Quit reloading a number of years back after first stroke. Fast forward almost 20 years and thinking it will help keep me active.

Let's see - Defund the Police = crime spiking like crazy.
No more assigned PD on campus = ???

And there were that I know of at least two teachers/staff members at schools where I taught who were Reserve Officers in one PD or another and they had letters/and an agreement with LAUSD PD that they were "on duty" and armed (concealed) while teaching.


Armed teachers are a controversy all around the country right now. I really think it is a shame it has come to this need.
To bad we can't just shoot Canon and Nikon's.

If you want to stay in and hide from virus i welcome that and if you want to socialize I dont judge that either. You want wear a mask your choice or maskless im fine with that also. Just ask one question, if the vaccine works and you have it why are you still scared. Just as many people with vaccine if not more are catching the virus...hmm...remember just my thoughts. Am I right I dont know but soon the facts wont be hidden by gov't and we may all see we were fooled.


I have had a hard time trusting the political system since the TET of 68. Then too it is hard to trust those that lie more often than not and seem more motivated by agenda than facts.
Then too many only know what CNN tells them.

I can't understand why anyone would want to kill a bear minding his//her own business. Leave them alone and they will leave you alone. Just don't get in between a mother bear and her cubs though. The other day I saw a Yorky chase a bear up a tree.


You need to determine the type of bear. A Black Bear is seldom interested in bothering you. A Grizzly Bear on the other is a different story. Grizzlies are unpredictable and sometimes downright mean. Oh and then too at time see you as a meal.

I carry a 1911, full mag, one up the pipe, thumb safety on; the way the pistol was designed to be carried. My carry holster covers the trigger guard

Training wise, I follow this maxim: DON'T PUT YOUR BOOGER HOOK ON THE BANG SWITCH UNTIL YOU'VE IDENTIFIED YOUR INTENDED TARGET AND ARE READY TO SHOOT!

A properly working 1911 will not discharge "accidentally".

As to the OP, the pistol didn't accidentally discharge; it was a negligent discharge.


Yep, a pistol does not go off unless the trigger is pulled. That is especially true of 1911's. Series 70 had not only the manual safety but a grip safety and both had to be engaged. The newer series 80 added a firing pin safety. Been using them since 68 and never seen or know anyone with first hand knowledge of a 1911 or any pistol going off accidentally without pulling the trigger. It was a negligent discharge.

Seriously, Starlings are like Grackles, large enough that you can place wire mesh like chicken wire around the feeders with a mesh size large enough to let the small birds in but keep the Starlings out. It has worked for me in the past.


Only problem with that is other birds of any size can't reach the food either. My neighbor has a pellet rifle which is quiet. Even the accurate higher end air rifles are cheaper than shot guns. Especially when you start figuring in shells. He got over 30 the first day. Then they stared thinning out and after a few days it only needs maintenance. His efforts seem to take care of them coming to my yard too. Reading I found out they are territorial and form flocks. In some places a flock can be over 200.

Been really wet and/or really cold lately. Thought I would see if the dogs remembered about the flash and getting treats. They did.

There is another problem. As far as saftey goes it is potentially bigger than a cracked plate or the outlet to far back. The plug itself is upside down. Not sure if it is code but it is "best practice." The logic is that something falling has much less chance of shorting because round hole is the ground.

That is really going back a ways. Liked the original show a bit better but this one made you think a bit more.

At the end of last May I retired and moved to South Carolina to be closer to my sister and brother. I had lived in my NC home for more than 20 years.

Recently I decided to rent an apartment and I completed all of the necessary documents needed for approval. The apartment complex does a credit check and history report on potential tenants.

I was not approved by management to rent an apartment. Their history report stated that I had been convicted of two felonies for possession of child pornography and distribution. The report also stated that I was a 6 foot tall male who weighed 242 pounds. I am 5 feet seven inches tall and weigh about 170 pounds.

Needless to say, I was extremely disturbed by the information in the report. It turned out that the person with the felony convictions has my name and the same year of my birth. Why the reporting agency did not cross reference their information with a social security number is beyond me.

I took a copy of the report to the leasing agent at the apartment and showed her the information. It was obvious from the photos of the felon, that I was not that person. Still, I was not approved until I could work with the reporting agency to resolve the issues in the report.

Have any of you Hoggers had a similar experience?

Had something similar. Seems there is man with the same name, born in the same state and on the same day and year as me but at a different hospital. He was a convicted felon and serving time in California. Since this was entrance to a state facility and I protested his SS number would be different and I was standing in front of them on the eastern side of the US we must be different people.. They checked and he had not escaped, had a different SS number but was of the same height, approx weight and hair color. After checking finger prints I was approved but by then it was so late had go back the next day.

Thanks good suggestion, checked it's open, I'am looking for out door places mostly


There are some good outdoor places in WV. Someone mentioned little towns. There are historical town IS Cass. It was a logging town and now is part of a state park. There are many scienic drives through the mountains. Check for weather reports because snow impacts many of them. Some ideas. Just a small portion. https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/west-virginia/woolly-adelgid-wv/

And a fake bird. Amazing what you get into when you can't sleep. I had a little company too.
