Grew up in a Union Mail Carrier's Democrat home (Grandpa was a Union miner) in Missouri and voted Dem from 83 to 88 but was always pro gun and loved to shoot. So much changed on the Dem Party agenda but the U.S. Constitution and guns in particular are the reason I haven't voted for a State or...

Wow! What a mess; and potentially a life threatening mess. I'll bet your story has played out for a lot of people even if not to that degree.

Lots of good posts. Very true that it's the store owners right. What chaps my hide is when this kind of mindset creeps into areas like our public school system where an innocent child is treated like a murderer or terrorist if these idiots in power find nail clippers, a drawing of a ray gun...

But wasn't that bakery going to sell the cake(s) and just reject the request to cater at the reception?

Non-safety Rx lenses will break much easier than Rx type and they can fragment/fracture into tiny pieces. Safety glasses are appropriate for flying objects including gun powder, copper/metal fouling bits, etc.; but even then they can only hold up to so much power, speed, size before they break...

Thanks. I'm okay with the upper 700's. We shot the 230 gr Gold Dots this morning and the reliability is great so far.

We just bought 1000 rounds of Gold Dot 230 HPs for a 3.3" XDS but haven't checked for reliability yet even though in our minds that is the only issue. But I wouldn't have an issue with the other 2 choices in the poll above, if reliable as well, even though 230 grain would be my first choice.

Thanks, Kev. I do appreciate the advise. Also, there's another Kev on this thread and I'm the third one! Thanks again.

The non-stop ringing and even my moderate hearing loss that is obviously progressing are no picnic to live with and know will likely worsen.........but the 10 to 15 year battles I've been having with vertigo has often left me near helpless and quite debilitated. So far doctors have treated my...

I agree with Mil-Dot.

We bought our son the XDS 3.3 45 and he loves it. I do too. The M&P shield 45 is very interesting so before I decide on the XDS I'll give it a hard look. Any idea of the price point for the shield?

I have the ringing in my ears but the continued progressive hearing loss is definitely worse than the ringing.

There is nothing wrong with a CCW permittee carrying a BUG and I've done it many times even though the extra weight and bulk often is the reason when I don't do it. Every firearm has the potential to malfunction/break and a BUG offers extra piece of mind to those willing to carry the extra...

It's really an every day and all day thing but when I do yard work I also always have either a .380 s/a or a .357 snub on me........always!

In MO there can be small to medium sized packs of coyotes, small numbers of aggressive bobcat, and cougar. Word is still out that black bear is south of I-70. I always have something large enough for cougar.

I totally agree. Having a lawfully owned and CCW permit backed handgun in an active shooter situation is priceless but if it is brought out there is absolutely a chance someone within the shooting area, a LEO or a responding Good Samaritan could mistake the firearm/user for one of the criminals...

Sometimes a knife is all that I have lawfully available to me and under the right circumstances I would definitely attempt a charge at a active murderous shooter, especially if 10 yds or less from them. If even 5 knife wielding likely victims all charged a shooter they may all die, some may...

Mass shootings are certainly awful but even though the attention they get is deserved no one should ever forget, discount, ignore or try to dissuade from the fact that lawful firearms owners protect themselves successfully every day all across America and the total number of deaths, serious...

Not that everyone would agree but is there a short list of the top 5 or 10 tier 1 companies?
