  1. Palmetto State Armory is just as bad. Had to move them into the spam blocker.
  2. I logged 11 days aboard the troopships USS General Mann and 8 days aboard the USS General Mitchell before I was 8 years old - as one of two-dozen or so dependents. The other passengers were Marines. That’s how we transited the Pacific in the late ‘50s & early ’60s.
  3. Gallopita gallopita machine Is also a nickname for the North American T-28 Trojan.
  4. And to underscore one of my other posts and the NR column, another shooting has occurred at a Waffle House in Indianapolis. One dead, 5 wounded after an altercation among two groups. No need to read an entire article about it. It’s the same as all the others thru the years. “Police said two groups of people were involved in an altercation inside and outside the Waffle House before the shooting happened. Investigators are still searching the area for witnesses.” -Fox News
  5. Interesting article from the National Review. It’s maddening that more in the press/MSM won’t do more than repeat the usual dogma. https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/on-the-peculiar-coverage-of-the-kansas-city-shooting/
  6. Oh Lydia, oh, Lydia, say have you met Lydia Oh, Lydia, the tattooed lady She has eyes that folks adore so And a torso even more so Lydia, oh, Lydia, that encyclopedia Oh, Lydia, the queen of them all On her back is the Battle of Waterloo Beside it the Wreck of the Hesperus too And proudly above the waves The Red, White and Blue You can learn a lot from Lydia
  7. Hmmm. Maybe if I acted this way the liberals would leave me alone?
  8. The kids have been charged. See the AP link above.
  9. https://apnews.com/article/chiefs-super-bowl-parade-shooting-kansas-city-278e2d3e2cfece1cbe958511e54127ad The only thing unusual about this event is that it’s getting national attention. This crap happens all too frequently here. Usually it’s a group of two dozen or fewer young thugs, with 2 or 3 shooting at one another, mostly striking a handful of bystanders. The other dynamic is that everyone including bystanders all know one another and won’t snitch. Everyone scatters when the shooting starts. Lots of witnesses, but nobody will talk which makes law enforcement almost impossible. Lots of drive-by shootings here too. But that’s another topic.
  10. As I understand it, the main concern is with antibiotics as they can increase the risk of drug-resistant strains developing in our drinking water.
  11. No color bullets or nickel brass for me. I use a sharpie to mark the head stamp side of the case with an X for BP, a single slash for subs, and nothing for smokeless. They’re easy to mark once loaded into those 50 or 100-count boxes nose down. Haven’t had a mixup in the 14 years I’ve been loading them.
  12. Huh? There weren’t any entrances, it was the end of a parade route. The only barricades present were to block auto traffic.
  13. I dunno, 800 LEOs vs hundreds of thousands of revelers? Unless our society is willing to accept safety perimeters and checkpoints, these kinds of events are going to occur. Even with those measures, it’ll occur anyway. Our society is that sick.
  14. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Doesn’t matter how much security there is.
  15. https://apnews.com/article/chiefs-super-bowl-parade-shooting-kansas-city-62e69a17b469b854afd7bcc3f548d1fc The first paragraph could be a cut and paste from a number of like events from our town. It’s distressingly common here as well as the rest of urban America.
  16. Alan Harton did mine, but that was 15 years ago, so I don’t know if he’s still in business. I’m reasonably sure I have a receipt with his contact info if you’d like that. As I recall, he was in the Atlanta area.
  17. Can’t speak for your measures, but they run fine though my Hornady. APP is prone to clumping, so be sure you break those up before pouring. That’s my experience with the older formulation, perhaps the newer stuff has eliminated that problem. Much is said about 777 being so much hotter than real BP. I don’t notice it for CAS loadings, especially in C45S pistols, 44-40 rifle. YMMV.
  18. All three of your narratives are predictable. That’s the sad part.
  19. https://people.com/chiefs-super-bowl-parade-shooting-multiple-people-shot-8581648 Despite the fact that the local news talking heads keep saying they don’t have any details, they sure can blather on about nothing. One thing we can be certain of, is the suspects in custody will fit a predictable profile.
