  1. Well, since I am not longer an active member please let me know when I need to say “goodbye”. 
     

    I do want to say that all the photos posted by me in the Funny Photos thread were from AcidCow.com. A public domain. 
     

    I’m sorry to hear about this Misty. It’s quite unfortunate. I am pretty sure that you should have received warnings first, not fines. I’m sure your legal team can fix this.

  2. Since gravity on Mars is roughly 1/3 of what it is on earth bullet trajectories have a lot less arc due to the lesser gravity. 

    Target distances in Mars Action Shooting could be extended much further with little or no effect on projectile trajectories so all those short distance targets could be moved out, oh… 1 or 2 feet without impacting the game or egos. :rolleyes:
    Trouble is this might upset some folks, so anyone butthurt by the vast differences in target set ups could be placated with kind words like “Gee Bill, you’re looking light on your feet today.” Or “Wow Sam, you really have lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you.” :D

  3. It’s pretty ain’t it, Alpo?

     

    One of my favorite winter time things as a kid was to go into the woods at night after a snow and find a stump or log to sit on and just sit and watch. This works day or not but after a while you’ll start seeing animals moving about…not all the time, but it’s probably the most calming thing ever. 
     

    My wife and I are thinking that it’s about time to buy a house. We live in town now but I would like a house in the country near a mess of woods that I can hike about in. 
     

    By the way, never eat yellow snow. ;)

    Also, you should try and enjoy one time honored Yankee tradition. Writing your name in the snow.

    Flexeril, physical therapy and moist heat prescribed. I hate most drugs with a passion, especially narcotics

    Flexeril is non-narcotic. Try it with ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory.  You can take 2400mg of Ibuprofen a day. A combo of Flexeril, Ibuprofen and stretching with have you Up & At ‘em in no time. 
    Flexeril may cause drowsiness. Don’t take it and drive.

    I highly recommend you reevaluate your reloading set up. 
    You sit on a table to reload on a TV stand? Makes my back hurt thinking about it. 


     

    Live a little. Get a nice sturdy wooden work bench from Home Depot or Menards. The pre-cut and ready to assemble ones are reasonably priced. Also buy a padded bench stool with height adjustment so you can vary the seating position.

    With the hindsight we are all blessed with. I think the truck driver should have gassed it, run over the other guy, and gotten out of there.  The Mercedes driver had already crossed pretty much every threshold for the use of deadly force. 

    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.

    Great gun, I carried the 19, 65, 66 and finally ended up with the 67 while working with the PD. They were all great guns. Even carried the 36 as my backup.

    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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    EDIT:  Almost anything you can say can probably be considered racist by somebody!!

    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.

  10. 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. :D

  11. 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.
