I had a CT scan recently (as a follow up to make sure my pneumonia was completely gone) and the report said that I had "interval fractures of the 6th and 7th ribs". I've searched the web and found no mention of interval fractures. I don't know if it's a specific medical term or if it just...
After several years of being harassed by an ex-boyfriend, I finally filed for and was granted an order of protection, ex parte. He is paranoid and delusional. I live 100 miles away from him and he thinks that I am stalking him while driving a black jeep (I don't have a Jeep of any color). He...
Pardon my ignorance on this. After reading a recent news article about a house fire during which the firefights had to dodge bullets that were stored in the garage, I wondered about how bullets react in fire. Do they actually "fire" (the lead exits the brass) or do they explode sending...
I've had a couple of different hosters for my S&W .38 airweight but nothing seems to keep the butt of the weapon from flopping around. Any suggestions?
My beloved Golden Retriever, Toby, has been diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma of his spleen. It's a fast growning cancer and it spreads quickly. Surgery would not save his life. The vet says he probably only has a few weeks to a few months left. I'm trying to give him as much love and attention...

Went to the range with my new S&W 642 and YIKES!!! I almost had to use my feet and hands to pull the trigger. I swear it didn't seem that bad when dry firing.
I don't even want to carry it now because there's no way I could use it effectively in an emergency situation. My Colt Python has...
I OC'd this morning for the first time. Riding my bike on the Monon in Westfield at 06:30 seemed like a situation in which I wouldn't encounter lots of people and that proved to be true.
The first person I encountered overtook me and said as he passed, "Seriously? You're carrying a pistol...
Hello. I found this site quite by accident but it looks like just what I need. It would be great to learn from others who are more experienced than I am with handguns. Currently my only handgun is a .357 Colt Python. A friend showed me his .40 (don't know the make) and it looks like the...
