Couple of clubs in Texas do the same thing. Here we call it Sharpshooter.
Lots of fun.

This was made using ½" CPVC (for .38/.357) and wooden dowels.
Recently passed it on to a new shooter (I'd never used it).
I made one for my late wife. Made it to only hold 5 rounds as it was easier for her to use.-

WD 40 is a poor gun lubricant, especially in cooler weather.
I would use Hornaday 1 Shot.

I would like to think the ruling would have been different if the individual was not on parole.

Sure hope they aren't too badly hurt. One horse was obviously injured and bleeding.

This is the style we had on the farm. Could be opened from the inside and automatically latches when closed.

This particular garage doesn't lend itself to an "inset" pedestrian door, and there's no room in the front of the garage for another door. Actually, there is a pedestrian door in back - I want access to the front for large stuff, like the riding mower, welding cart, boat motors and such.
So the latch set that @sassnetguy50 found might be the ticket - when looking at it I stumbled upon this one, which might bear consideration: "Old School Garage Latch"
Be sure it can be opened from the inside when the outside latch is locked. Seen a few that couldn't.

The type with the handle in the middle and the flat ars that lock into the vertical track, can operate from both sides. The handle only locks it if properly adjusted, from the outside/inside. You need a key to unlock it from the outside.

Don't buy anything till you attend a match or two. Ask to try other peoples firearms to see what feels right to you.
Some pistols will point more naturally than others. Some people like birdshead grips some don't. Same for Bisley grips.
Some prefer Rugers, some prefer SAA, and others prefer open tops. Barrel length is also a personal preference. You'll see barrel lengths as short as 2" to as long as 12".
Same applies to rifles and shotguns.
Tricked out heavily modified guns will not make you a top shooter. Properly tuned firearms and a lot of practice is what it takes.
BTW some of us shoot for style points and compete to have the most fun.

Check your bags thoroughly when traveling out of the US. This includes driving into Canada or Mexico.

Any more I use a probe thermometer for almost any meat in the oven.
Casseroles not so much.
I've tried it with bread and don't find any benefit.
I use my pen thermometer a lot on lasagna enchiladas and similar dishes.-

Me dear Pappy would get a cardboard can of "Flowers of Sulfur" (powdered sulfur) at the drug store. We'd dust our pants cuffs with sulfur to keep off ticks.
Looking at your reversed tape dodge ... can't argue with results ... I'll give that a try, and thank you for it!
I used powdered sulfur for ticks and chiggers. Dust socks, tops of boots, pants from knee down and around the waist band of my underwear. Worked better than any version of OFF.
My Grandma gave me a large antique pink plastic ladies powder puff setup filled with sulfur rather than makeup powder.
Without it I’d have never survived my childhood. The chiggers would have been the death of me.

If you get a thermometer, get a Thermopen. My Wife bought me one and I could no longer do without it.

I use my digital thermometer all the time. I have 1 pen type and another with 2 probes. One probe is to monitor smoker temp and the other is inserted to monitor internal temp of whatever I am cooking.
No more over cooked turkey or chicken that is dry and tough.
Never worry about undercooked poultry either.

Talk about transition and all this stuff all day I’m trying to absorb all this like a sponge. . And then I’m gonna hopefully sit down this weekend and try a little bit of everything and see what works best for me and practice practice practice
Get yourself a video camera and film yourself as much as possible. Especially dry fire practice. This will let you see areas that need improvement and Identify anything that could lead to bad habits.

5. He ought to know the rudiments of camping, how to build a fire, how to chop wood, how to take a cinder out of his eye, how to deal with a severed artery, how to doctor himself for ordinary ailments.
When traveling, always carry a tiny box of flaxseed for possible cinders. The instant a foreign substance is felt in the eye throw the head back and drop two or three flaxseeds on the ball of the eye and lift the upper lid and draw it down over them, so as to hold them in. There is no disagreeable sensation attached to putting the seed in, and the relief will come instantly. The moisture of the eye dampens the seed, and it gives out a mucous substance, which spreads over the eye and covers the grit. After awhile the seeds will begin to work out and Fix this textwill bring the offending particles with them-
