If your 38 is small and light, a heavy 38 or even a 357mag loaded with 38spl might be a good choice (about a 4" barrel). Some revolvers are also chambered in 9mm.

We need more officials willing to stand up and be counted. Excellent!

I am particularly interested in HB10. I hope we stand up to the Feds with a bill (law) that has some teeth in it.

What kind of 38 spl do you have that she found difficult... Small, light jframe or larger?

Doesn't my Cary permit already alow me to transport a firearm and ammunition?[/quote] I think it has to do with the parking lot. I don't know the details, but I assume it seeks to allow storage in a posted lot

Very nice! What length barrel do you have on it? Sweet looking gun.

Could be this cap gun http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/tanaka-colt-python-357-model-revolver-cap-gun-6-inch-hw.html. We can only hope :)

With any luck the mfg's will put them at the end of the backorder list, lol. Take a number, DHS!   Truth be told, they probably just want to buy them up so we can't. Probably part of the reason for raising the debt ceiling :shake:

Hmm, my Rep., Scott DesJarlais did not sign it.   :confused:     This is his official stance on the matter from his website...

and we can rid ourselves of these anti-American Liberals in one election cycle if the People wake up!

Hmm, I guess I'll have to "donate" a little more this April to support that program. "Spread The Wealth" is alive and well

Call now if you haven't already........ their offices are still open. :usa: It's time to OVERWHELM them with support for the 2A. I will say that it made me feel good that I had to keep calling because the lines were busy. I hope it's fellow 2A supporters!

If he is successful with the ones that currently make the loans, then that might be the perfect opportunity for some struggling banks to step in and "make bank"

[quote name="Jonnin" post="898424" timestamp="1359398500"]Then it sounds like an ideal location if you can keep the food safe from rats/bugs/racoons/squirrles/etc.     The occasional hot day should not destroy anything.[/quote] I might put some of the food that is least likely to be affected out there until it starts to warm up. Then, I'll monitor the temp with a thermometer. If it looks like it's varying significantly or staying really hot, then I'll move it back inside. I'll keep it close to the floor and near the door going in the house. I haven't seen any evidence of furry critters yet. I sprayed Termador around my house last year and have not seen a single bug since. I think I nuked them all, lol.

[quote name="dats82" post="897922" timestamp="1359337519"][i]"We're not looking to infringe on anybody's right to have guns legally, what we're looking to do is to get the illegal guns off our streets"  [/i]   I will never understand how someone can make that statement, yet fail to see to that such intentions have continually failled to produce results, not limited to guns.  Drugs are a prime example.  Also couple that statement with the proposition to limit the types of weapons that law abiding citizens are allowed to own.  How is that not an infringement on a persons right to own guns legally?    I have a hard time deciding if all this is a push to disarm the populous, or if these people are just that fucking stupid.  I really like to think these people are smart enough to know what they are doing, but then you listen, really listen to what they say.  At which point, I loose all faith in their intelligence and revert back to thinking they are just that fucking stupid. [/quote] They keep mentioning that they need this bill 'to get illegal guns of the street'. I think they believe (or want others to believe) that ARs and high cap magazines are somehow illegal weapons that we have been allowed to have, and now they are going to stop it.

[quote name="Jonnin" post="898357" timestamp="1359392135"]I would move something that is nonperishable from inside out there and use that space for the foodstuff.   Flour, sugar, rice, beans, grains, etc in a bucket are fine if you have them sealed against moisture and they were moisture free to begin with.  Vac sealed dried veggies should be fine.  Canned should be fine.  But I would still try to find something else to put out there and keep the food indoors to keep it safer from moisture, animals, and temp extremes.     Every garage is unique.  If yours is dry and cool most of the year, its perfect.  If its damp or gets 120 in july, its a bad idea.  Home canned foods will not survive temp extremes, and bought cans will not take it for years on end, it will cut down the shelf life.  Most bought cans will rust if it is damp, eventually.[/quote] My garage stays very dry, and it actually keeps a pretty moderate temp if the door stays closed. I guess the biggest problem would be on those hot summer days when I am working on the car or building something and the garage door is open allowing it to assume the outside air temp.

[quote name="peejman" post="898222" timestamp="1359379744"]Heat and critters are the enemy.  I keep stuff like bird seed and dog food in my garage.  I've had to put both of them in sealed plastic containers to keep the mice out.    Keep the canned goods low or on the concrete floor away from any heat source (doors, water heater, etc.).  The concrete will help regulate the temperature.  Rotate your stock.... maintain a FIFO system.   [url=http://www.clemson.edu/extension/hgic/food/food_safety/handling/hgic3505.html]http://www.clemson.edu/extension/hgic/food/food_safety/handling/hgic3505.html[/url]   You mention a root cellar.... got a crawlspace?  It'll stay cooler in there than in your garage.  If you use it, moisture is the main concern. [/quote] I do have a crawl space. It has about 4' of clearance, but I have a moisture problem under there. I have been needing to fix the moisture problem anyway (grading around the foundation and ventilation). That's an interesting idea, though. I could even pour a small concrete pad down there in a convienient spot, get some concrete blocks and build an under-floor pantry with a trap door for access. I had considered doing something similar a couple of years ago for a storm shelter, but pretty much abandoned that idea. I'll put some more thought into that.

  Gridlock is a good thing with the stuff this admin is pushing

  A 3pt boom pole... I wrestled moving my safe not too long ago while my tractor did nothing. What was I thinking?

I have never shot indoors without hearing protection, but I always hunt without it and never even notice it. I have shot lots of clays with a shotgun and duck hunted out of blinds without hearing protection all my life. It doesn't bother me from my own gun, but other guns in a blind do. If I'm hunting in a blind or close proximity with someone else, I will wear hearing protection.   As far as practicing indoors without hearing pro... I wouldn't.

  That's what I'm concerned about. I don't want to put a bunch of stuff out there, have a really hot summer, then have to guess if any damage was done. I'm just out of room. Maybe I should grab the shovel and get to work on a root cellar :shrug:

The only space that we have inside the house for food storage is getting way too crowded. Is the garage a viable option or a bad idea?   Our house sits on a hill, and we have an attached garage. It stays dry and ventilated. The garage is not heated or cooled, but the house around it is. It also has a poured concrete floor and wood-framed/drywall walls/ceiling. I thought about putting some shelving units along one wall and storing canned food out there. I know that warehouses are usually not climate controlled, so I assume it would not harm the canned stuff. What other types of food would "keep" out there? Food buckets with flour, beans, rice, salt, sugar, etc???   Will this be a problem later in the summer months when them temps spike?   Let me know your thoughts... thanks.

  That reminds me... I haven't emailed them yet today. Gonna do it now.

He's a smart guy that believes in freedom and personal responsibility. He is taking some heat from the mayor over it though. I'll send him an email of support as well. We need our local law enforcement on the side of The People and not on the side of the bureaucrats.

  Count me IN !
