http://www.barking-moonbat.com/index.php/weblog/now_how_did_he_know_that/ The source is marginal, and the claim bold. Still, if there's any credibility to it, it raises a lot of questions about Sheriff Dupnik's handling of a known nutjob. (The story also links to a Reuters article that...

I'm fond of 370 grain T/C Maxi-Balls. I also use real black powder, not a modern propellant (70gr FFFg--shoots great in my rifle). .50 cal Hawken copy.

Not a double-barrel automatic, but I do have a double automatic.

http://www.noble.org/ag/Wildlife/FeralHogs/03-Current.htm SW Oklahoma hasn't been hit too hard yet, but I don't expect it'll be that way much longer. Looks like there might be some down on the river near Mangum.

Yes, but think of how tender the snack-size pigs will be.

I use a 370gr .50cal T/C Maxi-Ball on deer. Goes in one side, out the other. Bambi doesn't wander far. 70 gr. of FFFg, BTW. My rifle seems to love the finer powder.

All above, but they all go to a single, fundamental question: what level of scrutiny should be applied to particular regulations? Strict scrutiny is what we want; "rational basis" is a crock that would let just about anything stand. The next case will be at least as important as this one.

Art, I don't mean to be argumentative, but regarding the officer who sees the crime occurring, is he obliged to intervene by the law, or by his department's regulations? In other words, if he doesn't engage, will he get a butt-chewing from his chief, or will he be brought up on charges before...

alsaqr, I'm actually in law school in OKC, and John Grisham came to speak to us about that case. I'm sorry to say I had other commitments that evening; I would love to have been there.

I love Washington's law: not only full civil protection, but a full refund of expenses incurred in successfully defending a criminal prosecution. My only concern is that such a law will add even more motivation for the prosecutor to, shall we say, influence the outcome of a case in one...

...him--him who is, of course, all of us. The judge, being human, decides that in light of the "increasing professionalism" of our police force,* suing the officer or department is a more appropriate remedy than excluding the illegally-garnered evidence, and we all lose a little bit of freedom...

Jon_Snow: To clarify a bit, my understanding is that to be called an explosive the flame front must propagate through the material faster than the speed of sound in that material. The speed of sound is different in different materials, typically fastest in solids and slowest in gases...

How do you pull the tusks out of the jaw? I tried with my first hog and got nowhere.

There seems to be a consensus on the fast-and-light theory for small- and medium-bore rifles, but what about big-bore? Has anybody played with the TSX in .45-70? Fantastic hog caliber, but we're dropping from the 2700 FPS class to the 1700 FPS class. Any thoughts?

Actually, Lemmy, it depends upon jurisdiction. Since you mention auto insurance, I recall that Ohio has (or had) a provision allowing one to either post a cash bond to self-insure, or to file a certificate of self-insurance if he owned more than twenty-five vehicles. No escrow required on the...

It would depend upon the specific terms of the sales contract. Did you agree on "UPS shipping insurance," or just "insurance?" If the latter, the seller could claim that he was self-insuring, and it wouldn't be fraud until he refused to pay a claim (and then it would probably be insurance...

I guess we have different definitions of "shall not be infringed." I would say that government licensure of printing presses would abridge the freedom of the press, and even more the idea that a press license is only good at one location. Just because a law is passed doesn't make it valid...

Here's the real question: If this weren't a firearms business, but rather a newspaper, and the BATFPrinting came in and shut down the business for printing their newspapers at the wrong address, would you still be carrying water for them saying "they knew the rules and broke them," or would you...

Cavalry Arms threw in the towel today. Thank God for the brave agents of the ATF, selflessly throwing their lives on the line to protect us from AR lowers manufactured at the wrong address! What would we do without these unsung heros? Three cheers for the ATF!

I like it!
