You go girl!!!

Interesting observations about the COVID angle....can see the "burn out" aspect. But I think it's a a host of larger issues.... My Son just finished his 2nd year of Med School (he wants to be a Vascular Surgeon). Talking to him and hearing some of his insights are...interesting, and...

I used mine for target practice....AS THE TARGET! alot of fun hitting them broadside....even more facing them towards you to see if you can hit them (like cutting a playing card in half).....LOL. Although next time....probably try the Ed Brown trade-in program....LOL.

Eh...Millenials will just look up "how to use a ladder" on YouTube.....LOL...

that was really cool....and now I see why S&B is quality ammo! LOL...one of my favorite .45 and 9mm manufacturers..

I think it means he needs to buy some Colt's! LOL... Don't have any in the stable at this point. HAD a sweet Commander Lightweight that I had Nighthawk Custom bobtail, refinish, Carry Cuts at front of the slide, and "tweak" a bit....foolishly traded it away for a DW CCO....LOVE my CCO, but...

Thanks for your service Jerry! I missed the first go around....but got in on the 2nd one....ended up doing 2 one year tours back-to-back (2001 - 2002, 2003 - 2004)....saw my fair share of the Middle East and some other nasty, hot places.... Love the pic! One of the assignments I was on (OGA)...

I believe @HooDoo Man is correct on the residency. I know up here in the Northeast (CT to be specific), an Out-of-State resident can apply for an Out-of-State CCW permit. However, once you become a resident, you need to apply (yup...they make you go through the whole process, even if you...
