No-lock 642. It was my very first privately owned firearm.

The only people who should not be allowed to own firearms are: - Those who have been adjudicated mentally ill and a danger to others or themselves and are thus either institutionalized or are thereafter under 24-7 supervision. - Those who through due process of law have been convicted and...

I suggest you pay no attention to which powders are close in burn rate and stick to published load data.

2400, a very flexible powder.

Mispronunciations in the gun world? The most annoying one is pronouning the word "magazine" as kl ih p.

Browning BDA, though I don't carry it often. I also like my TCP, and it is with me far more often.

If you felt driven to post the question, "Do I have too many?" then you probably do.

Armor Snail summed it up nicely. For the same money, the Taurus without question.

But you presume Mr. Hamilton to be correct across the board, a presumption to which I will not bow. His premise is that courts by their very nature must interpret, a supposition to which I do not subscribe. He does at least get the part right about courts being bound by the limits of their...

States do not have to recognize each other's driver and marriage licenses; but not doing so would be economically stupid, and their legislatures know it.

Article III, Section 2 grants "judicial power," (note the delibrate absence of any form of the word interpret), for deciding matters of law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, ... [the rest is about treaties, which are clearly international matters) under...
