Let me guess, the documents would be in 12 point times new roman? Perhaps Calibri? :D At least there you'd wouldn't have issues of a variable spaced font being supposedly typed on a mono-spaced typewriter. :rolleyes:

CajunBass, I saw before/after pictures for a woman who took a shotgun blast to the face from her husband/boyfriend. He then went out and (successfully) committed suicide. She lived. She's essentially had a face transplant, but she survived. A *GOOD* headshot, IE one to the brain, will...

Personally, I think this is mostly a solution seeking a problem. IE is there a rash of CCW holders shooting things/people they aren't supposed to? Is it at a rate higher than the police? No? Why would they need more training? Personally, I'd teach firearm safety and basic marksmanship in...

I'm looking to renew right now, please sign me up, if you can find a spot.

By all evidence, the number of gun owners isn't dwindling at all.

I mostly bang into stuff just because I'm a clutz, doesn't matter if I have a hip holster or not, I bang my hip fairly frequently.

Cops are after criminals. Criminals are normally dumb. The smart ones generally aren't caught. Cops can often catch a criminal just by asking questions, the criminal will eventually trip up over the lies. Heck, many just confess. Assuming the average criminal will know to have a couple...

I think the trick is that boresnakes have so much surface area it doesn't really matter - it's going to be a while before the back end is significantly dirty. That and most of them are washable. If you don't want to wash, buy a new one every so often.

Some wallyworld clerks punch in the birthdate for those age verification checks. Are we sure they punched in the DL# and not the BD? I'd imagine that it'd be much more complicated - my DL number has characters in it and is much longer.

I too follow the philosophy that a magazine should be able to reliably be loaded with it's stated capacity; by the same token if I buy a '15 round' magazine but can shoehorn a 16th round inside, I don't expect the magazine to function correctly - or even last. By the same token, a sign of a...

Ed, you have a point, but so doesn't Blackbeard. A serial killer, normally only kills 1 person at a time, and normally has quite a delay between killings. A spree killer, once they've started killing, normally doesn't stop and resume a 'normal' life before killing again. They normally...

I have to agree with the others that think a short lever action carbine in .30-30 would generally be HIGHLY effective in a self defense scenario. I would simply use a high quality hunting bullet, I wouldn't worry about looking for hollowpoints or anything. Hunting softpoints are designed to...

On the fingerprints - even if they did so, assuming you came up clean why would they bother? If you don't have any priors, warrents, aren't a disallowed person for firearm possession, they wouldn't have anything on you.

I just wish that the there were more followup stories along the line of 'After incident XYZ, inflicting unsuitable punishment on a student for no real reason at all, Principal A and Teacher B have been laid off'.

The .45 would be better. Save the .410 shells for snakes.
