Crossing State lines w/ my pistol

[nortatoga]

All of my pistols are 9mm, I’ve been needing and meaning to get a .45 or something similar for the past year or so… seems like the 9 will basically be carrying a rock and you throw the rock and say “please stop” haha

9mm you say....

I'll bet there's been as many put in the Hospital as put in the ground by the 9mm as most pistol shots are a crap shoot at best...sometimes you get lucky, other times it's snake eyes.

Yup, planned on carrying both the 9 banger and some bear spray!

Your "9" will only make the bear more angry.

Don't trust your apple maps *that* much...

It may be "boomer advice" to double check the navigation before a long trip, but that doesn't mean they're not right.

The wife and I just had this argument driving to Virginia and back. She loves her Apple Play and I'd rather use Google maps. Her way put me in fucking traffic jams both ways.

One other thing. The president you hate is the only president in my lifetime that has uttered the words "National Reciprocity".

She just wanted to spend more time with you

If I had a motorcycle in tow I would've left skid marks.

Shot placement matters more than anything.

A hit with a .22lr is better than a miss with a .50bmg

A 9mm through the eye socket can take down a grizzly, but a .300 win mag to the shoulder (from the front) might not stop it.


OfC, caliber does matter, that 300 win mag is a lot more forgiving of poor placement than the 9mm.

I personally know someone that killed in self defense, a possibly record sized Black Bear using a 12 gauge Mossberg Persuader loaded with #8 "Cove & Quail" Loads...Several years back (in NY?) there was a Homeowner that killed a Black Bear using a .22 Rifle, so certainly it can be done, but I don't recommend it or being converted to Bear shit.
Gabe Suarez, a man that HAS BEEN in several gun fights said the only "one shot stop" he ever saw was from a 9mm directly into the chest. now that doesn't make the nine a superior cartridge despite it's century plus popularity.
I couldn't find the original interview (it's been a lot of years back) but I did find an excellent read from him on barfcom: Another good read by Gabe Suarez- caliber and capacity choice > Georgia > AR15.COM
