Taurus USA has long been considered the best carry sidearm.&nbsp; But there is a lot more to Taurus than the perfect carry sidearm. Whether you want to carry a compact .380, or a 9mm or maybe you prefer the full frame 1911 models. There is one for you to choose from.&nbsp; For those of us who lvoe hunting with handguns, nothing beats the Raging Hunter. Now with 5 caliber options, and 4 different barrel lengths, the Ranging Hunter is the epitome of hunting handguns. I love the .44 magnum with the 6.5" barrel for everything that walks on the planet!&nbsp; But if you want more kick, there is the .454 Casull, and the .460 Rem Mag. or the .500 S&amp;W. But there is a lot more to the Taurus family and today we will learn more about Heritage Manufacturing, and Rossi Firearms. The discussion goes into detail of how all three brands are meeting the market demand for specific firearms in the industry.&nbsp; &nbsp;

In John 4 we read about an encounter that Jesus had with a lady at a well in Samaria. &nbsp;Prior to this we learn that the religious elite wouldn't even enter into Samaria due to their prejudices. &nbsp;The question we must ask ourselves is, are my prejudices limited my ability to live holy and to offer hope to the world?

In this episode, host Zach Urness talks with outdoors intern Rose Shimberg about backpacking the 40-mile trail around Mount Hood: the Timberline Trail.

In late August, Shimberg spent three nights backpacking the loop, journeying through terrain including waterfalls, high alpine landscapes, lush forests and deep canyons. 

She reports on how to navigate the trail's notorious stream crossings and the status of the "blowdown section" that was closed for years by downed trees. Shimberg also talks about where to find cell service, find an amazing breakfast and spots on the trail to not miss.
