On the subject of pedantic
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 replied to Black Angus McPherson's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I'll throw a couple things to add to the confusion: (1). A lever Action, (1892, 1894, etc.) Rifle has as standard a 20", 24" or 30" barrel. A Carbine can ALSO have a 20" or shorter barrel. The difference between the rifle and carbine is defined by the Stocks, both butt and fore, and whether the barrel is octagonal or round. So as far as Lever guns are concerned it's NOT barrel length. (2). In the Marine Corps Infantry Platoon, the Marine designated to use his M-16 on "Automatic" was called an "Automatic Rifleman", not a "Machine Gunner". That term was for the Marines in the Weapons Company Machine Gun Platoon who crewed the M-60s. -

What would you do in this situation?

I'd at least flash a light in to see what might be lurking inside. -
Pistols and revolvers

You say that like it's unusual or unexpected. -

So what's your point? Sometimes it just fun to shine on people that are really full of themselves. And sometimes it's fun to argue for no reason at all. -
Analog Bags
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 replied to Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
They mostly look like the canvas "grocery" bags people use in places that outlawed plastic bags carry. -
Until the Vietnam era, I remember EVERYBODY wearing pretty much head to foot orange. About the only thing not orange was their boots. Then guys started bringing home cammo uniforms and then everybody wanted THOSE for hunting. But the didn't do any better than the "old guys" in orange, because the animals can't see it anyway. Cammo is great if you're hiding from somebody / thing that sees colors, but not so much basically black and white.

I think I get behind her every time I'm at Walmart. -
No disrespect to your daughter, but that looks as disgusting as any fruitcake ever. Anybody ever giving me one of those would be invited to go with me to watch me shoot it.

People have already formed their opinions, they don't want to be confused with facts. -

From Google AI: Samuel Colt was granted his U.S. patent for the revolving pistol on February 25, 1836, which established his monopoly on revolver manufacturing until 1857. This patent was for the design of his first mass-produced revolver, the Colt Paterson, and was based on his design for a practical, repeating firearm that used a revolving cylinder with multiple chambers. -
Abby used to say this - is it true?

I don't think my flip phone does that. -

One time when I was on Guard Duty at Camp Pendelton we had a Training Call Out at about 8:00 at night. Where I wound up, I could see a drive in movie screen. I got to watch about the last 15 minutes of "The Car". -
Medicare for Vets that VA coverage already?

Join AMAC. Association of Mature American Citizens. https://amac.us/ It's a conservative alternative to AARP. They have an Open Enrollment hotline staffed with people who you can talk to to find the plan that works for you. I have a Humana plan through them that has no monthly premium. I'm healthy enough to get away with that. -

When I was a kid in Elementary School, I always thought that it was so wrong that we had class projects to make Mother's Day gifts, but never did anything for Father's Day since we were out for the Summer by then.
