It wouldn’t leave, and was a repeat offender, coming in the cat door and eating the cats food, and I worried it would bite the wife or the 2 and 4 year old at the time.

Everclear 190 makes a great sanitizer!

Some of the local breweries and distilleries are producing hand sanitizer, but it is being distributed only to the municipal government and to the local hospitals and such.

I killed a possum in my garage 25 years ago, and have gone hunting some, but have never had to draw on a human target, thankfully. I train for the possibility, but pray it never comes.

Something I am surprised is not included in the list for either the small or larger bug out (or get home) kit is a small battery powered radio of some sort. It would be a way to get information on what is going on in event of a disaster, when the power may not be available. I got to thinking...

The big issue I see now with these new gun owners is lack of ammo, and unless they have some land out in the county somewhere, no gun range open to go shooting at.

My condolences for your loss. I've lost one uncle to Agent Orange, and a second one has been living with horrible medical problems the past 10 years, and is dying a slow agonizing death at the moment. Both uncles were larger than life to me back in the 1970's, the one who passed 10 years ago...

Well, right now 9mm is expensive, if you can even find it. I got the XDM 5.25 in 9mm, as I wanted something to shoot for fun, and possibly USPSA, without the cost of .40 or 45acp ammo. The 10mm XDM 5.25 had not come out yet at that point, but even if it had been around, 10mm ammo is on up there...

I don't have a lot of cash to blow on guns - I've had too many kids in college and 3 weddings to pay for in the past 18 months or so. While I grew up shooting some, it was always my dad's or my uncle's guns. My first firearm purchase was a Ruger Mark II target pistol (bull barrel), so that I...

My wife and daughter have taken the social distancing to mean we have to paint and decorate my soon-to-be son-in-law's house where my daughter will live in May, and now they want to start painting my house. The paint stores are still open unfortunately... So no time to clean guns, gotta work...

My favorite gun is my XDM 5.25 in 9mm. You won't regret it.

Funny enough, I have that same situation with my two daughters - who are now 27 and 22. My 27 year old only likes shooting a .22LR, and shoots quite well with 22 rifles, pistols and revolvers. At one point, she wanted to buy a Ruger SR22 and both I and her boyfriend (now her husband) talked her...

I like everything Peglegjoe had to say, and agree that the press is doing its best to stir up hysteria. Even with folks working from home and such, was there any real reason for the stock market to lose 35% of its value, killing retirement plans for many of us? Not that I can see, other than...

Personally, I think you need to run a few boxes of ammo through any firearm you purchase, to know it works and is reliable, before carrying it or even just keeping it at home for home defense. All the firearms I've purchased, I break them down, clean and lube per the manual, then run at least...

Here in Huntsville that is an option - we have a takeout/delivery place called "Steak-Out". I can order online, and have it delivered.... steak AND baked potato!

Hey - my dad was in the US Army from 1959 to 1962, and tells me that when on maneuvers in the snow in upstate New York in the winter, they were issued C rations that were leftovers from WWII and Korea. If you were lucky you got to thaw the can out on top of the engine block of a jeep, or so he...

I cook a lot - one of my favorite activities is to fire up the grill or smoker, and since I have a 12 x 21 pavilion (with lights and ceiling fans) out by the pool, I'll roll whichever cooker I am using up under cover, and BBQ rain or shine... That said, I had to vote for pizza and wings. I...

For some reason, when I shot revolvers more, I always kept all my brass, and often gave it to a friend or two that reloaded. These days I do most of my shooting at an indoor range, using a pistol, and probably 90% of the ejected casings end up in the range past the shooting line. Most of the...

Here you go...

Good point about the hearing protection, which is something that has always concerned me since I ONCE fired my Ruger LCP out in a field, and had forgotten to bring ear plugs. I had been shooting a couple of 22’s and a 38, which didn’t bother me much as I grew up shooting those guns outside in...
