There are some people that carry a gun all the time. Not just when they're not at the house - all the time. So if they were sitting down to supper, for example, and somebody kicked in their front door, they've got a gun to shoot the home invader. There are other people who don't wish to carry a gun all the time, and instead they have guns stashed here and there throughout their house. So if they were cooking supper and someone kicked in the front door, there's a pistol over there next to the microwave. If they're taking a shower when the door is kicked in, there's a pistol in the medicine cabinet. My question is for those people. Do you keep spare ammunition with the gun? I thought of this one night while watching NCIS (oh god, not another damn NCIS question). This was the end of season 13 or 14 - Ziva came back. She was supposed to be dead, and Gibbs is down in the basement working on something, and she comes tripping lightly down the stairs. That's how the episode ended and that was the last episode in that year. The next year it picks up there and we find out that someone is trying to kill her and they have decided to go after Gibbs. Because of his and her relationship. I think they wanted to kidnap him to use him as a hostage to get her. I think. Regardless. While they are down in the basement the bad guys come in upstairs and start shooting. Ziva returns fire. Gibbs opens the secret drawer under the workbench and pulls out an automatic of some sort - he used to have a two and a half inch Model 66, but he has upgraded. And they both shoot like they've got all the ammunition in the world - bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang. Then Ziva asks if Gibbs has any spare ammo. He says no - didn't she have any? She said that she was traveling light, whatever that means. If you don't have very much ammunition don't act like your pistol is a machine gun. But I digress. So there they are down in the basement. Two pistols, no ammo. Hmmm. That seems kind of dumb. Now there is spare ammunition - 15 to 20 rounds average - next to every pistol I have stashed in the house. Except the one automatic but I only have one magazine for it so hopefully nobody breaks in while I'm in that bathroom because I've only got nine rounds.

It's interesting how many people harp on that "the patent drawing shows it going over the top", so that must be the way it's supposed to go. These are, mostly, the same people that will inform you that "that is not a pistol, it is a revolver", even though when Colonel Colt patented it, he called it a "revolving pistol". The toilet paper patent is absolutely cannot be argued with, while the pistol patent is nonsense to be ignored.

The English used the term kit, or kit bag, for your knapsack or your haversack. There was a song, long about World War I. PACK UP YOUR TROUBLES IN YOUR OLD KIT BAG, AND SMILE SMILE SMILE. Have an hour boys (ding dang it, otto, I said WHEN OUR BOYS. Quit changing my words) came home from "over there", that was a bit of British slang they brought with them. So if they were going off into the woods fishing or hiking instead of getting their backpack or their knapsack, they would get their kit bag. Smith & Wesson started making a pistol - a 22 long rifle on a 32 Smith & Wesson long frame. They called it the 22/32 kit gun. Because it was small and easy to stash in your kit bag. In reality that is the only "kit gun" because they own the trade name. But lots of people refer to small easily carried, normally 22, revolvers as kit guns.

When I was in elementary school you could wear anything basically. But the family that lived behind us - their kids were older and went to Junior high School. Where they had to wear slacks and white shirts and neckties. I was not looking forward to Junior high. But here I started junior high they had changed the dress code. Now you could basically wear anything. Although Friday was dress up day, which required slacks, a white shirt, and a necktie.

Interestingly, although it has the transfer bar like all the other New Model guns, you can't load it by just opening the loading gate. You have to put it on halfcock.

Actually that is a "New Bearcat", as you can see if you blow the picture up. Plainly marked right there above the trigger. Bearcat 2nd issue The Bearcat 2nd issue was marketed in 1971 as an improved version of the original Bearcat, and renamed the Super Bearcat; it featured an all-steel frame rather than an alloy frame. Bearcat 3rd issue The Bearcat 3rd issue, also known as the New Bearcat, is Ruger's reintroduced model which came out in 1993. It features smooth rosewood grips with a Ruger medallion embedded. The New Bearcat also incorporated Ruger's new transfer bar safety system.

Did they cut it out because it was too too bad? Or am I having a hallucination? Because I thought one was "picked the wrong week to quit shooting heroin", and that wasn't in the clip.

I believe we are speaking of two different things. Now maybe a Nambu works like a Ruger - I could not tell you, having never handled a Nambu. It is quite possible old Bill copied the internal workings. But the argument I have always understood when people talk about "he used the Nambu" or "he used to Luger", is the look. The shape of the grip. And that's what I was pointing out. That he used that shape long before he was making pistols.

Thank you. I was trying to figure out what that was supposed to be.

Few years ago I read an article about "why Hollywood won't use Raven Symone anymore". If the name does not sound familiar, when Rudy got too old to be cute on The Cosby show Denise married a divorce father with custody, so they had this other little cute 5-year-old girl. And she grew up and went to work for the Disney channel. I think she was on The View for a little while. And then she just kind of - disappeared. She said there were three reasons why she had trouble finding work. She refused to say she was African-American. "I've never been to Africa. I'm American. So what if my skin is a little darker than yours. So what if my facial features are different than yours. So what if my hair texture is different than yours. I'm American. Not African." That's a big plus. Then she said that she refused to say that Cosby tried to molest her when she was on the show. She said he didn't. But because Cosby was "an evil sexual predator", the powers that be in the entertainment industry wanted her to jump in and say that he tried to do something to little five year old Raven. She said it never happened, and she wouldn't say it did. So that's two big pluses. And the third reason was she refused to get out and join with the gay pride and the lgbq whatever. Apparently the lady is a lesbian. But she said that who she dates, who she lives with, who she's married to - ain't nobody's business but hers. And she refused to join in to the "we're here, we're queer, get over it!" group. I thought all three of those reasons were excellent ways to think. And if it made it difficult for her to find a job, and she still has those ideas and reactions - more power to her.

I've heard both the Luger and the Nambu. But before he was making guns he made a drill. And amazingly, even though it is neither a Luger nor a Nambu nor even a firearm, it looks like a Ruger 22 automatic pistol. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ruger+hand+drill&t=fpas&iar=images I don't think he based his 22 on either one of the axis pistols. I think he designed it on what felt good in his hand. And if that happened to look like somebody else's gun - well, stuff happens.

Back when I was 14 some little kid called me "evil n word". I just kind of looked at him. I'm white. I don't think he knew what the word meant. He just knew it was a nasty thing to call somebody.

2 hours ago, when you posted, Instagram was doing its normal thing - would not open for me. I tried again just now and it opened. And that was quite interesting. Not being a baseball fan, I don't care about a torpedo bat. But that was still quite interesting.

I bought one for my granddaughter. And then I had a custom holster made. I told the guy it was for a Bearcat - the smaller Ruger single action. Apparently he was unaware that the Bearcat existed. He made it for a five and a half inch single six. So I bought her a five and a half inch single six, and I kept the Bearcat. That makes sense to everybody, doesn't it?

I hang my towels with the towel at the back, just like I do my toilet paper. Has nothing to do with cats. When I have how many or how much I want, I jerk the paper sharply up and across. The paper tears at the perforation, as it presses against the remaining roll. And if, perchance, it does not tear, but pulls more paper out, I just slap the top of the roll towards me and the excess paper rolls back up. You can't do that if it comes down the front. It takes two hands to tear it off - one to tear and the other to hold the roll, and if you get too much, it is a pain to roll it back on. My way is the intelligent way, but so many people can't see that. That's an advantage to living alone - no arguments about how something is done.
