Praying for Linda.
We just bought our first rifle. It was a gift "we" bought for Mark's birthday present. I guse that's the way it goes when money is short. Buy the gift together. (I got mulch for my birthday) I do like surprise gifts but any gift is better than no gift. So the rifle: BEAUTIFUL machine! Laminated wood handle with hand grip carved out so smoothly. 22mag. They guarenteed it would take care of the coyote problems we have. Mark has nevcer shot and will only use it for practice shooting. He is truely and Angel on earth and cannot kill anything. I do the culling and just once asked him to assist in putting a deformed chick out of it's misery since it was too small for me to do without risk of injuring my hand and I thought he ws going to pass out. So after we clean it and get aquaited with it and I have him do some practice shots, I'm off to hunt. I used to target shoot before and have experience in weapons of all sorts but he doesn't so I want him comfortable with it.
For my birthday, in July if my body doesn't again ask for medical treatment of some sort and we can't afford it, I want handgun called "THE JUDGE". Perfect home defense weapon. You can load buckshot in the first round and the next rounds can hold 45 caliper triple slugs. Stuns and pushes back on the first round, stops and disables with the next rounds. The rounds drop within a few hundred feet so if you miss, they won't carry off your property and accidentally hurt/injur what you wouldn't want to.
Our farm is so far out that air horns cannot be heard by our neighbors - let alone a scream for help. I called 911 2 weeks ago and got into an argument with the operator - she said we didn't exist. I begged to be put through to our county police department but she refused. I finally grabbed a knife and went out to protect my husband and property myself - gratefully it was some friends who were using another vehicle and were dumping wood on our burnpile. The police never came and the 911 operator never called back to see if I was OK. If it had been something bad i would not have been missed for 2 days.
Gotta protect your own when you're too far out.
