Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770

Just got this thread moved from the Saloon. Anybody else?

You get whatever Justice you can afford. 🤬

There used to be a lady down in Tombstone that dressed in 1800s attire. Fancy dresses of the era. She had a dog that she dressed in matching attire, and the dog seemed to love it.

Spider Dog!

Unfortunately, the voters in too many places don't actually pay attention to what's actually going on, or why. And I have to include my own Tucson Arizona in that statement. I know for a fact that around here, as long as any candidate had a (D) beside his or her name, they will get elected. I know that there are plenty of good people that would like to see changes, but they can't see beyond that (D).

it makes sense that he thinks crime is a disease. It flourishes when you don't try to eradicate it.

But then he'd be responsible for his own safety. We can't have that!

Here's one for you, Shatner was trained in Fencing. Though he didn't do any on "Trek", a series he did later, "The Barbary Coast", he did so, along with Doug McClure. And don't forget, on "Firefly", Mal got into a sword fight.

I don't reload, so yeah.

Where? Please.

I've got a Cimarron that has a couple chambers that are tight. One of them is so tight that it can't easily be used. I'm not going to spend $100 or more on a chamber reamer that I'll need only once. Similarly, I don't want to pay a gunsmith the same amount to do it. Any suggestions?

Gibbs is a Marine. As a Sniper he would be in the Field frequently. When I was in the Infantry, most of us carried a lighter of some sort whenever WE went to the Field. Having been in Combat Zones, Gibbs probably developed the habit many years ago. For some people, habits never die. Zippo lighters were often gifts from loved ones, parents, grandparents, wives etc. It may be that Shannon gave him the lighter. If that were the case, he would NEVER part with it. Same if his Father gave it to him. Though it was never mentioned in the series, I would venture to say that GIbbs was a mentor to Dinozzo. Dinozzo can quote Gibb's Rules without even thinking about them. He carries a knife like Gibb's knife. It would make sense that he would carry a similar lighter.

I think that you'll find that many of us have been wearing clothes for most of our lives.

While I don't have one, I always thought that the Officers frame with a Commander length slide would work out better.

It IS a coordinated effort. Their bosses think the same way they do. They all have the same agenda. Heck, half of them are MARRIED to dumocrat congresscritters.

Send that to Project Farm. Maybe he'll do it.

I don't know if you have these lights, but I've had a bunch. Just sitting in a drawer, the batteries drain in about a month or so. YMMV.

Most flashlights these days have the "on high", "on low", "flash" switches on them. I don't care for them, but I'm not going to go to the effort to look for something simpler. I'd about bet that the circuits for these things are all made in the same Chinese factory anyway. And lately I've been seeing some of them with some FIVE way switch. AND the bezel slides for a "Zoom" effect. I think I'm glad I don't need a new one. I got a set of these some years back at Sam's Club. They were 3 for $20 if my rememberer is right. Notice that they're "Tactical". I guess that's because they're black. Same three way switch, but they work and the batteries don't drain as fast by not doing anything as many others do. Now this light is a rechargeable light. USB C, (I think). But I got them at Walmart a couple years ago for about $14. I keep them in my vehicles, plugged in so that they're always fully charged. Same three way switch, but like the other one, it works.

My wife used to have a Mini Mag Light that I put an LED conversion into.

Follow up follow up question... why should WE?

I don't think flamethrowers have been in use since Ripley used them to clear out the Aliens. And not on this planet since maybe 'Nam. When I first enlisted in The Marines, (1977), there was a replacement for them called the M202 Multishot, but I never saw one. Schwarzenegger used one in "Commando". from wearethemighty.com

When I was still working, whatever uniform the company decided until they changed it, but the last 15 years or so it was dark gray cargo pants, button up short sleeve shirt, Metatarsal boots, (steel toes with armor all the way up the front, looked like lace up work boots), topped off with a black USMC Soft Cover. Off duty, until the last 6 or 7 years, I dressed full Cowboy, from hat to boots. Before that, modern Cowboy shirt, (snap front, yoke shoulders), jeans, boots and hat. (I was Urban Cowboy BEFORE Urban Cowboy). These days, (retired), I usually wear a polo shirt, jeans, and cowboy boots, and my Soft Cover. I think that many men have lost any sense of propriety when it comes to dressing themselves. I'll probably annoy a few of you here, but IMHO, the current "fashion" of shorts and flip flops is horrible. I don't even OWN a pair of shorts or flip flops.

That's what I figured. Mythbusters were able to get a flame, but nothing like the TV episode.

Sometimes you have to give it a minute to load. Watch right below the text and you should see the progress.

A wise man once said that nobody can offend you without your permission. In the same line of thinking, there's a whole bunch of people out there who are just LOOKING to be offended, you can't HELP but to offend them. If they take offense at something I say that I DIDN'T mean to be offensive, that's on them. And if I MEAN to be offensive, there will be NO doubt in anyone's mind as to my intent.
