I can see why they would want to do that.
I can also see the police coming down and putting handcuffs on them and taking them to jail, and the judge telling them that not only did they have to clean up all the trash out of the yard, but they would have to pay for a gardener to come in and redo the lawn that has been destroyed.
Because what they did is call vandalism, and the last time I looked it was a crime.

I guess that would be today.

It comes with a bird on the barrel?

This question has nothing to do with CAS.
You wish to buy a lever action rifle, in what is currently known as a "handgun caliber".
What cartridge would you choose? What barrel length would you choose?
This is just something that would be handy slid under your leg on a saddle or tucked behind the seat on your pickup truck.
Guy on another board is talking about a 16-inch stainless Rossi he got from Steve Young, that was beed-blasted when he got it. Looked really nice in the picture. 45 Colt.
I wouldn't choose 45 Colt myself. Fine pistol cartridge, but it would not be my first choice for a lever gun.
My first choice would be one of the tapered WCF rounds, which might be why I have three 32/20s and two 44/40s.
My first-ever lever was a Rossi in 357 that I bought in about 97 on the advice of Jeff Cooper. The day I took it home my daughter picked it up and immediately laid claim to it. Of course I laughed at her. But I gave it to her one day. I do miss that gun.
That's probably what prompted this post. I still have a yen for a 357.

A beer so nasty they advertise that you need to put fruit in it to make it drinkable.

Can't take all the blame. Mexico exports Corona.

Are you supposed to always wear gloves when handling evidence?
For example - if I was being searched and they found a bag of drugs in my pocket, so they just took them out of my pocket with their little bare hands, then I could insist that the reason their fingerprints were on it was because they had planted it on me. So when they removed the bag of drugs from my pocket they should have been wearing gloves.
Right?

Now there's something I had not considered. I'm most definitely not thinking of industrial size baking batches.
I can see doing something wrong and the cake fell, or slamming the oven door and the cake fell, or slamming the front door and the cake fell.
But if what you were making fell, it all fell. Not part of it.
By the same token if you forgot to put in the correct amount of leavening, and it did not rise, it would all "not rise".
But if you're baking 20 dozen, so you've got at least 10 batches of batter, and you screwed up one, so everybody got to share the nasty ones, instead of throwing out the ones that fell and making another batch.

Regarding dropped/ejected rounds...suggest reading the Ammunition Conventions section on p.28 of the SHB.
The shooter may retrieve them if done safely.
Is this a recent - or at least fairly recent - change? My little problem with jamming and clearing the jam and ammo on the ground took place in 2003.
Some things stay with you. After my little jamming problem, I was standing by my cart bitching to myself because I did not have enough ammunition. I had brought the Rossi as a backup and I had only brought one box of shells and you can't do a 11-stage match with 50 rounds.
Apparently I was talking a little louder than I thought I was and Duke Chisholm
(First in line there) Came over and handed me a box of Black Hills 44/40. Told me not to worry - that he had brought plenty. About a half hour later I saw him in a sutler's tent buying a box of 44/40.

Or maybe censors is a better word.
Most of the YouTube shorts have subtitles. I was watching one the other day - Chato's Land. Charles Bronson western where he is a half breed, who made the audacious move as to attempt to get a drink in the saloon.
While all the white people in the saloon was laughing at this enjoyable spectacle, the sheriff informed him that this was a white man's bar served white man's liquor.
"Do you hear me you damned red (evil n word)?"
He said it. You could clearly hear him say it. But the subtitles just left it off.
There are a lot of videos of Dave Chappelle stand-up routines. He uses the word constantly, and he will say something like, "I called him on the phone and I said hey (evil n word) what's up?" And the subtitles will say, "I called him on the phone and I said hey ______ what's up?" You clearly hear him say it, but they leave it out of the subtitles.
I was watching one the other day and the guy had a gun in his hand. It was obvious he had a gun. But from about halfway down his forearm to maybe six inches past the end of his fingers it had been pixelated out, so you could not see the gun.
I was watching another one where a guy had been in a car wreck and his face was all bloody. And they pixelated out his face so you could not see the blood.
And I see more and more like this. And I just wonder if YouTube is doing it, or if the dummies that are posting them are doing it?
