I'm a huge fan of safety glasses and in fact I pretty much wear them all day every day. My father is a retired chemist and a huge safety hound. He had real world experience in the lab with faulty glass lab ware shattering and the safety glasses saving his sight. To add to that he was very...

We've been pretty lucky in regards to thefts at the airport. All aircraft are in enclosed hangars, none tied down outside. Only thing stolen from there in 18 years was an engine stolen off an airframe that was involved in a fatal crash. I absolutely know who did it, told the investigators but...

Wow, excellent eye-opening discussion and becoming more relevant every day. Thank you gentlemen. This is very pertinent to me on a few levels. I live in a somewhat rural area. I also maintain a privately owned small GA airport in the area and it's quite isolated. Even though the property is...

RE: Post #53 BenEzra, that happened a block fro my house and in fact on the day I closed on it. According to sources in the know, there was a LOT more in the background that prompted the invasion. The relevance to the discussion is that it appears most home invasions have a prior history...

I live in a rural area and never thought much about carrying at home until the day I had some "salesmen" show up. They were actually casing the place and when they realized someone was home they got a bit aggresive. On top of that I'm finding more and more venomous snakes in my yard over the...

Noted. From here forward I'll refer to it as the "Stupid Rule".

LOL, sorry, maybe I called it wrong. I was refering to "Don't go Stupid places, don't do Stupid things and don't hang around Stupid people".

My 2 cents. I live in a very low crime area, somewhat rural. All houses where I live are on 2-20 acres, every neighbor knows each other and unless you're a thug from out of town you know every home is armed, well armed. Break ins,.assaults or other violent acts are almost unheard of. I also work...

Congrats on the wife! Almost the exact same history with mine. No doubt that the Buckmark and Ruger are much nicer pistols but I'll throw out what worked with my wife. She was a little concerned with pistols. I decided to not spend much on a .22 in case she didn't enjoy it. I went into the...

Here is the list as presented by the manufacturer: 1. Estate Sport/Competition .410, Cartridge 2-1/2" #7.5 Lead 1/2 Ounce 1200 fps 25 Round Box Manufacturer: FEDERAL Estate Cartridge Mfr Part #:ESS41075 , 2. FEDERAL Estate Cartridge # 8 and 9 Mfr Part #:ESS4108 and Mfr Part #: ESS4109...

OK, Thanks GS, that answers the safety issue. rg1: I will check out that link, thank you! NeuseRvrRat: I know that will probably be my only option. Just thought their might be an easy answer. Thank you too. I've talked to a few guys that are heavy into reloading and they feel that it...

Sorry, I forgot to give that spec. It's chambered for 2.5" shells so that option is out. This is on an AR platform so limiting factor is the magazine size.

I hope this isn't one of those extreme dumb questions but I need a work-around for a problem. Is there any practical way to shorten an unfired shotshell? Specifically, I have a semi-auto shotgun that shoots .410. I bought it knowing that this firearm is particular about OA shell length. The...

I believe this is still on topic so I'll mention it here. The attitudes of spouses to carrying in the home. My wife has never been anti-gun, more like ambivalent. When I started purchasing firearms she went through a period of indecision as to her feelings, finally deciding that it was a...

Keanbore (RE: your post #22) I agree 100% with your statements. I didn't mean to imply that my house isn't vulnerable to break ins. I study home security a good deal, especially on this site. I've done my best to implement every good bit of advice, from dogs, to home security and alarms. I...

I always have my LCP on my person at home. That will be upgraded to the XDs .45 when the price gets reasonable. I have a two story house and all other firearms are locked up upstairs except for my pump shotgun. It's hidden very well but quickly accessible to me or my wife. I live in a very...

Not turning this into a Kirby vacuum cleaner thread but they are a prime example of a poor (actually dangerous) business plan. The days of DTD sales are over. That's what I tried to explain to the local operator. I believe I need to go with the sign ideas posted here. I'd love to not be...

I think the days of door to door sales are over. My wife leases part of her office building to a Kirby dealer. They do the training and send the salesmen out in a large van to canvass neighborhoods. I've had several discussions with the owner of the franchise. He's been in the business for...

Saw this today and think it's awesome!:cool:

Similar situation for me. Wife and I had just moved into our new home. Wee hours of the morning we hear a loud crash and I spring into action. The dog even dove under the bed. Grabbed my pistol and flashlight and commence clearing the house (which I have subsequently learned is kinda dumb and...
