When I took the class I had shot many rounds before deciding to take the class and brought a .22 LR. We had a young lady to show up with a borrowed 44 magnum and she had never fired a gun before. With the first cylinder emptied she never even hit the board that housed the target. Before the day was over (after a bit of personal instruction from the teacher) she was proficient enough to pass but the beginning was a bit scary for the rest of us.

I have worked with too many people over the years with cancer in my job as a laboratory tech. I'm sure cancer has affected everyone on this board in one way or another. If you haven't had it someone close to you or friends have. Prayers to you fourty five and all affected by this vicious disease.

I like the Shield too but don't own one, just purchased a Sig p365 for pocket carry. Shot it for the first time yesterday. 100 rounds with no hiccups. I like it a lot after the first trial. I'll be shooting more fmj and then hollow points before I will actually carry it though.

I picked up a used Bersa Thunder about 3 years ago. Got the gun and 3 boxes of FMJ for $225. The previous owner only shot 1 50 round box before I got it. I must say it's been flawless so far.

I own an FNP45, FNX9 and an FNS9c. All are more accurate than I am. I was surprised how well I shot the compact. It goes with me everywhere in an IWB holster. I did however just get a Sig p365 for pocket carry for times that I don't carry IWB for some reason. Haven't shot it yet but like the size. Love my FN pistols. Coveting the FNS 509 tactical at the moment.

Another thing to consider is if you worked for the state or any local government entities. POMCO is a supplemental policy for Tennessee government employees and sometimes the institution you worked for will reimburse about $50 per month towards your premium. I worked for a county hospital for 30 years and was eligible for this because I am in the TCRS retirement program but local government didn't reimburse. State is a different matter though such as teachers. I went with UHC instead mainly because my wife is retired from Bridgestone and they reimburse through UHC plans.

When I got an invitation from Farm Bureau in Murfreesboro for a Medicare seminar I went to see if I could get the info I needed to figure out what I needed. Excellent seminar with no pressure to buy from them. They even fed us beforehand. They have these workshops all over the place so check into one in Memphis. It was a great help for me to decide on what supplemental policy to get. I went with United Healthcare because there isn't a price increase each year due to age. I also got my drug plan through them with WellCare.

I remember this incident from last year. The motorcyclist got a lawsuit settlement of $65,000 and the cop was suspended for 5 days. Didn't id himself as police at first but had his gun drawn. Things could have turned out much worse.

Would You Prefer Your Hockey Puck in .357 or .45 ?

What's sad about this video is that is was done to be serious. If I saw it on Facebook or somewhere I would think it's satire. -
I had a guy tell me once I could get a Fender made in Mexico by Mexicans or an American Fender made in U.S.A. by Mexicans. Anyway, I think you made the right choice.

I actually knew a couple of people that liked the new Coke better and were upset when they stopped making it. I thought it tasted like a flat Pepsi that's been open for too long. Whatever happened to the old "battery acid" Cokes that we enjoyed in the 60's in the 8 ounce bottles?

What is your chosen Self Defense ammo
Tuffus replied to Ronald_55's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I carry Gold Dots most of the time but will occasionally load up with Hornady Critical Defense. -
I bought a model 64 just like the one in the add around 1980 I'm guessing. Should never have let it go. Excellent firearm.

I worked in hospitals for 41 years and saw plenty of things very similar to this. Both male and female. I have often wondered why they refer to this as using "recreational drugs". Doesn't appear to be my kind of recreation.

I think maybe THIS place is meant to be TGO. I could be wrong.

I have had 3 -6 birds still feeding today. Made up a new batch of food just now. Probably will be the last I have to make but want to be sure and have plenty for the birds that haven't yet left and the passers through.

My guess he's talking about this place. But just a guess.

Sorry for your loss. Alzheimer's/ Dementia is a cruel way to go. She is in peace now.

I've had a praying mantis perched on one of my feeders for a week or two. Didn't see any harm until someone sent me this video. I had no idea......

My house got shot up last night, by an idiot with an airgun
Tuffus replied to A.J. Holst's topic in Training Discussions
Several years ago I was talking to the neighbor across the street when we heard shots from the other neighbor's house about 100 yards away and ricochets pinging off of his brick house right where we were standing. The neighborhood kid was practicing with his new .22 rifle and had no awareness of what was behind his targets down the hill from his yard. Needless to say, he and his parents got an earful. -
The Guess Who, Alice Cooper, Jimmy Buffett and Coral Reefer band, Santana, George Thorogood, Steppenwolf, CSN&Y, Roy Orbison, Van Morrison and most of the other bands I have seen listed here.
-
1. CCR 2. Lynyrd Skynyrd 3. Beatles 4. Bob Seger/Silver Bullet Band 5. Little Feat. The list could get much longer with many of the above mentioned bands and more but you only asked for 5.

One of these is definitely in my near future. I really like all my FN handguns.

I have 2 regulars at my feeders. Last year at this time I had 6 regulars for the rest of the year.
