Good Morning (((Dansy))))!

[humblegunner]

TGIF Indeed!
(And likely too cold for the range tomorrow)

Good Morning {{{{{{{{{{{Pippin}}}}}}}}}}}! :-)

Predicted temp of 16 for tomorrow morning here in the Deep South (!)with a high of 36.

There are definite advantages to having a membership at an indoor range! (And disadvantages, too - but I do enjoy the climate control!) :-)

[Lee'sGhost]

Wow! I had no idea you were so cool -- and so refreshingly NOT a wennie lib chick. And, if I may say, you have really nice triggers.

[dansangel]

LOL!! I thank you for the compliments.....I think!

Wonderful thread Dansy.

I carry a Bersa .380. This is not a cheap import product. Bersa Arms of Argentina has been around four decades and their guns have come to be regarded as reliable self-defense and backup firearms by both civilians and law enforcement pros.

My hands are small and the 9mms I tried were to wide for my hand. The Bersa is a perfect fit. It's only jammed a few times DUE to MY NOT holding it tight enough.

Good essay on women and guns. Everyone should carry a gun, in the cities especially. Crime is high in cities and I know of three seperate instances where just the appearance of a gun stopped a criminal in his tracks in the city that you live in. Also know of an instance that having a gun came in handy up here in the mountains while hiking deep in the woods.

Cool gun, Gail!

At 5'10" I have fairly large hands for a woman. I have found the stockier grips to be more to my liking. Plus, I have the very beginning stages of arthritis (ugh!) in the "pads" under both thumbs, so a larger grip is more comfortable.

I've looked at the Bersa at gun shows. It seems to be a very well-made gun! Whatever works and is comfortable...that's the key!

Good morning Fiddlstix! Thanks for the coffee, donuts and music. :)

Thank-you for backing up the point I was trying to make! Moving to Atlanta from a small seaside town in Florida (pop. 15,000) was an eye-opener for me. That, coupled with my beloved 1986 Monte Carlo SS being trashed in an attempt to steal it (I had to give it up after 14 years...I was so upset!) let me know in a big way that I had to play by big-city rules from now on!

I hate to hear that crime has infiltrated the mountains. It's depressing, but a fact of life we need to deal with.

Thank-you for the caffeine and sugar, {{{{{{{{Fiddlstix}}}}}}}}}}}!! That hot coffee on this cold morning in the Peach State looks awfully inviting!

I was reading your commentary.

While I don't own a gun (I work in a federal building and you can't carry a gun into a federal building). I strongly believe in EVERY man and woman's right to own and carry a gun for self protection or protecting a loved one.

As a child I was taught to respect guns and never to misuse them or treat them like toys. This is something I believe every child should be taught so there would be little or no inncidents.

Instead of punishing law abiding citizens by taking away thier 2nd amendment rights, I think gun safety and respect should be taught. That is my opinion.

Forgot to say that all 4 instances happened out in the open in broad daylight....it always happens when you would least expect it to.

BTW...we're the same height. :)
