Not having read this thread, I showed up there this AM to find no vehicles parked along the road. "Hot dog! We have the place to ourselves!"
And then we saw the signs. And they have been very generous with putting them up!

One thing that strikes me about this image is the Stennis Highway is in the impact zone for rounds that go over the berm. Looks like it may be a mile or less away. We may want to avoid that happening.

This is a very interesting subject and I hope others weigh in with comments.
I am no expert but here are my thoughts: I have my doubts about this advice. Is dropping to the ground the best response? This sounds limiting (I only heard one option offered) and makes her a stationary target once...
No way would I wear flip-flops in that water with all that shot-up metal and glass.
BTW, went there today (5 Oct) and water had gone down some, enough to get around it on the right side.

Man you ain't kidding! I once saw a series of photos of a guy who did the thumbs forward hold so many use on autos, and the thumb got out past the front end of the cylinder - nearly flame-cut the end of his thumb off! Nasty looking wound!

Went to the BZ for the first time today. Since it was the first nice weekend day in a while I expected lots of company. Zip, zero, nada for the first couple of hours, and then one person showed up as we were finishing up.
It was flooded somewhat, mostly at midrange, and too deep for my low...
I checked .45, because it is my favorite, and that is usually a Kimber Compact or full size Colt. However, during the summer, I carry my S&W 642 with +P more often because I can slip it into my pocket.

What does it have to do with the election? If BHO loses, and I think he will, the dems WILL scream stolen election just like they did for the last two, and that will make the situation much worse than it should be. If he wins I am afraid of what some blooming idiot might do, and that will make...
Maybe it is coincidence, but I keep hearing and reading about these confrontations lately and always involving blacks. We have had 3 in the New Orleans area involving cops recently. I had one person chase me down and chew me out, because he was convinced I cut him off - and he had his kid in the...
I am one month away from 64 and wear contacts for distance and readers for close work. I really also need a middle correction, which is where my sights fall, thus they tend to be hard to pick up. I was a firm believer in black sights only and that is what was on my 1911s. I have since discovered...
Homeland Security has identified churches as potential targets. Furthermore, there are increasing incidents of "active shooters" in churches. As a result our small church has established a church security team to address a multitude of security and safety issues. BUT, Louisiana CHP law does not...
Run a few hundred rounds through that short barrel 1911 before trusting your life on it. The shorter the barrel the more peculiar they become. The system works best with the 5". A 4" is pretty safe. They can be very reliable in the shorter lengths but it may take some tuning and break-in to get...
In principle I am very much in favor of this, but two things strike me.
1) States are working out agreements on reciprocity. Most of the states that have CHP recognize the LA license. Some states have very loose requirements and others rather strict. This difference is sometimes a deal...
