    ...in an antigunner world a .22lr will blow a dudes bowels out if he is hit on the big toe
    Ignorance is everywhere. As my dad was buying me my first .45 when I was 16, the guy behind the counter solemnly assured me that a .45 ball round striking the tip of the pinky will tear off a mans arm.

    That story is literally true, for the old-school definition of "literally".

    No group has a monopoly on ignorance.

    I wonder if he believed it or was just messing with you. That's something my grandfather would do

    I have over 200+ emails from kids asking "when in the next one" and "do you do reloading classes" and "what if I have never.." the best one is I have dozen and dozens of emails from parents "I want my kid to learn but I don't know a thing" and "can I attend as well, I would like to learn to with my kids"....

    For reasons not pertinent here, NRA certs for reloading instructors are extremely difficult to get. If I ever get mine, I think I'll need to let you know.

    Maybe this is the one shooting-related project I will actually accomplish sooner rather than later...or never, like most of them. :)

    When Shit Hit The Fan, she got her Ass on that stage, in the firing line, and tried to do something.

    No she didn't !
    I guess you could say, at one point she was protecting him from being kneecapped.
    And then she went around the left side of trump, and jumped off the stage.
    She had no idea what to do.
    Was it her that could be heard saying 'what are we doing'?
    Was she a paid 'Ride along'?

    Maybe. I was and still am ridiculously naive for my age. But my dad corrected that misinformation right after we left the liquor store where he bought the revolver, so my dad didn't catch it as him messing with me. And my dad was a lot better at reading people than me.

    I'm convinced that salesman was just as ignorant as the guy who talked about how he had seen in Vietnam that the bullet from an M16 (That was the way he phrased it.) will strike the hip, travel down the leg to the foot, then turn around and come right back up past the hip to the torso, wrecking all internal organs. Yeah, a guy actually tried to sell me that story once.

    But past the anecdotes, my point was only that ignorance is always present on every side of every issue.

    if it was a high caliber rifle his ear should be gone. Lol

    In my book 5.56 is not high cal. But then again in an antigunner world a .22lr will blow a dudes bowels out if he is hit on the big toe


    Some of the tards over at DU were questioning the assassination attempt because they thought 5.56 was powerful enough to vaporize a child and clearly wouldn't simply poke a hole though an ear.

    The only "high caliber" I'm familiar with are rounds in a .30 SC whose owner has smoked a half-ounce of weed. :)

    The SS and local police are in full blame each other mode.

    Local LE dept. Is very small, less than 15 officers

    There was a sniper team (this would be team 4 i think) set up in a second story window. The decision to have the team here vs the roof was supposedly made by the SS

    He fell 8', and was injured.
    He was on the radio right away, as was his partner, on the channel that everyone was supposed to be tuned into, calling in the threat.

    That is the CYA version. Everybody is scrambling to protect themselves.

    Sheriff made it clear there was no fall.

    I posted it above.

    Butler is 12 officers.

    Sheriff is much bigger I think.

    State Police even bigger.

    These were the 3 local/state agencies that assisted.

    I'm still waiting for Brandon to call for gun control.
    If he doesn't bail first. Most news stories today say he may step aside as early as this weekend. He's lost Bammy, so that;a about all he had left.

    "Several top Democrats told Axios on Thursday they now believe President Biden will discontinue his re-election campaign. The decision reportedly could come as soon as this weekend."

    Most of the replies were 'Hiding', or playing Sandra Bullock...

    I already posted the Sheriffs comments, that is not what he said.

    Does not look like a she to me:

    OK, you are clearly a Demo-Commie...
    'She' was in reference to the DEI Holster Puzzle agent.
    With all the retarded things you have posted, a 10 year old could rearrange your words to say you are a transvestite.
    You want to play that game?
