    Matt-

    Do you live in Denver? This has been the new "thing" lately in Denver...broad day-light.
    Are you familiar with CO Make My Day laws?
    Have you considered purchasing some alarm signs off Amazon? Cheap and may be an effective deterrent as well.

    ....FWIW - the sound of a shotgun chambering around is universal....everyone knows that sound. A pistol wont do as much damage as some good slugs against a bear.
    Ref pistols - I'm a Glock fan boy..never an issue.

    I'm personally a fan of the sig p226.

    I work at a range so I get to try a bit of everything.

    I'd suggest though going to a range and renting guns to try out a bunch and see what you like. Guns are like cars and you should test drive them first. I've seen many people first hand love how a gun feels until they shoot it.

    I would say you're close to centennial gun club. Gorgeous place. I know they allow walk in shooters and you can rent guns as well from them.

    This. And much less chance of a round going through a neighbors house.

    I'm at a loss too. And I know I got above average mpg for the life of this truck. But I wouldn't expect it to finally realize, "hey... wtf? I shouldn't be getting 21... I should be getting 17 or 18. Let me adjust now." :(

    I'm bringing the truck back to them to replace the pump under warranty. It makes a shit load of noises and groans. So they are going to replace it. Maybe a bad pump would cause this? I dunno... like I said I have no clue.

    Was hoping you and Jace would chime in eventually. Bad timing to post this with the Moab trip ensuing.

    In theory a dragging pump could cause more engine load decreasing fuel mileage. Either way it sounds like it is dead and should be repaired.

    I get about 18-20 in my similarly spec'd truck with 3.91 gears...if the power steering belt is too tight it will squeal under load but shouldn't affect how it runs

    It doesn't matter what gun you have, as long as you put several well placed rounds on target....what drains faster? A can with one hole in it or a can with several well placed holes.

    Buy a shotgun.
