originally posted by deadin: You're talking about the "felony murder" rule, but it wouldn't apply in this case. The underlying crime in progress would have to be much more serious than simple unlicensed concealed carry in order to elevate a death from "not a crime" or manslaughter to murder...

I've noticed that if I'm using the harder CCI #41 primers, they seat just fine even if I don't remove the crimp. I'll still swage the primer pockets a little bit, but it doesn't seem to be necessary.

If both guns were the exact same size & weight, then I could see your point - why choose .380 over 9mm? But I suspect that guns like the Beretta 84 and the Bersa that shootniron linked to are smaller than most 9mm models of similar capacity. That's the "niche" I was referring to - bigger than...

I guess I'd have to look at the Beretta next to some of the compact 9mm models out there of similar capacity to see if the Beretta is significantly smaller. If not, then I agree - 9mm would be a better choice. But if it is smaller than most 13+1 9mm guns, then I could see it filling a useful...

I have a Beretta 84 that holds 13+1 rounds of .380 ACP in a double-stack magazine, and it got me wondering if there are still very many high-capacity compact .380 pistols being made? All of the recent .380s I can think of are sub-compact single-stack ones like the LCP, where size is...

I don't think the CCW laws in Indiana have much to do with the number of shootings in Chicago... (I know, I know - it was a typo, I'm just having fun.) As for the low crime rate in Switzerland, that's the result of a lot of factors beyond just their gun laws. I'm sure there are countries...

The Lee balance scale can be frustrating to use, until you realize that you don't have to get the pointer to line up *perfectly* with the index mark on the scale body - even if you're a pointer's width above or below the index mark, you're still well within 0.1 gr of the indicated weight. So...

Whenever I've had the bolt fail to go all the way forward, it was always for reasons where the forward assist obviously wasn't going to help things, so I've never used it.

Static electrical fields don't generate magnetic fields. You may still be seeing an attraction from the static field alone, just like a plastic or glass rod with a static charge on it will attract small scraps of paper.
