    Why REHOLSTER a CCW?

    Cosmoline, how do you figure you're any safer saying "I'm unarmed"? Why would the police believe you are, in fact, unarmed if they suspect you just killed someone? Sure, there is gun you put down in the open. But they have no way of knowing if that one is yours or the dead guy's. Nor do they...

    "Shall Issue" Inconsistency

    NC's CCW law is much the same. Take your class, file your application, pass your background check, pick up your permit. It is shall issue. The sheriff is operating exactly like the DMV examiner does in the driver's license process. The purchase permit "good moral character" requirement is...

    Warning - do not cook gunpowder . . .

    The show is called Brainiac: Science Abuse. Abuse. They're not pretending to anything scientific. :D

    Smith and Wesson's "smart" gun.

    I'm not really worried about having my "smart gun" disabled by EMP. Given the sources of EMP, if my gun is disabled in such a fashion I'll more likely be concerned with the outbreak of nuclear war and the lethal exposure of radiation I'm taking. Of course the far more likely disabling factors...

    Enough bullets are made every year to shoot everyone in the world twice, Oxfam says.

    I really like how they start by saying there are enough bullets to shoot everybody in the world, twice. (This is without me pointing out that bullets don't launch themselves.. Oh. I guess I just pointed that out. Oops.) And then they innocuously back off from that position by saying that...

    When SIG is All Wet!

    I know the Mythbusters guys fired a Sig underwater. I don't recall what model or caliber it was exactly. It did fire the first round but stovepiped. It also had a bullet travel of a few feet. I think I recall the penetration, on ballistic gel at 2 feet, was something on the order of 2 inches...

    Gangbangers in gun stores?

    *chuckle* Stilleto Null (.. I'm too lazy to go back and check if thats the username) mentioning the guys at PDHSC talking about some of the people that come through the store makes me wonder just what they thought or said about me.. I've tried to do my homework on pistols. I don't own any...

    Does it burn your hide when a potential buyer doesn't get back to to you to say...

    I respond to "Thank you" with "You're welcome." But also with "No problem" or "My pleasure." I don't know why I change it up. Maybe just the amount of cosmic radiation scrambling my thoughts at the time of utterance. I certainly never do so with the intent to slight someone. I've only ever...
