Amish hunter bags colorado bull elk. The videographers are careful not to show the hunter's visage in respect to old order customs.

The Negotiations..... It sat there languishing on the market for nigh-on three years. The owners were just asking too much by virtue of its supposed commercial potential.

Fictional l.a.p.d. patrolman reed & malloy do it at least once every other episode(s).

You talking about the lawn jockey-n-chief & his fruit-loopy comic sidekick ? Surpassed only in whackyness by the aforementioned fruit-loopiness-n-chief & his cackling wench sidekick. As for churchill, I am neither for or against but I am fond of that anecdotal narrative, true or not, that im...

In the clutter of the raycave for something else when I find a red laser bore-sighter contraption that sticks to the barrel's muzzle with a powerful magnet.

A shy, rather socially inept middle aged bachelor was elected to the bench in gallup. Of progressive philosophies/politics, he tried to find common ground with the accused who stood before him.

You seem to be obsessed with subsonic speeds. One subsonic load will ring your ears and another supersonic will sound like a .22 rimfire. Each load combination has a different sound signature and even similar decibel readings can give you different personal hearing experiences. The whole current fad...

I sliced off the crimps of a handfull of factory 3" #4s and replaced the shot with four .350" muzzleloading balls glued in with model cement. I doubt they would stand up to loading and unloading from a repeater but they work just fine in a break open and stay on a medium pizza box at 30 pa...

But I cannot describe it as I would wish.

For several nights they made attacks upon our lines, but in every attempt, they were driven back with great slaughter. They would ignite the tape of bomb shells, and throw them over in our lines, but, if the shell did not immediately explode, they were thrown back. They had a little shell called han...

When they were new to me antways, a four prop job about the size of a deli tray sauntered by betwixt my house and mom's and was hovering/lurking under the neighbour's open-sided tractor shed. It never left the shed alive. It ran into a cloud of #4s.

Yep .. I get that. I was just answering the question about what .380 to carry. If I carried a .380 it would be something like that. You could handload full wadcutters to decent velocity for instance. Run heavier bullets. And it is a cute little gun, especially if you cut the barrel to 3 1/2" o...
