No bible verse, but some fractured Latin and good quotes from ORdN. My sig was too long, or so I was told, so in a fit of pissed-off-ness I removed it. I should bring it back; maybe I could make the font tiny...

Co-loafer at work wants it. Mods - please to close thread.

No sh1t, great voice! And a face made for radio, to boot! Sorry, that was very un-Christian-like of me.

...And you took care of it yourself that night...

Central Ohio area.

*** UPDATE 4 Jan - found a taker. *** I ordered and paid for one of these from Vance's 10 days ago, in order to get in on their sale and combine that with the rebate Smith was offering. I am waiting on it to arrive at Vance's. I paid $372.73, and with the rebate (which is only good for guns purchased on/before 31 December) my price will be $322.73. Last week I fired a Ruger LCR side-by-side with the Smith, found them to be essentially equals. Found a great deal on the LCR, ordered it, and should have it tomorrow. Before I cancel the Smith, if anyone wants it I will offer it at $325. They are currently still on sale at $349.99, so you'd be saving $50 after tax. Item will be brand new, in box, never fired. If no one wants it I'll cancel the order, no big deal, just thought I'd offer it to my friends on here first.

I've always heard that Rock's Trailer Sales (click) in Grove Tucky (City) is <the> place to go. Never have bought a trailer, so I can't speak first hand about them - yrmv.

Spray that stank with some Lysol first, then before you attack her, double-wrap your whacker. jussayin'.

I'll buy Jizzbot's 1125CR for ya, that work? Or any Hyosong you little heart desires... Also, for the ORdN Clubhouse, a cool sit-down racing game like the one for sale here a few weeks ago.

...in other get rich quick news, tonight's Mega Billions is $242 mil. Should be around $82 mil after tax, lump sum. If I win, H-D's for everyone!

the other $9 large will go to the schools... :lol:

If you're riding there after the Polar Bear thing, I'll go with ya, assuming it's not raining.

Correct, no guns, open or concealed, in bars serving liquor. The statute specifically says "liquor", so <perhaps> a beer-only bar would be "ok", but I'm not testing the law... If the store is posted as a CPZ (Criminal Protection Zone, a.k.a. "don't carry in my store"), then normally you would be asked to leave if they saw the gun. You leave, no probs. You don't leave, you're trespassing and can be charged with whatever level misdemeanor that is. You can always say you didn't see the sign, but when asked by the store, you hafta comply.

Open Carry means you can carry a weapon unconcealed, e.g. in a holster on your waist - picture the old time cowboys carrying a six-shooter. People can see the gun. You can open carry it anywhere you could concealed, so no Gov't agencies, schools, establishments serving liquor, etc. You could conceivably carry a shotgun/rifle over your shoulder, but you also could conceivably be stopped/charged for causing a panic. <Probably> won't get hassled open carrying, but Joe and Jane Public might get kinda antsy seeing a gun. Ask Josh, a.k.a. Chevy - he's a proponent of open carry and practices it often.

I think he meant "in hooters", like this:

Grammar was fine. Punctuation, on the other hand, needed some work...

My kiddo is now playing on his Catholic school basketball team, where he'll learn two valuable lessons: - If you don't win, no trophy. - If you don't beat those heathen public school kids, you'll burn in hell for eternity... </threadjack>

...But Nick had a picture... I call it a tie, and like kids' soccer, everyone gets a trophy...

You know he will, it just needs to warm up some. I'll take you up on that offer, and if you want you may fondle and shoot my Kimber...

Put the first 250 down range in my new Kimber Custom II, using Federal brass, 230 gr. Smooth as silk. Not one FTF/FTE using the factory 7 round mag with the metal feed lips and two Wilson Elite 8 round mags. Gotta love a 4 lb. trigger from the factory. All right boys and girls, my .38 special observations: - The contestants: S&W 642 and a Ruger LCR Crimson Trace. - 50 rounds of PMC 140 grain FMJ through each gun, alternating guns every 10 rounds. - I am by no means an expert marksman nor a gun guru, but feel I can give you an honest opinion. - Recoil: I wish the Ruger had been the standard model with the Hogue Tamer grips, as the felt recoil with the LCR was more than the Smith, and I think that the CTC grips had a lot to do with that. Not a whole lot more, but noticeable. Both guns had a fair amount of recoil; after 100 rounds my palms were not happy. - Trigger: I honestly could not tell any difference at all. I'm guessing both guns had at least 1,000 rounds through them, so they're broken in by now. Both triggers were, for a sub $400 snubbie, pretty decent. Neither had any annoying transition going from cocked to firing. Both very acceptable. - Shooting results: The Ruger (and me, I guess) shot much better at 15 and 25 feet. I would have expected, given the Ruger's more pronounced recoil, that the Smith would have had the tighter groups, but it didn't. At 25 feet it 5" vs. 3", on average. No shots were outside of the 8" circle at 25 feet, so both guns were hitting center mass, and thus stopping any threat that would have been there. Double, triple, and 5-taps all stayed center mass. - Price: At Vance's: The Smith is on sale for $349 with a $50 mail-in rebate (making it $299) until 12/31, the LCR is $470. At Bud's, $400 for the LCR, $420 for the 642 ($50 rebate applies through 12/31. Woodbury has the LCR in 357 Magnum for $420 - Conclusion: Both guns shot very well, were able to hit what they were aimed at, and had smooth triggers. If the Ruger had had the standard Hogue grips, my guess is that the recoil would have been the same. Neither gun is one you'd want to shoot multiple hundreds of rounds through at the range, but that's not these gun's raison d'etre.** The Ruger shot better groups, but both guns were accurate enough for self defense, either as a primary carry weapon or as a bug. What am I going to do? I'm calling Woodbury in the morning and getting the LCR 357 version. ** "raison d'etre" is a little French lingo that means "reason for existence"...

And Bud Light doesn't play Budweiser in the Bud Bowl any longer, and Spuds is gone to that kennel in the sky. I guess you're right, Chong, the "good" beers don't need gimmicks... ...no offense to those who actually like Bud and Bud Light (or Coors Light, or...). Well, OK, I did mean to offend you. From what I remember form my beer days, those taste like crap. And don't even get me started on that Mexican piss in a bottle with a lime jammed in the top...

From the looks of him and the actions leading up to the shooting, I'd say "Involuntary stupidity" or "Reckless unintelligence"

Thinking of heading out to the range with an ETA of about 1830. Going to compare a S&W J-frame and a Ruger LCR. Everything I've read says the trigger on the LCR is far superior to the J-frame. Woodbury has the 357 Mag LCR for $420 right now. Ordered a Smith M442 last week, but if the LCR is that much better I'll cancel it. Also going to break in the Kimber while there and probably shoot the 9 some, too. Anyone that feels like tagging along, guess I'll see you there.

What? No husband has <ever> said that... ..no longer married, and Yes, she's still alive, so the above does not apply to moi.
