Re: A funny thing happened while getting my CCW Permit...

I had to require mine in October after it had lapsed a few years and I turned in 2 certificates of mid level courses and received my card. One was a night class I think. I'm always training and just made 2 copies and sent it.

Re: Which gun did you Conceal carry today?

Canik MC9. Mostly carry a P365, but part of it is at Sig for warranty part. They've been easy to deal with.

Re: What is your favorite hand gun?

I don't have anything nice to look at, but my favorite that I own and have experience with is not my edc, but I really enjoy it is my Canik elite combat. 20rd mags and it just runs. I'm sure I would love a 2011 race gun, but I don't own or have experience with one.

I know they're in there. Seen the sign, but not the bear. Nice cats in there.

Re: Emergency antibiotics supply

I have a Jase kit and it's good insurance. I had a ent virus of some sort and ended up with an infection. I used doxycycline from the kit to clear it up. I don't take meds very often. I use lots of natural meds and preventative maintenance. I like having the antibiotics when on a hunt because I don'...

Re: Cabin Rentals with target shooting?

Might try something like this. Not sure shooting rules, but I hunt nearby and know it's sort of private.

Re: What is your favorite hand gun?

I'm not sure I have a favorite. Each tool does a job. Some are fashion over function and vise versa. I think I'd like to have a commander 2011 or 92g in tokarev with HST's designed for 1500ish fps. Sounds fun to me.

Re: Airsoft basics

I carry a P365 so I use a bb p365 for dry fire and weekly training at home. It's better then nothing. I think they make one in 6.5mm airsoft. They're not the most reliable, but my experience with SIG is new parts sent with no hassle. They're easy.

Re: New to hunting.

Howdy. Game and fish hold classes that will help you learn most things you need for hunting. Check their website. As to your question based on my experience. Anything between a 7mm-08 and 7mag is a good deer/elk rifle. (Flat shooters that hit hard) I would suggest you don't buy bottom of the barrel ...
