As far as pistols go I've been trying multiples and different sizes calibers and carry style and my favourite is the Ruger security six with a 9 o clock cross draw. It's been my favourite since the late 80s and yes I've tried out multiple handguns . The SIG Sauer 226 is much easier to carry but I just prefer the security six because of the 30+ year's I have with it

When it comes to conceal carry, a person should carry what works best for them, you're smart to try out a few and then stick with the one you liked best

Care to elaborate how a trigger is "accidently" pulled, or did you mean negligently pulled? There is a huge difference and on that DAO revolver you were using for reference, there's absolutely no excuse for that trigger to be pulled unless intended.

Having also worked with horses for years, I can relate to using the blunt-pointed cutting tool on a lead rope. The last thing ANY of us want to ever do is harm one of our horses.....they are like family and surprisingly frail, sometimes. Given how thick they are, I would think it would take a LONG time to cut through a lead rope.a lead rope would take a LONG time to cut, I would think. Is there a reason why you wouldn't just use a quick release knot where the rope attaches to the trailer?
@MATTMASONMUSICКүн бұрын
Personally I don't tie horses in trailers i have, but its not the norm for me, but am around enough people that do. Usually those people always just have a standard lead. I keep that knife sharp enough to almost shave with, so it could cut thru fast enough.

G'day mate, new subber here from my little farm in Queensland Australia. First off that .38 five shot looked a nice sidearm mate, I've always had a soft spot for .38 snubbies, secondly, your boy is a crack shot, his name is Haggard (Merl?), & he's wearing a John Deer hoodie, may I say hats off to you & your wife sir for raising them right! May Almighty God bless you all, keep you all & protect you all, take care sir.

I understand you feel the need to be armed to protect your loved ones, but it's unfortunate that in your country you need one. Here in 🇨🇦 we generally don't need to arm ourselves
@NewBeganningsAgain2 күн бұрын
It’s not just due to being able to protect ourselves and loved ones. The constitution is taken very serious by many in this country. And many stand behind it. We have the most alienable rights and freedoms in the world and we exercise them and stand behind them so we never lose them. Think of it like being practice makes perfect. But in some places throughout America there are some pretty crime ridden areas unfortunately. Usually here if you keep to yourself. You’re usually okay though.

I'm now 71 YO. When I was 6 years old my Dad said son a man carries 3 things . One is a pocket knife, two is a wallet and three is a wrest watch. Come Christmas time my Dad bought me all three things.. Ever since then everyday I had those items on me. Now if your caught with a pocket knife in school the police will be called. Damn shame. Once I became an adult I have carried a 6 inch blade on my belt and I still do. I have a multitool attached to the sheath of my knife so I have all that covered large and small. I also wear a vest and a fanny pack with my other EDC inside which includes Berretta .22 pistol. Life is good to be old.
