      Reliably unreliable?

      Best way to kill raccoons and opossums?

      I don't hate them in general, but I did have a running feud with a particular one at a WMA that broke into my gear and tried to eat my creamer. Getting between a man and his morning coffee is a bad idea. I tried very hard to murder it the next couple nights, but it seemed to know to beeline in...

      Best way to kill raccoons and opossums?

      Thanks for the the replies everyone. No I wasn't planning poison. Again, pets and kids in the neighborhood. I do have chickens, as does a neighbor (whose rooster keeps getting in my yard), but that's not been a concern. The neighbors' cats apparently picked a fight with it, and it's fought...

      Best way to kill raccoons and opossums?

      Have a raccoon and an opossum that terrorize the neighborhood (kids playing and neighbors have outdoor cats). Found the raccoon out in the open today and shot it with my crossbow, but only have mechanical heads and field points. Wanted to avoid shooting it with a firearm as I'm literally on the...

      Cancelled my USCCA membership today…

      I'd have to go back and check to confirm as I do a lot more commercial than residential claims, but from all the residential liability claims I've worked over the years I don't believe it's all that uncommon. In fact that language is the default in the HO-00-03-05-11-1, which many HO-3 policies...

      NOLA Wants to Exclude French Quarter From Concealed Carry Without Permit.

      How can you be so heartless?! Think of the children! How can anyone look at this image and NOT agree with Everytown that this is terrifying: Can you even imagine getting shot with an entire cartridge?!

      Cancelled my USCCA membership today…

      My biggest irritation with that guy was this video: Where he repeatedly lumped CCW Safe in with USCCA without doing any research, considering CCW Safe's language includes covering criminal trial defense costs regardless of a conviction, including appeals and retrials.

      Cancelled my USCCA membership today…

      Sorta kinda. It's also defined in policies as "Expected Or Intended Injury". But in an open perils policy there is generally a provision stating: Exclusion: "Bodily injury" or "property damage" which is expected or intended by an "insured", even if the resulting "bodily injury" or "property...

      Constitutional Carry Bill SB1 will be RS? (Now going to be the Law!)

      What are the new laws on this? For CCW we have an obligation to notify the officer we're carrying, so I'm assuming there is some provision in the bill that anyone conceal carrying without a license also has a duty to report? (haven't read it yet myself)

      Constitutional Carry Bill SB1 will be RS? (Now going to be the Law!)

      I don't think it's that. I think it's a combination of the opioid epidemic, crackdowns and arrests, profiling, resulting distrust of law enforcement, preponderance of felons and a general association of guns with gangbangers. The opioid epidemic wasn't all that long ago, an extremely large...

      Fishing Pole & Kit Recommendation

      This is EXACTLY the kind of thing I'm most confused about - what bait to use. There are just so many to choose from I'm completely lost!

      Fishing Pole & Kit Recommendation

      Wow lots to absorb here. Appreciate all the info, especially from you Bolt Head! Considering my ignorance, think I'll go with the higher-end suggestions from you, hopefully avoid beginner issues in the process while learning the ropes.

      Fishing Pole & Kit Recommendation

      Budget doesn't really matter, as long as I'm not throwing away money for no reason. If paying more gets me something better that will last longer or is capable of more, that's fine. I mean, I don't want to spend thousands of dollars just to fish, but anywhere between a few hundred and a thousand...

      Fishing Pole & Kit Recommendation

      Didn't fish much as a kid, and haven't at all as an adult up until this year. Got bored waiting for hunting season and decided to give it a try. Found out I absolutely love the peace and quiet of fishing. I've been using a friend's pole so far. I'm looking for recommendations on what pole I...
