“The next state to lose congressional representation in 2030.”

There were a number of political observers (me included) who thought we were gonna lose a seat this year!

“All because they’re cowards who want communism but won’t move to a commie country!”

To be fair, there are not that many left since their citizens threw communism off 30 years ago. A fact that apparently is not covered in history class.

Thanks, Steve, ... very much, ... be safe and get the wife a smaller revolver.

Thank you. Right after that event, we bought her a 9mm S and W. It's very light and, I think, built for women. They even had enough ammo so we can use it. The important thing is she can handle it with ease.

[Spktyr]

Telling women to get a revolver these days is a bad idea, especially for older women. Revolvers have neither the recoil mitigation nor the ammo capacity needed for modern self defense engagements. Rate and volume of fire is even more important these days.

The Smith M&P Shield 9EZ?

"Minnesota Nice" was an EASY TARGET.

They were primed to be attacked and used as an optic for the rest of the country.

When my Uncle Tony retired from farming, he worked as a janitor at Gustavus. I loved visiting him because I got a TON of pens from him.

(I say this because Tony was a very wealthy farmer, who saw no shame in working, plus Antie Esther talked way too much...)

They're simple to operate, concealable and very shootable.

A J frame, that is.

A .38 Spl with 90 or 110 gr Hornady Critical Defense or even 148 gr HBWC have mild recoil.

I would advise a semi, too, but maybe that's all they have or are comfortable with it.

Plymouth: Today a junior high kid fired a gun in Plymouth Middle School.

It’s too hot south of Minneapolis. Maybe Grand Forks, ND
for the New Hope member. Ilhan Omar is my US Rep....

No-go zone. Could just renamed it to Minneapolis Township to commemorate the excitement that happened in the “townships” of South Africa after Apartheid was halted.

[familyop]

Many women, especially many older women, have difficulty racking the slide on a compact 9mm. Not all but many. Some of the little pistols have tough springs in them.

[familyop]

Whatever works for an individual, though. That’s what’s important.

[grey_whiskers]

If New York had counted 89 more people Minnesota would have lost a representative in Congress, not them.

[grey_whiskers]

FReepmail.

[Spktyr]

That’s what the 9EZ is about - massively reduced slide effort, it’s stupid easy to rack, but it doesn’t have increased recoil.

[Spktyr]

If you already have one, sure, though it’s less than ideal. Otherwise - upgrade. Five or six shots is not enough at all any more.

She looks like one of the girls who would get married soon after college, simply because she was snapped up by a similar great guy.

[Eagles6]

I agree, but of course the best selling semis, especially for women, are single stacks with 6 or 7 rd mags.
