Firearms should always be the last resort, there are plenty of things she needs to do to increase her safety and security, most of which have already been listed in this thread. I am very leery of anyone who is "blind" in any degree having a firearm and trying to use it in a stressful situ...

I wonder if pythons will eat iguanas?

Down in Panama, it behooved one to walk in the street at 0200hrs after the NCO club closed. All kinds of snakes ruled terra firma after dark. The up side was zero stray cats, and no rats or mice problems. Most people that I recall were unable to walk after the NCO club closed at 0200. Never happene...

Sixgun, we shoot almost everything on a weekly basis. Our Friday morning shoots (Thursday this week only) are club shoots, not NRA. We shoot .22 lever gun, pistol caliber levergun and plinker silhouette shoulder to shoulder on the halfscale targets. Plinker silhouette is simply we let anyone shoot a...

Over 30 geezers and geezerettes gathered at 0800 yesterday morning for our weekly Lever action silhouette shoot on the 1/2 scale targets. Temp at that time was 39 degrees, overcast and about 10-15 knots of wind from 2 or 3 oclock. So nasty and miserable that about a dozen of them turned around and w...

The "original" TC Contender frames were somewhat difficult to open and TC soon modified them by changing the location of the pivot pin. Wonder which model this will be?

Sorry, I live under a rock and apparantly didn't get the memo. I'll try harder to keep up.

I am not a member of the Tinfoil Hat Society, but things happen that make me think about joining. :shock: A couple of weeks ago I posted, on this board and two others , a thread about my interest in items in a 1908 Sears catalog.

I recently scored a 1908 copy of the Sears Roebuck catalog from 1908, this is the 1970 reprint. Lots of fun reading , an insight into how people lived back then. If you lived in a small town or rural area that's how you got most of your supplies. Anyway, I got to looking at the guns and ammo. Marlin...

By all means, stay in Cody and make whatever side trips you want. Try to figure at LEAST two days for the museums, firearms museum alone takes a full day and then some.

I am almost certain that those would be reloads. Probably shouldn't mess with them any more, unless you want to pull the bullets and start over from scratch.

You have missed the entire point of life. You should die without traceable heirs, without tangible assets and being $400,000.00 in debt to your credit cards.

We watch crime documentaries quite a bit and have to laugh some times. For instance, it's night time and the cops are studying a crime scene complete with fired cases on the ground. One glance and they can tell the case is a "9". Never mind that a .380 looks almost identical until you exam...

Every so often we see a firearm advertised for sale with description including the phrase "honest wear".

What the devil is "dishonest wear"?

Just curious.

Sure do, Rusty. Marble's tang sight with Merit adjustable aperture. Very rare to see anyone shooting lever action silhouette with open sights, if they do, they dont win any matches.

I bet you have been out to gun club range and have scheduled a work party already? Went out this morning, 9 of us shot some silhouettes.
