    You actually can call for help and they will come to assist you. It’s happened to me a couple times. 

    Maybe.  I've waited 15 minutes for someone to show up at all and had a bunch of idiots who aren't smart enough to pee a hole in a snow bank waste my time while they tried to get an answer on their computer gizmo.  I'm too old to deal with that BS

    Background music

    I normally mute the commercials but sometimes it’s unavoidable to listen. Why is they’re always background music? Sometimes is almost as loud as the person trying to sell something! It’s annoying as h#$&.

    Rant over………..😡

     I agree and have been  beating that drum for decades.  Music (so-called) is everydamn where, usually too loud, many times totally inappropriate (like any rowdy high speed crap at breakfast), and anything instrumental.

     

    If I wanted to hear that I'd find it on my radio.

     

    How often have you heard anyone ever say  "Let's go to Sally's for breakfast.  They have really loud (name your poison) music all day long."

     

    I also hate being in traffic with some jackass with his windows open and blasting his garbage out into my world.  I followed one jerk for two blocks with my horn blasting away.

    Butter and syrup, just like a pancake or waffle.

    Did that once in Arkansas and got laughed out of town.  I still prefer real butter with bit of salt and a tiny tad of garlic salt.

     

    If you don't like it that way, don't eat it that way.  You go to your church and I'll go to mine.

    Have you ever taken your cowboy guns hunting?

    I have taken  several deer with my 73 in .45 Colt. I was using smokeless powder instead of BP which I shoot in matches.

    My '72 is .44-40 and has a 24" octagonal barrel, a gift from my wife for Christmas in 1982....my first dedicated SASS gun.

    I've taken a Mule deer and a whitetail, two bobcats and a badger with it.  (The badger was almost an accident.   I wasn't really hunting anything that morning.)  All of these were before 1991.

     

    My SKB 220E  26" 12gauge has been used on several pheasant, four chukars, two huns, three or four California quail, and jackrabbits galore....all before 1984   Too long and heavy for much SASS work and my Rossi coach gun wasn't long enough for decent hunting, so I adapted.

     

    I bought another Ithaca  12 gauge Model 34 Feather Light  (one of several plus one 20 Gauge). Haven't hunted much of anything since 1999.

    Colt detective special

    in SASS Wire Saloon

    I was given a 1947 vintage Dick Special by a friend who was dying.  It's a solid 90-95% gun and the only thing I've done is added a Tyler T-Grip to it so it fits my hand better.

     

    I bought a "vampire" shoulder holster (holster is upside down so the muzzle points straight up) for it that is the best holster I could find.  I wish they made them for semi-autos.

     

    Using Hornady Critical Defense and firing one-handed (right hand) I can keep six out of six in a four and a half  inch circle at ten yards.  Two hands shrinks it to three and a half.

     

    One handed (left) I can keep five out of six in a nine to nine and a half inch circle.  The sixth round is two or three inches lower at five to seven o'clock.

     

    All are suitable for a close range gunfight.  Anything further will have me looking for something to rest the gun or my hand on.  Anything over six shots.....even though I have three loaded Speed Loaders.....is not a gunfight, it's a war and I'll be looking for a way out.

     

    This is my everyday carry piece for most of the year.  In really cold weather and a wearing a heavier coat, I up grade to a 1911 in .45 acp. with the the same brand and style of ammo.  The gun is refinished and tuned by David Fink at Gunsite Academy and has a three dot tritium sight set for indoor dim light  like in my house.  It also sports some really nice "double diamond" walnut grips.  It rides in a custom Ted Blocker holster I bought years ago when I had a business in San Dimas, CA, about a half mile from his shop and for a different 1911.

     

    I have a lot of other guns but these are the ones I carry in case of unexpected social events requiring a gun.

    Man what a bunch of dinosaurs!😂

    Thank you for noticing.  It's always gratifying to have someone recognize the effort I put into that.

    Not defending WalMart, but I doubt alienating Trump supporters is on WalMart's to-do list.

     

    Every family has (at least) one a*****e in the family. The Walton family isn't any different!

     

    Hell, look at Trump's sister!

    They have alienated me and is has nothing whatever to do with Trump or politicians of any breed.  My family is laced with them...like my sister and her son.

     

    She sees the world through a tiny aperture like a soda straw.  He's just a raging so-called "conservative" moron.
