I realize a lot of folks don't think a 380 is enough gun to do the job. Practice with the gun till your as good as you can get, use the right ammo and put the first 2 rounds where they need to be and I would trust a 380 as much as any caliber I could possibly want to carry.......JMHO

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer so sometimes I have to ask questions. I keep hearing and reading all these anti-gun people screaming for back ground checks. Every time I have purchased a gun from any retail outlet, licensed Gun store etc they run a back ground check on me before they will allow me to purchase a firearm. JUst what BACK GROUND CHECKS are these anti-gun people wanting since I go through one everytime I purchase a gun. Someone please explain this to me. Thanks You for your help. Bersaguy

Do you really feel these banks would be willing to give up the dollar figures they make each day off of sales of firearms, ammo, firearm parts or anything shooting related that take place on any given day?

Ok, I won't worry about it. I was not gonna loose much sleep over it anyway. This country was founded and built with guns and I have a feeling guns will keep it up and operational regardless of how the anti gun folks feel about it............jmho

Sorry, does this mean I need to worrry about renewing my HCP in August?

As sign of what?

It's great that they caught them but I wonder how many of the guns they recovered besides the one they caught the 19 years old with?

Does that mean I need to worry about renewing my CCP in August since I am 70 years old?

Back in my younger days if they had a hunting season on something, I hunted it. Began with Squirrel and Dove and then it was Quail, rabbit, duck, deer, and when all the seasons ended it was back to squirrels cause it was the last season to close each year. Now 50 years later I spend about 150.00 on wild critter food and have about 8 tree rat feeders up and I have counted as many as 15 on the feeders or on the ground under them eating left overs and they look like Tree Hogs they are so fat. They are so fat Darby can out run them and she has to turn around when she runs past one of them but by then they have found another tree to get up. It's funny to watch them scatter when she clears the storm door and she has no idea which one to chase. I don't hunt anything any more but I sure did enjoy doing it for about 45+ years..................

Yea!!! That is why my house looks like a posti-note factory. I have notes up reminding me to read notes...................

Yep, not been out on the street all day and sorted brass till my eyes was about crossed and finally Darby decided I needed to quit and go out side and play fetch stick for about 15 or 20 minutes till she lost the stick while chasing a squirrel. I went and found it and brought it back in the house and put it on the table with the other 5 or 6 I have cause she keeps losing them when she sees a critter to chase if she has the stick in her mouth. She drops it where ever and takes off chasing.....................

I got to meet Grunt67 a few days ago and had a short but nice visit. Enjoyed our talk. He stopped by to pick up some brass I had sorted out for him. I have taken on the challenge of sorting out a 5 gallon pail and a 2.5 gallon pail of Brass BT collected while he was alive and worked at a gun range. I was going to take it to a junk yard and sell it for the brass weight but the thought of just scrapping good brass just didn't seem like the right thing to do. Besides that it is giving me something to do during my down time during recovery. I am finding 40 cal, 9mm, 45cal, 380 cal, 38 spl, and even some 10mm so am seperating those calibers out. If anyone would be interested in buying any it's going to be for sale soon at a cheap price. Let me know if anyone is intersted in any of it....................

"I'll take my business else where". What took you so long to decide to do that???

Well the reason I asked the question I did was what could possibly be gained by eiher side by telling a 1st grader he/she had to walk out and tell them why? I have little doubt they would comprehend any part of the reason why and I don't know how it could be explained to them in such a way they could understand the reason to begin with. In all honesty I don't see anything is going to be accomplished on either side for any kids below at least the 5th grade up and that may still be to young.................JMHO

Well I have a DMV location I did mine at last time about 3 miles from my house so might just go there again. I did my DL on line and completed the form on a Thursday and a week later on Friday I had my new DL in my mail box. I have some time to give it some thought, just not gonna wait till last minute regardless of how I choose to do it................

OK, since I did not pay a whole lot of attention to the children walking out but I do have one question? Did the children walk out of the schools at all grade levels from 1st grade thru 12th grade or was there a certain grade level to which walked out?

I don't see were it makes much difference how far he had to go, he went toward the gun fire and did the job he is suppose to be there to do. I give him an A+ for a job well done!!

It is great to hear they have a Resource Officer that runs towards gun fire and not way from it. Great job well done...........

Mine renews in August so will probably wait till July to apply for renewal. With my luck I will do it in July and it will take them 2 or 3 months to get around to renewing mine. I might do like you Jeb and renew soon as I get my renewal papers. Thre months won't be much loss verses going without for 3 months while waiting on new one........JMHO

And a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun, imagine that!! Sounds like they have a great Resource Officer at the school.......JMHO

I for one can answer that question. We have had folks move down from the north that were not really ready to leave the North so when they came South they brought a lot of the northern ways and ideas with them and they thought folks down here should do things their way and tried to push their ways and beliefs on folks down here and it was like oil & water. I think many of them moved back north or just faded away never to be heard from again. Folks down here like things the way they are so I think what he was saying is how most of us feel and that is leave your yankee ways up there when you come south and learn how much fun life can really be...........JMHO

I have a lot of great memories growing up in Lemont but that is back when it was a state that believed in what the Constitution represented and we were taught actual U.S. History and if you were big enough to tote a gun you went hunting and life was good. I think my parents saw what was coming in Illinois and we got the hell out and never looked back. I have a brother that still lives in Essex Illinois and I have not seen him since 1990. He won't come down and visit and I damn sure ain't going back up there without a gun.

What part of HELLINOIS are you moving away from. I grew up in Lemont HELLINOIS and parents moved me away in 1967 at age 17 but this was home cause most of my family lived here like since forever before we moved down in 67. Oh yea welcome to GODS country and TGO!!

That is exactly why all of my grandchildren are home schooled. They don't need to learn all that trash they teach kids in school these days. My Daughter In Law got her degree to teach so she holds class for all the school age grand children and is actually paid by 4 other families to have her teach their children. She has been doing this about 10 years now and goes back every 2 years to renew her teaching degree. None of my grand children plan on going to college anyway but will do like their parents did and go to a Trade School and earn a trade working with their hands and brains. On the other side of the family on daughter side my oldest grandson got his teaching degree and he is doing the teaching on that side with grand children and he also is teaching 7 children from 5 other homes and being paid for teaching them. He just went and renewed his teaching degree last month. If it is as all possible Home Schooling is best these days..............IMHO

I don't know about that. If she is willing to be with a guy that acts like that she will probably be the type that will go bail him out. A lot of times women that have boyfriends like that they will do stupid things like get him out. I knew a girl who's boyfriend use to beat her up and they would arrest him and she would have him bailed out before the ink dried on the paper work. That one didn't end well but it did end. She ended up shooting and killing him during one of the beatings. They didn't arrest her but she has not been right in the head ever since.
