Have a healthy respect for guns, but for me they are too scary to own.

Boy I’m a really good shot at sporting clays, though.
That is fun!

at age 8 under proper eyes of my dad. I had guns in my kids hands at simialr age in teaching firearm safety, how to shoot, clean pistols and rifles. Took me many years to get my wife on board and 10 years ago we got her several pistols and revolvers for her use and spent hours at shooting range. She is a very good shot, especially with a 9mm.

It’s the accidentally blowing your head off while cleaning it kind of thing that worries me. I realize people who are cautious probably don’t do this, and I would be in that camp for sure.

Healthy respect for deadly things is good.

You cannot clean a loaded gun. The rounds occupy the dirty areas.

I live in the woods and keep a rifle for critter control. I see no need for more than that.

and not until the last 2 or 3 years did they start taking my warnings seriously. One reason why liberals, progressive get caught flatfooted is they always gauge the situation through their eyes and not the eyes of those with bloodlust. Can our system breakdown? Absolutely and we will be tested in the coming weeks and months

is available is way more costly. So if people are looking now, its too late

online, so it's not too late, just much pricier.

been looking for 4 months. Hell I had to order online .410 shells for my Judge as they been off the shelves here for months. End up costing me 2x as much "normal"

I’m so against guns. But, I’m seriously considering it. I’m kind of concerned about the cult.

A high percentage of people who are shot, get shot with their own guns.
Besides, I don't want to play cops and robbers.
I don't want to play cowboys and Indians.
I don't want to play war.
That's not what I want my life to be about, and I refuse to be bullied into becoming the kind of violent person I abhor.

position but we ask that no one push their decision onto those who want to own a gun.

owned acreage where we had a safe spot for target shooting. These days they just are locked up. I don't really see them as much use against a somewhat organized group armed with assault weapons. This is not the movies. Anyway, I do not plan to go out and purchase anything else.
I am more concerned with loose nuts trying to take advantage of civil disorder by home invasion/burglary. In that case I do have adequate arms to protect my home....I hope. It's all a crapshoot at that point.

Everyone dies.
Being willing to die is bravery.

Killing is a choice.
Being willing to kill is a moral malaise.

I will not make that choice and rather a hermit be.
"Cause NO disturbance!" my God demands of me.

If my water keeps running, I can hole up indefinitely.

And if push comes to shove, I can throw the cans at my assailants.

After knives and stabbing weapons are added to the list of "needs a BGC" bicycle wheels may soon follow.

Stay away from pork and beans. Kidney and chickpeas are best.
Navy beans may be construed as military style.

If you don't know how to use one, or are unwilling to use one, then don't own one.

I'm generally prepared for an attack on my home as it stands.

There's a t-shirt that says it all for me.
Something like: I am the weapon, everything else is just a tool.


As best expressed in the movie We Were Soldiers:

Lt. Colonel Hal Moore: I think you oughta get yourself an M-16.
Sergeant Major Basil Plumley: Sir, if the time comes I need one, there'll be plenty lying on the ground.

but I will likely sell a 45 so I guess it is a wash

Which 9mm are you getting?

to carry when in business attire.

I found a good deal on the Sig P365. I think with a tuckable IWB it will simply disappear.

I have an officer size 1911 that I don't really need. My wife's uncle really likes it so I think I will pass it along with the family discount. Also he has been wanting something for his home as he lives very close to Lake St in Minneapolis.

Only caveat: The magazines are extremely hard to load past the 5th or 6th round. Get a magazine loader if you don't have one, your fingers will thank you.

lucky I do have a loader laying around.

The other issue I have found is my hand is large enough that my pinky has no room with the flush magazine. That is easy to adapt to but I have to extend it out to drop the mag. It is a bit of an unusual technique.

Otherwise it is ideal, tucks away invisibly and is ridiculously accurate.
