While it may be impossible to completely protect children from someone who truly wants to harm them, we do need to "harden" our schools to not make them easy targets in a building where it is hard to escape. As was said, while doors are always locked from the outside, code requires all doors to...

Over the years, between shooting sports, working in construction and going to music concerts, I have struggled with finding good hearing protection. I have gone the gamut of foam plugs, muffs and electronics. I have found that some of the recent elctronic ear buds, that not only protect, but...

....and this is what I expect to happen in the OP's case, if indeed it is determined, there was no real "intent". Schools have come a long way with security in the last 15 years. Most folks who attended school before 2000, probably don't have a clue as to how much time, effort and monies, go...

Coupla months ago our local school got a similar phone call. Came on a Sunday night, so there was a police presence on Monday morning. By coincidence, that call too was traced to Alabama and it was found that several other schools in Wisconsin and Minnesota received the same call and it was not...

^^^This. Around here, anything quicker than that would make me suspicious of the quality. Good mounts take time.

I remember the year where the DNR said it was illegal to use a light while in possession of a firearm. Opening day of deer gun season folks were wandering around in the dark on large tracks of public land. Many waited till after light to go in. Next year the redefined it, saying one could use a...

For the most part, I've always tried my hardest to get into stand without the help of a light, especially when trying to get close to roosting turkeys. Many of the places I hunt have little or no light pollution, so iifin' the skies are clear, many times moon or starlight is enough, to get to me...

...iffin' you will remember, the buffalo, like the passenger pigeon, were eradicated by professional hunters, like the state of Kentucky wants to employ, and not sport hunters. This along with the loss of preferred habitat to an animal that was slow to reproduce and slow to adapt to the change...

While riding motorcycle in MO. one year, while crossing Bull Shoals on the Peel Ferry, I had a chance to talk to an State Game biologist about armadillos in the state. He said the biggest effect on the armadillo population in the state was cold weather and that when there were several warm...

I doubt if Kentucky believes they are going to eradicate hogs in areas where they are already established. This is probably a move to keep the population from spreading and expanding. Since hogs can still be shot on private land when doing damage, it seems this is more directed at the sport...

When I first started hunting deer, everyone in my family had a firearm you had to "lower the hammer" to put on "safe". Lever action Winchesters, break open single shots and model "97" shotguns. While we never a had an accident with therm, it was pretty common to hear a single shot coming from my...

The simplicity of revolvers and their ease of use for folks new to guns has been a boon to their popularity. I have taught many folks how to shoot, or introduced them to shooting at my personal range. While the majority like shooting my 1911s, once they are loaded and handed to them, most(men...

I believe there are many reasons why incidents and fatalities have declined.....but also believe mandatory safety training is the biggest factor. About the same time most states implemented safety training, they also instituted the use of Blaze Orange for deer hunting. The visibility of other...

Been reloading for many decades......and I didn't really know which you were referring to. Have seen many times folks posting about BE-86 and leaving off the "86". About the same amount as I see folks using "BE" in their posts about Bullseye. This is why new reloaders get confused...

...are we talking Bullesye or Be-86? While Bullseye is an old classic powder, BE is very recent. New reloaders can be easily confused by powder names, because so many are similar. This is why I suggest new reloaders ALWAYS confirm any info they get from internet posters, with a published...

Make sure you check your local games laws. Around here, you cannot shoot game birds or small game such as rabbits/squirrels with centerfire calibers.

In a scenario where I am not confident with my primary hunting weapon for SD(as in bow hunting or small game hunting with rimfire), I carry my Colt Government in a shoulder holster.

In Wisconsin, the majority of Black Bear attacks are initiated because folks have inadvertently attracted them with some form of food source. So issues arise more often close to human habitation or while sitting over bear bait. Dealing with Black bears

For Wisconsin...either would work for me. Even a .357 or .45 ACP. Biggest threat is from 2 legged predators, with Black Bears being a far distant second. Lived here all my life and have spent a great portion of it in the woods and in bear country. Never had an issue with Blackies.

They get spooked pretty easily....and many have more than one hidey spot. The fact it hunkered down for a while before it ran off tells me it probably was trying to figure out the threat before it ran and exposed itself again. Most of the "chucks" down at the cabin only give me one shot before...
