Regarding lights on shotguns, a VERY good time to have a light is when you know someone is there, and that someone knows you are there, but there is not quite enough light to make sure who is who. OK, so some of y'all will say that you will shoot ANY intruder inside your home, as you have no other f...

I think the compass idea is a good one! One of my Randall knives has a compass in the butt of the handle, and a similar compass mounted in a stock sounds very intriguing.

Rest in peace.

Prayer said! My Dad survived prostate cancer a number of years ago, though being old enough for surgery to be a bad idea, he went with one of the radiation strategies. He is still energetic at almost 77 years of age.

Good links, Hobie. A load that will not rip through several layers of drywall is not likely to penetrate a bad guy enough to disable him under a variety of circumstances. The first link does note that soft targets on the bad guy, at very close range, should be selected if using birdshot. Personally,...

Griff, my sincere condolences.

Rexster

Done, and will do!

One of my rigs. Ok, just kidding, but I do have a scabbard, for the K-31 rifle, like the one on this Swiss Army bike. I don't yet have a K-31 rifle.

Rexster

OK, I have a link to pics of me on another forum. My bike is purple, and I am wearing a red/white/blue helmet, an orange jersey, and black cycling pants that extend belong the knee. I am a bit shy about wearing lycra in public. There is indeed a pistol in that Safepacker on my belt. http://www.bikef...

My Browning Lightning BLR fits me perfectly, is a pleasure to shoot, and makes me looks like I am a better shot than I really am. It is chambered in .308 Winchester, so I will go with that.

Rexster

Thanks for the compliments, and yes, I know that SS is not really ugly, but if I say it is ugly, I have beaten the naysayers to the punch, and stolen their thunder a bit. :wink: If I had arrived at the shop when the three were delivered, I probably would have dug deep and put at least two on layaway...

Rexster

A link to the pics, for however long it lasts: http://collectorsfirearms.com/admin/product_details.php?itemID=31431 Yep, I am paying a awful lot, but the dealer only got three of this limited run, and is not likely to get more. If I had been able to couch up enough to purchase it outright, they woul...

Rexster

Lay-awake = layaway, during which time one lays awake in anticipation. An attempt at posting a pic poached from the dealer's site; I got the last of three, BTW, so no mas: Ah, well, pic too big. Something about pixies. Yes, I know SS is ugly, but I can smell the sea when there is a SE breeze blowing...

Rexster

Arrests have been made, and a third known suspect is still on the loose. They are relatives of the ranch hand, who was shot during the incident.

Sad. Does his mind still "click" to violin music? Alzheimers/Dementia patients are somewhat remarkable in what is lost and what is retained with new clarity... Sometimes simply activating an "unbroken" section of Mind can allow access to areas otherwise blocked... He doesn't see...

Rexster

Well ,Charles is now aware of this update, and this set of facts fits well with what happened. The first set of facts did not. Now as to being too quick on the trigger, on that issue we will have to think and let think. I see no need to apologize, explain or defend myself. It is what it is. Charles...

Rexster

Thanks for the support, though I wanted my post to me more of a tale of a great man than fishing for support. As someone mentioned, it is like the adult is becoming a child. My FIL is very much like having a toddler in the house. We love our children when they are toddlers, don't we, and find joy in...

I grew up Southern Baptist. The view was that drinking, strictly speaking, is not a sin. I can't recall the any exact doctrine, but the general gist was that drinking, gambling, dancing, and even playing cards, are not sins in and of themselves, but could so easily lead to things that are sins. Huma...

I thought there was a drug that could mitigate dementia? There are drugs for it, but they merely slow its progress, by creating plateaus in the level of dementia. Inevitably, the patient reaches an edge of that plateau, and falls to another level. The first drug we tried had bad side effects. The c...

In the 12 years I have known him, Mr. P****, his adopted USA name, has gone from being an intellectual giant, to someone who must be watched like a toddler. He was born in the newly independent Poland between the World Wars. A child prodigy violinist, he was a young man when Germany invaded from the...

Prayer out for continued healing.

Rexster

Done.

Rexster

UPDATE: Well, as so often happens, the news media got it wrong for several days. This was NOT a home invasion or a hit. The doctor, along with his family and ranch hand, arrived at the ranch to interrupt a burglary in progress. His death is still just as tragic, of course, and we should keep this in...

Rexster

The wounded man at the scene, besides the doc, was indeed a ranch hand. My wife relayed that some dogs were shot, too. I believe that the reason the thugs arrived with two F150 pickups is so they could haul off stuff; the lowered Acura was probably their more common mode of transport. As usual, my P...

Rexster

When all of the nasty stuff floats to the surface, this will turn out to be "drug related". Well, EVERYTHING is drug-related, at least peripherally, but it would be a major shock if the doctor was involved in the illegal drug trade. Being chief of critical care at Methodist Hospital in Ho...

Yes, indeed, good show!

He was a good friend of my wife's family. Folks, be careful, even outside the big city.

There were five bad guys in three vehicles, and they fired on the responding police officer.

Rexster

Thanks for the compliment. Rob Douglas worked with Wally Hayes, a Mastersmith who is noted for his own Japanese-inspired work. Mr. Douglas is still in the Canadian military, and does blades part-time. BTW, "wakisashi" is how the maker spells it, so I spell it that way, too. Perhaps is is a...

I recently liberated my TD BLR from lay-away. The chambering is .308 Winchester, same as my other BLRs. I look forward to mounting a Leupold Scout Scope on it, as Browning offers a scout-type of mount, for which the TD models are already D&T'ed. The nice thing about a scout mount for this rifle ...

Rexster

Thanks for the support. While this region has not seen the concentrated carnage of recent Philadelphia or Oakland, between shootings and traffic incidents, causing fatalities and crippling injuries, the recent past has been quite hard on the peace officer community around here. (Houston area and sur...

FWIW, I liked Jack Shafer's booik Shane much better than the movie, but liked the move simply because i am an Alan Ladd Fan. I'm not a great fan of High noon, even though I like Gary Cooper. Did you know that the Duke turned down the role of Will Cain because he thought the storyline too implausibl...

I reckon I should buy the DVD set one of these days. Y'all refer to LD so often, I should watch it to see what the fuss is about. I actually saw parts of it back when it first came out on TV, but have never seen the ending, nor many of the important scenes mentioned.

Rexster

Prayer sent.

Let me know if you come through the Houston area. I can help with news on road closures and the best times to avoid certain areas, and in the event of bike trouble, can put you in touch with good people. I know a wrecker driver who is a dedicated HD rider and will go the extra mile for riders. If yo...

The thin blue line is thinner yet again; Pasadena PD, in Texas, lost one this morning in a shoot-out, at a domestic disturbance scene. Domestics are dangerous. Last night, which was before the Pasadena incident, I was at a domestic disturbance without back-up. While ringing the doorbell, I had my &q...

Ji, it is VERY good to see these pics! I miss you! Thanks, Tycer, for posting these.

This is tragic, indeed. May the officer rest in peace; prayer said for his family. What is this world coming to? (OTOH, nothing really surprises me anymore.) Locally, we just had an ACTIVE police officer kidnap his ex-girlfriend, also an active police officer, at gunpoint. When troopers cornered him...

OK, let's try this. Wife, Joyce, with one of our late dogs, Tucker, during search-and-recovery training. Don't tell Joyce; she hates this picture! She is leaner and healthier now. There is a pic of me in my laptop, but I could not load it because "bmp" files are not accepted. Funny how tha...

OK, this my nephew Michael, who lives with us. I am kind of a substitute Dad. Pooch is PoBear, the primeval Husky mix.

Edited to add: Oh, well, "aspx" files are not allowed.

I am going to try this. Edited to add: Well, it was not the pic I thought it was. That is my wife holding the pooch, but you can't see much of my wife.

We are notably cooler down here on the Texas Coastal Plain today, too. The morning low was 72, instead of the usual 78 to low 80's. Daytime high is low-to-mid 90's instead of upper 90's. Next thing you know, the dogs will grow hair again!

Rexster

Amen, regarding small dogs. Some big dogs sleep too soundly, as they don't worry about being eaten alive by a predator. With our prior generation of dogs, it was the job of Fireworm the Chihuahua to awaken Malcolm. Malcolm was a mutt, but he would have looked right at home among a herd of Black Angu...

I was surpised to see 375 H&H being one of the choices, and just had to vote for it. I like the the 375 H&H in my Ruger No. 1 and Winchester Model 70, and would like to see how they would make that work in a lever rifle.

Rexster

Hmm. I would have spent over $1000 at Bass Pro last year, if the guy behind the firearms counter had not been rude when I asked to see the rifle of interest on the rack, as he walked past me. True, he was the only guy behind that counter at that time, and did proceed further along to a customer at t...

Yes, bumping one rear corner of a fleeing vehicle, especially in a slight curve, preferably with plenty of wide-open space for the resulting spin-out, is a method used to stop bad guys in cars. My chief will not allow us to do it, though sometimes we manage to do it, "unintentionally" or n...
