Blackwater 53393

It may become entertaining to watch the conflict between the new goobernor and her administration and the state and federal courts!! A big THUMBS UP for the Virginia state courts on this one!!

One of my most recent observations of the phenomenon is that of new pedestrian traffic laws!! More people, these days, are being injured or killed from being struck by vehicles while walking in or crossing the streets and highways! Instead of educating people about the dangers of confrontation with moving automobiles, most municipalities are passing laws giving people the right of way or rescinding laws that require them to use crosswalks and sidewalks! New York City canceled its “Jaywalking” laws, making it legal to walk out into traffic at any point in time or of location with legal impunity, thus making drivers liable for the health and safety of idiots who choose to step out in front of a moving car!! Instead, they should be making it more illegal and doing PSAs illustrating the folly of of such encounters!! However!! On further reflection, the governments of these localities ARE, in a way, supporting natural selection!! They’re actually weeding out some of the most well developed idiots who can’t fathom their own structural inferiority to a four thousand pound car in a collision!😜🙄

Especially at night when I wake up wanting to scratch my right ear!

Three days post surgery! No real pain! Only minor discomfort caused by an itching bandage and a cramp that lasted until I got a Gatorade. Two side effects! The digestive system is really messed up right now and I’m getting a sensation like the missing finger is actually curled up inside the bandage sometimes! It’s kinda weird!

Deep hole!!

It’ll require some thinking…

SCHOOLMARM SAYS THAT THE IDIOTS WON’T APPRECIATE THE PREVIOUS STATEMENT! (I nearly laughed my ass off when she pointed it out!)

When you spend enormous amounts of time and money trying to make the world “IDIOT PROOF”, you only succeed in breeding and cultivating more, and more complete idiots!! It has brought us to a “tipping point” where the silent majority is no longer a majority because we’re becoming outnumbered by idiots!!

Never cared for latrine duty!!

Maybe

Normal is synonymous with average!! It’s based on a median point in expected behavior/perception! Therefore, normal is a direct derivative of majority! I have often seen evidence that those that we tend to ensconse in institutions or ostracize because of behavior or thought not considered “normal” might just possibly be the “sane” ones. A close look at some of our elected officials and the people that elected them serves to justify my observation!! 🤨

Well, I missed the military involvement. That could be part of why I never got out of the car game. My first date with Schoolmarm involved her holding the drop light and handing me tools while I reassembled a four speed transmission while we waited for the stuff on the grill to get done for a cookout! Before Hatfield was born, she drove my V8 powered Vega drag car while I ran my Chevelle! She did pretty good sometimes too!! We mostly ran drag cars, eventually owning a rear engine dragster with big block Chevrolet power. She handled the travel logistics for the multi car race team that I managed and crew chiefed. We only got out of racing when my partners both passed away! I still have hotrods and high performance cars that I work on and play with, but I haven’t messed with any more “sports cars” since before we were married if you don’t count Corvettes.

GOA has a form email that contacts the appropriate legislative representative to voice your support for the bill. Repealing The Hughes Amendment With Your Help! | GOA Whether or not you think your congress person would support the bill, you should send the email.

You’d better be ready to shoot all sorts of different guns and different types of guns if you shoot the HUMDINGER!! 😜

Suggestion!! Have someone take a picture from the side of you holding the pistol in position to fire it and download it to the forum in this thread. There are lots of folks here that can help, but a picture is extremely helpful in a situation like this.

I know of several shooters, including myself, who carried a “break top” revolver for the occasional pistol reload stage! I had a pair of S&W .44 Russian revolvers that I used to shoot regularly and I took them to every match that I attended for years until I decided to shoot in the Frontiersman category exclusively for several years! That is one set of pistols I wish I hadn’t let get away.

You might try adjusting your grip. Any of the standard hammer configurations should NOT touch the web of your hand at full cock if you have smaller hands and are holding the gun correctly. I have much larger than average hands and have never encountered this problem. On a standard Colt or Colt copy, your little finger should probably slide under the bottom of the grip frame unless you have VERY small hands. The hammer spurs ln some of my revolvers are actually lowered considerably and still don’t hit the web of my hands, even when fired! The answer to your question about modifying the hammer is a qualified YES, you are allowed to modify the hammers on your pistols within certain limits. You’re also allowed to make other internal modifications such as lightening the hammer spring tension. Judicious reading and study of the rules pertaining to gun modification is called for here!! Pull up a copy of the Shooter’s Handbook and read it carefully, and then ask more questions!!

Had a 61 MGA that my dad bought wrecked with the clutch locked up. It ran but couldn’t be driven because you couldn’t shift gears. I fooled around and got the clutch unstuck, (it has apparently rusted to the flywheel) and we fixed the wreck damage and painted the car. The damage had been minor and we gave it an all over paint job with twenty coats of black lacquer, hand rubbed between coats. We replaced the side curtains and rebuilt the SU carbs, swapped out all the Lucas electricals, and had the back bumper straightened and rechromed. My dad sold it the day before I got my driver’s license!😡 Later, I picked up a Triumph TR4. The engine was shot and I couldn’t find one for it, so I swapped in a nice little 283 Chevy engine and an automatic. The stock tires couldn’t handle the power, so I mounted some 15” Corvette rally wheels and wide tires. I knew better than to try to launch it from a stop with the stock rear end, but it still ran crazy fast once you got it moving! Sold it to a college kid who had more money than sense, for more than I had in it and went and bought a new Chevy Nova the next day. Those are the only two British cars I ever owned. I drove quite a few, but never owned any others. I got to drive a hopped up Mini Cooper at an autocross one time. It was like driving a rocket propelled roller skate!!😜

*PHOTO TIP* Place the price tag beneath the gun and take complete pictures! It’s not a bad looking revolver! I have successfully shot 7” guns in the past and been competitive, but it requires practice and technique. If you like the gun and the price suits you…

SOMETIMES, not always but sometimes, COOL is worth the price!! In the world of British sports cars, the four wheeled Morgans are just DAMNED COOL!! 😎

On two separate occasions, I shot 40 guns in a ten stage match! That’s ten different rifles, ten different shotguns, and twenty different pistols! That’s also never handling the same firearm more than one time! The first time was at the Regulators’ Reckoning, the Tennessee State SASS Championship, which I shot in the 49er category. The second time I did it was at The Black Gold Shootout, which I shot as an Elder Statesman!

Hope springs eternal…

This legislation should fly through Congress and land on the president’s desk like a ton of bricks!!

I financed one of my own!🤣

Sure goin’ ta’ complicate shootin’ Gunfighter! 🙄
