Yay! Just turned 53 Sunday (yes, September 11), and I feel like a new woman;^)
Wife bought me a mutt puppy of my choice, so it was off to the pound and found a wonderful Border/Lab mix. Soooo cute! Picked up as a stray
a week or so prior... He's gotta be neutered before we can pick him up. I imagine this will not be the dog's best day;^(
Yes, I agree the older you become, the more willing you are to part with cash for guns, since we no longer feel omnipotent ("Tish, I love it when you speak French...") and have to use bullets instead of fists. Plus there are a lot more just plain bad guys. In today's paper, I read of a BG carjacking a woman and a good guy followed them to help the lady. The BG pulls gun, shoots and Mr. Good pulls his Roscoe and sends the guy to the ground like a sack of potatoes. BG is also suspected in a rape/murder in the same area last week. Too bad the Good Guy didn't get to the hijacked vehicle before a cement truck plowed into the SUV, killing the woman. Tragic!
So, we all NEED a R9, it's just a matter of finding one and the money to pay for it. It is indeed my only carry gun. I do have a dilemma about what other guns to carry so I'll post that in the other guns category.

I am surprised by some to the ages presented here. I will be 53 in September, but when I was younger and struggling to provide a living for my family, I could never have afforded a Rohrbaugh, no matter how much I needed one. Fortunatley, mine is prepaid now, and just waiting on a shipment date.
