Perhaps because folks who knew how to use them carried them with six.

One of the great things about being an armed civilian is the freedom of choice I have in the handguns I carry. I actually feel sorry for law enforcement as they are required to carry less effective handguns based solely on the determination of lawyers.

Remember, company lawyers have to protect the company from suits resulting not just from accidents but manufactured accidents. Note, not manufacturing accidents but those created for the purpose of filing suits.

I'm surprised the decendants of the ships owners haven't sued the US government wanting reparations.

I’m no historian. But I would imagine that any soldier facing an enemy loaded all six chambers. I suspect a law enforcement official facing possible multiple miscreants would as well. Perhaps a working cowboy or recreational outdoorsman might feel comfortable loading down a revolver cylinder. From p...

Sorry, but one quote pretty much explains the entire situation. That being the one about the “anticipated” powder shortage. Manufacturers have been using anticipated shortages to create shortages for decades. Then they raise prices which never return to pre-anticipated levels. Remember the run on pa...

Real men are confident enough in their masculinity that holding the wire’s purse doesn’t intimidate them.

Reading this I couldn’t help but think of the song “She can’t find her keys”.

So my takeaway is that he wasn’t using military grade munitions and the manufacturer got it wrong. All of us who reload understand the importance of proper loading procedures. Apparently rhe manufacturer didn’t fire the hundreds of rounds munitions manufacturers do before allowing a human anywhere n...

There was also, Engineer Bill (Red light, green light), and Sheriff John ( Put another candle on my birthday cake). They may have been regional shows. Little sister used to watch Romper Room.

Forced perspective. Camera above pointed down puts hand closer to lens. Sort of the same thing people do when taking photos of hunters behind game. Put game in front, hunters well behind animal, camera low shooting upwards. Hides the distance between animal and hunters. Sinc images are two dimension...

Alternatively, on the phone find settings. Scroll until you find notifications. On notifications find leverguns. Then turn off the notification.

Adequate first aid kits (actually good ones go well beyond “first aid”) are a must. Training to use the stuff inside is a must. But even more important are two things. The mindset to use the kit and acceptance that you can’t save everyone. The last is a really hard lesson to learn.

age wise the oldest person I talk to regularly is my aunt. She's 100 years old, and still drives. In fact when she and her 80 year old daughter go out, my aunt drives. The oldest in terms of when born I've ever talked to would be my maternal grandmother. Born in 1894 but she passed in 1968.

Docs got good words of wisdom. Whether you can really do any good in a bad situation comes down to individual willingness to do what’s needed. First aid is messy. Back when it was CPR it wasn’t uncommon (you’ll never see this in TV) for air to get into the stomach and result in regurgitation. The ai...

My background is a bit different than most. While enlisted I started taking EMT classes at a local college. The USAF didn’t have paramedics yet (still a very new concept and the medics were trained mostly for hospital and clinic duty. The hospital commander thought it was a great idea and gave mysel...

Never had any issues with my Dillion But Lyman made good on their products.

Since he already has violated his oath of office repeatedly he would likely continue regardless of what office he holds. How has he violated his oath? He has not only failed to uphold the Constitution of the US, but also of California. Examples are rampant but the easiest to see is his taking action...

Nath faces many of the same problems we face with coyotes. They breed fast, are very destructive and have somehow garnered the support of ignorant urbanites. Here, it isn’t until one looses a pet or even child that many keep their Disneyesque views of wildlife. Even with these losses some never learn.

If one considers that without French aid the colonies would have remained under Crown rule, failing to ally themselves to France, regardless of how meager that help would have been showed great lack of gratitude. The French were more than justified. As to the British, a few short years later we woul...

The past few weeks I've noticed a lot more fox activity here, seems like as soon as the sun goes down they are out and barking which drives Parker nuts! She gets her hackles up and barks and barks until I call her off. Not sure if the adage of if you have foxes you don't have coyotes is true but I'...

Nath, doesn't matter what side of the pond, predatory canines wreak havoc on cattle, sheep, goats and other domesticated critters. If we don't control their numbers they can cost folks a fair bit of their livelyhood.

Wild dogs are no joke. Often they have no fear of humans. They seem to kill sometimes just for sport and in doing so destroy the balance. I've hunted them up in the San Jaoquin Valley. They are very destructive to cattle and sheep, especially during calving and lambing. I stopped a little over ten y...

jeepnik

Just another spoiled and entitled waste.

Even in my suburban area coyote numbers have blossomed in recent years. There is no hunting allowed and all efforts to control their population by the government are fought by sierra club types. Mostly we see young individuals, mated pairs or family groups. Since we have no large prey animals they d...

Hmm, so many ideas, so little time.

My uncle introduced me to binoculars. A fairly inexpensive pair (hey I was twelve) for my birthday. It opened an entirely new world. Over the years I upgraded and currently a number of pairs. My all around use are Stiener Military/Marine. My favorite are a pair of Zeiss 10x42's. A few years ago I di...

Prayers up. I sat through the same long day, with my sister, when her husband had a heart transplant.

After the healing was done he walked the AP trail. Now 12 years later he is still going strong. Have faith in God’s to guide the surgeon’s hands.

Proving that people can make a difference a world away.

I must admit this is the first time I've heard of this. I wonder if any of the gas that fueled my dad's Shermans was delivered by PLUO.

By all means, celebrate employee theft.

And here I thought this was about fine law enforcement instead of a bunch of over paid cry babies.

Been there done that. By all means try non surgical methods first. But don’t wait for almost a year like I did. Depending on the severity and location the pain blocks will only work a short time. Simply put a severely injured disc won’t heal themselves. And the longer you wait the longer post surgic...

Once upon a time, when the visonary that started the coompany still ran it, Ruger stood for high quality and fair pricing. Now that they are run by businessmen the quality has slipped as prices have risen. In short, I gave up buying Rugers of any stripe. there are too many other gun companies that s...

Since I retired, I only have one goal. Wakeup tomorrow morning. If I do that it'll be a good day. If I don't it won't matter.

What I still don't know, in the drought wracked western states, why on earth swimming pools and watered lawns are not felonies already . . . eh? Well for one thing, the rich, who let's face it control such things, want their lawns and pools. The other is that the government has gone to great length...

Quite a bit of the tsunami panic BS is driven by the insurance industry. I live in a "tsunami risk area". But I live on top of a hill over two hundred feet above sea level. No consider the size a tsunami would have to be to impact my home. I understand that folks on the beack, or even on t...

Some years back quite a few folks were banned for not drinking the cool aid.

On top of the Hornady explosion. Firearms aren’t of any use to citizens if ammo is available. Back door gun control?

I tend to go with custom made holsters. It takes longer and costs more but it’s usually worth it.

If you do want production level, Simply Rugged has some fairly nice basket weaving and carving available.

Maybe because you learned your history in school and I learned ours. So it’s new to us.

jeepnik

Gamekeeper, do you ever watch videos by a fella who goes by The History Chap? Some pretty good info on British history.

My usual 1911 with a .45 acp AMT Backup. The wife pretty much carries her Glock 42 all the time.

Not sure if it qualifies, but I once walked around all day with an empty holster. When I got home I thought I had somehow lost the handgun. Looked high and low and finally found it in the safe where I had never taken it out.

Bill, prayeres are never wasted. I'll send them along.

So, what are the rules today on panning a stream. Is it okay, or are they just about "claimed"? Do the minerals belong to the owner of the mineral rights? What about on public lands? Here's why I asked. Some years back I used to run a metal detector over the local beaches from time to time...

In our local desert are hundreds, maybe thousands of mines. Quite a few are now cemented of bared off. But there remain a large percentage not blocked. From small diggins to rather extensive tunnels they do have an allure. I frequent them when roaming about. Other than some artifacts I have never fo...
