I bought a copy of AJAshinoff's first book and sent one to him
for an advertising copy! -- j

Interesting that all these firearm posts come in reply to a post from a Gulcher in New Zealand which is more or less a gun free zone.

I wish I could join you, we have a new house too, but we've downsized, to 100m2. cheers, Maree

Preordered copy of AS part II. And some jewelry. Next, shoes. Non utilitarian. Yes, I'm feeling girly.

I like the .380 myself [it's really comfortable to shoot, which equals more practice accomplished.] I load mine with Glasers - [ need to shoot those little devils up and get either some new ones or something else that increases stopping power.] Suggestions? Oh, and "tiny"? A friend owns a .45 derringer. It's adorable, and one of the bravest things I ever did was shoot it - the SECOND time. :)

Ha! I thought I'd do that a few years back so I picked up the forms. I was required to give my drivers license number, which I have no problem, and they they required my social security number. No effing way am I going to let the pigs climb up my a double s with a microscope, get my social security number, and them have me pay for the pleasure. I tore up the sh*t application. I carry concealed and they can stuff their permit.

Going to treat myself to finally getting my concealed carry permit and a new pistol.

Are you going to have one of those popcorn makers, too?? Have fun with the new place!

Smith and Wesson really has great smaller pistols that are designed with a purse in mind.

Nice gun and it would be great for my purse, but it's a little to chunky to stick in my pants (the waistband of my track pants I mean.)

My husband got me this little 22LR mini, nice & small, yet still gives a level of threat.

Thanks, but I'm not new to shooting or guns :) Just don't have a tiny one....yet. I'm thinking of a Kel-Tec .380 with a permanent belt clip. I borrowed one from my neighbor just to see how comfortable it is and I liked it a lot.

well, I certainly won't consider something I don't need, such as reloading equipment!

Get training from someone you interview and trust, and try out pistols [I think ranges here in Colorado will rent] before you buy, and practice, practice, practice - the mechanics and the mindset. Read Paxton Quigley, Jeff Cooper and everybody else you can get your hands on. Did I say practice? Oh, wait. You do not, repeat not, want a "small' gun - less weight will transfer the recoil right to you. You want the biggest caliber gun you can reliably learn to shoot that will give you what is called a "one shot stop" .357, .45, 10mm, 9mm or .40 with the right ammo. I would be happy to advise you privately if you like - this is one of my passions.

More ammunition for the firearms I own, and a copy of The $100 Start Up.

Atlas Shruged Pt II and a much larger home that I am purchasing with all of my "evil" profits.

The new home will complement my new DVD, since it has a huge multimedia room in which I will watch the movie with friends.

The "other side"?

I pre-ordered the AltasShrugged part II video.
What else?

I still think avoiding crossing over to the other side is better.
But, keep to the law, know how to use it, and take care.

Last night when I was out for my evening walk some (homeless?) dude attempted to spit on me and then demanded my phone. I, of course, refused and skeedaddled the hell away from him (luckily) BUT I am now convinced to start carrying a small gun while I'm out walking. (Thanks to my husband who's been warning me about walking at night, then proceeded to riddle me with "what if ..." scenarios, which all ended with me dead in a ditch.) So I will be purchasing that for myself for Christmas. Ho Ho Ho! :)

I'm in the process of buying a new handgun, a Sig P220 to be exact. In addition, I'm splurging on the set of Public Choice Economics books written by James Buchanan. I might buy some more silver and gold, but I might wait until after the holidays.
