The story of the American buffalo is one of triumph and tragedy. Today, buffalo (bison) numbers have soared back 500,000 thanks to private ranches and management.

Stun guns are a non-lethal defensive tool used to stop an attacker. There are two main types of stun guns: the older hand-held stun guns operate on a high-voltage, low-amperage electrical charge that causes immense pain but does not disrupt the body’s nervous system, and the more modern tasers utilize two probes that are fired at the target and controlled by a computer pulse modulation to completely incapacitate the target by causing all core muscles in the body to lock up.

I’m not a fan of Glocks. I never have been. I have always liked attractive guns.
