I`ve met several people who seemed to be haunted by things they did or failed to do, but never encountered a gun or other object that I thought was haunted. Some people following this thread might enjoy reading Rudyard Kipling`s piece titled : My Own True Ghost Story ( which was based on his...

Come hell or high water I will vote for Rob Astorino on Nov. 4. When I see Cuomo on TV bashing all "...the Extreme Conseratives that have NO PLACE in New York..", his face gets distorted and ugly as a gargoyle and he resembles a statue of one of the mad Roman Emperors ...well I think it`s time...

Voted NO! Too bad they didn`t offer the choice of Hell No!

Darth Cabela`s booming voice keeps echoing in your head " MC, I am your father. Listen to me: RESISTANCE IS FUTILE !" Damn that Darth Cabela! :evil:

I was going to suggest a Ballard rifle but I see you`d like a cattleman`s carbine.

Damoc Great story. But I would consider Billy Tate a MAN, a very young man, but a man, nonetheless. In tough places and tough times, people tend to grow up very fast.

Kitsapshooter. Thanks for offering to help .Sent you a PM.

Midwest There have been some challenges to the Sullivan Act, but they didn`t get anywhere. As you correctly pointed out the Sullivan Act has been in effect for 102 years. Right now the biggest thorn in the side of NY gun owners is the S.A.F.E. Act and is the one we have the better chance of...

Pseudonymity I made the same suggestion in Post # 20 of the You have No Place in NY if you oppose the S.A.F.E. Act thread . Surprisingly :rolleyes: I didn`t get any takers on it. I got posts that said it`s your state, your mess, clean it up yourself! I honestly didn`t expect anyone to move...

IIRC, Pony Express riders originally carried 2 revolving pistols. In order to save weight and increase the speed of the riders-an important safety issue- they switched to carrying 1 revolving pistol with 1 spare cylinder. It seems like changing cylinders on horseback while trying to escape...
