I like the Smith & Wesson handguns. The first one I bought has interchangeable grips so I can use the small ones and my DH can change it out to the larger ones for himself - after I am dead and gone, lol. I like the S&W's - DH likes the Springfield's so no mag sharing here.

All my S&W 40 mags work in all my S&W 40 guns. The long ones stick out the bottom on the Shield, but they work fine.

I also need to do some target practice. I'm guessing that the safest place to be, if I am shooting... would be right in front of my target.

Hmmm...well, I won't be looking at that gun then. VA here.

But I rarely use any I have. It is something I've been thinking I need to change up and do some practice. Then I will consider a new one, or not. Oh, I'm also concerned about how many firearms I may have here. Mostly just some hunting rifles and a small hand gun. They're tucked away, in cases. A lightweight pistol would be my choice.

My son in law was there today. I just heard the Rev Al on TV proclaiming some of the protesters are neo-nazis. The Rev is so out of touch with reality, it's actually comical. My son in law a former US Marine, is the exact opposite of a neo-nazi. If you watch the numerous videos, there were an estimated 12,000 protesters wearing their gun collections, a whopping 1 arrest and zero guns discharged. A armed peaceful protest to say the least.

I took my wife out to dinner this evening after getting a little granddaughter loving. Upon leaving it was dark and I noticed my wife's bus had a headlight out. I side we'll drive into town with the foglights on and stop at the auto parts store and get a new light bulb before we go to dinner.

I got into town and got behind a state trooper at a stop light. The speed limit was 40 when the light turned green, the fastest this trooper would go was 30. Then he tapped his brakes. I got over in the right hand lane and passed him going 40. As I did he looked at me. Next thing I know, yep lights are flashing... and my wife said it's your long hair! I started laughing...

So I pulled over, thew on the emergency flashers and waited for the officer. My wife said aren't you going to roll down the window? Nope, my hands will stay right on this steering wheel, unless he tells me otherwise. The officer walked up to the window and I could hear his dog barking in the squad car behind us. He tapped on the window and asked me to roll it down, so I did.

he said, do you know you have a head light out? I said yes sir and we were just going to the auto parts store to get a new one, that's why I have my fog lights on. Then I said, I want to inform you that I'm a consealed carry permit holder. Much to my surpise, he said thank you for letting me know. Then he said, Good, everyone should have a consealed carry permit, well not everyone but most everyone. Then he asked for my licence and insurance. He took my license back to the squad car. He came back in a few minutes with my license and said as he handed me my licence back, just a verbal warning tonight.

And that was it, easy smeazy... No if and or butts, not get out of the vehicle with your hands where I can see them, no frisk, no unloading, no nothing, just a "Good"... It was very pleasant experience for the first time being pulled over while consealed carrying. and not at all like some of the strange stories you might have read about on the internet.

In all honesty though, my wife is so pretty and all dolled up for dinner, she probably hypnosised the poor guy

Now CVS and Walgreen's joined Walmart and Kroger. Although the CVS statement is more direct

I like the Smith & Wesson M&P handguns. The one I bought has different size grips you can put on it, so my husband , with his big hands, can put on the large grip if he wants to use it for some reason. I like the middle sized grip, but it comes with a small grip also. It is hard to be accurate with a gun that has too large of grip for your hand. it needs to be comfortable to hold.

In Cheyenne, we had a city police officer comment that he never goes to the Walmart without his side arm. Walmart has the most calls in the city for disturbances - inside the store or in the parking lot. I admit, there were times I would drive into the parking lot and then leave without parking or going in.

All I can say is the problem is not the guns, it is People behaving badly!!

I went and looked yesterday I think I found the one i think my wife would like. its a .380 smith and Wesson EZ. It slides easy anyways. Of course I told her its a .380 and she said "because I told you I wanted a 9mm". I said you need to go with me and look, I'm not you and no I'm not biased against 9mm. I said I think you would like it.

380 is a nice round. I think she will like it. I love my 40mm, but it is $$ to shoot. 9mm is a more common round than the 4 so it is cheaper to buy. I think 380 ammunition would be similar to a 9 in price.

Friends of mine just bought a Smith & Wesson shield for concealed carry. I think in 9mm, could have been a 380. Guess I need to listen better.
