      Gun Purse Sites?

      I do purse carry. Sometimes it is just the best option when the alternative is that or not at all. Right now I am using a purse with a center zippered compartment with a pocket holster inside. I agree on the point that there are alot of big, ugly gun purses out there. I don't love purses to...

      I did it by myself.

      You go girl!:rockwoot:I don't know about you, but I love the feeling of being able to care for myself. I have always lived by my mother's mantra, "If you want something done do it yourself". As a result of this, I have done many unusual things. One such escapade was to rent a jackhammer...

      CANNING DEER MEAT

      I know the recommended shelf-life of home canned food is one year or less, but I would not be afraid to eat food after three years. Even food canned less than one year can be unsafe to eat. Just use common sense, check jar for leakage, unusual odors or colors, or mold. Make sure the jar is...

      CANNING DEER MEAT

      I have been canning venison for years. I always take any meat I can to 15# pressure, then cook for 45 minutes. For venison: press cubed venison into jars, add salt (onion too if you like), add boiling water to jar rim. Don't forget to release any air bubbles in jar. Put on lid, and place in...

      Gun for the wife

      Definitely, let her choose! I have a Taurus .380 - small and easy to conceal, but snappy to shoot and takes practice to rack the slide because it is so short. My preference is an SR9C - more difficult to conceal as I am small, but nicer to shoot, cheaper to shoot, and more stopping power. I...

      Weight Loss and Health to Survive

      Can I interrupt the boy's fitness club? Just wanted to say what a great job you guys are doing!:yesway: It will pay future dividends. Getting healthier and in shape is always a good thing. Couple of things I have learned to aid in the fight. These are vital: 1. drink lots of water (and...

      When the girls are away...

      That is so awesome!:yesway: Take every advantage to spent time while he still wants to do things with you. My sons' father was too busy for them and now when he wants them to hunt with him they are NOT interested. It is a lonely and sad commentary. Fortunately, they will still shoot with...

      bought my mom her first gun today

      As a new shooter at 50 and a female, I highly recommend taking some classes. I took about 18 hours of classes for women only and it was time well spent.:): Since there were only three women, the individual attention was awesome. I had fun and learned alot, too. I was especially pleased with...

      Help me out Ladies

      OK Ladies, I did it! Yesterday, I purchased a Ruger SR9c. I love it!:D I've put 80 rounds through it so far. Thanks everyone for the advice and insight. I had a good time shopping. Already looking at the next purchase - that nice little Walther P22. Seems like that would be fun.

      Wife needs a gun, What to buy?

      I would say don't give up on the semi-autos too soon. When I first got my Taurus .380, I had difficulty racking the slide, but I just wanted to prove that I could do it. (Didn't want my men to say a woman couldn't do that.) My suggestion is talk to other women- how do they do it. Try some of...

      Public School Bans Lunches From Home

      This kind of 'stuff' is happening everywhere to some degree. While I agree in theory with the idea that kids in general need more nutritionally sound diets, I completely disagree with Food Police patrolling the cafeteria. This is more about our individual freedoms.

      Help me out Ladies

      Thanks for your input. I do have a 22 already, which I love to shoot with my boys. Am thinking of a 9mm I could either shoot at the range or carry. I am just interested in hearing what other women like to shoot and why. Last weekend, at the range I used a Glock 19. I really enjoyed...

      Help me out Ladies

      I have a Taurus .380 that I carry. I love the size and concealability.:): However, I am looking for something I can shoot more economically. Am looking for some suggestions from you on what you like and why. I am taking a class right now and have been shooting everything the range has. What...

      Hello from PA

      Thanks for the additional info. I have read every word on Cornered Cat, but was unfamiliar with Limatunes' Range Diary. Have also checked out the useful websites page as well. Good Stuff!:D That's why I'm here. Can't say thanks enough. Not alot of female shooters in my area (or at least...
