[RC] Lady's Gun - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Howard Bramhall howard9732@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I'm getting older, never was all that tough, in fact, the only thing manly about me at all is I can ride a horse. Truth is riding a horse in the South is more of a womanly thing anyway. So, when I started spending more and more time in the Hills of Tennessee, land of Appalachia Hillbilly and me, I started traveling armed. Didn't want to carry a loaded revolver but I did want something to take out an agressive dog or human. Heck, I can't even make a complete fist with my right hand due to a horse riding accident, so, nobody's gonna ever get me in a fist fight. Plus, I got a quick switch in my head, one good hit and I go unconscious; this happened to me several times while I attempted to run back punts for my high school football team. And, the switch has tripped on me a few times while attempting my flying backwards double sommersaulted dismount from my horse. Anyway, I suggest to all the wimmen, if you don't want to really mess with a gun (I know a fellow who has a hole in his leg cause he used to ride his lawnmower with a loaded revolver under the seat) is to get yourself some pepper spray or mace. Stuff works rather well, you can put it in your little fanny pack while traveling those dangerous, isolated trails, on your horse and it shoots as accurate and as far as any handgun. One of my favorite authors, Hunter Thompson, used to carry it around with him all the time. If someone got out of line with him, he'd spray them and then hit the road quickly. You see, after you spray the person, it kinda blinds and chokes them, but, once they catch their breath, they are mad as Hell. Still can't see clearly, but, anger is almost always a result after you spray someone. So, either you hightail it out of there on your horse, or, you carry a golf club with you and take out the person's knees after you mace them. "Now, Hillbilly man trying to steal my horse, this may hurt a little." WHACKKKKK! I gave my Momma some mace for Christmas. My wife and daughter got theirs last year. $13.95 up in Tennessee, always available, at a Cocke County pawn shop. Cheaper than a gun, easier to handle, and less mess. Happy Holidays. cya, Howard I have a Lady Smith & Wesson 357 mag. It's a nice size gun for a woman. I have small hands and it fits my hand well. It is just a 5 shot. The 357's give quite a kick so the nice thing about the gun is that you can use 38 shells which don't kick quite so much or even just have bird shot in it.
