My sister at the range

I honestly never thought I'd ever see my sister holding a gun, never mind looking like she's having fun shooting it. I told you you'd like it! I wish I could have gone shooting with her, but she lives on the other side of the country. I'm proud of you Claudia! Now I need to buy you an NRA membership.

Gun Makers Set Sights On Female Buyers

"For years, gun stores were predominantly patronized by men. But these days, shooting ranges and shops selling firearms are seeing more female customers than ever before, and that has them changing the way they do business..."  MORE

CT resident hunters already knew the Mountain Lion originated in upstate NY

"Cougar killed by CT car had passed through NY "

The latest bogus headline about the mountain lion which was recently killed in CT. 

"LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. — Environmental officials say a cougar killed by a car in Connecticut tramped through upstate New York last year, a rare sighting in a state where the big cats are believed to have been gone for more than a century.

Cindy Eggleston reported seeing the cat in her Lake George backyard in December. Her husband David, a former Department of Environmental Conservation colonel, and DEC officer Louis Gerrain took pictures of the tracks and gathered hairs...." MORE

What proof do they have that it "passed through" NY and didn't originate there? CT hunters have said for years that our mountain lion population came from upstate NY. Many believe they were put there to control the exploding deer and coyote populations, but that's just conjecture.

Just this week an guy who works in my office space informed me that a mid-size mountain lion, long tail all, passed right in front of his girlfriend's car a day earlier. 

We don't need any more proof DEP.

Desiree' and Ted Nugent ROCK!!!!

Desiree' is one of the few things that still make me proud to be from Connecticut. Have you ever seen anyone have more fun playing Rock'n Roll than this girl?!  GO DESIREE'!!

Product testing tomorrow

The weather doesn't look too promising, but I'm hoping to shoot rain or shine. I'll be testing out some new products for the .380. Check out my .380 page for the full story.

Police urge holster use after man shoots his own penis

"As Chandler residents Joshua Seto, 27, and his fiancée, Cara Christopher, walked over to a Fry's Food Store for refreshments, he tried securing her pink handgun in the front waistband of his pants. The gun fired, striking Seto's penis and continuing through his left thigh. The bleeding started immediately and was heavy, according to police dispatch recordings released Sunday..." MORE 

Now after you stop laughing, realize that there's a lesson to be learned here. ALWAYS USE A HOLSTER! ~Bob

Man holds would-be robbers at gunpoint until cops arrive in New Haven (video)

"NEW HAVEN — Brandon Kruse went out for some sushi and a beer on State Street, but instead found himself surrounded by three young teens. One punched him in the head.

Surrounded and believing he was about to be mugged, Kruse, a 29-year-old sales manager, pulled out his .40-caliber handgun — and ultimately helped police capture all three assailants... MORE
