My Grandfather owned the family business (Construction), so we had a different view point. If you want to work for an Union, knock yourself out. Don't make me work for one. <br /><br />Maggie, I have my CCL. I shoot one-handed. Took my test with my 22. I sold that for a 38, pink mind you. The 22 would miss shots - not good. My husband bought me a 2 shot Derringer (a 22). Had a mean kick back, sold that also. With you, I go for an automatic. Shooting is great fun.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14021833439418573477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-80247080931030324932011-08-23T22:34:27.303-04:002011-08-23T22:34:27.303-04:00It seems curious that Mr Szollosi is more concerne...It seems curious that Mr Szollosi is more concerned with someone firing off phone calls and emails than bullets; but perhaps he is less concerned for the safety of those who aren't his constituents than he is for his contributors and supporters.<br /><br />Perhaps instead however, he simply has no sympathy for those who bring a keyboard or a telephone to a gun fight.Timothy W Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118861693269565715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-36045842731148163052011-08-23T11:14:00.160-04:002011-08-23T11:14:00.160-04:00The Blade always plays itsself off as being pro-un...The Blade always plays itsself off as being pro-union....unless of course they happen to be union employees of the blade!<br /><br />A 70k reward will be tempting in this economy for anyone the shooter opened his mouth to about it.<br /><br />Maggie, if you're looking into pistols, there are 3 I usually recommend for new female shooters.<br /><br />A S&W model 6906 is a 9mm made for female hands, very light recoil, decent stopping power, easy to use safety features and concealable.<br /><br />An FN model five-seven, light, powerfull without a lot of recoil but, a bit higher on the price scale.<br /><br />The new kel-tec PMR-30 is light, easy to handle, almost zero recoil at all (it fires a .22 magnum round) and, it holds 30 rounds in the magazine...it's not a 1 shot stopper but, it has 29 more rounds after the first one which will cause anyone to seriously reconsider robbing someone else.-Sepphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11187463448901564093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-6646153440091066062011-08-23T10:02:36.606-04:002011-08-23T10:02:36.606-04:00Mad Jack - I so want the unions to take a stand ag...Mad Jack - I so want the unions to take a stand against violence, when committed by their own members or others. That's just the right thing to do...but alas, I fear you are more correct in your assessment than anyone really wants to admit.<br /><br />My lessons are going well. I'm trying out various handguns so I know what kind works best for me and my grip. I'll then purchase one and take more lessons so I can become proficient in its use. :)Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677808307727487766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-90487282561123361612011-08-23T09:28:11.975-04:002011-08-23T09:28:11.975-04:00In the bad old days I'd have expected Lisa Ren...In the bad old days I'd have expected Lisa Renee to cover this one at the Glass City Jungle. Thanks for writing about this.<br /><br />Vandalism, disturbances and threats are accepted by a large portion of society as normal union activity. Shooting someone as they are walking out the front door of their own home is tacitly approved by the union and by the commercial news media. See how far we've come? Is not <i>The Anointed One</i> proud of us?<br /><br />What do you suppose the coverage would be like if the homeowner returned fire and produced a useful union member?<br /><br />And, by the way, how are your shooting lessons coming along?Mad Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190137186843630543noreply@blogger.com
