The sole purpose of .380 is for tiny, super concealable guns. It makes absolutely zero sense for home defense.
It's also worth noting that these tiny pocket pistols are very difficult to shoot accurately and are generally not good for beginners.

I have been going to the PA Game Lands off of 910 near Wexford for 25 years. You will either have to have a valid PA hinting license which costs $20 and runs from July 1 through June 30 or you get a range permit.
I usually opt for the license because I can get it at most places that sell ammo. You are allowed to take one guest. You must have eye protection and some sort of hearing protection is a must. No more than 6 rounds at a time. Though it isn't always the case, wardens do pop in on people from time to time.
Be respectful, observe safe handling practices, and have your license/range permit handy. Also, clean up your brass.

We went two weeks ago. I thought the dumplings were underwhelming as were the pork buns.
But the noodles and fish we got were incredible. The fish was stupid expensive though, about half the bill. Oh and the cocktail for two was also good.

Yeah a compact .380 is a decent all-rounder. I’d recommend them to not go any smaller than something like an M&P Shield EZ though because once you get into pocket pistol territory they just get to be plain uncomfortable to shoot well.

If you're calling out specifically that you went downtown last fall, it's safe to assume you don't go downtown on a daily or even weekly basis. So i don't think you have enough perspective to offer valuable input on the status of downtown.

You ever been to a gun range before because it sounds like you’ve never been to a gun range

Dude's writing to his audience. The people who read the Trib are old, white, and suburban. It makes grandpa angry, and grandma scared, it's the perfect article for the Trib.

Surely in the minority but really thought Parlor sucked big time. A lot of the options were straight up flavorless. Really wanted to like it, because having a full on dim sum place here is great. But it was just a miss for me.
Not the full experience but Everyday Noodles is way better imo.

We need a clean nuclear plant to supply all these places rather than coal plants. I know I know Solar !!!

i don't know where exactly but i can give you some quick tips: your spot needs to have a window with good amount of diffused light coming in (shouldnt be a problem on a winter pittsburgh day). ideally there wouldn't be a ton of other overhead lights to mess with the temperature and shadows. have your partner (ideally this isn't a selfie) stand right in front of the window. you back up 10' or so facing the window/partner. this distance will reduce distortion (assuming cell phone) at the cost of some quality (you'll have to crop in)- but you don't need many pixels for a little headshot (experiment with the distance, it's lens dependent- use telephoto option if you have it). the background should be simple (which will be the hard part) but if you can at least blur it using a 'portrait mode' then the combination of good light + low distortion will make the DIY headshot better than most. for location i was thinking some of the PPG buildings by the fountain. i think they're open, lots of open space, and lots of windows. hopefully the windows aren't too tinted so you have enough light. actually shooting outside with some snow on the ground could be great- you'll get some light bounce up to fill shadows. the background being further away will allow you to blur it better too. have fun! edit- north hills... honestly try north park outside over the lake with a blur background option. should turn out nice

Unfortunately all the better locations are built out and these developments are getting into very rural areas. Reminds me of south fayette, jefferson hills, plum, peters, etc Meanwhile nimbys in Oakland and shadyside keep fighting 12 story buildings closer to offices
