Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770

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!

My Jeep: Other Jeeps:

Nobody really seems to know where or how it started, but sassnetguy50's explanation is as good as any I've heard. The collections are generally from Jeep owners placing ducks on another Jeep they see. I've got a couple myself. Just come out of Walmart or the gym, and there's one sitting on my seat or side step. But yes, some of these guys seem to be taking it a little too far, or at least way further than I would.

Rye, stop it. You're being reasonable again. To the people who live to be offended by it, EVERYTHING a white man does is offensive. maybe not racist, but offensive.

Think about "Star Wars". The first movie was the fourth chapter. When I was watching the third movie, I couldn't get excited about it, because I already knew how it turned out.

It is. Since you're a straight, white man, (I presume), EVERYTHING you say is racist, discriminatory, or offensive, if the listener or reader WANTS to be offended by it. (Yes Moderators, I'm at it again. Do what you must).
