Looked at and held the Sig at Gander as well and liked it. Nice trigger... felt good. Shot my 380BG yesterday and must say I really like the gun. I shot a an old deer head at 20 feet and hit it 4 of 7 times and haven't shot it in months and no laser. Just lifted it up with both hands and instinctively shot. I have been working on this type of shooting as I can't see the sight well enough to use them and don't want to have to use the laser.

I had my wife rack the BG 380 tonight. At first she could not even budge it but after she learned that she could use the meat of her hand and thumb and simply pull back and release it was pretty good for her. We need to go the range and shoot to see if this is a go. I'd say right now it better than 50/50 she will be able to use this 380 or the Ruger. She does like the laser and I think the Ruger laser is in a better place and is easier to activate. That being said, I was at Gander this afternoon and one of the handgun techs showed me how to use my weak thumb (left hand) to activate the BG380 and it is quite easy.

I like it... thanks!

I like the thought of the 22mag for her. Specs are small. I have both 38 and 380 BG. As small as the 38 BG is it still seems a little big for a women to conceal and has more kick. The .380 is perfect but I have to see if she can rack it... not all that easy if you don't have strength in your hands. The NAA22mag may be the answer. Question: it appears as a single action, therefore would have to be cocked each time to shoot. Not sure I like that... am I correct in this?

Looking into a good conceal carry for the Mrs. Has shot both S&W .38 bodyguard and .380 bodyguard. Any other suggestions?

It is true... black ink only.

I have a Foxpro call w/ remote. I can hunt the hardwoods or fields. How would you set up?

Unlocked doors and locked doors is the difference between "breaking and entering"

I stopped into my local sporting goods store a few doors from where I work. They carry quite a line of guns, excluding handguns. The rifle racks were nearly all full except the rack with the modern semi autos. There was just 1 in the entire rack, just 1. Yeah there is a run on them.

I have a 22-250 with 55gr and my son uses the same .243 with 100gr that he uses for deer.

I talked to family that kids in Sherburne and yes there is a threat. THe school principal had an automated call go out to all the families about the threat.

Yes!!!

For those of you that are for or against changes in the gun laws here is a simple question. Either you like the laws exactly as they are now OR you feel that some kind of change need to be made in an effort to make it safer to live in the USA. These changes could be but not limited to: ban AK's and AR's for the general public; 5 bullet clip limit; every gun purchase, private or new requires a paper trail, everyone has a gun card; etc. A) Do you want the gun laws to stay as they are? Do you feel that some kind of change should be made?

Makes sense... I see this all the time. Cop cars running with no one in them.

IN HEAVEN Twas 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38 When 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven's gate. Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air. They could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there. They were filled with such joy, they didn't know what to say. They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day. "Where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse. "This is heaven" declared a small boy. "We're spending Christmas at God's house." When what to their wondering eyes did appear,but Jesus, their Savior, The children gathered near. He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same. Then He opened His arms and He called them by name. And in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring Those children all flew into the arms of their King. And as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace, One small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face. And as if He could read all the questions she had, He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of mom and dad". Then He looked down on earth, the world far below, He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow and woe. Then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand, "Let My Power and Presence re-enter this land! May this country be delivered from the hands of fools. I'm taking back My nation. I'm taking back My schools!" Then He and the children stood up without a sound. "Come now My children, let Me show you around." Excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran. All displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can. And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight, "In the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT!" written by Cameo Smith, Mt. Wolf , PA

Joe, although you and I have not agreed on things that we have stated, I really like your letter. Well thought out.

agree +1 Love the SW 380 shoots great!

Culver... I think CC should be nationwide and anywhere except Fed Bldgs, churchs, etc. It is a federal background check so it should be nationally.

Good suggestion Steve. Some will find this to troublesome though.

Couldn't have said it better. Someone offering a similar thought as my own post. Let's see if we can work together to come up with some solutions. Maybe some of us the are NRA members can actually send some of our suggestions to them.

OK I'm back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry if I pissed off the mods. Hope you will welcome me back with open arms. I really think this topic has gone away from the original post asking for solutions of how can we get illegal handguns off the street. As long as it has and we are on gun control I thought I'd add this. I think we all forget that the 2nd amendment was passed in 1791. Here is a link: http://faculty.ncwc.edu/mstevens/410/410lect11.htm What kind of guns did we have back then. Do you think our forefathers could even fathom where we would be today with the type of weaponry there is now. It's a bit like the challenges of the Presidency today and the presidency in Lincoln's time. They are just totally different. The challenges of today far out weigh the challenges of yesteryear. Here is a quote from the legislature written under the gun control section of the link provided above. In 1911, New York State passed the Sullivan Law, which required a police permit to possess a handgun. The National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934 was the first federal regulation. It required every gun owner to carry a card, and imposed strict regulations on "gangster style" machineguns. Note, they say in 1934 "ganster style" machineguns. The AK's and AR's may not be "ganster style" machineguns but they are closer to them then say a musket. They were capable of shooting many bullets quickly. They are not that much less than a machine gun. They were the weapons of choice for the mafia and criminals of the early century. From what I have been reading here it appears that the lions share of responders are perfectly happy with the way things are. I'm telling ya... things are gonna change. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next year but they will change. It is better to join together and think of ways to better our situation with the senseless murders that are only going to continue to escalate. I would rather be involved and have a say in those changes than to just sit back and dig our heels in. I would be curious to ask. How many of us that are responding own or plan to own AR's or AK's? I do not own nor do I plan to own either... just have no interest. In closing, Obama said in Chicago, "more people are killed with cheap handguns than AK's". That's the reason for my original post.

I'm outta here... some of you mods have your own agenda.

A bit of truth in that quote
