    Big dogs freak me out

    Big dogs, small dogs. If they make you uncomfortable, then you need CS. NO KNIFE. I've had them all - big, small, in-tweeners. They can all be sweet and cute and harmless, they can all be dangerous as a darn pit piper. But - using a knife puts you at a disadvantage - face low, hand...

    Which strategy for BEARS!?

    The "Old" CW (from Boy Scouts) is that bears also love soap/shampoo/etc. and toiletries should also be kept away from camp in bear-proof containers. Is this accurate as more recently studied and observed? Any current data? :confused:

    Glock club

    As a newbie, I visited a lot of other forums dedicated to specific manufacturers. After our purchases (G17 and G26) and two Beretta Bobcat 21A's I continued to frequent all of those forums. THR represents a distinctly more adult, serious, and informative (and yet fun) forum than many of the...
