    Another example of intervention gone wrong

    Like most here, I would call the police and report the incident. I would not play the hero in a DV situation.

    What did you shoot today?

    Went to the range Saturday, accompanied by @fallout mike. We shot a variety of handguns. I bought a Uberti 1860 Army a few months back and hadn't shot it before. We put a few cylinders through it and it was a lot of fun. After shooting .357 mag for a while the deep boom was very satisfying and...

    Why Own a Snubby?

    Where on earth is it 4x more dangerous than Memphis? I wasn't aware that place existed. I've spent a little time in NYC and a whole lot in Memphis. I'm like a nervous cat in Memphis. lol

    If You Desire to Have an Attorney and Cannot Afford One, ....

    I know different places probably have a different process regarding this, and you do mention in your post that it was 20 years ago, but it still surprises me. Here, we do not make any decisions regarding whether someone qualifies for the services of our office. On the day the defendant finds out...

    If You Desire to Have an Attorney and Cannot Afford One, ....

    100% correct. Tell them you are exercising your right to remain silent, and explicitly state that you want to talk to an attorney. Once you do that, they are supposed to cease all interrogation until said attorney is present. Another thing we see pretty often is people initially declining to...

    If You Desire to Have an Attorney and Cannot Afford One, ....

    I worked for the prosecuting attorney during undergrad and the first 2 years of law school. I fully planned to prosecute when I passed the bar, but the PA didn't have a job opening and the public defender did. I certainly get it. It absolutely isn't. There are a minority of sleazy attorneys on...

    It ranks right up there with the fact that most people who have drugs in their car give consent for officers to search it.

    How to initially choose a powder when starting out?

    I like versatility, but these days it's a matter of finding something that will work.

    I gonna go out on a limb here and guess you don't plan to become a defense attorney.

    My wife calls it gun porn!

    That's what holds back gun purchases for me too. I have several hobbies and none of them are cheap. If I would stop playing golf and smoking cigars I would have more firearms.

    Bodyguard 380 report after having it a while

    That's its appeal for me too. In the summer when I'm wearing just a pair of khaki shorts and a knit polo style shirt, it slips easily into a front pocket with a DeSantis pocket holster and you barely notice its there once you get accustomed to it. For that, it's great. It allows me to be armed...

    My wife calls it gun porn!

    She doesn't call it porn, but she definitely gets tired of hearing about guns. The last time I pulled the trigger on one I'd been wanting for a long time, she went to the shop with me to pick it up. She'd been hearing about it for months. In the car on the way home, I said, "I think I know what...

    So, You Want To Start Casting…?

    I will say there are things to consider when making this decision. How much do you shoot? Or how much do you want to shoot? For some it is a labor of love, for others it's a labor of necessity. For me, while I don't hate it there are times I do it when I really don't feel like it. If I were...

    So, You Want To Start Casting…?

    I started by getting advice from experienced people here, on the castboolits site, and Youtube. If you're casting for handguns, wheel weights are the ticket. One thing I would say is that lead hardness is overrated. Having the correct fit for your bore or chamber throats is far more...

    No more Powder

    I don't see any mention of it on PV's website. Where did you see it?
