Okay, the thing is, when I get back from Australia I'll be staying at my folk's place which is on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. We have six acres of heavily wooded property with about maybe less than an acre of residential space. There are woods all around, and, the property is 600ft. up the side of a mountain. I'm not worried about over penetration. I'm interested in stopping power. I can't handle a 12ga. and the carbine is my dad's so I want my own. I've looked at the Ruger .44mag and the mini-14. It' looks like I'm leaning towards the .44mag which I think I can handle.

To give you an idea of what the area looks like visit: www.drdale.com

- the camera is pointing right across the Hood Canal at the area where I live.

Wait, you’re a chick? That would have been important info.

.223 semi auto rifle is too long, too loud and too hard to conceal.

You want a semi auto 9mm, it won’t jump out of your hand like .44 mag, it’s high capacity and you can conceal it.

Oh I have been there.. Lovely country.

Sounds like you don’t have to worry about hitting stray neighbors. It’s gonna knock down a bear if it has to.

Still I am not familiar with the .44 mag.

I suppose it makes all the sense in the world up there.

Best regards

I tried to immigrate to Brisbane in the mid 80s.

Thats the same time that I was in Wa state.

I was just looking for a place that a man was free to roam.

I ended up in Texas.
The Aussies woulndnt have me.
