[I wonder what they would do?]

Just random wonderings tonight. On another board a guy posted a picture of a 15 round Glock magazine and at the top of it it said government only. He didn't know what that was about.

 

Obviously a young guy.

 

And I explained to him the assault weapon ban and the 10 round magazine law.

 

But after 04, when the ban went away, they sold government marked magazines to anybody.

 

The antis are struggling hard to bring back the assault weapons ban.

 

And I just wondered what they would do - if that ban came back - about all those government marked magazines floating around. I myself have 10 Ruger magazines that are marked law enforcement use only.

 

Would I have to turn them in? If I did not turn them in, would they be considered contraband and if I was caught with them I would be arrested for breaking the assault weapon ban??

 

Like I said - just random wonderings.

[44-40 Star Line Case Splits]

Gun shop I used to live at. They carried Hornady 44/40. One customer had a Henry, and would come in at least once a month and buy a box of shells and go out on the range and shoot his rifle.

 

And he would carefully pick up all his brass and put it back in the box and deposit it in the trash can. After he would leave I would go out on the range and take that box of brass out of the garbage.

 

Someone apparently told him I was doing this, because he stopped throwing it in the trash, and he would bring it up to the counter and put the box of empties on the counter and say "give this to the guy that collects these".

 

So I had several hundred rounds of Hornady 44/40 brass. All once fired.

 

And much of it split on the second firing - longitudinal splits, running from the shoulder back to the rim. And many of the ones that did not split on the second firing split on the third.

 

So I would use the Hornady brass any place that I shot a lost brass match. I carefully painted the head black with a magic marker, so I would know to only use that in my rifle. I would put the Starline in my pistols.

 

Truthfully that kind of soured me on Hornady brass.

Further evidence, if any was needed, to show that hanging by your feet, upside down, in a place where it gets extremely hot in the winter messes with your brain.

 

 

Australian beef casserole????

 

Anybody with one eye and half sense can tell that that is beef stew.

 

Casserole.

[this is sort of interesting]

I'm rewatching the Harry Potter movies. Just now as I was setting up number three - got to set the languages, so I can turn the closed captioning on because I'm old and deaf and can't hear what they're saying.

 

But one of the spoken language choices was French (Dubbed in Quebec).

 

Dubbed in Quebec?

 

So they're not speaking French? They're speaking Quebecois. And as I'm sure anyone in France will tell you, that is not French. Hell, might as well dub it in Bienville Parish Louisiana, or in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Wouldn't either one of them be French. Not really.

[I have a medical question - drugs]

BC pills would never be in a bottle. Bubble packs, 21 hormone pills and 7 placebos per month.

 

 

That's one of the things I do know about birth control pills. But the guy in the book - a fiction novel not real - would take them out of whatever packaging they came in and dump them in the bottle, because it made it easier for him to store them until he had enough to take to Italy, and then it made it easier for him to pass him off to the girl at the Italian airport.

 

I know this is not how the pharmaceutical company that made them packaged them, but this is what the smuggler did in the not real, fiction, novel.

[I have a medical question - drugs]

Specifically, birth control pills.

 

Now aspirin is aspirin is aspirin. It doesn't matter whether I'm taking Bayer or St Joseph's or Equate store brand. A five-grain aspirin tablet is a 5-grain aspirin tablet.

 

Are birth control pills like that?

 

One of Dick Francis's murder mysteries. An airplane pilot is smuggling birth control pills into Italy. Because Italy is a Catholic country and birth control is illegal.

 

So his sister - her husband just got deployed and he won't be back for 6 months. She doesn't need her pills. Gives them to him. One of his sister's friends has decided she wants to have a baby so she doesn't need her pills, and she gives them to the sister who gives them to him. And he dumped them all in a big pill bottle. And when the bottle was full, on his next trip to Italy he took it with him and passed it off to this girl at the airport. And she would give them to her friends so they would not be having a baby every year.

 

But let's suppose that there are five different brands of pills in that bottle.

 

On Monday Gina takes a pill A. Tuesday and Wednesday she takes a B. Thursday she takes another A, but Friday she takes D and Saturday she takes a C.

 

Would they all work like that?

 

It's a great plot device for the story, but in reality would they work? Or do you have to stick with brand A, and it builds up in your system? So you can't be using A one day and C the next and then maybe taking an F?

I didn't notice it so much in the 13 minute slow motion, but the 14 minute slow motion - look at that barrel flex!

The site I stole that from, somebody responded that it did not matter how much Cool whip you used, it would still be nasty.

 

Apparently he did not like pumpkin.

[Lancaster Pistols]

The first time Buffalo Bill's Wild West went to London with Little Sure Shot, whoever it was it was running Lancaster at the time got in touch with her. Told her that she would shoot her shotguns better if it fit her. And invited her to come to the factory where he made her a gun that fit her.

 

She liked the way it fit so well that she had all of her long guns - rifle and shotgun - set up the same way.

These were pretty good for 'man wearing holstered pistol' 100% fake......who would pick them? 

 

 

 

 

The first picture - the pistol looks wrong. Mostly because the cocking serrations are running the wrong way. But it just looks wrong.

 

The second picture - the gun is much better. But I have never seen a shirt with pockets on both left and right side that did not have a flap. Most shirts with pockets that have open top pockets have one on the left side. I have seen "golf shirts" that have one open top pocket on the right side. But I have never seen the shirt with two open top pockets. Every shirt I've seen with pockets on both sides the pockets have had flaps.

 

The third picture - I could not find anything wrong with it. It looks like an actual photograph.
