A loaded gun left around children should never happen. Having said that, my kids were trained never to touch a gun of any kind unless I was there to show them the gun. They are now grown and have children of their own. We never had a problem. But when their friends came over to the house the guns were put in the safe.

SAWBONES,

Thanks for your kind offer.  They are marked Ranger LEO only.  I wouldn't want a good forum friend to get in trouble.

There is still  hope for getting another .45 here.

No worries about that Ranger T "LEO Only" labeling, Michigunner; it "don' mean a thang" legally, except that it makes me all the more concerned that it might harm you, so it'd be safest if you box it up and send it to me right away. ;)

Seriously though, I think the Winchester Ranger T loads are optimum choices for CCW/self defense in all the available calibers.

However, the MSRP is  $874.  Who wants to spend that much money for a pistol?

Bill,
    You didn't let it stop you with the pup!! ;) ;D 8)

I carry a Glock 26 a lot and I feel perfectly safe with it and believe the rule of no fingers on the trigger unless your shooting..
My children have been taught since "babyhood" to respect and to treat firearms with the caution and care that they need!!
I always look out for the "others" though..Relatives and friends of the kids-they are when things can go froggy!!

Brenden, its called training your children. Those other kids... who knows.
The Eddie Eagle the NRA has is a good deal.
