Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770

I understand that. MY point was that with a DA revolver, another pull of the trigger would bring a fresh round under the hammer, and 9 rounds gives one a decent chance for success.

More like this if you're wanting to CCW. Same size, but a .22, which IS what we were discussing

I think that the intent might have been to not get into another war. The Confederates were hoping that if they threw in with Maximilian, he might decide that he could then start another war with the U.S.

Which would be a good reason to carry a DA revolver.

Rule 9: Never go anywhere without a knife.

I've got three that are on my person any time I'm dressed for the day. First is a Victorinox Tinker. I've carried a knife like this since I was a teenager. Next is an inexpensive knife from an outfit called Doom Blade, though I've seen it without those markings on it. Single blade, about 4", spring assist. Also has a seatbelt cutter and a window breaker. In addition to the one in my pocket, I have one in all my vehicles, including my Daughter's. Finally there is a Leatherman PS 2. It's on earlier one, but it carries in my back pocket well.

And they can't testify against you in court.

If I had to go with a .22, there are several, newer, defence loads offered by manufacturers. Federal Punch, Winchester Silvertip, Hornady Critical Defence just to name a few. And while it's not my first choice for a defence caliber, if I had to use it, I'd probably carry it in my Taurus 94. Double action, 9 shots, so a misfire might not be fatal. Same frame as my Taurus 85s, so it would conceal as well as a snubby .38. Here it is. It has a 4" barrel, shown also are my .38s, one with a 3" barrel, one with a 2" barrel for comparison.

You're not far off there. The last few years, CDL standards have been reduced, (I won't say by who), to where CDLs will even be given to "Non Resident Aliens", many of whom CAN'T EVEN READ OR SPEAK ENGLISH. Lately, there have been several fatality accidents caused by these people. I don't know if this guy is one of them, but it appears likely. The current Administration is working on correcting this problem, and several States are passing laws requiring CDL holders to be able to read and speak English. Add to that, there are some "Companies" that are letting drivers that don't even HAVE a CDL to drive. Hopefully, that will brought under control. If you want more on this, Ike at the Youtube channel "Bonehead Truckers" is leading the charge.

The problem is that some THINK that they DO know. Which leads back to "it's what you know that ain't so".

Gibbs Rule 4: "The best way to keep a secret is to keep it to yourself. Second-best, tell one other person—if you must. There is no third-best."

And then they're probably wrong. I'll say it again, it's not what you don't know that's a problem, it's what you know that ain't so.

I was basing that on the fact that even in Ohio, we sang it in Elementary School. Of course, that was a long time ago.

My inability to know what my confuser is doing is raising its ugly head again. For some reason, when I go to my e-mule it will show that I have, for instance 5 messages, but will not show the top message. It will show briefly, maybe a half second, then disappear. The counter still show that I have 5 messages, but I can only see 4. Once I've read and disposed of the 4, the counter will show 1 message, but I still can't see it. The only thing I can do, is refresh the page, then get my cursor to where the message will show for the half second, and click on it just as it shows up. If I do that, I can open the message and do with it whatever I need to. I've seen this before, but I have no idea what I did to make it do this, and I have no idea what I might have done to make it stop. I'm running Windows 10, with msn hotmail. This isn't anything critical, but it is annoying. What can I do to make it stop? TIA.

Chris Reeves went as far as to even carry himself differently as Clark. He hunched his shoulders and softened his voice.

It's not PC anymore, but I'll bet everybody know the words to "Dixie".

I'm sorry, but the first "portable" cell phones looked like this: The first cell phones had the electronics mounted in the trunk of the car, with a handset mounted in the car's interior, and an antenna. on the outside of the car. Remember those little curlycue antennas? When they made them "portable", they either put a carrying handle on it, or had a case for it, along with a battery the size of a VCR tape. The "Brick" came later.

My friend Tex HATED tomatoes. Now he loved what you could make with them, but he looked at them as a raw material. On the other hand, I love tomatoes. When we went to our local fast food joint, a Burger Chef, I'd always order my burger with extra tomatoes, and he'd order his with no tomatoes. There was a new owner. We placed our order per usual, and they told me that it'd cost extra for my tomatoes. Now being that he was a smart.. alec, (actually we both were), he asked if he'd get a discount since he didn't want tomatoes. Of course they told him that they didn't do that. So we looked at each other, and said that we'd both just get regular tomato on our burgers. When they came, without a word from either one of us, right there at the counter, we unwrapped our burgers, took the tomatoes off his and put them on mine. They never gave us a problem after that.

Actually...

Number (1), the .38 WCF, better known as .38-40, and number (3), the .44-40 would be fine for Main Match rifles. Number (2), the .38-55 would be good for Long Range matches, and I think Wild Bunch.

Unfortunately I'd bet the latter. Some people are good at starting such things, but rarely follow through with the cleanup.
