i forget if you already answered this in the 'dry firing' thread, but is Mrs. SWing'r (Diamo girl?) going to shoot also? If so, awesome, except pretty soon she'll want a 1911, then something else, and something else...

stiff (sic) Ruger trigger > Glock trigger

pick up some snap caps and spend your couch time dry firing. I guarantee you'll like what happens to the trigger.

the only piece of advice at the moment is to not swing/flip the cylinder up into the frame once you've loaded it, as you might have seen on t.v. or in the movies; nor should you spin the cylinder around. Both actions place unneeded stress upon parts.

wiki leaks had one up of them shooting some innocent people just standing on the corner and a van with 2 kids in it.

nice work guys!

every tv station/network in the world had videos of them crashing planes into twin office buildings, a major defense department office building, and a field in Pennsylvania, killing 3,000+ men, women, and children.

nice work guys!

...And you guys will probably be sick of hearing from me in the next few months' date=' I have lots of questions [/quote']

we were already tired of you, David...

don't worry about posting up questions - we all had to learn these things.

"...no question is a 'stupid question' if the asker doesn't know the answer and sincerely wants to know the answer..."

I didn't say you wouldn't be justified just that your going to have to explain more. Ability is a big part of justifying any type of force used. What one person would be justified in doing another wouldn't. If you've ever used a type of force on someone and had to explain it you would understand. If you were carrying in that church and shot the guy with the knife you would be explaining why you chose to shoot him to a prosecuting attorney. If you had the ability to safely disarm him with a lesser form of force ie taser or specialized martial arts training you'd better be able to articulate why deadly force was the only option you felt you had.

i believe we're on the same side here, but...

if i were carrying in church and shot a dude, i'd first have to prove that i had permission from the preist/pastor to do so, otherwise i'm in violation of at least one of Ohio's laws. Assuming the dude i just offed was a "bad guy", and meant to do harm, i probably wouldn't get charged, but still...

same bad guy w/knife, same me but this time with a knife, and we're out on the public sidewalk in front of the church, i DO NOT need to explain why i didn't kung-fu-judo-chop-mace-taze him into submission.

it seems you've alluded to being some sort of LEO (fed, local, don't know, doesn't matter), so if you are, and as part of your duties have to use force, then yes, you have to explain it. different standards.

on the other hand, as a civilian resident of Ohio, i don't have to explain anything as long as what i did passes the "imminent grave bodily injury or death" test. Part of Ohio's "Castle Doctrine" assortment of gun laws. No duty to retreat, no duty to use less-lethal means.

By your thinking, Bruce Lee (assuming he were alive and a resident of Ohio) would never be able to use a gun in defense of self/other, since we all know he could take on 10-15 armed dudes with his bare hands/feet and whoop 'em all.

Again, not <really> arguing with you, but trying to clarify a civilian's rights under Ohio's laws.

So glad I work from home, and mostly get to shit at home.

i try to leave that at work, if possible - no sense stinkin' up the house if it can be avoided.

"...a working man washes his hands *before* he pees..." -Max Power, iirc.

...IF Obama actually holds to his word...

DearLeader kept his word re: no increase in middle-class tax increases, so what's not to believe?

24 hour warning: "weather forecast for tomorrow, 3,000 degrees and sunny". We would, of course, mass-evacuate all U.S. assets (read: soldiers) with time to spare, and give Israel a week's notice, but only as they keep the news on the down-low.

Use neutron bombs - a lot less infrastructure destroyed that way.

2 new U.S. states created, East Virgina and East Carolina.

Gas back down to 20 cents/gallon.

The entire region has done nothing except bicker with each other/the rest of the world for the past 1,000+ years - they're never going to like each other or play nicely with the other kids on the playground, so it's time to say "eff 'em".

(the above is mostly wishful thinking).

I feel like they should be focusing on budget cuts.

i agree, but:

can you have budget cuts if there hasn't been a budget passed during DearLeader's reign?

(for you mouth breathers, the above is a rhetorical question).

Not sure how to embed videos here.

there's nowhere I need to go that I'll risk a felony to enter that place.

I'll find some other business that deals in what I'm after (food, hardware, whatever), or I'll leave the weapon locked in the lockbox in my vehicle.

simply cannot risk Jr.growing up without me due to a completely avoidable action on my part.

But the more you know the more you are liable for. If you need to protect yourself with deadly force and you know lesser effective forms you will be asked why you used deadly force instead of the lesser forms of force you know of.

no, no, and no.

you're either justified in using lethal force or you are not justified in using lethal force.

the manual for the LCR states that dry firing is OK.

the guys on the two Ruger forums i'm on would disagree - on the LCRs the firing pin spring will disintegrate - after lots (2k+ dry fires). occasional dry firing shouldn't hurt, but anything more than occasional - use snap caps. if you get an LCR, put snap caps in it, and 'fire' it 5-600 times (easy to do whilst on the couch during bowl season), you'll love what happens to the already pretty darn nice trigger.

i assume you're looking at the LCR as a carry/defensive weapon, correct? If so, look into the one that's chambered for .357 Magnum. Yes, it kicks, but not enough that you can't easily control it, and you can shoot .38 special with it (as with any .357 mag).

the LCR is not a range gun - that is, you're not going to want to shoot hundreds of rounds downrange every week. The .22 version is probably fine for that, but less than optimal as a defense round. although, as i've said before, ".22 > .00"...

here's mine, in .357, with a pocket holster and a bianchi iwb (in waistband) holsters:

...it's my dad so i sold it to him for 1k seems fair for all the shit i did to him as a kid...

...Good on you, man. You will be paid back in spades with the rides you take with your dad.

Some of my best memories are going for slow backroad rides with the 'ol man.

two fellas that "get it". life's too short to be angry or hold a grudge (unless your anger/grudge is directed at the Ford motor Company, which is completely understandable and acceptable).

'grats on the new ride, and for hooking your Pop up with a great deal!

dependency upon the government - that is what's being fostered.

confiscating more from "producers" - DearLeader was trying to convince/condition/brainwash you that it is the right thing to do when he made his "...you didn't build that, the government did..." speech. After all, since "the rich" didn't do anything to earn the money they have, then it's OK for the government to take it from them and re-distribute it to those who don't have as much, right?

you stole some of what I posted up on a social network:

"Tax breaks for the middle class", right? Who knew that Dear Leader would lie to get re-elected?

And this just in: Dear Leader says "...we raised taxes, but the rich still aren't paying their share.."

For the umpteenth time, the top 1% pay ~37% of all fed. income tax; the top 5%, ~59%; and the top 10%, 70.5%. But they're not paying enough...

Stop spending like a drunken sailor on shore leave! $4.5 Trillion in additional spending over 10 years. $1 cut for every $41 spent. No budgets passed during Dear Leader's term, either.

Wait 'til people start complaining about "the TeaBaggers/TeaTards/Evil Republicans" stalling on the debt ceiling. We're already at $16.5 Trillion in debt - do we really need to go higher? Certain folks think we do, others think we don't need to/shouldn't/can't afford to.

~$2400 a year just from payroll/S.S. in federal taxes for this guy.

I'm willing to do my part so we can continue to spend our tax dollars on frivolous programs, welfare, and other countries.

I am a true patriot.

i thought Dear Leader said he was going to help the "middle class".

2% tax increase (not including DearLeaderCare taxes) doesn't help.

is there a petition to repeal the salary increase that they voted in before they dropped this giant pile of shit on us?

It wasn't voted on by congress; Dear Leader used another one of his famous Executive Orders.

effin' p.o.s.

and a pack of d-cell batteries ?

6-volt batteries?

not batteries, ya dope - it's powered by Briggs and Stratton...

I've set up two trusts with them, no issues whatsoever.

justa guess, but the writer doesn't like Jews?

Bad, your woman loves to take pictures...want some?

Is the Shield in 9MM?
