What Type Of Pistol Would Be The Best To Get For Home Safety?

Filed in The Category Home Safety

That is not a simple question and there is no simple answer. A personal firearm is a very personal item indeed. It has to fit in with your lifestyle, your clothing, your physical build, your local laws and its intended use. There is no one best answer for everyone.
My advice is to treat this as you would any major purchase. Do your homework. Research what’s available. After you’ve done that, go to a shooting range that rents guns (probably an indoor range) and try out the ones you think might work for you to see what fits you best. Keep in mind that the fact that someone is standing behind the counter at a gun store does not necessarily mean they know anything about guns or their use. Some of them will be very knowledgeable and helpful. A few will cheerfully spout utter nonsense. All of them are salespersons. That’s one reason you have to do your homework.
That said, here’s some guidelines:
Stay away from off brands and cheap junk. If you’re a beginner, buy new from a reputable dealer. A good quality firearm, properly maintained and cared for, will last a lifetime, so amortize the price over a few decades to reduce sticker shock. Remember, you’re going to bet your life on this gun. The middle of a gun fight is a bad place to realize you should have spent the extra hundred dollars or so.
The minimum defensive caliber for semiautomatics is 9×19mm, aka 9mm Parabellum, aka 9mm Luger, aka 9mm NATO. (If you have a physical limitation that makes 9×19mm too much to handle, 9×17mm, aka .380, may have to do, but certainly nothing less.) The minimum for revolvers is .38 Special. Anything over .45 ACP for semiautos or .357 Magnum for revolvers will likely overpenetrate the target, wasting some of its energy and endangering who or what is beyond, so they’re not recommended.
These days I recommend against revolvers for defensive purposes. Their capacity is too restricted and they’re too slow to reload. It’s true that revolvers have fewer stoppage modes than semiautos. However, most semiauto stoppages can be cleared in a matter of seconds with a little training. When a revolver jams, it’s out of the fight and may require a gunsmith to get it going again.
When in doubt, you generally won’t go far wrong with a Glock, but some people just don’t like them. Nearly all ranges that rent guns rent Glocks, so it’s easy to find out if you get along with them.
Tritium night sights are worth the extra expense. Most other bells and whistles aren’t.
Re: Accessories:
Yes, you’re going to need some.
You need eye and ear protection for practice at the range. A baseball style cap is also recommended.
You need a safe, secure place to store your gun when necessary. There are many options for quick access lock boxes and gun safes. (Caution: Guns left alone in safes have been known to breed and multiply.) Beware of trigger locks. They are accidents waiting to happen and do nothing to prevent theft. There are few things more embarrassing than going to your local police station to report a stolen gun. One of those things is coming home to find someone pointing your gun at you.
You need a cleaning kit. There are many on the market and they all pretty much work. Follow the instructions that come with them for gun cleaning and maintenance.
You’ll need a holster. Sooner or later, there will come a time when you want to have your gun with you for a while. The middle of a riot or natural disaster is a bad time to go shopping for holsters.
A holster should be designed to fit your make and model of gun. Its mouth should be stiff enough to remain open when the gun is drawn in order to facilitate safe reholstering. It needs to hold the gun and itself firmly in place, so it will be where you expect it to be when you reach for it. Military style cover flaps are counterproductive. Thumb break straps will slow you down. A good quality concealed carry rig can cost $50-100. A simple Kydex or other plastic paddle holster will be much less, but won’t be as stealthy.
For semiautos, you’ll need a spare magazine carrier or two. The doubles are often uncomfortable to wear and some point one magazine in the wrong direction. For revolvers, you need speed loaders and carriers for them.
Above all, get training in safe gun handling and defensive use of firearms. That is absolutely critical. Without training, you’re kidding yourself and endangering those around you. Don’t let it slide.

PARENTING TIPS!

Being a parent is one tough job. Full of many rewards, beautiful moments, great sharing, laughs and love. But the reality of raising children today is that parents become overwhelmed, exhausted and stressed. In the absence of the owner’s manual, there are many wonderful sources of parenting hints. Family, friends, books, videos, and websites are just a few of the valuable resources available to today’s parents. Here are some helpful hints geared to specific age groups. Infants

Newborns feel more secure if they are swaddled firmly in a blanket, as this sensation closely mimics the feeling inside the womb. If you have a fussy newborn, wrapping them firmly with their arms inside the blanket may help to soothe them when you aren’t holding them.
Dress your infant in layers so you are better able to regulate his temperature. Infants need the same amount of clothing as you do in most environments; or at most, one layer more. So, if you are wearing a sleeveless shirt and shorts, there is no need to dress your infant in a onesie, sweatshirt, and jacket.

Toddlers/Preschoolers

Don’t be too strict about your child’s clothing matching perfectly. At this age, children are beginning to express their individuality and they love to put all sorts of wacky combinations together. To you, it looks like their closet exploded all over them, but to them, they are a work of art! As long as it isn’t family picture day, try to be flexible in allowing them to choose their own clothing combinations.
Bedtime can be quite an ordeal at this age. Children may be afraid of the dark or of monsters or of being alone. A consistent routine can help keep the fears from getting out of hand. A warm bath, teeth brushing, and pajamas followed by a story, prayers, hugs, kisses, and snuggles can help. If darkness is the fear, try letting the child choose his own nightlight. If monsters are the culprit, make it a point to check the closets and under the bed. Parents have also successfully used a special air freshener as a “monster repellent.” The key is to be sensitive. These fears are very real to a child.

Elementary/Middle Schoolers

To help calm the harried morning rush out the door, a little organization the night before can go a long way. Before bedtime, be sure all homework is returned to your child’s backpack as well as any lunch money, notes for the teacher, permission slips, etc. Place these in a convenient place near the door. Keep boots, mittens, hats, scarves, and other accessories near the coats so they are ready to go as well. Make lunches the night before and keep them in the refrigerator; ready to grab in the morning. Help your child lay out clothing for the next day so there is no last minute scramble in the morning to find those perfect zip-off wind pants. Some families even put together outfits for the entire week. Leaving the house in a calm and peaceful manner puts a great spin on the day!
Children have their own internal clocks. It is entirely possible for two early bird parents to give birth to a night owl. Some children can be put to bed at what parents believe is a reasonable hour for their child’s age, but the child still cannot fall asleep for hours. The child isn’t misbehaving, his body truly isn’t ready to fall asleep yet. If you have a young night owl, experiment with pushing bedtime back an hour or so or even allowing the child to read quietly with a small book light before falling asleep. It may help make bedtime a little easier!

Teenagers

At this age, peer pressure is at its peak. The guy who never cared what he wore before suddenly insists on $120 basketball shoes. The girl who would shop anywhere now insists on designer labels. Some parents have had wonderful success teaching the value of a dollar, budgeting, and other valuable lessons by using a clothing budget. Each child is given a certain amount of money for his clothing budget. Say you decide on $300 for the entire school year. This means your daughter can go out the first day of school and spend all $300 or she can buy something here or there throughout the year; either way she only has $300 from September through June. It can be a very difficult lesson for her to spend that entire $300 on one sweater, a pair of shoes, and two purses in the Fall and then have nothing left when Spring arrives to buy sandals and a new dress. But, the clothing budget is a great way to teach young adults that money doesn’t grow on trees!

Why Is It Only Women Are Allowed At Baby Showers?

Filed in The Category Baby Showers

My friend and his girlfriend are going to have a child in a couple of months. I am going to give her a dozen of clothe diapers for a gift. She said that she was not going to use disposable diapers on her offspring. So I took that as the idea of what to get her. Indian cotton clothe diapers. But my question is, why is it only women are allowed at baby showers? I know most men would not even want to go, but most does not mean all. Is it because women talk a bunch of crap about us when we are not there and they will be in a a large pack. So who knows? But it’s not like they don’t do that anyways. So, why are men not allowed at baby showers?
