Revolver would be my first choice. If a round fails to fire, the next one will. The Baretta 21a is next for all the reasons already given. I haven't had a dud .22lr round in 40 years. Last summer a friend found some old beat up loose rounds in a tackle box. The brass was so dark they were almost...

I like the idea about the aspirin. I sometimes carry a nasal spray squeeze bottle full of pepper spray that I get from near empty old canisters. Most people wouldn't stick someone elses spray up their nose but just in case, I keep it secure.

Without a knife, fire, and light, a person is less prepared than a thawed out frozen cave man. I don't carry a cell phone and am barely in the digital age but I am firmly established in the iron age. I live in the USA and can carry a gun anywhere I am allowed to or until arbitrarily disarmed...

Same thing happened to me when civilization absorbed the last wild shooting area I knew. I have been going with my brother in law and nephew to get them started right but it is a drag and I don't shoot. They are on their own now so I don't plan to ever go again. I will if someone needs my help...

Railroad Bill performed by Dave Alvin on "Public Domain" 38 special on a 45 frame How can I miss when I have good aim

Double Dipped I was at the top of a 20 ft extension ladder while painting my great aunt;s house when I was stung by a wasp. I went back up with a loaded paint brush to exact revenge. When I got back to the top of the ladder, my goofy aunt appeared with a large can of wasp spray and began to...

Tanglefoot I like the pebbles and dried leaves idea. We can probably think of some other noisy medium combined with tanglefoot that could be effective. Gnomes with Xmas lights strung between them over pebbles perhaps. My wife hates those chrome balls on pedestals but I thought those could...

Our Dog Friends Outside dogs offer little security if they live outside. I train my neighbor's outside dogs not to bark at me because I value peace and quiet. Bad guys will train your outside dogs with food. My dogs live in the house and they are my friends. They alert to the same things I...

Above and Beyond If more people reacted that way fewer would have to. Being a man of action, you assessed the situation more than you even realized before you acted. You could have done more but what you did was above and beyond what anyone should expect. A good witness would have been enough.

Darwin Award Candidates There is no best answer for this. What I would do would depend on who else was there. Sometimes you can't just leave. There may be others there who are not aware of the danger. My only concern would be for innocent bystanders. If the person is suicidal, he could easily...

Workplace Violence It almost happened to me at work. I was set upon from behind while I was sitting at my desk. Never saw it coming. Reflexive response was to turn into attacker and draw blade. Fortunately for everyone the miscreant was so startled by the turn of events that he fell over a fax...

Howdy This forum has already helped me out so it seems fitting to try to give back. I've been shooting for recreation for over 50 years. In that time I've had a lot of fun and made many mistakes but I still have my eyes and limbs so I may be able to pass something on to others.
