Closest I ever came was with a bear at 10 yards. Thankfully he walked away. Was picking huckleberries with my wife and he decided they were his huckleberries. Was pretty intense for a few moments. I thank God I have never had to pull a weapon on a human and hope to remain that way the rest of my life.

It's something that I hope that I never have to do. A close friend of mine I was in the military with did pull his firearm to protect a lady who was getting her face punched in closed fist style by her boyfriend/husband/whoever. Luckily he didn't have to shoot the guy to stop him from rearranging her face and when the police showed up things didn't get squirly considering he was a black guy in Texas detaining a white doode at gunpoint. He made the local news that night. Real good guy who did the right thing.
May 28, 20214 yr Eye opening article on home based gun dealers, at least for me. Increasing licensing fees for these vendors and changing liability laws would discourage some. https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/investigations/2021/05/28/home-based-gun-dealers-fail-atf-inspections-nationwide/7224860002/

My job requires lots of PPE and I have gotten acid and caustic on my gloved hands, had drops of chemical hit my face shield, and fumes from ammonia, muriatic acid and other nasty chemicals be repelled by my respirator. I have also used a fire extinguisher once in a situation that had the potential to cause a pretty big loss of life.

June 6, 20214 yr Judge rules California's decades-old assault weapon ban violates Second Amendment Quote The judge noted that an estimated 185,569 assault weapons were registered with the state despite the ban By Brie Stimson | Fox News A federal judge in San Diego on Friday overturned California’s three-decade ban on assault weapons, saying it violates the Second Amendment. "Under no level of heightened scrutiny can the law survive," U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez said before issuing a permanent injunction that takes effect in 30 days. Benitez argued the state’s definition of illegal military-style rifles bans firearms allowed in other states, depriving California gun owners of their rights. He compared the AR-15 rifle to a Swiss Army knife, saying it’s "a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment. Good for both home and battle." A judge compared the AR-15 rifle to a Swiss Army knife, saying it’s "a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment. Good for both home and battle." The lawsuit filed by the San Diego County Gun Owners Political Action Committee, California Gun Rights Foundation, Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition is among several by gun advocacy groups challenging California’s firearms laws, which are among the strictest in the nation. "One is to be forgiven if one is persuaded by news media and others that the nation is awash with murderous AR-15 assault rifles," Benitez said in the ruling, referring to AR-15s as "ordinary guns" in comparison to bazookas, howitzers, or machine guns that he said should only be used in the military. "The facts, however, do not support this hyperbole, and facts matter." He noted there are currently an estimated 185,569 assault weapons registered with the state despite the ban. Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the ruling, calling it "a direct threat to public safety and the lives of innocent Californians." He said the Swiss Army knife comparison undermined the "credibility" of the ruling and was a "slap in the face to the families who’ve lost loved ones to this weapon." California Attorney General Rob Bonta said the state will appeal the ruling. California first restricted assault weapons in 1989, with multiple updates to the law since then. The state is also appealing Benitez’s 2017 ruling against the state’s ban on the sales and purchases of magazines holding more than 10 bullets and his 2020 decision blocking a 2019 California law requiring background checks for anyone buying ammunition. Both measures were backed by voters in a 2016 ballot measure. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/judge-rules-californias-decades-old-assault-weapon-ban-violates-second-amendment
