Non Violent. Like burglars, car thieves, drug dealers etc?

I assume this is in reference to a felony conviction where the person loses their rights to a firearm? I have mixed feelings about this one.

Space flight and exploration is very expensive, but I have never considered it a waste of money. I am grateful for all the fearless people who have climbed into a rocket for the sake of science. Money well spent.

Unless the gun was suspected of being connected to a crime, they would just put it in the evidence room for the owner or next of kin. We didn't routinely run ballistics on every gun we recovered. The crime lab didn't have the manpower to do that kind of volume.

I've got one that has been shortened to 18". It's still the heaviest gun I own. It's fun to shoot but very stiff and very heavy. You will win style points but that's about all you'll win with it. I bought mine off another cowboy about 10 years ago for $400, if that helps any.

The effect will be that officers will be encouraged to stand by and not get physically involved when someone is being violent or combative or escaping. If they do assault an officer, the officer will be fully aware that the suspect will not get prosecuted. Officer or officers will tempted to fully stomp the suspect's a$$ right there on the spot. This bill will encourage either a lack of enforcement or street justice. Neither outcome is what the citizens want.

You're not moving to France too, are you?

The Dillon XL750 is a very capable press. Setting it up is not cheap but you only have to cry once. Get an extra 4 pack of small primer tubes. The roller handle is nice. The case feeder with the large pistol disk is also needed. There are any number of other additions and improvements that you can get from ebay. Spent primer capture tube, powder measure quick release, primer stop switch, bearing kit to smooth up the cartridge disk. A powder check is also nice. I use the RCBS lockout die but Dillon makes one too with an audible alarm. The bullet tray is also useful but not entirely necessary along with various lighting systems. Welcome to the Blue addiction.

While there are some famous gunsmiths around the country that sell slicked up rifles, I would opt for a local gunsmith to do the work if there is one available. That way if you have a problem in the future, you can take it to them without spending a fortune on shipping. Ask around your local Cowboy matches and find out who does good work locally. You might be surprised what you find.

I think we are going to need to put bubble wrap around your and Drake's camper steps. Maybe some of those Amazon packing peanuts. Lots of them.

I'm buying these bullets for $30/500 from Outlaw bullets. The 38 special brass is about .05 each. $25.00 Total about $55.00

I'll 2nd the Pig Iron targets. You'll find his targets at clubs all over the southeast. Our club has 40 of them.

For many years, it wasn't worth my time to reload shotgun shells. I always bought new by the case. Since the shortages and price increases blamed on the pandemic, it has become worth my time. I now reload shotgun shells for about 1/2 what the cost of new is.

Now they have to reprint all that stationary....again.

I'm pretty sure that putting a 7 year old in a dragster that will go 85 mph is a bad idea.

I spent 35 years, 3 weeks and 2 days as a sworn law enforcement officer. I worked all hours in all weather conditions with below market pay. I worked a lot of part time security jobs to make ends meet and I had to be a financial wizard to provide for my family and send 2 kids through college with no student loans. I was able to retire at age 55 with a pretty good pension and I don't feel guilty at all about it. Over the years, I've been to more than a few funerals of friends that weren't so lucky.

I have 3 of the 100's. Whenever I find one at a pawn shop or gun store for less than $1,000, I buy it. Getting hard to find but they do show up from time to time.

Georgia Arms sells 38 special, 125 or 158 gr, for $25.00/50 rounds. They are lead only bullets, not polycoated. They go to a lot of gun shows around the Georgia area.

There's not enough room on the pocket card for every exception. Sometimes you have to consult the experts or break out the book.

The only thing i know about the wife’s purse is that it’s important for the purse and wallet to match. Some things you just don’t question, I’m told.

See. I told you it was an expensive slippery slope. Choose wisely.

While every one of my match guns have been gunsmithed, I caution you on spending a lot of money on action work before you have some experience shooting matches. it's a costly slippery slope and only time will tell what guns you will settle on. Shoot what you have for now and see what other shooters are using. You may decide you want to get a whole different set of guns or calibers.

I don't think I've ever even seen a snow blower for sale. We get a little snow every once in a while but it's usually gone by lunch time.

We use the Federal Senior Golden Age pass as often as we can. 1/2 price at all Federal campgrounds including Corp of Engineer parks and free admission into Federal parks. We usually stay at a COE park or state park when possible.

I actually have a pair of Ruger Blackhawks that came with the 9 mm cylinders in addition to the .357 mag. cylinders. One of the many things I have collected, just because... I've considered shooting 9 mm during a monthly match but since I shoot Gunfighter, the adjustable sighted Blackhawks are illegal for my category. They would be acceptable is most of the standard categories. Wrangler, 49er, Senior etc. You would need a lead only .356 diameter bullet somewhere in the 115-125 gr range. I load all my pistol rounds with Titegroup but there are many powders that would work. All 9 mm use the small pistol primer.
