I just watched the movie saturday night, probably part of what is pushing my sudden interest Just got my Pur Scout in the mail today.

Being able to drive anywhere with a vehicle in that situation is not even a possibility. Your "we have to walk concept" is the one you have to plan for. If its just a matter of not being able to shop at the grocery store for a few days, thats no big deal except for the infirm.

LMAO!!!

I took the boy shooting today. The mossberg out of the box at 25 yards, hitting bullseyes with no adjustments! We went through a little over two hundred rounds, no jams, no sticks, one bad round. Two kids in the lane next to us were using a similar 22 with a scope shooting shotgun shells on the ground at 25 yards. I waited for him to miss one, I picked it off open sights...lol. His friend gave him a hard time about that one There is a reason I have an expert rifle medal on my uniform

That gun is worth its weight in gold. My neighbor brought a lot of guns out as well. He brought a couple of various make handguns, lots of WWII stuff. He also brought out some old school flint locks, a MAC10, AR15, an old AK that fires .410 slugs, very fun. The kids had a blast and learned a lot about gun safety as well.
