Post what you are thinking at this very moment

Mask mandate went into effect in my county this past Wednesday morning (and actually it's in effect for, I believe, all the counties in Denver metro now. Stopped at the store on the way home and ignored it, and stopped at several different stores over the course of the 4 day weekend and ignored it. No one ever said anything and it varied from about 50% to 75% (depending on the store) as to how many people were actually wearing a mask. It's good to see that a portion of people are absolutely over it.

I did get the side eye from the virtue signalers when I was in the store, but other than that, no one said a thing.

I watched a bunch of videos of people confronting and attacking non mask wearers over the weekend. Physical fights. People are fucking crazy.

I figured that if anyone was going to say something, it would be some random asshole and not a store employee. But there were enough maskless people that they would have had to confront a lot of people.

Wife wants to get herself a handgun since the two pistols we have at home are kind of large for her hands. Went to Cabela's and the dude we talked to was AWESOME. He took his time and didn't talk down to my wife who has limited knowledge of firearms and took his time explaining everything and answering her questions about everything. Showed us the above gun (it's a Smith & Wesson) and it was a slick little pistol. Holds 8 rounds and is chambered in either .380 auto or 9mm (I told the sales guy I would prefer nothing smaller than 9mm though for her to have for defense...the one they had at Cabela's was 9mm). He even told us that if we went online and bought the gun that way, for $100 more it comes with a nice tactical bag and FIVE magazines. Really happy with the customer service we got. He also told us about an indoor range that wasn't too far from us where they have a huge variety of guns that can be rented and fired so that she can get a feel of what she would be getting before she buys. Plus the guys that work there will help her with posture and stance and everything, so that will probably be our next stop in the near future.

When my wife said she wanted to get her concealed carry, I quit taking her shooting and enrolled her into training classes at a local indoor range. I figured she would be much better off getting lessons from the people who would be issuing her permit.

So did you buy it? Or waiting to shoot a few?

I still haven't shot my Sig P365, I did add a laser to it that's activated when you grip the gun, it's awesome that you don't have to think to hit a button, just squeeze the handle tight as if you were ready to fire and the beam comes on.

I will definitely let the instructors at the range help her.

We haven't bought yet, going to wait until we get the range.

Is it more for home defense? Or is she thinking about a carry gun?

I know it's for your wife, so my experience might not be the same as hers, but I have a first gen M&P9c (compact, the shields are subcompacts) that has that same exact thumb safety on it, and it kinda gets on my nerves from time to time. It just gets in the way on occasion. Your wife might feel differently about it.

[Griffin]

The safety placement is an issue for people that already have muscle memory in their grip. For someone that is fairly new to firearms the safety becomes part of their grip.

Both, she would like to get her concealed carry eventually.

Oh Christ. She's running again.

And no lie, I totally thought Omicron was the name of a Transformer too. And no, I wasn't thinking of Unicron.

Oh Christ. She's running again.
