As I've said, range-time is my favorite part of my week. However, Beware! Even if you are an expert, the person in the next stall, may not be... If we all follow the rules set forth by FateofDestinee, going to the range, will remain a fun & safe experience.

Lately, I have been hearing a lot of conversation about "Defensive Rounds" and how they are different from the bullets I use at the range. Here is an article I found, to help explain the matter.
Secrets for the Best Personal Defense Cartridge
By David L. Williams
Each piece of equipment we use for personal defense is a tool. And as with all tools, we have to consider the design and purpose of the tool and ensure we are putting it to the proper use to be effective. It’s possible to dig a hole with a claw hammer, but it’s not the most effective or efficient method. A shovel can put a nail in a board, but it’s not the best way to do it.A handgun cartridge was designed to do one thing, but not what most people think. The term “knock-down” power is the most misleading term in personal defense. There is no handgun cartridge with the capability to “knock down” a man. I also submit to you that no handgun bullet in history was ever designed to knock a man down.
Throughout history, there have been two primary types of weapons:If we keep this in perspective, it will help us choose the best tool for our purpose in self-defense. Impact weapons are designed to hit the target with sufficient focused energy to destroy the target or stop the target from moving. A large-scale example is the MOAB, or Mother Of All Bombs. The MOAB uses explosive energy alone, with no shrapnel, to destroy targets.

As you may know, I get especially girly when it comes to my range gear. This is why I think I may have found a soul-mate in Kimberly Bortz, the owner of Bang Bang Boutique, LLC. The story of how guns became part of Kimberly's life is wonderful! Here is a sample:

I shot a gun for the first time in January 2004. You see, there was this guy I really, really liked. He was into shooting and said he would show me how. I was terrified, but said yes because I really wanted to impress him with how tough I was.
At the range, he laid out a variety of guns before me – even though he patiently explained what each one was and what types of bullets it shot – it all went in one earmuffed protected ear and out the other. All I gleaned was there were semi-automatic and revolvers. I liked the revolvers more.
We both discovered that day I was actually a pretty decent shooter. All my shots stayed within the body outline of my target. If my aim was to impress my guy friend, it worked. He kept nudging the other guys in the range going “Check this out! This is her first time shooting!” Shortly afterwards, he dubbed me with the nick name “Bang Bang.”
In August of that year, my friend asked me out on our first real date. It was a great first date, the kind of night that you know is the start of something really special and someday you will tell your grandkids about.

Home Protection Practice
Shooting at the range is fun but if I had to protect myself, that's probably the last place I would be. One should practice with their weapon in order to prepare for an emergency in the home. The best way to do this and maintain your accuracy is with devices like these.
And here is some good practicing info:
