Our legislature in its infinite wisdom used singular language in our CCW laws, such that carrying a second gun concealed is absolutely illegal, even if licensed.

In the Army the Sergeant watched it leave your body, so there was no need to blue the water.

No, I wouldn't. I usually don't carry another magazine either. I guess I don't usually carry an automatic at all, but when I do, I very infrequently carry another magazine and usually just have the one that is with me. Fortunately the chance of needing more than 2-3 shots is extremely unlikely, representing a tiny fraction among extremely unlikely events of needing to actually fire one's firearm in self defense.

I thought I really liked my Klein flush cutters, but now I need the Knipex ones! I will be giving them as gifts to others as well.

I stopped there. It looks like some have removed the carbide sizing ring from their FCDs to eliminate the issue. I use the Lee FCD in .223 for my blasting/3 gun ammo so I'm not opposed to the product. In fact, I am a huge fan of Lee's products in general. 100% of the bullets I have ever shot in SASS came out of a Lee bullet mold, for example. All of them were sized on a Lee press. All of the non-factory shotgun shells I have ever shot in a SASS event came off of a Lee load all. The advice of many long time bullet casters on the internet convinced me not to try it for that one application. But if what you're doing is working, you should probably not change because I was scared off by this advice. That said, that forum is where I learned to cast, and what drew me to SASS was my cast bullets, so that's how I got here.

Like any forum, especially one with millions of posts, you would search. But, fwiw, if what you're doing is working for you, keep doing it.

My dad used to always say that a hot dog was made from when the butcher blows the "meat" off of the cow's nose. I have no idea if that's true but I can't imagine it'd taste that great. He also would murder me if I put ketchup on a hot dog.

I think you missed the message. It's not about "rancid" meat, it's about the fact that hot dogs were historically made from what was left over. It's still fresh, it's just a far less flavorful part of the animal that a hot dog is made from. Nobody in this video said anything about eating rancid meat, which is what the chef would turn you into if he saw you try to put ketchup on a hot dog. Chicagoans are really serious about this. My mother would probably have inflicted injury upon me if I'd tried to put ketchup on a hot dog. Usually, she would just say "ketchup is for hamburgers," but in a very serious tone.

If you were to search the Cast Boolit forum, the question has been asked so many times and that has been the answer that it isn't something I've personally tried because it would be considered "common knowledge" over there. Perhaps you have tighter barrels? I haven't taken the chance. I size all of my cowboy bullets to .358 and have not had an issue.

The Lee factory crimp die is known to reduce the size of bullets and cause leading, so I have never used it with a revolver. For hard recoiling revolver loads I have always used a strong roll crimp. That includes 45 Colt "Ruger only," .460 S&W, .454 Casull, and even good old .357 Magnum to share the ones I've loaded successfully.

The executive branch has a constitutional duty to take care that the law is faithfully executed. After 91 years of enforcing the Gun Control Act, it would be a strange change of direction for the DOJ to refuse to defend the law. Even if they have to go to court and lose, they should be defending the law because that is what the executive branch is for, to seek to uphold the statutes passed by our Congress. I think it is a dangerous game for them to refuse to do so, and the first such examples I am aware of that have any significance are Obama's refusal to defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court about 15 years ago. As much as I'd like to see much-needed reforms, it is a dangerous game with it coming from this route rather than the legislative branch, especially because people who are opposed to our ideas might someday take power, and these reforms won't last if that happens. Lasting reform only comes from a political solution.

I have had nothing but problems with Winchesters, even the low recoil/low noise that I waited for a year or more until they were in stock and then bought a few cases of. They just won't come out of the gun. At the suggestion of Captain Clark, I switched to Remingtons. I scored a bunch of used gun club hulls out of the trash and they fall right out of my shotgun without any issues. As such, I'm a convert. I will probably just burn up the Winchesters in my Model 12 for Wild Bunch

Screw was finger loose on the back of my holster!
