    Upper Pennisula, MI shoots?

    I have moved to the coast of Lake Superior in the U.P. and have yet to find any shoots here. I used to do IDPA but would go to action pistol if available. (I only have handguns, haven't ventured into long guns yet.)

    people at photo lab gave my mom a hard time

    Sandy, I suggest you just keep doing what you are doing... get the photo's printed elsewhere and try not to give this any more thought. I think it is just too bizarre a thing to worry about. (After all, what you discribed is not much different then the various shooting shows on the Outdoor...

    Would you carry without your CCW on a trip?

    In some states any crime that involves a fire arm has a certain minimum jail/prison time. Plus, even if you are only speeding and are found with a gun you should not be carrying in the manner you are (not locked in the trunk for example) you risk loosing your CCW in some states. You should...

    On Gaurd at the ATM

    I use the ATM alot. I mostly pay for everything in cash so sometimes I need to go and get some. Or, I need to deposit to pay for an over the net purchase. I choose an ATM where it is not very busy and has very little foot traffic. I drive into it looking all around. If someone drives in, I...

    Do you use the slide stop lever or slingshot method to return the slide to battery?

    I find it very very hard to use the "slide stop" lever. I am a lefty but my hands are very small too. So, I have no alternative then the "sling shot" method. (interesting term as I do it over hand myself.)

    Experience and review of Comp-Tac's new MTAC....

    I have been looking to get one of these. Do you have to wear a t-shirt under your regular clothes for comfort or can this go against bare skin?

    When have you called the police?

    My experiences in calling the police has always been positive. Response times might have been a bit slow, but that is a situation related to budgets, etc, not to competence. I called the police last week because I showed up to my office (I am in my own business and have no staff) and the...

    Bulk 9mm ammo prices?

    Thank you for posting this. I am going to make a trip to buy some. Even with the cost of gas, I would save substantially (if I buy in enough bulk of course.)

    Does your church have pro-gun Pastor?

    My Priest was supportive of my getting a gun and thinks it is great I am getting interested in maybe someday competing. He does not have a gun himself. But that does not mean he is "anti-gun". Cato the younger... I am also EO! I go to a rural OCA parish (Orthodox Church of America) and...

    Small pistol for fiance

    I wanted to say also that www.corneredcat.com is a great website for her. I am new to guns and went out and tried as many as I could before I bought. I have very small hands so finding a gun was not easy. The "J" frame revolvers looked great but I hated shooting them for example. I bought...

    Fake Police Hold Family Hostage and Rob Home (Michigan)

    They may not have been very cooperative because they had been traumatized and really really thought the attackers were police at the time and now maybe are nervous about the police. This is a good reminder though to ask for id and verify. I have had the police show up at my door once or...

    Priest deals with aussie youths

    Priest do not dress that way, I don't think it was a Priest at all. (It might be a deacon or some kind of lay leader.) In this situation, it would be better, imo, to call the police instead of confronting them directly. There was no real danger to a person that I could see in this situation...

    Would you let 2A be a factor in a major life decision?

    I think that this is an important factor to consider. I look at it this way, there is a place I could probably get a really good paying job in my field, but there is no Church of the kind I go within a three hour drive. (I think the closest is more like a five or six hour drive.) Since going...

    CCW = Bad Idea ...

    I think this is a very good point. I had to work through my own issues about carrying and it took me a few years to do so. My biggest concern was that I knew if I carried, I might be in a situation where I could end someone's life. I know I am capable of making that choice, and for a long...

    Scenero for a woman in a store alone with staff.

    Adrenaline Rush, was i being paranoid?

    I can see why your dog would be barking like he/she was. I myself would have gone outside myself to see what was what even though prudence would tell me to call the police. (Chances are after I went to see what was happening I would have yelled at myself for not calling the police instead!)...
