Forty Rod SASS 3935

Used that in one of my books, too.

NOT just a pretty face!

Before I left California I applied for a resident CCW permit. A few hundred dollars and ten months later I had encountered a whole mess of "do it over again" and " you need to do this" run-arounds. When we decided to move to Arizona I called the proper agency, had the forms in my hand in a week or so, submitted the forms with a check for (IIRC) $38.00 and got them back a few days later saying in essence "Dumb ass, you didn't sign the space on page two". I signed, resubmitted, and had the card in my possession in another three weeks. Don't think California won't put everything possible in the way to make it almost impossible to get an Out Of State CCW....if for no other reason than being spiteful over losing a court battle. I lived in that state for almost 38 years. I know what they are capable of and I know that they have no respect for citizens, courts, nor anything else that stands in their way of controlling everyone.

The stork! . . . . . . . . . . Not really, but I just wanted to see if I got a reaction. Actually, we decided together. We both had a day off and it was convenient. We eloped. I still have the reciept from the JOP: $12.00. I paid two ladies we found on the elevator $2.00 each to be witnesses.

Five and dime. Dime store.

and cat's meow.

Took my Christmas lights (and my last Christmas tree) down 9 years ago after my wife passed. No reason to put them back up again.

Stouffer's creamed chipped beef, two slices of white toast, salt, pepper, Tabasco sauce (or not), coffee and OJ/AJ mix by, and you're of to a decent start. All in under 8 minutes and easy to clean up.

Okay, I kept pushing the Submit Reply button and it didn't appear to be getting transmitted. Posted Just Now message didn't show up and the Submit Reply button kept reappearing. I had no way of knowing if it was taking or not. Maybe I need to clean the chimney and trim the wick.. These old kerosene powered computers aren't all that reliable any more......and I have a dyslexic keyboard.

Old timers will know a lot more. I don't know of any good ones from anyone under about 30-35 years old. Lets' ee what you have. Keep it clean.

There were a lot of swastikas in SE Asia, a holy symbol for at least two cultures over several hundred years.

This entire subject is sad!

Has this message been locked? Or have I personally been blocked from posting a few questions? I can't get a reply to the entire message or any individual response to open. Am I to believe that I have been copyrighted?

This brings up another question: Are the "elsewhere"s also being attacked by theses suits or only those that are firearms related? Are gun sales sites and auction houses being targeted as well? How about The Bluebook, outdoor places selling stuff that is copyrighted, newspapers, magazines, and such also having threats of suits glaring at them? Are ads for second hand items going to be threatened too?

JFWIW, I have a couple of copyrighted books. This my official permission to use either of them without being subject to any legal action. Have a ball with them. Frankly, I can use the publicity!

Gyro JETS? A one time contender for the ugliest gun ever built.

Why waste a bullet. Throw him into one of the fires he started. Be fair: take everything of value that he has and sell it to help offset the cost and throw the rest on the fire, too. Don't release his pictures, name or any other info about him. Deny him any "glory" or recognition whatsoever.and scatter the ashes someplace far away.

I prefer the one I"VE been using since 1942 or soon afterward.

My wife and I watched it every Christmas holiday, too. Usually more than once. Since she passed the dog and I watch it together, but the little dog usually spends the time asleep on my lap.......and that's alright with me.

They look like your average everyday mob bosses to me.

I ain't one of "those people." $200.00 is a weeks worth of groceries and a few other niceties. And I don't know many rich people who got that way by spending money on every "new" toy that comes along. I got to be "less-than-wealthy" the old fashioned way. Job hopping, buying things for my family, and seeing places most folks don't even know exist.

I'm WAY PAST that threshold already. I was born in 1942 and one of the nurses at the VA pointed out that "they don't make parts for that model any more". I do truly love my nurses.

Except for the Ruger I agree with every word. I have two carry pistols depending on the weather and some other factors: a 1947 vintage Colt .38 Detective Special and a Colt .380 Government Model. All of the guns have been tuned by David Fink, the Gunsight Academy armorer and are as good as any out there. The two semi-autos have a few new parts and both have low profile, two color tritium lighted, sights, and sport walnut "double diamond grips. The "Dick Special" has a Tyler "T Grip" attachment and is otherwise stock, and all of my guns are loaded with Hornady Critical Defense ammo. I have no rails, cut-outs, fancy shaped grips, fish scale surfaces, lights, optics, or any other bulky, attention-taking, over priced, "gee whiz" gadgetry. I don't feel the least bit under-gunned for ANY foreseeable situation and while the "Dick Special' was a gift, none of my guns has been even remotely expensive. Probably under $800.00 total in the 1911 and less than $600.00in the .380. have abou $650 in leather for the three together. I'm not criticizing any one for what they want to carry (no matter how foolish and over accessorized I think it is). I choose to spend my money on ammo, shooting accessories, and other necessities....like ranfe fees and memberships.

I'be seen a few Rolls Royces, never a Phantom 2 nor any others that old. I never seen one that made anywhere that much noise.
