  1. Major League Baseball first placed steroids on its banned substances list in 1991, but did not test or enforce the rule at that time.

    So on paper they were “banned,” but in practice nothing happened if a player used them.

     

    Key milestones:

     

    • 1991 – MLB adds steroids to its drug policy (no testing, no penalties).
    • 2003 – MLB begins anonymous survey testing to see how widespread steroid use is.
    • 2004 – Real testing and penalties for the first time (suspensions introduced).
    • 2005 – Penalties strengthened (10-game suspension for first offense, later increased).

     

     

    So: Steroids were officially banned in 1991, but effectively enforced starting in 2004.

    They'll only take it you put a price tag on it.

    Not here, they take just about anything! I’ve never put anything out with a price on it!

    Im still a member but I can't say Proud anymore 😢

    I can't say if I will ever give them a penny again. 

     

    Too much corruption. 

     

    Too many of them knew what

    was going on for a very long time.

     

    Too many other places to spend money on firearm rights that is way more transparent with finances .

     

    My six Grandsons are life members. 

    Hopefully one day the NRA will gain the trust of that new generation of members and turn the reputation back around for the good .

     

    I highly doubt they will ever regain my respect of the organization again .

     

    Its a lot easier to talk the talk then it is to walk the walk .

    I understand your frustration but from what I’ve read they got rid of the corruption. New faces, new players.

  4. Yea I think so as well. From what I understand in court it was found they did nothing wrong during the time they were supposedly on steroids.  Legally they were found not guilty but as far as MLB goes it’s still in question! 
     

  5. The one gun I regret getting rid of was a Colt 1917. It was in .45 acp with moon clips. I sold it to pay for a Colt SAA .I miss that gun, shoulda kept it.

    They can be destructive little bastiges! 

    Yes they can, my son had to hire a varmint control company to get rid of a momma raccoon trying to get in his house on the roof near the chimney. She was pregnant!

  7. Raccoons have opposable thumbs I assume, otherwise how did he open the bottles? Maybe he broke them ? 
    Well Chatgbt says this:

     

    Not true opposable thumbs like humans — but almost.

     

    Raccoons do not have opposable thumbs, but their front paws are incredibly dexterous. Each paw has five long, flexible digits that can move independently, allowing them to:

     

    • open latches and jars
    • untie knots
    • manipulate objects with surprising precision
    • “feel” textures extremely well (their sense of touch is unusually advanced)

     

     

    So while they can’t pinch with a true thumb, their paws function a lot like tiny, very clever hands — which is why they can break into things so easily.

    in my humble opp=inion , there is very little difference , a little felt recoil depending on what you load , there will be a lot of opinions on this and i stand willing to hear all as well as consider all adjustments that might add to my enjoyment here because i know there are many here that have far mnore experience with this bullet - i shoot more 45s than 38s , 

     

    however , its the loading that may give you motre pause , the OAL of your completed cartridge needs to run in your rifle as well as your revolvers - unless you load seperately for each , i dont i run one single setup and never worry if ive got enough orthe right ones at the loading table ,

    I was just thinking about Roy Rogers.

     

    When they decided to make Roy Rogers the King of the Cowboys and Dale Evans the Queen of the West, they figured it would not be a problem because Dale was from Texas. Of course she knew how to ride a horse.

     

    Uhhh, no. Texas yes, but a city girl.

     

    But I understand their reasoning. It just seems that somebody from Texas should be at home on a horse. No reason, but it just SEEMS that it should be.

    Roy was from Cincinnati!
