Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770

I know that you know this, but the 2nd does NOT give you the Right, it says that you have the Right, and it's SUPPOSED to make sure that the government cannot TAKE that Right away. But there are places that do.

One should ALWAYS watch their backtrail. And keep a loaded gun ready at all times.

EASY there Rye, I'm not trying to start anything. I'm simply saying that I love Tucson more that I loved Ohio. That, and I don't have any family that I've got any use for, I've not seen most of them since my Dad's funeral in 1996, except my ex-sister who screwed my out of my inheritance. The only friend I have back there can't even be bothered to so much as emule me more than once or twice a year, and NEVER calls me, even though when we were kids, we spent many of our formative years in each other's back pocket. I love the desert weather here. I can deal with 105 degree heat far better than 30 degree cold. I HATE rain and don't care for snow either. Right now, February 19th it's about 61 degrees here, and that's a relatively cool day here. I traveled the world and much of the United States while a Marine, and have survived rainforest, sub-zero, moderate climates, Rain and fog, as well as desert. I like the desert. I'm not saying that Ohio is not a fine place to live, it's just not where I want to live.

I enlisted in the Marines in 1977, (I was home on Leave from Boot Camp when I was arrested). I got out in 1990, which is when I settled in Arizona. I have been back a number of times over the years, but have never seen anything that made me want to go back to stay. I love Arizona, and have no doubt that I'll live out the rest of my days here.

But now there's Rock Paper Lizard Spock, from Sheldon on "Big Bang Theory"

Neither have I, but I have a 625, Model of 1989 that I really like. I've got a dozen Moon Clips for it, (Full Moon from Wilson). I have several loaded with Federal 230gr. Hydro Shoks. Four clips, two to a side, stay in a N Frame Speed Loader pouch.

I grew up in Ohio. My first arrest was in 1977 for... Carrying a Concealed Weapon. Ohio didn't have a CCW until 2008, and Constitutional Carry until 2022. While Open Carry was Legal since the 1890, if you tried it you would be arrested for Posing a Public Threat until about the mid 20teens when Gun Rights Activists brought it to the attention of the public that it IS legal, and even then there were a lot of, um, misunderstandings with LEOs. By the time I started making my roadtrips back there in 2018, it was not an issue, and I carried while there until I stopped going in 2022. NOW Ohio is gun friendly. When I left, it wasn't.

Sounds like they'd do well in a Moon Clip for a revolver.

I'm so bad at it that when I have to I simply tell people, "I'm sorry, I know that we've met, but I'm just terrible with names." Nobody's even been offended or otherwise annoyed.

One of the main reasons I settled in Arizona was the gun freedom we have here. I decided on Arizona back in 1990 when the Marine Corps decided that they no longer need my services. Back then, Arizona was just about the only state where Open Carry was not only legal, but done by the citizenry. We didn't have CCW laws yet, but Open Carry was fine. Since then, of course, most states have CCW, and many now also recognize Open Carry, as I referred to in a previous post.

We've been watching from the start. Pretty good. I really like that it doesn't have a set location. He travels a lot.

That was me. Shawn is like a modern day Sherlock Holmes. He sees thing that others miss, and draws a conclusion from it. The fun part is how he presents it.

This was done entirely online.

When traveling I used to use Hotels.com to book my rooms. Never had a problem. One year, during the Zombie Apocalypse, my friends daughter tested positive for Covid, and I had to delay my trip. They took care of changing my reservations, and they never charged my card for anything.

When I transferred from Infantry to Air Wing in The Marines, as a Corporal I was tasked with Leading the other Marines, most of whom were Privates and PFCs fresh out of Boot Camp, in the same school, Aviation Ordnance. There were about 50 or so of us. When calling roll in the morning, somebody would inevitably not here when his name was called. After about the third time calling a name and not getting a response, I'd tell the Platoon, "If you can't remember your name, look at your I.D. Card!"

When I was making my Arizona to Ohio road trips, the only place I traveled through that it wasn't was Illinois. Since that only consisted of about a 120 mile of I-70, I filled my gas tank in St. Louis Mo. so that I wouldn't HAVE to stop, secured my guns as required by law, and drove straight through to Indiana. As for everywhere on the trip, every state I drove through was an "Open Carry" state, and I did. I received many compliments, too. Out of 50 states, my Arizona is honored by 39. Since I don't have any reason to visit any of the states that don't honor it, I don't foresee a problem. The only place I could ever see myself going in those states, would be to visit the Los Angles Fire Dept. Museum to see the vehicles used in the T.V. show "Emergency", and to visit the Ronald Reagan Library to see Kurt Russel's guns from "Tombstone". And I SERIOUSLY doubt that I'll do that.

Charter Arms has a piece in the extractor star that catches the extractor groove and then cams out of the way for loading so that they also eject the brass. From Chuck Hawks:

9mm ballistics in a .38 sized package. Some people just prefer a revolver. It's no different than a S&W 625 in .45ACP, or it's predecessor the S&W or Colt 1917. Ruger makes the LCR and SP101 in 9mm, and they even made their Security Six and Speed Six in 9mm, as well as cylinders in the same for Blackhawk revolvers. Heck, I have a couple Uberties that have .45 ACP cylinders . Charter Arms has their Pitbull series of revolvers that can be had in 9mm, .40 S&W, or .45ACP. So does Taurus. So, why not?

I'm terrible with names, unless I have a particular reason to remember it, or something about it sticks because it puts me in a mind of something. Heck, the first week or two after I met my wife I didn't remember her name.

There are two types of electric fencing that I know of. One has Hot wiring as the fence itself, and the earth is the ground. The other has every other wire either hot or ground. Neither will spark with only one wire in contact with something like a rock.

I was a truck driver. I didn't need a computer to work. I used it then, like now, purely for recreational purposes, so I also could do without it if I needed to. This forum here, and a few others I haunt are all the social media I do. I only do that on my desktop, because the only thing I use my FLIP PHONE for is making phone calls. It's a phone to me. Nothing more.

They look out of proportion to me. They look like the roofline should be higher. But I was used to the older profile.

I'll take your word for it. I only post this because some people, (myself included), had gotten the impression, due to discussions about it, that one couldn't file with TurboTax on a Windows 10 confuser. You can.

Just as an FYI, we were able to do our taxes using the online version of TurboTax on my Windows 10 confuser.

Some people just don't get the concept of what a Drive Thru is supposed to be!
