I spoke to the local Dairy Queen ice cream lady the other day about having all of the DQs give an ice cream cone away today. Due to strong perseverance on my part, along with ample bribes and more than a little skullduggery, I was able to get the deal done. So. Go have a treat today and remember ole TW. Thank you for you attention to this matter.

Y'all don't be upset just because the sale hasn't started yet... Y'all just wait til I get home and tell my bunkhouse boss that Lowes has strippers. I won't have to do another project this year!
-
I got the message this morning that Lowes will have a big sale on all of their Sherwin-Williams primers on the 24th of this month. I'm not sure if all of the Lowes will have them or if it's only the one here in Murfreesboro.

I get no respect. Everybody knows if you're gonna ward off that Voodoo doodoo, you gots to go pee pee under a rock to counter those gris gris. One thing what's good for your health is to spit in your pee stream. The higher you can pee, the easier it is to spit through it. You gotta be careful though. You might not pee your britches, but you could pee your shirt. Or if'n you been partaking, you might pee somebody else's shirt. That's where it gets not so good for your health.

Does a banana split have to be in that long glass dish?
Tennessee williams replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I can't believe the likes of some of y'all. They's GOOD nanner splits, they's nanner splits, then they's just a bunch of stuff in a bowl. 1) "Just a bunch of stuff in a bowl" is obvious. Somedang body just threw some ingredients in a bowl and either didnt want to go to the trouble, or aint good enough with a knife to split a nanner. I equate this mess to Dollar General store. 2) "Nanner splits" consist of a nanner whats split down the middle with either flavored ice cream or vanilla ice cream with some syrup on it. I equate this here to the Walmart. Somebody half way tried. I seen a nanner split one time what had the nanner split into quarters lengthwise. That bordered on communism. 3)"Good nanner splits" is when you go down to the DQ and order a nanner split with caramel on each end and pineapple in the middle. If it ain't got whipped cream...put some on it. -
That ole gris gris ain't got nothin on Tennessee Hoodoo. I've already started peeing under rocks and everything.

Bank Robbery: TN Williams is key witness
Tennessee williams replied to Widder, SASS #59054's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
The truth ain't in that man. Weren't at no bank. I was over at the local Gas 'n grub. I'd just filled up my truck and went in to get a sammich. The rest of it's pretty spot on. -
I gave and asked for opinions on the wording of the proposed rule, not the validity of the rule. That was voted on. If you're at "half cock", pull the trigger and bump the hammer backwards just a tiny bit off the notch THE HAMMER WILL FALL. I have had some, the hammer did not need to be bumped backwards off the notch, it would fall regardless. An AD can ruin not only your life but someone else's too. We don't use rank points anymore A revolver returned to holster with the hammer back, when cleared at the Unloading Table would dictate which penalty is warranted.

Perzactly

I sure wish I could find that horse I'm having to beat on. No. Right now those are both sdq penalties for a stationary shooter on the line of fire. Let me try this again. Doesn't matter where the live round is as long as there is atleast one in the cylinder under the proposed rule change. The current rule is a SDQ for the hammer to be back on an empty revolver as well as a revolver with a live round in it in the holster out of hand whether it has been unholstered and reholstered or has not been out of the holster yet. We agree they SHOULD be a mdq. The proposed rule change will only change the call on the one where the revolver has been unholstered and then REholstered to a MDQ. The revolver that has not been unholstered and reholstered will remain a SDQ. I don't want to try to understand any of this^, lol. Yes. There are very real concerns by various people who believe this should be a Match DQ instead of the SDQ that it currently is. I just happen to believe it should be a Match DQ on ANY holstered revolver with live rounds in the cylinder and the hammer back. Not just a re-holstered one.
-
The difference is the proposed rule that this entire thread is about. The proposed rule would change a revolver that is cocked with any live rounds in the cylinder which has been REholstered to a MDQ while leaving a revolver with the hammer back with live rounds in the cylinder that is initially holstered still a SDQ. I agree. But. To me, it should be a MDQ whether initially holstered or REholstered. You don't smell what I'm cooking. The above is about an empty revolver. Yes, a SDQ was earned as soon as the revolver left that shooters hand. What you don't realize, is it was said that if that same shooter, after releasing that revolver takes a step before the TO can stop them and have them correct the hammer being back then they have then changed locations with a cocked revolver earning a 2nd stage DQ for the one stage. 2 stage DQ on the same stage equals a Match Disqualification. When you were caught with your hammer back, had you moved locations? If so, then it is said you should have gotten a MATCH DISQUALIFICATION instead of the sdq you received. That is with an EMPTY REVOLVER. I understand and a lot of confusion of the rules comes from people equating rules from other shooting sports to SASS. The reason we can put our booger picker on the boom button is because we use single actions that will not fire unless cocked first. Hence no moving with a cocked firearm.
-
Does anybody else have any thoughts on a revolver being in the holster with the hammer back with live rounds being a sdq vs a revolver being reholstered with a hammer back with live rounds being a MDQ? THE REVOLVER IS IN THE EXACT SAME POSITION. If the potential change just said revolver with hammer back with live rounds holstered then they would both be MDQ and no confusion. Does anybody have any thoughts on someone holstering their empty revolver with the hammer not fully down(SDQ and taking a step(SDQ) to earn a MDQ? This will make a lot of sdq into mdqs.
-
I think BB, is comparing the scenario of a hammer being back on a loaded revolver while standing at the loading table (SDQ)being the same condition as one reholstered with hammer back standing at the line of fire(proposed MDQ). You have to speak BB to know sometimes he asks a question he already knows the answer to. Lol
-
Yes. Speaking only of loaded revolvers(and the 2 sdq=MDQ changhing locations with a cocked revolver+either of the other sdq calls). To me the most dangerous scenario is where there is a loaded revolver accidentally cocked. *We have a rule, you cant cock a revolver until it reaches 45° angle downrange. *We have no rule against putting your finger in the trigger guard at any time. Reason being is we use single actions and they can't fire unless they're cocked. **Where this gets all horror movie on us is when a revolver is accidentally cocked and a finger finds its way into the trigger guard. That is more dangerous than about any scenario. People get a grip on their revolver while moving to the next location, often while facing 90° down the line of fire.

Hey PWB! I have always assumed "changing location with a cocked revolver" actually meant "changing location with a cocked revolver in hand". If thats not the case, just about every time I have called a SDQ for a cocked revolver leaving the shooters' hand should have been a MDQ. How quick can you stop a shooter from taking a step while they're reholstering the revolver? Say you don't notice the hammer back until you see the shooter moving to the unloading table? I'd say 95% of those SDQ calls will now be MDQ calls. I actually had 2 scenarios where a hammer may be back while loaded without being reholstered. How about the one where the loaded revolver was accidentally cocked? It is just as, if not more dangerous than the reholstered one.
