Prayer for you this morning.

Reading a book "Defensive Living". Discussing our awareness, the authors gave an example of 4 different people who were all in the same terrorist attack while stopped in a intersection at a stop light. First was a lady who was driving her brand-new car and was sitting in traffic at the stop light. She observed a man walking toward her passenger door with an AK 47 in hand. He stopped and looked directly at her, then went around the car and walked up to her driver's window and turned and shot a man in the car beside her in the next lane. All she thought about was she hoped he did not scratch her new car. Next guy was a politician being driven to an engagement. They were turning in the turn lane, and his thought was someone was making a movie. Next was a paramedic in a car a couple cars lengths back. He seen the glass shatter and his thought was, oh must be a wreck, so he grabbed his emergency bag and began to exit his car. Last guy was in the turn lane behind the politician. He was a highly trained intelligence officer who had been stationed overseas in a dangerous terrorism assignment for months. Had his radio blasting, windows rolled up, and in a state of total unawareness. Sit there and watched the whole incident, then it finally dawned on him what was happening. He quickly turned to the left and got outta dodge. Trainer says it just goes to show how people can watch the same incident and come up with very different conclusions on what they were seeing based on their different experiences in life. All 4 people were totally not in line with defensive living awareness. I must say, at times, I am exactly as these 4 people as far as defensive awareness goes. Something to think about guys and gals!

From the pics that rifle looks flawless. What a find! Love my Henry lever 38/357. It is my family's favorite rifle. They want to shoot it every time they come in for a visit.

Wonder the price point?

Great news DeepSouth. Praying your health returns to you and for your complete healing. Sorry for the rough time you have experienced. Edited to add; Jesus has helped me in the past "numerous" times.

Just purchased Winchester Bonded Nickle Plated Jacketed H P 147 grain Self Defense ammo 500 rounds for 239.00 from SG Ammo. Free Shipping but plus Tax. Good price for Self Defense ammo. I like a heavier bullet in my self-defense ammo. Edited to add; I also get Winchester White box 115 gr RN for practice. Usually pay 259.00 per thousand tax free shipping form S G Ammo. they ship UPS to my door usually in 3 days.

I have holster mounted to the walls in my cabinet, in the kitchen, and have others stashed in areas we spend most of our time. One is within arm's reach of "Big Red" all the time. Big Red is the name my grandson gave my Lazy Boy. Like I stated I do carry on person after getting dressed. I have these guns for me when I am in my PJs, and for the misses as she does not carry on person although she has her CCP. She carries when we travel in our RV. It is a personal thing, stashing firearms. We are empty nesters. Edited to add; I will say the best thing to do is to harden your entry to your home before anything happens. I have also lit up the outside of our home really well and keep lights on, at night, both inside and outside. All my windows have storm windows plus the house windows have nails on each side of the middle divide that can only be removed from the inside. We also have added hardened Larson triple lock storm doors with substantial locks and double pain glass with the 3M in-between the double glass panes so one can't bust through the glass to enter. All this is done so if a determined intruder tries to force entry, they will need to make a lot of noise so my little yappy dog will wake us and "HOPEFULLY" we will have a little time to prepare. Also installed a driveway alarm that chimes when cars come up our long driveway. This plan is better than no plan at all. It cost real money and takes a lot of labor to really harden one's home. I look at as investment in personal safety, but IMO it is necessary this day-in-time. My experience of being chased/attacked in my front year, by 3 thugs, a few years back, gave me a whole new perspective. Young men beating up old physically impaired men. Don't want it to happen again, if I can help it. YMMV

I keep guns staged in my house but when we travel, I lock them in the safe or take them. I pocket carry on person most of the time even at home.

If a manager don't perform, he is outta-there! Granted some are better than others. I have met the guys you are talking about MCM. Makes me not want to go back, however in the end it is all about money.

Same here in Murfreesboro 3".

I know it will deter me if I see a laser dot on my chest at night.

Started snowing, in Lascassas ( Rutherford County), about 6:45. coming down steady and the yard and road has a coat on it now. if it keeps this up all day we are in for a big snow.

I went the Mossberg mdl 500 way. Had a youth model 20 Ga with a side saddle that held 6 rounds and 5 in the tube. It came with an 18 1/2' brl so I purchased a 28" brl for it and gave it to my grandson. I put the plug back in it so it would be legal to hunt with as it only holds 3 rounds in it now. He duck hunts with it. I have a mdl 500 in 12 Ga with a side saddle and 18 1/2" brl in my gun safe now. My 500 has an extended tube on it and it holds 8 rounds on board now. Fills my needs in the shot gun world.

Same for Rutherford County. 4-7 Edited to add; made a large pot of chili yesterday. We are ready????

I purchased a belly band for both my wife and daughter. I doubt either can find it. Didn't work for them.
