More food for thought. 72 hour rule.

Bianchi speed strip. 5 hollowpoints and 1 snake shot.

I would especially question the use of #1 Buckshot, or even 00. Just not enough weight there to get sufficient penetration on a big, thick bear.

70something in the class I attended Wednesday afternoon. Mostly Death by Power Point on 20 year old stuff.

Class is 4 hours total.

As long as initial NRA Pistol Cert is still active, you should still be good.

Yes, another instructor needs to qualify you with both semi and revolver.

No big rush on any of it for now - except getting scheduled into one of those 1/2 day classes.

Quote: Maybe the law in Indiana is less strict than Texas.

Very much so.

Quote: Or even a 9mm snubbie? Ruger LCR 9mm. Had one for a while but sold it at a loss. And told the buyer why. Due to light weight, great trigger and good 9mm velocity, I thought it was the perfect 5-holer. But bullet in the 5'th cartridge in chamber waaaaaaay too often jumped the crimp, sometimes ...

The Town of Copper Canyon (near our private range) consists of some areas you might want to consider. It is sandwiched between Highland Village and Lantana, now comprised of over 10,000 people in cookie cutter houses on those postage stamp lots. And yes, you would be dreaming on the drive time.

" I prefer a small town feel: grass, trees, and lot sizes larger than postage stamps. Maximum commute to Irving or Dallas 45 minutes with traffic. " That's just what we wanted too - and found it. In in Flower Mound. But that was well over 30 years ago. Such is a pretty tall order these days - unless...

It's going to take DPS a while to digest the changes and get their lesson plan put together. I'd suspect sometime in July may be the earliest they will email everyone an opportunity to sign up for one-day classes. From other threads here, it looks like they will not be doing their traveling salvatio...

"Or should one wait until DPS calls for them?"

Yes.

I had an older dove hunter in a hunter ed class around 10 years ago who had taken a hit from high brass 6s at 90 yards. One pellet went smooth through the web of one ear. 4 more pellets buried so deep in his neck and face that his wife, over a 2 1/2 day period, was unable to remove them with tweezer...

If "not injured", I have a hard time believing the felon even hit the cop.

At just 50 feet (about 17 yards) the pattern was likely less than 2 feet. And even birdshot on bare skin would certainly cause SOME injury.

With that said, birdshot IS for BIRDS.
