Doc, I've seen the video in question, and about 6 others. When Renee Good was shot, the front of the vehicle was clearly moving away from Jonathan Ross, who shot her through the side of the car/front windshield pillar. Did he actually get hit by the car? One video shows him putting his hand out and ...

Be that as it may, ICE agent Jonathan Ross did NOT have to shoot Renee Nicole Goode. Needless and preventable. Whatever she was alleged to have done before shots were fired could have been followed up on later. They DID have her tag number, after all. Calling her a F*&#$% B*&$%# after he sho...

He has been in for two terms , and his reported net worth is only 1 million dollars , pelosi would have made 10 or 20 million in the same time.

I'm going to get flamed on this forum for posting this, but here goes: ICE agent Jonathan Ross did NOT have to shoot Renee Nicole Goode.

Not something I'd worry about. Unless you're loading to max levels and seating bullets to less than the recommended OAL, there's plenty of safety in the 9mm round, IMHO. For plinking or CCW training, load 'em up to a mid-range power level, check you OAL, and you'll be fine. And you have a tremendous...

It's SOP for the FBI to leave the large illegal drug warehouses in the US alone, because trying to take them down results in big, nasty, firefights.

Springers can be remarkably unforgiving to bad technique. The good news is that once you can shoot a springer well and practice with it, you can't help but be better with a conventional rifle. I'm not a great rifle shot, but I have yet to own a conventional rifle that's as finicky concerning techniq...

Going from a 22 cal. springer to a 30 cal. PCP would, indeed, allay any
concerns about power for squirrel hunting!

I like heavier pointed pellets in my RWS 48 for hunting. Penetration is greater, and one frequently gets entrance AND exit wounds in squirrels. The HP pellets expand impressively, but there's just not enough power in an air rifle to exploit the energy enough to kill. -Stretch

That's GOOD news! 8) I've always ignored the law in our local, rural PO. Question: If the PO is in the same building as the Federal Building, as it is in Augusta, Maine, is it still illegal to carry in the Post Office? I certainly don't want to find out the hard way........ :shock: -Stretch

I think the biggest issue is that people don't take them apart often enough and the muscle memory/ reinstallation of the main spring housing.

I used to carry them from my garage to the basement at my old house. 2 bags at a time in a belly carry, down the hill and around to the daylight basement door. I used that chore as a workout! Different, smaller house now. 3 to 4 cords of wood, which is it's own form of exercise. -Stretch

The other option I use is carrying a 'double-action-on-first-shot' gun that has the ability to be carried hammer-down but brought into action WITH ONE HAND, as Stretch says. I sometimes carry a Beretta 92 that way, but I'm always worried that the safety will get bumped to the 'OFF' position. Taurus...

stretch

The BIG advantage of the 1911 and the HiPower is that they can be brought into action very quickly with one hand. Carrying one of them with the hammer down and the chamber empty negates this advantage. If 2 hands are not available, might as well carry a brick. My opinion - YMMV. -Stretch

I use the heaviest pellets I can buy for my air rifle as I've found they have better knockdown power, but also hold tighter groups at longer distance. They lose a little velocity out of the muzzle, but make up for it down range. I'm inclined to agree - heavier pellets seem to be both more accurate ...
