You make the call..

[Utah Bob #35998]

What if I drop my Ted Cash capper on the ground, and when I bend over to pick it up my powder flask falls on top of it, followed by a pouch full of balls? Is this a MDQ?

What if I drop a flint instead of a capper?

 

Ans what if I'm wearing Levis with a zipper?

Or work boots?

 

This stuff is really hard to figger out.

 

Maybe the lonnng winter will help. :lol:

[Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172]

Well, the capper and the flask are ok, but if you are letting your balls fall on the ground, I think that is a

serious no no. Could be a MDQ.

 

But what do I know. I ain't no RO. They don't trust me with a bullhorn.

[Chickahominy Charlie]

I feel your pain.

 

I never read those threads anymore -- and I wouldn't have read this one, except I saw that you were the originator....and I said to myself, "Bob wouldn't start one of those....would he?"

You have to be careful handling your balls and Levis with zippers. There are some definite safety issues involved.

I find them wire threads helpful once in awhile, but geez, some of these guys sure like "lawyering" about the rules. Gonna be a LONG winter.

Never said they was my balls.

[Old Scatterbrain]

Never said they was my balls.

Either you're standing waaay to close to the TO, or...

[Subdeacon Joe]

Never said they was my balls.

 

 

Bob, that's...

 

Oh..

 

DADT has ended....

 

Never mind.

It depends, were you carrying a SA as your CCW at the time?

[Charlie Harley, #14153]

So ya dropped your capper but someone else's balls? While wearing Levi's with zippers?

 

I ain't goin' there. Nope, I ain't.

It depends on whether or not you are smoking a cigar at the time. A lit cigar may put the first Utah in orbit.

 

Falling balls IMHO is equipment failure solved by wearing jockeys.

Ignoring the jocularity inherent in this thread, you dropped your caps, your powder and your balls, right? Not a loaded gun, but the ammo for it.

 

Is dropping ammo a DQ now?

[Charlie Harley, #14153]

Dropped ammo is still just "dead", meaning you can't pick it up. No DQ involved.

 

There's a thread on the Wire where someone came up with a "You make the call" scenario where a shooter has a hiccup with a cap-n-ball revolver and the loaded cylinder falls from the gun. The thread is getting lively, in a way-too-serious way, asking whether it counts as dropped ammo, a dropped gun, a miss, a DQ, or some other scenario.

 

Folks is gettin' wrapped pretty tight for sure...

[Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172]

Well, the answer is obviously clear. Get another dead horse and beat both of them harder and faster.

 

One can never beat a dead horse too severely nor too often.

 

Of course, avoiding dead horses will give you a much better ride and a more harmonious outcome.

 

As far as your capper, flask, and balls go, well, you are just on your own there.

If you ignore the jocularity, this satirical thread is pointless.

[Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172]

But, and there is always a but, you might be able to morph it into another dead horse thread.

 

There is salvation in everything if you look for it.

Over my dead horse's body!

[Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172]

Not if I hit your dead horse with this willow switch.

[Long Branch Louie]

Over my dead horse's body!

Around here, leaving a dead horse at the loading table results in a match DQ and a Spirit of the Game Penalty. Since yore already DQ'd, the SOG penalty is assessed by taking away yore tie tack AND yore secret decoder ring....
