We don't have much "grizz" around here, and if I really needed a revolver for "defense," I think my .357 MAG is more than sufficient. $3 a pop for ammo? Now *that* is a giggle." You would need a bloated 'Uncle Sam' pension to afford that ammo. We're not all retired yet. My income allows me to have nice toys. I'm not eligible for any pensions yet my 401K will serve me well. This downturn in the market has been a great buying opportunity for those of us not drawing from our retirement funds! |

So which of the Vanguard ETFs should be getting my $57? -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

I don't invest in ETF's but now would be a good buy in any if you are day trading! I like target date mutual funds but I have a blend of stocks and other mutual funds, too - about 30 different equities. I've haven't played in commodities but I wish I had an account when oil dipped into the 30's! |

The 4" is a handful! Just watched Tim's video for the first time. I am no expert but I'd say that's *not* the way to shoot a 500 Magnum. Notice the locked elbows. (You may have to watch the video two or three times before you even notice her elbows though). |

I didn't notice that since I don't fire *any* guns with locked elbows. Seems unnatural. |
