  1. Yeah , if I were you then I would pop in and get a Tdap. If it ricocheted of steel that is often in the dirt tetanus can be a concern. If you don't have dr office visits covered or have an ER deductible , just go to a local pharmacy and tell them you are going to be around a newborn and you can probably get one for 25 bucks.The same pharmacies that do the flu shot will often do the Tdap too. Some require a script from a doc , some do not.
  2. ^ yes , that. I said it earlier but in case you missed it..dirty metal in your cranium area . Lockjaw is no fun! You and your wife had a baby recently , right? If they jabbed you in the hospital when the baby(ies) were born you got a booster for tetanus.
  3. whoah..glad you're ok. Are you current on your Tdap? If it has been awhile a quick booster at a walk in is probably a good idea .
  4. The LCR revolver?About the same size . The Shield as a single may be a tad thinner though.
  5. I think The Stones are my only real favorite "band" I like too many stuff from too many different genres to answer easily. My music collection contains everything from The Stones and Beatles to Metallica , to Ella Fitzgerald , to Ziggy Marley and everything in between.
  6. All those things listed are supposed to be kept away from small children or child proofed . A child is no more dangerous with a power drill because someone showed him how it works. Showing him how it works adds zero danger . If he picks it up he will probably get hurt whether he has been shown how to drill holes or not. My own reasons for not letting a child that age handle a handgun like that is because of the cloud of lead he is inhaling and getting on his hands. I started my daughter recently at age 5 ..if I tell her not to touch her face or put her fingers in her mouth because they are dirty from shooting the gun , she won't until she is washed up . A kid that size mouths everything every chance they get usually before you can stop them. But again..not my kid . I see idiot parents doing FAR worse stuff all the time . I keep my mouth shut unless it is a friend or family member. Then it is usually just a suggestion in case they were not aware of the issue.
  7. Eye protection would have been a nice touch. Personally that is not something I would go for but the kid seems safe , father seems in control. Free country as long as he is not putting his kid in imminent danger nothing to say or see here , move along. What is he shooting?
  8. Back when we had metal fenders instead of molded bumpers ....made more sense to have bumper stickers Personally I am kind of tired of seeing those stick on stick families. I also don't like "baby on board" stickers. Sorry for the tangent.

    Ruger SP 101-2.25"-.357/.38 -or- Rock Island Armory Tactical compact-3"-.45acp Which one? The Ruger , because I never heard of the other one , and plus Pizza Bob said SP01 lol What would YOU choose and why? I have the M&P 9 Shield to carry. It is thin and from all of the sub compacts I have tried it has the lowest recoil. When I get tense in a training course or in games, recoil management is the first thing to go. Though it is a work in progress on my part and I am making a conscious effort to improve it , the less I have to deal with in a SHTF situation the better. So when I cross the Border to the USA I will be wearing it in an IWB holster. Having tried a few BUGs thanks to a few good members here I can say the Nano was snappy for me as was a .380..the PPS was real nice but too long of a reach for my trigger finger even with the small backstrap. PX4 Storm SubC was nice ..but too fat to conceal.The Shield is JUUUST right lol I carry it in the house when home alone with the kids. Would probably grab the shotgun if on the first floor and the dogs were dealing with an intruder..but if the dogs are in the yard and someone comes in the front window I don't entertain time to get anything out of any safe and the Shield is thin enough and light enough to tuck comfortably in a Remora even if I am wearing Pete's boxers or yoga pants around the house. I just hope I never have to find out if it is a good carry gun for me :/
  10. browsing with sick 15 month old on my lap..this just put him to sleep after hours of bit@*ing a blue streak . Will be downloading some Gangnam lol

    So , if I want to sell it does someone have to burn a P2P you think? lol
  12. Sandy replied to Sandy's topic in General Discussion
    So that is what that little metal rod attached to the keyring is for... Seems you can['t get the bullets for it. That other guy made his. Hmmmm.

    I had the same exact one as your dad then I remember the bunny engraved on it. I'm kind of wigging out about the swiss made revolvers. It looked JUST like this . http://images.search...rn&fr=yfp-t-701 Wish I had not given it ( and them) away! They were like 5 of them and I bought them for a few bucks. It was an Estate sale in Kearny ..the guy had no living relatives . He was a Sea Scouts member and such. He had all these children's toys in his basement ..even though he had no kids. It was kind of creepy. My other friend bought all of this vintage Sears wood working gear for 10 dollars a piece. A table saw , band saw , jigsaw , lathe ..he had all cool stuff. Sad , really. I'm making my friend tear apart her attic of her boy's stuff to try and find the ones I gave them. She was reluctant at first , so I said all gravely in a low voice.." they are REAL guns " So I'm sure she'll get right on that , as she "hates guns" lmao

    The other one looked like these and these little bullets were with it. I thought they were straight up caps. ?? Funny. Hope I find the rest of them at some point.. http://images.search...0r&fr=yfp-t-701 ^ that keeps going to the wrong picture. Scroll ahead 4 pics to the keychain with the little bullets with it
  16. 2mm pinfire ? Thought it was a plain old keychain lol Picked them up at an estate sale in Kearny in around 1995 . I had 5 of them..2 revolvers made in switzerland , one that looked like a blunderbust ( sp??) . All tiny . I gave a few to friend's kids..they are grown now and can't find them..I asked lol

    Bears in the woods are surprisingly easy to scare off as long as you don't surprise a mom with cubs. The ones that are use to maurading yards and are use to humans shouting and banging pots..not so much. Still not too dangerous though. Most times when a Grizzly attacks it was a mom with cubs that was surprised or a pushy human who ignored warnings ( like the recent photographer that was killed. Hey , he got the shot though!) Mountain lions , different story. I would have to disagree with the shotgun . Where I have spent time in mountain lion country where attacks had occurred , the preferred deterrent is a decent sized round in a handgun you can get to on the ground while in a struggle. You usually have no idea the cat is even there until you are ambushed and rolling around with it. People who do not want to carry usually have a knife or bear spray carried in the same mannerism. But , since it is a just for fun big gun I say get something ridiculous that you will only shoot once in a while . Because it is fun I would love to try one of those S&W 500s. Would need someone rolling video for that for sure.lol
  18. Try http://alarmcoaudiotech.com/ Guy's name is Craig Newby . If you do call , tell him Sandy from the old King Alarm and Alarmax , Bob' s daughter , gave you his info.
  19. No , don't do it yourself . As an end user you don't have access to the good commercial equipment. If you are in Ocean County I have a few good companies you can call. Give me a minute to look up their numbers.

    Great holster , nice guy to deal with it. Thanks !
  21. Debate! Debate! http://www.guns.com/high-tech-additions-to-a-low-tech-concept-a-brief-history-of-the-snub-nosed-revolver-3031.html http://www.snubnose.info/docs/model60-15.htm http://www.chuckhawks.com/personal_defense_revolver.htm I know , Wikipedia says under 3"
  22. Boy tell a bunch of guys 3" qualifies as "snubbie" and they go off the rails and get all defensive lolololol
  23. And my condolences for your loss
  24. FBI..Bluegrass...ah the good old days. All gone. I've been out of it for 6 years now after 14 years in it , but even as I was leaving Vista , Napco , DSC , all put out reliable wireless systems. I heard DMP was good( I was not a distributor for them ) I was just going to say what others have said ..stay away from ADT and other chains like them. You'll get better services and monitoring from an independent installer.
