Maybe one day we will realize the media are idiots…one day…

There’s no hindsight on my part. Some ***hole cuts me off, blocks the road then gets out with a gun? His life is about to change…badly.

Love this paint job!

Boat Derailment…this is new.

A horse designed by committee…wanting a bus ride.

I have a 36 as well. It’s a cool snubbie. Between my 36, 442 and Colt Detective my 36 is most accurate in my hands.

I heard most of those growing up. Good sense. Thanks @Dr. Zook

I have seen quite a few of these and other variations. There was an olive drab green “Trump” Canik METE at the gun show over the weekend. While I think they look pretty cool, I would probably never buy one.

I can tell you right now if that happened to me there would have been very quick action on my part and I wouldn’t be sitting in my vehicle letting him come to me and my loved one with a gun in his hand.

We’re getting a heat wave Thursday. 31℉ Hoping to hit the outdoor range and shoot my new (to me) S&W model 66.

Time for some nationwide “Snow Cardio”!

Yep, the global warming situation caused by the Tonga undersea volcano eruption in ‘22 must have subsided. But don’t worry, the Axial Seamount volcano off the coast of Oregon is set to erupt this year. I sure hope that doesn’t trigger the Columbia Subduction Zone to come apart and submerge Oregon and Washington. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/underwater-us-volcano-could-errupt-34404687

Yep! Or insensitive. I worked 33 years in light rail and commuter rail fleet maintenance and operations in cities. City people are a weird bunch. Over sensitive, over educated - in some cases and under educated - in some cases. Overall, a majority have “sensitivities” I am sure are brought about by closeness and trying to find their individuality to stand out from others. They annoyed the living $#%& out of me, but I persevered and did my job all the while always keeping in mind that my opinions and perceptions are not in the majority consensus. I learned very early on that allowing “them” to manipulate your own mind is dangerous to your own psyche. I chose to learn from them but maintain my own identity. BUT, when it came right down to it, all people are people that have more in common than they know. They just need to get to know each other and respect that everyone is different even if they have a common appearance. No one can be me. I cannot be you or anyone else. Painting everyone else with your brush of experience and identity is like mixing oil and water based paint. It doesn’t work, so don’t do it. Be you and let others be themselves. Just be courteous and life will go smoothly. Courteous until it’s time to not be, but this discussion isn’t about that.

I wish I could help Widder. I was in boot camp in June/July ‘79 in Great Lakes.

It’s 9 degrees outside. I just went out and fed the little pigs (birds) and put out some corn for the deer in a tee shirt, sweats and slippers. Invigorating! You can’t thicken up your blood for winter by hiding indoors in the heat.

It’s in the Constitution, apparently. Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution reads: “The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” The U.S. Supreme Court has recognized the president’s broad pardon power as far back as 1866. In the case, Ex parte Garland, the Supreme Court described a president’s authority to pardon as “unlimited except in cases of impeachment, extending to every offence known to the law and able to be exercised either before legal proceedings are taken, or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment.” The Supreme Court also indicated in Ex parte Garland that the power may be exercised at any time “after [an offense’s] commission.” This means a president can issue a pardon at any point after a crime is committed and before, during or after criminal proceedings have taken place, according to SCOTUSBlog. The president cannot, however, pardon someone for future crimes. In 1974, the Supreme Court also wrote that the broad power conferred in the Constitution gives the president plenary authority to “forgive [a] convicted person in part or entirely, to reduce a penalty in terms of a specified number of years or to alter it with certain conditions.” The Justice Department’s Office of the Pardon Attorneysays pardons this broad are rare, but not unprecedented. A similarly broad pardon was issued by then-President Gerald Ford to former President Richard Nixon following Nixon’s resignation after the Watergate scandal. Ford’s pardon extended to “all offenses against the United States” that Nixon “has committed or may have committed” between Jan. 20, 1969, and Aug. 9, 1974 — the exact span of Nixon’s presidency.

They’re Yankees…No! Damn Yankees! ‘Cause they’re staying. Or so I heard here in the Saloon. EDIT: Thank you @Texas Joker
