My Private Mail is crowded with offers for teaching, try-outs, etc., from many NES members - all very much appreciated! It’ll take some time to sort a plan and schedule among us three family members with day jobs. Until she has training and decides whether to carry and/or keep a gun in her...

Yet to be determined - she hasn’t shot since a teenager.

MFL is just 5mi away and I’m a member 😉 I figured the 1st time shooting in over a decade, an instructor can teach/advise her rather than me. Mom is willing and interested in joining as well. I don’t need to be there but let’s make it a family outing! Some of MFL’s folks are well-experienced...

She’s 27, just finishing an amicable divorce (as amicable as they can be), and is moving from Nashua to Manchester to an apartment that‘s in an OK neighborhood but not immune from violent crime. I asked if she’d like to go to an NRA Refuse to be a Victim class together and she said, how about a...

Silencers heard from China? That’s a contradiction in terms! Until the Progressives and Liberal Democrats are out, Biden’s ATF and DOJ will be prosecuting Ghost Guns, oil filters, aftermarket parts, et., well beyond limits set by law. Fortunately, policy can be reversed much more quickly than laws.

Better a dupe than a nope.

"A lot of times on the street guys are shooting with one hand and to try and control this with just one hand would be nearly impossible,” Pierce said. “You’re going to have innocent bystanders in the background and the foreground who could also get hit by this.” And don’t forget innocent people...

Brain development in areas related to emotional control and behavior in males is not complete until age 26. That doesn’t mean men gain self-control at 26 - only that things can drift until then due to hardware changes. The software can be alpha until age 40+ or reach release version 1.0 in late...

While I voted no, as I’m a NH resident working in BOS and have no non-resident LTC (I did for a decade) I realized I carry in NH when working remote from home, so maybe I do 50/50 now.

Accepting Brady’s numbers, < 120k people are shot and killed/wounded yearly in the USA. With 393 million guns in the US, that’s a 0.03% effectiveness rate for guns. Lethality even less. For an instrument whose only purpose is to kill, a 3 in 10,000 rate of shootings by guns is pretty poor...

Back when ARs were briefly legal in MA, I checked in at Logan and declared my Bushmaster AR15. I turned the case toward the woman checking me in, opened it and pointed at the open and empty chamber. She said I had to pick it up and “rack the slide” to show it was empty.That would have initiated...

…and he was looking for a power converter in the Sporting Goods department? What a lame story - the journalist had a pre-conceived motive to write something anti-gun on Twitter.

The FB Forgotten NH group has a very long thread about this double-murder. All the usual perspectives represented. “If someone is intent on killing you, they probably will”, “This post has no place in this group”, “I’ve hiked the AT and never carried a gun”, etc. While attempting restraint, it’s...
