has been that dogs usually want to play and don't have aggressive intentions. How to Speak Doggish is my favorite book on the subject of understanding what they say with their tails, barks, and ears. The alpha yell, "NO! STOP!" can be quite effective for even an untrained...

What a fantastic story! Although I've never had any problems with men at the range. Then again, I'm not exactly Annie Oakley out there either. No masculinity threatened when I'm on the range...yet.:D I'm glad the author took a shot at it. :p It was at Women in the Outdoor events sponsored...

Thanks Malone! I agree with many of the Greens' values as outlined in their web site. I couldn't find anything about gun-control or RKBA specifically, pro or con. Perhaps they would leave it to the individual to decide for him/herself...what a novel approach!:D Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Legitimate defense 2263 The legitimate defense of persons and societies is not an exception to the prohibition against the murder of the innocent that constitutes intentional killing. "The act of self-defense can have a double effect: the preservation of one's own life; and the killing of...

Thank you, Art. I meant exactly that.:) So when does the poacher shoot begin?:D

+1 My uncle had a stroke several years ago and walks with a cane. To get to our hunting area, you have to go down a steep hill, cross a creek, and go deep into the woods. He has an ATV just for that purpose. Before the stroke he would have travelled the route on foot. We do have a serious...

The Catholic Church has always maintained a definite Pro-Life stance. That is, against abortion and against the death penalty, which both constitute murder in the eyes of the Church. This is only an example of where the Church stands on issues, not meant to debate the pros or cons of those...

When I carry around my property (don't have the CCW yet) I just slip mine in my Carhart jacket pocket and it fits perfectly. Haven't had much chance to shoot it yet aside from last weekend, but enjoy it nonetheless. Still getting used to it and will probably buy some lighter grain than 147...
