    Another reason why "warning" shots are a bad idea

    Reminds me of the QUAKER who caught a burglar entering his window. "My friend, while thou knowest I would do thee no bodily harm, thou art standing where I intend to shoot".

    A One-off, factory mistake??

    Just MHO, but if I were the OP, that gun would be in a safe deposit box until fully resolved! Just saying..... :what:

    Reliability: Revolver vs. SemiAuto

    So, the bottom line in reliability - 1) Keep it clean and lubed 2) Be proficient 3) Wear the pistol on one hip and the revolver on the other. (Personal preference decides which to reach for first). There - best of both worlds. No worries, mate! :uhoh:

    When did concealed carry become illegal?

    I put a lot of history into Chapter 8 of my book "Resurrection of America" - "Restoring the Constitution’s Second Amendment". Any THR member can get a Word.doc copy of that chapter by request. Just drop an email to patriotsfire at gmail.com. :what:

    "chicago screws" for knife handle?

    The link I posted above carries several styles in both zinc plated steel and stainless. I have bought from them before, and the service is excellent, the prices reasonable. (No vested interest, just a happy customer). :) A quick pictorial of all their products is here...

    Rossi Ranch Hand

    I'm thinkin that if I had that much $$ to play with, it would be the Circuit Judge, just because. Looks neater, more versatile, and possibly even useful! ;)

    How Do You Justify, In Your Mind, Large Gun Collections?

    Why does anyone have to justify a collection? Who's need to know? I only wish I had a collection, I wouldn't need to justify it, just enjoy it. There are those of us who have to save even for the little things like a new set of reloading dies. (Thank Obama for that, but that's another story))...

    McDonald SCOTUS Decision -- Master Thread

    While a win is a win, I would have rather seen 7-2 or even 8-1 instead of 5-4. But I'll take it!
