      Shooting in New Orleans.

      NOLA used to be a great place for a day or evening out but the only time I go that way anymore is to the airport on the rare occasion that I need to bring or pick someone up. I cringe every time my adult sons say they are going to some type of event in the city, especially since one of them is...

      Where to go from here

      Thanks Blaize! I will take you up on that one of these Sunday’s coming. It’s always nice to find a welcoming group and I pick up new skills each time I go. Living on property where I am able to shoot is advantageous but nothing compares to learning new things from more experienced folks.

      Where to go from here

      I will definitely check that out. Interstate Guns is about 10 minutes from my house but oddly enough I have never stopped in. Is the Wong’s range the one next to the Renaissance festival site? I didn’t realize they owned a range. I lived right next door to the Wong family (Trey Yuen owners) when...

      Where to go from here

      Thanks for the recommendations and link. I will definitely be taking that women’s only class.

      Where to go from here

      Okay, so I have my CHP, attended my first AG&AG girl’s night out (held monthly and I had an awesome time) and I practice at home as well with pistol, shotgun and rifle. What classes near Hammond/Baton Rouge do you recommend next? I have looked on the NRA website and the choices are overwhelming...

      The average CCW issue time?

      Class on 6-10, applied online 6-12 with all but divorce papers, fingerprints and turn in divorce papers on 6-21, application accepted email on 6-22, paid 6-22, approved 7-2, received permit 7-7. It would have gone much faster if I had not had to delay fingerprints and divorce papers due to my...

      Officer denied food in St.francisville

      Sorry, I misread the article. It says he *demanded a retraction.* I don’t think he was in any position to demand a retraction when he should have simply apologized. Demanding the story be retracted is as good as saying that it didn’t happen to the officers, at least in my book. Apologizing with...

      Bread maker recipes anyone?

      If you have a good recipe for a sweet cake-type bread, I would love to try it. This time of the year I usually have an abundance of figs and blueberries. It’s too hot to bake in the oven!

      Officer denied food in St.francisville

      Regardless of whether the officers were targeted because of their profession or just because they happened to be the next in line for these immature food service workers to harass, it seems to me that the owner of the franchise is now forced to clean up his act or risk losing his franchise...

      Mom shoots knife wielding man

      https://fxn.ws/2MqZesi My first question is why a 14 year old was allowed to chat online with this predator. I monitored my kids’ online activities at that age. But thankfully the mother was armed and not afraid to use it to protect herself and her family. This was one determined criminal!

      Recommendations needed for newbie female shooter

      A cat wouldn’t last two minutes outside with my two very large German Shepherds. They only just barely tolerate the cat that lives inside the house with them.

      It is infrared night vision that displays on a screen (also great in the daytime with just the screen). I can definitely hit the target more consistently using the screen.

      Recommendations needed for newbie female shooter

      I will continue researching for more options since there is always someone striving to build a better mousetrap. In the past 4 months I have used 3 different types/styles of snap traps, sticky traps, a live trap, an electronic trap, and a bucket trap. Seems once I get one or two by those...

      Recommendations needed for newbie female shooter

      All great suggestions that I appreciate! LaBelle, the firearms bug has hit and one of my next purchases will be a .22 revolver. I went and put my hands on a few rifles and ended up with a Ruger 10/22 semi LR with stainless barrel and synthetic stock. With the addition of a scope and night vision...

      Recommendations needed for newbie female shooter

      I should have included the guns that we do have here, all of which are too heavy for me to deal with for more than a few shots from a standing or sitting position without some type of support. We do have an old .410 which I would be able to use for snakes since one shot will usually do the...

      Recommendations needed for newbie female shooter

      I have been reading article after article online and the choices are confusing and overwhelming so I am reaching out to the experienced rifle owners to help me narrow down my choices. I am a middle aged female with neck issues (read poor upper body strength when practicing for extended periods)...
