We had shock plates in the front of our vests. It was right over the heart and breast bone. The vest may keep the bullet from penetrating but you still absorb all the impact. We had several officers saved by the vest. They sure are hot and uncomfortable but good insurance.

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?

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 just signed up. Looking forward to getting the shooting season started.

It's about time you gave up your squaw gripping ways.

I certainly don't have any problem with the steampunk category. It's just a costume category. If it keeps the game fun for them, well, mission accomplished. I'm thinking that the Gunfighter prohibition is an attempt by Rolan to keep us undesirables out of his category.

I counted 47 California felonies in my gun safe. I guess I'd better not move to NY either.

I was in Bass Pro Shop, Duluth, Ga. this evening and they had pallets of Winchester AA for $89 a case. All you wanted. I bought a case of Winchester target loads for $65 a case for Wild Bunch shooting. Don't need those fancy AA shells for the pump.

After the stuff I saw our Intel people do with Facebook pages, I decided that there was no way I was ever going to put my life on the internet FOREVER.

Don't worry. I won't lose any sleep over it. But in case any of you feel the need, the following is from the Go Fund me page for the "deceased armed robber". Donovan was called home on December 26, 2016. This is a very tragic and unexpected blow for the family. He was very loved by the community and family. We are asking for friends , family and anyone who had love for Donovan. To help out any way they can. Everything is greatly appreciated. Help spread the word!

Thank God for Good Samaritans.

Just compare the news babes from Fox news to the trolls on CNN or MSNBC.

Pretty much any sound bar will be a vast improvement over the tv speakers. The flat screen tv's do no have enough room in them for the thicker speakers that bass requires. We bought a sound bar for about $79 and it made a lot of difference. You can spend as much as you want on one.

They are also stealing manhole covers. Often with the utility or city name on them. The scrap metal dealers don't seem to care. We had problems several years ago with people going into foreclosed houses and stripping the wiring and copper plumbing out. They would destroy the house in the process to get several hundred dollars worth of scrap metal. They were cutting catalytic converters off of certain types of SUV's for their titanium content and pulling the wiring out of light poles on the interstate. There is no end to the ways someone will go to make a crooked dollar.

I'm innocent I say. I ain't done noth'n. I want my lawyer and I want to see the video.

I'm glad to see that Craftsman tools is establishing a market outside of Sears and Kmart. Those two boats are sinking fast. Craftsman makes some fine hand tools. I hope they survive. As far as Sears and Kmart, well, I'll never miss them.

I think Birdgun nailed a big part of the problem. I can't imagine trying to police in that environment.

I retired at 55 years and 3 days. From the looks of things, I got out just in time. Now I spend my time camping, cowboy shooting and taking naps. Pensacola this Winter, Yellowstone next Summer and Key West next Winter. I've got to go qualify Thursday so I can keep my nationwide carry rights. Busy, busy, busy.
