Thanks for the well wishes guys. Going to Physical Therapy now. It is going well, and I am surprised because of all the pain that the shoulder had before surgery. I guess when they relieved the compression on the nerve most of the pain went with it. Dr told my wife he removed 2 large bone spurs along with dressing the frayed rotator cuff that the spurs caused. All I know is it feels much better. Now trying to build strength in the arms. Not easy to do at 76, but I am slowly plugging away at it. I think P T is for 6 weeks, 2 times per week and every day at home. Going to do it. Thanks again.

My daughter has an underground fence. Works great for her 2 dogs. Once they learn their perimeter the do not challenge it. Lots cheaper than a woven wire install.

I purchased a lifetime license and lost my copy for my billfold. How or where can I go to get a copy to carry? Going on a fishing trip in early May.

Defender rough trip for sure. Hope things get better for you. Dealing with shoulder surgery last Monday myself. Just turned 76. No, it is not for sissies. Edited to add; Just prayed for you brother.

Had my shoulder scoped (3-18-24) on Monday, and really feeling it today. Bone spurs. Removed 2 large ones and cleaned up rotator cuff where the spurs damaged. Very sore this morning. Go for bandage change tomorrow and set P T in motion. Been dealing with much pain for over a year. Was on blood thinner for 4 heart stent insertion last year. Looking forward to improvements.

If you don't mind sharing K, are you armed when you do your running? This is a personal question, and you don't need to answer if it bothers you. Just curious. I have something to share with you if you don't go armed in the country. Your choice completely to share. Will not offend me if you don't.

If the dogs are fenced in and not on the roadway, he is within the law. If the dogs are out running loose he is wrong. If he was out at 11;00 PM he was probably thinking something was after his livestock, if he has any, most likely. You have a right to go down the roadway, then again you must live there. You must try to resolve this issue as best as you can. You and him need to have another face to face and try to resolve this issue. He has no right to restrict your movement up and down the roadway. He very well may be trying to intimidate you into doing what HE wants. You got a big problem K. Just may need to daytime run to solve this issue. When chest get pushed out between 2 people, it needs to be resolved. Pushing the issue "POSSIBLY" could lead to real trouble.

SG Ammo.com has the best prices I have found lately. Purchase the shipping Insurance. If gets lost in shipping, they will give you full refund. Anything over 200.00 free delivery.

A 22LR revolver to start, for sure if it is a lady or young child. It simple and will introduce them to the noise and very slight recoil. Then head up the caliber range. Usually stay with the revolver platform in 38 Spl then go to Pistols starting with 9MM. Thats the way I fly. Have a young family I intend to teach to shoot, for the first time, with 3 young kids, 14, 12, and 8. Wife may take part also. Edited to add; if the want to go to rifle, then I go with an AR 15.

I have pocket carried a 7 shot revolver for a long time. Have purchased a Ruger Max 9 that I carry to church when wearing trousers that print my revolver. If I go with larger round count I go with IWB S W MP 9C 2.0, but For 95% of the time it is the old-style revolver in the strong side pocket.

Don't know you but welcome. Edited to add; From Middle TN.

Been there for me although I never had the attack. I now have 9 stents in my veins and had double bypass. Dr Boyd is my Dr at St Thomas West. Like that Hospital, Dr's, and staff. At 76, with Agent Orange problems, I feel thankful just to be here. Prayers for you grunt67. Do the rehab.

IMO you would be lucky to get the revolver for $200. That would be a bargain. I would say more like $350. to 450. this day in time. Just purchased a new in the box S W 686 + 3" and shelled out 999,00. The revolver is worth whatever you decide to pay for it. If you want it, purchase it and don't look back. IMO worth more than the 2 mark, but it is your "Lollie" at stake here.

I make it a point to stay away from rallies and such. Leave the politics to the crazies. I just go vote and then let it go. I have friends who you can't mention politics, or that will be the subject for the next hour.

Big K, not hard to believe. most investigators and insurance companies will look at your every action for the past few months. This is not the first time I have heard about USCCA denning coverage to their members. I am sure the teacher who did you Concealed Carry permit training told you about self-defense laws. Take a class, Noting wrong with training oneself. I do that every time I go to my firing range. Prosecutor could say I went to my range and practiced before I shot someone but wouldn't necessarily make it so. I try to go to my rang on a regular basis. Educate yourself all I am saying. I don't know about the lady your speaking of because we don't have all the facts, so it is hard to make a judgment in her case. I just hope and pray I never need to use S D for me or mine.

I am a member of ACLDN and have been for years. It is NOT insurance but does have a review board. Massad Ayoob, Marty Hayes, John Farnum, Tom Givens, and a couple more are on the review board. These are some of the names of the most knowledgeable people in the Self Defense Field. These guys will do a review to make sure it is self-defense afterwards. Comes down to trust guys. I trust these men and this organization, Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network. Like crc 4 states, they all do it(some type of review). Now I don't know about Attorneys on Retainer, but I would need to know they, are highly skilled in self-defense law, and can defend a Self Defense (affirmative defense) case. IMO, I want the best attorney I can find in Self Defense cases. They are few and far between (good S D attorneys). I also agree with crc4 you must know your states, or the state where you are in, laws of self-defense in order to be sure your within your rights to legally use force.

Talked to son in law this morning and he has already ordered a green laser and an IWB holster for the Hellcat. Told him I have a pocket holster for the Hellcat so he is bringing it over tonight to see if it will fit my DeSantis Nemesis Pocket Holster I have here at the house. I have my Ruger Max 9 in one we modified. I like pocket carry. If I go IWB I go bigger, MP 9C 2.0.

We hired a couple men to come and cut about 4 miles of horse trails on my daughter's 89-acre farm. First guy had a work ethic problem. That might be an option for you if you just need a tad bit of cutting. The last guy we hired did superb work and was fairly reasonable for the amount of money he had tied up in the cutter and tracked skid steer. The last guy we got was out of Lebanon TN. The trails were really grown up and he had the grinder head that ground the trees and brush into chips. Said the cutter cost him 60,000. new and the Skid Steer was about 40,000 used. Plus, he had to have a dully truck and heavy trailer to be mobile with it. We paid him by the hour, and he produced good work. We cut 4 miles of trails, 10 feet wide, up and down hills, and it ended up costing my daughter about 6,000,00. I walked the trails and used surveyors' tape so he could follow it through the brush. Worked out really well for us. May be an option for you Darrell.

Hang in there boatman. My left knee is not as good as what God gave me, but much better that all the pain with the old one. I will do it again when needed. My right knee is pretty bad but still responding to the shots every now and then. I don't think it will be long before I have to have it replaced. Go next week to get my left shoulder scoped because it is full of bone spurs, arthritis, and neve impingement, with a lot of pain in it. Just getting over Coved, and had to postpone the shoulder surgery. The coved was not as bad as the ear infection that came along with it. Still fighting the ear infection. I am on the second regiment of antibiotic, and it is slowly improving. As you know, gittin old is not for sissies. "Hang tuff boatman.

Thanks for the well wishes guys. We had the party yesterday and SIL mother wondered about the box wrapped in pink that my daughter handed to him. He had a little sheepish grin on his face as he opened it. When he seen the Hellcat he instantly had a big rein on his face. The thing came with medium sized man purse bag, 4 mags and a Mag loader. He really liked the 10, 13, and two 15 round mags selection that came with it. I showed him how each size made a difference when drawing from a pocket. He was well pleased with the size also. He has semi large hands and the gun fit him much better than his Ruger LCP 9. He is a volunteer designated concealed carrier for his church. Later we were outside repairing my daughters truck, and were alone. He asked me if it was true that Cody suggested his mom wrap the package in pink paper. I told him Cody certainty did. "He said That little Sh__" then did a big belly laugh. His whole family was laughing when daughter brought the package to him wrapped in pink. His mother asked my daughter what we were doing. We all had a big laugh at her question, and she had a very puzzled look on her face until we explained what happened. It was all in fun and he went along. What good daddy's do ain't it.....

Thanks for the replies and info. S I L will get it today. His 31 Y O son, who has "Downs Syndrome", wanted his mother to wrap the pistol box in pink paper. She did. His dad picks at Cody all the time. A little payback never hurts. His whole family will be here at 1:00 for lunch. BBQ and Fried Chicken, cheezie Mack n cheese, baked beans, salad ranch dressing, Coconut cream pie and B Day Cake, you know, Man food guys. My birthday today also, 76 today. Just never figured I would be here for this day. I am blessed by God. Bible says man's normal allotted days, baring accident or health, are three score and 10 (70 Years). Or if blessed four score (80 Y O). I AM TRAVELING BLESSED TIME GUYS. Jesus Christ is the way. (John 3:16-17) For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. Life is good for me today. I have accomplished the things necessary to put myself into the position to be able to take advantage of God's saving grace, through faith, in His Son Jesus. Put simply, I am on the way to heaven, today. Can't wait to see Son In Laws face getting a 12" square Pink Box that he has no Idea what is in it. We goanna have a big laugh, together!

The guy at Outpost said he has carried one for a long time and really liked it. The thing came with 4 magazines, 2 15 rounders, and can carry up to 16 rounds with the extended mags. Might be just a small amount larger than the Max 9 I have. I really like the Ruger I have.

I was at Outpost Armory yesterday and did not have time to see if they had one of these lever guns. Walked by the lever gun case and they had several lever guns in stock.

Took my daughter to Outpost Armory looking for a Ruger Max 9 for my son-in-law's birthday. They did not have one, so we ended up purchasing a Springfield Armory Hellcat 9 MM. Do any of you guys have any experience with a Hellcat? It and the Max 9 are similar in size and ease of carry.

Going to Outpost Armory, in Murfreesboro, to get a Max 9 for my Son-in-law, with my daughter. She wants to get one for his birthday. I will see if they have this rifle because I will purchase it if they do. Love lever guns and 22 LR. Have a Henry 38Spl/357 Mag. It is the most favorite rifle I have left. Everyone wants me to get it out when they visit. The 22 would be a good addition.
