Well, yeah. Sure it’s important to keep your gun clean and make sure you don’t have a misfire, but you gotta have a good training to know when to use your weapon and when not to use it. Because, the important thing to remember is if you have a bad shoot, you’re gonna end up in prison.

A little more than that, and it will be brought up in the training.
The recreational use of sporting firearms is seldom mentioned, another freedom we must not allow to be taken.
In our Hunters Safety classes it is mentioned every boy or girl has a 3 year old, and a 30 year old inside, the more 30 year old mom and dad see, the more activities like the shooting sports they get to do, the more 3 year old they see, the fewer of these activities.
In our area the Hunter's Safety permit is kind of a right of passage, and when a young man wants something, the ears open up.

Pretty much true.
A responsible person will not resort to lethal force unless it is absolutely necessary. That decision should have been made long before the altercation. Each person needs to have decided what HIS/HER line in the sand is, and act accordingly. After the altercation, the main thing is to be able to convince/prove to everyone concerned that you were absolutely justified in doing what you did. Sometimes that's in court, many times it's only in the police station.
In our society, sadly, even if you are completely justified and exonerated by the legal authorities, you will still end up in court with hand-wringing family members looking for a payout.... "my little (Johnny/Rufus/Miguel fill in the blank) would never have hurt anyone..."
Nearly every violent encounter is by surprise when the victims are off guard. It really helps when you rehearse mentally and train physically for multiple possibilities. This is what distinguished my classes from others in my region. We'd learn of a local incident and trends. Then we'd respond to what if scenarios in class until under pressure. That gradual training led to competence in the students as they went outside and were tested by life.
I watched this Paul Harrell test with a Glock 40S&W vs. 45ACP.
We see a comparison of apples and apples. He presents it fairly and I find his ballistic gelatin test especially educational. Your comment came to mind about your preference for the 45 over the smaller caliber handgun rounds. This was the big debate when manufacturers started making double stack mags. I'm not getting into that debate pro or con in this post, but Harrell's tests seem relevant to me.
Paul Harrell had one of my favorite channels on this subject. I always came away learning something.
Not gun related, more guy related. These videos of industrial accidents interest me as safety is a big deal in our manly activities and sports.
This looked to me to be a cable break with the overhead crane?
I wonder if a miracle happened and it sat sown to where it is not damaged?

Here is another one, Combines usually run about 4 weeks out of the year, and harvest is something that can't be put off too long.
Lots of pressure on the people repairing and I see several references to newer models "having increased frame strength"? Seems a way acknowledge design fault?

Yep, agreed. I don't watch too many gun videos on youtube because a lot of them are made by kids that bought a cheap gun then make a video about it and call it bunk. Paul Harrell was one that I watch, and Scootch makes good videos.
I miss the gun writers, Massad Ayoob, Elmer Keith, and later Brian Enos. Bill Wilson... The good ol' days.
Amen! The foundation of our sport!

Got to run a couple of them over my working career, got pretty good at it.
The new one was made in 1915, the old one was made in 1913.
The first 3 or so speeds the resistors were burned out, had to bounce them up to 4 and more to get movement and then feather them down. Had a lot of fun

Massad Ayoob does gun videos... he's a part of the Wilson Combat channel.... he's a good one.... he's definitely "seen the elephant"....
As far as gun writers go... I grew up reading Skeeter Skelton, Nonte, Bill Jordan, etc....
I just upped my number of .22 rimfire handguns... found this one at too good of a price, so it followed me home.
Smith and Wesson M&P .22 Compact version. It has a threaded barrel, so the Sparrow will work with it... once I get the little adapter for it... it looks as if it will be an accurate little thing... and is a joy to shoot. It feels a lot like my Shields, so learning the ergos of it has been quick and easy....

Congratulations on the new "family" member !
Hope you get a "bang" out of it.
Thank you for the report.
I'm still keeping an eye out for a Ruger Bearcat.

actually, with the Sparrow on it, all I'll get is a "ffuh-click/click" .... the action cycling is the loudest part of that trigger pull...
