What is HP Sauce?

I don't believe I could disagree more. No further comment.

Never mind

No, I consider acting like an AH means being an AH. It's like just about any other conversation one may have with a stranger, police officer or otherwise. You're under no obligation to be enthusiastic, but being an AH, like that guy, is a choice better taken elsewhere,. A civil servant just doing his job doesn't deserve that attitude. It amounts to bullying in my view, certainly nothing to be proud of.

Friend of yours?

Same here, every bit of 40 years.. Only thing I've done with mine is replace the little coil spring that holds the collet parts together. It was still good, but a rubber o-ring works a lot better.

Please explain.

Absolutely! I've been settled on Unique for shotgun, .45 Colt and .44-40 for many, many years. It can also load well in limited applications in .30-30.

He'll be fine, I've seen plenty of grunts wearing glasses and, unless things have changed, he can enlist with opportunities to go to jump school and pre-Ranger evaluation in his contract. Tell him to focus on attitude, weight, physical fitness, in that order. Those are way bigger obstacles than wearing glasses.

I had a pair of Uberti made EMF Hartford Model revolvers done by Long Hunter about 10 years or so back. I seriously could not be happier with the results.

Lowes veterans discount is a mysterious thing here in Missouri and Kansas. Here today, gone tomorrow. You never know. Menards simply does not have one. Home Depot's, on the other hand, is alive and well every day. If you set up your customer account correctly, it's automatically applied to every purchase. I think they have an annual limit, but it's generous.

Unique is very hard to beat for smokeless .44-40 loads.

That much we can all agree on.

Since I'm a simple old soldier (with a useless 39 year old Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice) I had to look that one up because it really didn't square with my understanding of the key difference between manslaughter and murder. In response to asking good old Google whether "involuntary manslaughter requires mens rea" what looks like a solid source comes back with "Involuntary manslaughter occurs when the agent has no intention (mens rea) of committing murder but caused the death of another through recklessness or criminal negligence. See: https://www.justia.com/criminal/offenses/homicide/involuntary-manslaughter/ So, I still don't understand what those blank or dummy or live cartridges had to do with whether or not Baldwin pointing that sixgun straight at a woman standing a few feet in front of him, cocking the hammer and pulling the trigger being manslaughter.

I, personally, don't buy any of that for one second. Did you watch the FBI firearms analysis technician's testimony during the Hannah Reed trial? There's no way on earth that happened with the revolver in this case. Zero. Baldwin may well have convinced himself he didn't pull that trigger, that don't make it true.
