Apparently they were told that they weren't allowed to be shooting in that part of the forest. When dad went to clear his gun, something happened and that was that.

Ohhhhh, I interpreted your post as they were grocery shopping together and father had a negligent discharge of a concealed carry weapon. Carry on...

I put the quotes and angry face in, because I feel the opposite.

Most gun people will tell you that the friction of gun in the holster will keep it in place... But I feel a lot better having a thumb snap on my IWB holster. It will keep the gun a lot more secure if I end up running, wrestling with somebody, etc. You can even undo the thumb snap preemptively and just not use it, if you want. Having a thumb break doesn't slow down drawing by that much, and it adds a ton of safety. Then look at how unlikely it is you'll ever need to draw in self defense...

But clearly most people don't think this way, which you will see if you try to buy an IWB holster with a thumb snap - nobody makes them.

Ah. Gotcha. I'm still learning. Who knew an EMS site would teach me so much about guns. :p
 
There are EMTS at symphony hall here. I went up to visit with them before I had to go perform in the opera. It's times like this that I feel so conflicted.

I found a site called Sportman's Guide. They seem to have good prices for ammo ($12 for 50 of Magtech) but if there are better ones out there, I'm open to suggestions for sure! I already have some desert areas scoped out where shooting is permitted and am going to save cans and bottles and stuff I can't wait to get out there!

Hassyampa river bed. Its a bit of a trek for ya, bout 10 miles south of wickenburg, but no one will bother ya. It's a pig huntin area, so it's the norm in that area. Only thing around is the Hassyampa River Ranch so you need to be a few miles from there, due to some legal restrictions, but he's pretty far up the riverbed anyways.
4x4 is required or a hike in. Sandy wash bottom, eats tires up and you'll get stuck if you only have a car. Real fun area, though. You can hike maybe 100 yards in from the wash bottom and be in thick brush on the sides, but a nice clear stretch of river bottom to shoot down.

Well, had my first "did I make the right call" moment today. Ended up changing my decision but still thinking about it.
 
Whew. First all nighter at work in a while. I'm clearly very spoiled since I am so distressed at actually having to work during my whole 12 hour night shift!

Online bulk ammo purchases will be your friend. Find a decent priced ammo that your pistol likes and buy it in bulk to save on shipping costs. Also don't forget to try a few magazines of your self defense ammo to make sure that it feeds in the pistol without any issues.

Actually I got 400 rounds online for $98 and free shipping. That's probably not the best deal and I'll def be shopping around. It could have been less, but I opted for bullets that were just a bit better than the cheapest (least expensive). I had also purchased some Federal hollow points for home and shot 6 of them. Didn't want to shoot any more of those because there are only 20 in the box and they are a bit more pricey.
The bullets I shot with tonight were Remington 9mm 115 grain.
