I have a passion and respect for firearms. Due to that, in my lifetime, I have come across some pretty impressive pieces: Glock (several calibers), Bullpup Shotgun, HK 45 USP Tactical, 300 Blackout AR pistol, S&W .44 Magnum, Kimber Scorpion 1911, IWI Tavor and a Mosin Nagant Sporter, to name a few :) Curious as to how? My husband is ex Military. Army. I use the work EX loosely here because you're never really out. I also have family who hunt and love steel. My husband and I have shared in our admiration for guns for almost 13 years, but he more than I. Understandably. He has his concealed carry and I currently do not. He currently carries a sweet piece that he customized with a grip and his holster is amazing. It's a Zacchaeus.
Since I currently do not have a concealed carry, Hubbs decided to get me a Kimber PepperBlaster II, grey. It's pretty dope! He even bought a holster for me :) The Kimber PepperBlaster II has the same revolutionary non-aerosol pyrotechnic delivery system as the original PepperBlaster, plus an ergonomic grip and sights for increased accuracy. A superior ingredient formulation combines a powerful solution of 10% OC (2.4% capsaicinoid content) with benzyl alcohol for viscosity. Delivery speed of 112 MPH keeps blasts on target, reducing the risk of blowback or drift. At just 4.2 ounces, PepperBlaster II is state-of-the-art protection. This thing is highly effective! Why do people carry? There are many answers to that question. Equally high in number are the types people decide to carry. I carry pepper spray for self defense. Self defense is defined as the deliberate use of physical force for protecting yourself or loved ones from physical harm. It's a subject that just about everyone considers at some point in their lives. Pepper spray is a very effective tool for evading attackers of any sort, no matter their motives. Arming yourself with a self defense device like pepper spray is an easy, inexpensive, and effective way to stop yourself from being harmed. I carry my spray on a belt beneath my coat. Experiment until you can quickly draw the spray, raise it up, and shoot it in one fluid motion. It's also very important to mentally rehearse exactly what to do in case you need to use the spray. Practice against an imaginary assailant until you're comfortable with your ability to use the spray fast and effectively.

For the past 2 weeks I've been reading the (print) newspaper and I must say, I like it! There's something about sitting at the table with a newspaper in hand, sipping coffee. Or wine, depending on the time of day :) I didn't always feel that way. A few years back I considered acquiring a newspaper subscription but talked myself out of it. I thought, self, will you REALLY read the paper? When will you read the paper? In the morning before work? Ha! After work? Ha! When the kids go to sleep? Maybe. After days of this, I decided to wait awhile. Awhile turned into something like 5 years! One very windy, cold day someone knocked on my front door. While walking to the door, thinking about who it may be, a Seattle Times newspaper salesman never came to mind. He smelt of strong liquor and cigarettes. We chatted for some time resulting in my agreement to start a subscription. The next day as I was leaving for work, I noticed a newspaper near my front door. I was uber excited! Receiving the paper that way is so fun to me! I kicked it closer to my door and continued to my car. When I arrived at home later that day, I was very excited to read the paper. I sat on my couch, kicked my feet up, turned the paper to the sports section and read til my heart's content. I read a little bit of everything. The kids even joined in. I don't read the paper daily. It's more like every other day. I think everyone should at least try a newspaper subscription. If it's not for you, cancelling is super easy. Here's some statistics:
