For those, like me, that wondered why NO LONGER APPROVED https://talesfromthesupplydepot.blog/2017/09/20/mk-vii-303-rounds/ >Although a full metal jacketed round (and thus legal under The Hague Convention), the MK VII had a light-weight aluminium tip and a much denser lead base. Therefore although the round travelled through the air as normal, on contact with a human being the distribution of weight caused it to tumble making far more grievous wounds.<

There seem to be so many strange superstitions about knives. I had someone hand me their pocket knife one time, and when I was through with whatever I needed to cut, I closed the knife to hand it back. He wouldn't take it. I had to give it back the same way he gave it to me - in this case with the blade open. This kind of went against my boy scout training. I was sitting here thinking - I have given knives as presents to my mother, my ex-wife, my daughter, my two stepdaughters, my stepson, and both granddaughters. Never given a knife to non family. Thinking on it, I suppose I consider a knife too personal to give to non-family. It's like a gun I suppose. I've given away many guns. I'll waste of family. otto, otto, otto. ALWAYS TO FAMILY, you flippin' moron.

Never heard of such a thing. I gave her one of those little Swiss Army knives for her birthday 3 or 4 years back. Knife and nail file and toothpick and tweezers. And last summer it was in her purse when she went through TSA, so she no longer had the knife. And she was bummed about that. Yesterday was her birthday and her boyfriend gave her this thing, as a replacement for the knife she no longer had. It's pretty. A wee bit larger than the original.

Second question. Once you have testified, do they put you back in the witness room, or can you sit in the courtroom and watch the rest of the trial? Occasionally in a movie or TV show they will recall a witness. And it seems that if they let the witness sit in the courtroom and listen to everybody else, and then they recall him, that kind of defeats the purpose of sequestering him to begin with. In this British movie they sent them back to the witness room.

The Winchester 1886 - the original, not a Browning or Uberti or Pedersoli copy - was available in 50/110 Express. That's the only 50 caliber cartridge I've ever heard of chambered in a lever, and that's the only lever gun I've ever heard of chambered in a 50 caliber cartridge. Never heard of a 50/70 chambered in any sort of repeater.

My granddaughter received one for her birthday. Looks nice, but all I can find of it on a search goes back to the same Amazon page. He's got mostly five star reviews, but everyone that reviewed it was given a free knife. Everyone. All 11 reviews. Anyone ever heard of it? Or even better have some experience with one?

I thank all y'all.

That was my first thought when the commercial started. Sig is Swiss. Saure is German. And the commercial starts AS AMERICANS WE HAVE ALWAYS... Funny. I didn't think the Swiss or the Germans were Americans.

Or the baby poo.

I'm watching a British murder trial, and all of the witnesses are sitting in another room. So prosecution witness number three doesn't get to hear what number two and number one said. That way what they said won't in any way change his testimony. This makes great sense to me. But that's not how they do it on Perry Mason. So in an American criminal trial, do they keep the witnesses segregated so they cannot hear what previous witnesses testified?

If, instead of slicing it on the top and squirting in the cream filling, they poke the nozzle in the side and filled it up with cream filling, it would be a cream filled donut. I prefer Bavarian cream myself, to whatever this white stuff is in the picture.

Nonsense. That could not be an assault weapon. It is not a semi-automatic with a detachable magazine and a pistol grip.

Cole Younger. Jesse James was Robert Duvall. And Mr Duvall played a beautiful sociopathic lunatic.

Her little dog. I would be interested to see her big dog.

LAAW? I thought that was a Light Anti-tank Weapon - LAW. What's the other A for?

https://tortoisegear.com/product/firefly-3-pack/ It's one of those Ferro Flint fire starter rods - well actually it's a three pack of them - that's made to replace the toothpick in a Swiss Army knife. So if you have your Swiss army knife with you you've always got your fire starter. Seems a little pricey, at 5 and 1/2 bucks each. But I guess if you're lost in the woods in the cold and you ain't got a match, five bucks is cheap.

I've opened many a can with the can opener on my Boy Scout knife. Not as many but still often with the can opener on my Leatherman. But after hearing all the old soldiers brag about the p-38, I got one. I managed to get the can open, but damn that was a pain. I'll just make sure I've always got my Boy Scout knife in my pocket, if I don't have access to my swing away. Would have probably been easier to take the can out and rub it back and forth on the driveway.
