I just do not have the words. All I can hope is that it was painless and they hang this jackhat by his scrotum. My prayers are with you and your family.

Thank for the words of encouragement guys. We are still kind of still in the absorbing-it-all phase at the moment. I really don't know yet, what MY reaction to this is going to be yet. I am...

Well, mine name was given, as all proper nicknames should be, by my peers back in my old law enforcement days. This was during the period where the Dirty Harry movies were coming out (Magnum Force...

I water drop almost 100%. This is solely because I want a cold boolit as fast as possible. I do, however, use it to "extend" my lead by mixing pure/ww at about 50/50. WC causes them to come out...

I've got a '70s era PP in .380. Used it for a lot of years as a second gun and off duty gun when I was in LE. My PP can dominate a 6" plate all day at 25 yards (note I said IT can -- as I have...

I actually worked as a mechanic at a gas station in the late '60s and early '70s. I can remember gas wars where the price of gas would get down to about 12¢/gal.
