I wish I could learn where I could find some of that gel they use for these tests so I could run a few of my own tests.............jmho

Now thats funny right there...................... :rofl: :rofl: :rock:

I have always considered a few issues when thinking about needing to use any of my 380's to either stop a situation that may be happening to my self or someone else. I don't know how many people here have ever been in a situation where they are on the wrong end of a muzzle of a hand gun but I have a couple times. Believe me I didn't give any thought to what caliber gun I had aimed at me. A 25 Caliber looks like a 45 caliber and your hoping and praying that the guy does not start popping caps is the only thing on your mind. I have given thought to possibly owning a 9MM or a 40 Caliber and over the past couple years I have owned both and shot both. I also got rid of both. I don't want a gun that might have a problem as mentioned in a post above. I don't want a bullet I fire having a potential of passing through my target and injuring an innocent person. I think the 380 Caliber has to ability to stop any assailant I might encounter without the threat of a through & through. That is my  :2cents: and feeling on the issue........ :up:   

I got burned out on hot chicken bad about 1995 and have not tried any since. A bunch of us got together and went to watch the races and Nashville Speedway cause afew of my friends where still driving back then. After the races the drivers dragged to whole bunch of us to a place on Murfreesboro Road near the old Alladin plant to what was once a Shoneys. They ordered up to huge platters of hot Wings. My eyes were already watering soon after we went in the place. I asked for a large Ice water because I am not much on beer. The platters were put on the table and folks began grabbing them and just sucking them down with cold beer. I picked one up and bit off just enough to realize I had made a grave mistake. I asked for a few slices of Light Bread and more Ice Water. Within about 15 minutes I was able to feel my mouth again and with my tongue I could feel a few small blisters forming in my mouth. Needless to say the platters were mostly empty before we left but not because I helped and I stopped my wife just before her first bite cause she was not a really spicy food liker to begin with. I nursed a mouth full of blisters the following day and that was the end of my hot chicken for ever.......I learn by my mistakes...................... :puke: :puke: :rofl:

A buddy of mine dragged me to the range this morning. He said I need to get back in the saddle again. I took my Mod.85 Bersa which I have never shot, my Llama and my Bersa Thunder. All 380 Calibers. I sent target down 10 yards. My buddy ask me if I didn't want to begin with maybe 5 yards. I told him if I could hit at 10 yards I don't need to be shooting. I did have first few rounds go astray with the mod.85 with first time shooting but got things back in line pretty quick. Now also considering I need new glasses was also a little issue but here is the results of my morning.

Of Course they would use a Pin Head California University to do the tests because they would have been laughed out of any other University in any other state. I wonder if they will end up outlawing tail gate parties at all the college in California. I know they dang sure don't want to mess with them folks up on Rocky Top and their tail gate parties................... :rock: :rock:

I don't own a Glock and don't plan to but I do love my Bersa's and Llama's 380s and they are my main and only carry guns. I have Fiocchi Ball Ammo loaded in all of them with great confidence if I ever needed to use them they would do what I need in the protection areas............jmho

It's a shame that the young man might be paralyzed for life. When I graduated from cap pistols to my first Daisey BB gun my Father also taught me that a BB gun is a real gun and it can hurt and kill for real and my lessons on how to handle a real gun began and to this day are burned into my mind and if I still owned a BB gun it would be treated with the same respect as a Barrett 50 Cal and everything in between. I taught my sons the same way I was taught but they learned by first shooting my guns before getting guns of their own. Shotguns were their own first firearms. My son taught his two sons in the same manner I taught him............ :2cents: 

Your best opportunity to sue is on election day.  That is when the elected officials are most vulnerable and we don't need lawyers.........jmho

Like I said in my first post here. If we can sit here and post and read things that make us upset, it only takes a few minutes to write a short but sweet email to your local guy or gal representing you and making your feelings know and make sure come next election you will remember how they voted on things that you wrote them about. I wish I was smart enough to put a petition together here and begin gathering signatures and when we have enough to turn some heads in the Wagon Circle send it to them and see if we can't open a hole in the circle of wagons. If we never try we will never know.............jmho

You not cheap my friend. I would just consider your very very CONSERVATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!! :rofl: :rofl:

Go for it Buddy!!!!! :up: :up:    Old yea!!!!!!Happy Birthday Buddy!!!

I can remember my High School Senior  graduation like it was yesterday. When the Class began looking for that special slogan to attribute to what we had accomplished everyone racked their brains trying to come up with that special one. Folks were throwing out all kinds of things and I just sat and listened. I mean my graduating class had 29 seniors in it. Small town, small school and I was an outsider since I joined that class in the last year of my education in mid term.  Finally the Home room teacher got everyone calmed down from the roar. She looked at me and said you have not said anything since we began discussion this. She then ask me if I had any thoughts about it. I sat there with 28 other students staring at me and I said, " each day I wake up my faith in that day makes my tomorrow beautiful." Everyone sat there staring at me like I sprouted 2 heads all at once. The Teacher went to the chalk board and wrote,  Our Faith in today makes our Tomorrows Beautiful. She asked anyone else if they had another one  to add as she was going to make a list. For a week there was nothing else added so our slogan was "Our Faith in Today Makes Our Tomorrows Beautiful." That is how I felt back then and most days when I wake up I still feel that same way 50 years later................jmho

Sorry but I can't bring myself to love either one of them. They both SUCK!!!!  At this point we are stuck with them is all...........jmho

Yea, been feeling better for last week or so and hoping I continue to move forward in a positive way. ......................... :up: :up:

I use to have vehicles drive into my drive way late at night and Kasey would bark. Sometimes they would remain a minute or two and sometimes they would leave right away. I had a buddy install motion lights that could light up a little league ball field and when they come on they will temporarily blind a person facing them. That ended any of the cars coming in drive area and spending any time at all. Now soon as those lights pop on they are gone. During the day with living where I do in a triplex with my living area in the rear a car cannot get back to my place without passing by the neighbors and the people living up front so in 99.9% of the time a car or truck coming in my drive has a few pairs of eyes on it. Also unless you know my cottage is back here it cannot be seen from the street.

I'm very sorry I didn't see this sooner. Prayers to you and your family and I know it is hard to say but your dads suffering is now over and he is now with GOD and if I cannot be here with friends I know I would like to be in GODS hands.

That would surely be a waste of time because Obama, just like the ATF and several other government agencies. They do not have a clue how to disarm the American population or even where to start. If they did they would have tried themselves by now...........jmho

i have been looking for a fairly good quality Shoulder holster set up and been unable to really find what I am looking for. I have seen 100's of them in google searches but pictures just don't tell me a lot. I am wanting a vertical drop for my Bersa's and I am wanting a setup that has the straps across the back like the Tuxedo style or like the police wear. I am afraid buying from a picture is like buying a pig in a poke. Does anyone here have any type of experience in shoulder holsters and can possible steer me in a direction I might be able to locate what I am looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

See that is what I mean and Mike hits it out of the park with his answer. The politicians don't really know what the 2nd Amendment really stands for and they think it's all about hunting and such. Maybe they would take the time to actually read and comprehend it they might be able to reply to letters from folks like us with some type of intelligence................jmho

  If they make it that easy I would give them the 5 months gladly.......... :up: :up:

I agree as long and all the meat is submerged in the salt water............jmho

I think it might be about time that these people know many of us that just put in office let them hear from a lot of us and let them know just how fast we can take their job away come next election. I honestly don't think these people think we are watching and paying attention to what they are doing. If Necessary maybe a few petitions sent to the letting them know we are watching if letters don't work............jmho

I wonder if they couldn't make this a little more screwed than they did. My DL expires  01/25/2018 and my HCP expires on 6/23/2018. I guess I just will wait and hope they send me renewals for both.............jmho
