    Need some suggestions for trip to eastern/NE Ohio

    I've never been to the Warver museum but I've heard its cool. Lehmans is a place you would really appreciate Dan, lots of other things to do in Kidron and the surrounding Amish communities but yes closed down on sundays. If you're going across 70 and will be near Zanesville the John Glenn...

    HS & MS football journal

    My oldest opted out of football this year. High School is restarting their boys soccer program, soccer was his first love and he only gave it up because the high school didn't have a program. His heart has never been in american football, it was just a placeholder for his other two sports.

    Random weather thread

    I was up in Cuyahoga heights last night for Track. I have rarely if ever been in such a miserable conditions this late in the season. They actually stopped the meet and will continue on Friday. Friday is looking cold for late may and windy. Oh joy.

    Damned raccoons

    I bought a bunch of white pines to make a visual break in the one property line. They dug them up so many times it killed them. So dog proof coon traps and high speed lead injection have thinned them down (during trapping season of course) I find them more effective than the live traps...

    home pistol question

    22LR is a very versatile caliber but it has a large limitation in being rimfire. Unless you're spending $$ on ammo it's a little finicky imo. Similar in recoil but more powerful and more reliable in not being rimfire is 22mag. The keltec pmr is a great option as 30 rounds of 22 mag isn't...

    home pistol question

    So you'll keep a loaded chamber with a revolver but not a semi auto? Because of what they've been told and taught? How is that safer?.....(it's not)

    home pistol question

    Why wouldn't you keep a round chambered? Remember the criminal chooses when to attack, we are already at a disadvantage with reaction vs action so why give them any further advantage with an empty chamber?

    home pistol question

    My handgun is next to the bed in a safe to allow quick access while maintaining safety. It has a light on it and allows me to fight my way to a more suitable option. My next three steps are battle belt (with a different pistol on it) complete with extra mags, blow out kit, and rifle mags...

    home pistol question

    Your information is quite dated. A few thoughts to further my above commentary. 1.) When was the last time you saw a SWAT team or other LEO tactical team going into a home armed with shotguns? They have to account for EVERY round fired. 2.) When our soldiers are clearing buildings when...

    2025-26 Seasons passed wildlife council

    Is this based upon the same scientific approach they use to calculate deer herd numbers?

    Considering the history of Kimbers metallurgy - no thanks That's an opinion that can be refuted.

    home pistol question

    Opinions please. Current home defense pistola is p320 ‐ not happy with the increasing number of issues and trainers not allowing them on the line secondary to issues. Role - home defense (when long gun is not available/ needed) will live in a battle belt. Occasional to rare carry, range...
