I lost all mine in a boating accident....
But seriously..to all first-time owners out there. Get some basic firearms training from a reliable source. I realize ammo is a bit expensive and hard to come by right now. But work on being comfortable with your firearm(s) and competent with them. Waking up to breaking glass at 2am is not the time to be getting your firearm out for only the 2nd or 3rd time since you first purchased it...which in many cases was years ago.
To those against firearms that is your choice. But if you think PD will be there in time to save the day you need to think again. With the public outcry to defund PD..you'll have to wait for that counselor or social worker to show up and de-escalate the situation. Good luck with that.
I don't sit around everyday thinking about what might happen. Don't need to. Just like running earthquake drills, or fire drills, we go over HD drills. My family knows how to react if it's during the day and what to do if it's the middle of the night. It's called being prepared. (Much like watching people in the past few months running thru Costco, Sam's Club or the market, etc. for anything and everything they could get off the shelves. I walked in needing just a few things we use on a normal basis. Why? Because I was already prepared. I posted before about learning from my father-in-law's experiences during The Great Depression)
My kids all learn to shoot when they turn 10yrs old. One of my kids has only shot once and wasn't really interested in it. My G03 GK can run a pistol or an AR15. Doesn't really like the kick of a 12g but can manage it if need be. My youngest isn't old enough just yet, but he's around me enough when I'm cleaning or tinkering with stuff that he's already learning. You should see him run a plastic bb G19 replica and do a mag change.
I hope the day never comes that I have to shoot at something other than paper or a steel gong.
If it does, I'm resigned to the fact that the safety of my family comes first.

For all you 1911 owners. There's a small shop in Covina / Glendora. Exotic Pistol Grips. Donut shop closed down. These two guys took over. Nice people. They kept all the donut display cases/shelves and have a pretty good selection of custom 1911 and revolver grips. I'm not a 1911 guy personally so I couldn't tell you anything about prices/materials etc. I've only been in there for a PPT.
A few years ago I stopped by a pawn shop in Kingman AZ. There were at least 25 rifles and another 20 handguns for sale. Guess when times are lean, people looking to unload (no pun intended) firearms that haven’t been used in years.
My player occasionally adds to her collection of soccer balls- either favorite team, Bundesliga, US soccer. Then there are her handful of wall balls, asphalt shredders, dog bitten. Those are the ones she’d go to if a clutch pk is on the line.

Please tell me it isn't the Donut Man that closed. We used to make runs from Downtown to Glendora just to pick up a dozen or 2, cuz We like our donuts.

No. You're still gtg at the Donut Man. They are on Route 66. And the line never seems to be small there.
Exotic Pistol Grips is on Arrow Hwy.
But check out Rad Donuts on Grand Ave / Gladstone in Glendora. Slightly expensive but really good. Some really tasty creations there.
Maybe not at your house but there is soccer going on inside and outside our house!there is no soccer, so get over it!
Always will be! Our kids find a way.
