That would be a greater hazard with my Colt's revolving rifle with a latent danger to the forearm when IT chain fires. Love the American Derringer in 45-70 with under barrel as .410 shot gun... same impact-to-hand issue. I own an original long trapdoor Springfield in 45-70 and that is the only round I reload in black or modern powder; The Sharp's carbine 45-70 is fussier and only takes factory rounds. If George had had those at the Greasy Grass, he could have held out till Terry arrived since they have no real eject spring problem... his poor maneuvering aside of course. Reno was luckier as two of his packers HAD two long trapdoors which effectively kept the native legions at a distance for two days.:arrgh!:

All of em' as it was an academic study...! Actually did the pub crawl in Dublin hosted by two professional folk musicians who played and commented on folk style; and hired my own historian for a guided tour of Dublin. Subsequently, my daughter put on a museum display in Oregon of Irish Folk music, when not managing the International Zinfandel Wine festival. She is finishing her masters in museum science at the Smithsonian. Played rugby (hooker) in the mid seventies with a touring side in Galway, so this was a return visit. I liked the Puffins of Moher too!:arrgh!:

Best excuse ever:up:
Which sides did you play in the tour?
Hughses bar used to always have a lot of touring teams in.

Truly cannot recall,.. as the postgame Bachus rites were fabulous and we travelled to New Zealand and Australia after that. My club was the Seahawks, after my four years playing for my college, until a broken jaw ended my career... I do recall we actually won a game. God bless our Welch coaches for that... just across the Irish Sea. They trained the scrum to "run under a blanket" so we had some advantage of weight in the rucks and mauls against innately more experienced players. I'm in my Guinness rugby jersey as I close the convoy!:arrgh!:

Anyone want to lay wagers that these gun control measures will do absolutely nothing to curtail gun violence in the state of California?
All it will do is give Sacramento the big picture on who owns weapons and who's buying ammo for the weapons. Well, everyone except the gang bangers and the criminals. Your state taxes at work breeding excuses for more taxes.:-?:up:

YOUR probably right! Out here Gangbanger is one word just as damnyankee is for Armistead,( hey! my correction gizmo didn't even redline it for correction as it does for damnyankee) :arrgh!:

There isn't no "probably" about it. No gun control legislature they can pass is going to do anything about the crime in California. It's all political so politicians can break their own arms patting themselves on the back for "having done something".

It's all hot air, and in the end, it's the average law abiding citizen who ends up dealing with the consequences of all the political maneuvering that did nothing but further infringe on their constitutional rights.

I'm glad I don't live there anymore, and there isn't a thing in the world that would ever convince me to live there ever again.

Californicatia is already a seperate Nation-State that leads the way for undermineing the rest of the U.S. of A.
I pray for the Great Quake or Sunami myself.

Serious or hyperbole?

Serious. It's one area I have no issues with seeing it go missing.
Live there? So sorry for you but you got's to go if you do.

Jesus wept. :nope:

And you say Californians are the problem.

You assume incorrectly that I care what you think of me.
Yes. I'd enjoy watching the news channels as that part of the World sunk into the Great White hunting zone.

Well now you've gone and hurt my feelings :roll:

I don't care. People who gleefully anticipate natural disasters aren't worth my time.

Jesus wept when Lazarus died. Then he raised him from the dead.
I'm not Jesus. I do not forgive.

You wasted time by your own actions. Not mine.
Have a nice day.
