I don't need your permission for anything, Skippy. And I'll post what and when I want to. Whether you like it or not.

I know what you're saying. But I am wondering if I have the probabilities backwards. It's not the chances but the stakes. Anyhow, this thread is probably a dead horse.

OK

I can't do any more about "petty theft" than I am now but I agree that statistics indicate I am more likely to be a victim of that, than to be involved in a gunfight. I'm not arguing that. I'm also not talking about mass shootings with handguns. I'm not talking about gang related shootings. I'm...

Well, I am in the city where "going postal" originated and where somebody blew up a building a few years back. Nothing to be proud of, for sure. On the other hand, I've never had a car or house break-in - knock on wood. So, historically speaking, in my experience, I guess I should be more...

I'm not trying to convince anybody of anything. I'm not 100% convinced myself. I'm just spitballin'. Here's some of my thinking. I've been carrying a handgun - not because of an occupational requirement - for almost 40 years. So have a lot of you. I don't think I ever believed it was because I...

I guess I didn't make my points as clearly as I thought I did. I agree that the chances of needing a rifle are miniscule - but they are not zero. I already said that. I'm just not sure they're as close to zero as they used to be. I'm concerned that things have already gotten worse and we don't...

I used to think a rifle for a truck gun was kinda suspect. I don't need to put down predators attacking my livestock and I couldn't see myself charging into a "situation" to save the day. I couldn't envision a "situation" even occurring. I was a believer in "shooting at somebody 50 yards away...

For those of us in the flat parts, thank you for the photos.

I bet that'll give you a respectable whomp.

I shot a suppressed 10/22 with CCI 22 Quiets (Semiauto) at a tree route sticking out of a creek bank. No hearing protection required. :)

This horse seems ........ dead. But I will say that I enjoy the thread about guns and outdoors that started all of this. To say that showing the gun you took outdoors is a "requirement" of the thread may be a little overblown. I would encourage you to keep posting your outdoors pics - maybe with...

How do you like your Colt? I keep going back and forth on whether to get one or not - probably woods bumming gun only. Also what holster? Thanks.

My last three gun purchases were all revolvers - a well-used S&W blue 4" M15, a used Ruger blue 3" GP100 with fixed sights, and a used Ruger Super Wrangler that I didn't think I would ever buy but the price persuaded me to try it. Lately, I have been going straight to the used guns when I enter...

I think there are some grizzlies in New Mexico too but I won't argue about it. :)

Yeah, I know about the oceans. But I think people are beginning to wonder about who has walked - using their boots on the ground so to speak - across the border recently and whether they have brought any problems here. Estimates are 5.5 million in 2022 and 2023 so far. There is no way anybody...

Maybe not here but it did in Finland and Sweden. Probably Poland too.

I have no experience or knowledge to draw on but I don't see how bear spray is useful if you are in your tent when you are attacked. Seems like both gun and spray are appropriate.

I occasionally see those Beretta 22s for sale, usually at a pretty good price but I have never grabbed one. If you have shot it and can compare it to a Browning Buckmark and/or Ruger Mark IV, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I think I need a new Colt King Cobra with a 3 inch barrel for the outdoors. Pretty sure.
