Toxic Prey - Lucas and Letty Davenport
It's a bioterrorist thriller. Catch the germ terrorist. As a story, it's a good exciting read. I do have a qualm. As far as personality development of Lucas...
I used to carry a 19 or my 26. The latter was a tad easier to conceal. However, if we ever get rid of mag bans, I would consider a Gen 5 19. I have no interest in experimenting with Glock clones. The...
Why do people say stupid things on prison phones? The Crumbley idiots did the same thing. I'm betting Baldwin gets off. Just takes one juror to think - He was told the gun was ok.
Did I say this - I might have. The law is not expected to deter bad people. It is to give the law something to arrest folks for. An analogy was a local San Antonio law banning carry of 'clubs' in...
As an aside, reading the new Colorado law being voted on, it seems to exempt the classic Mini-14 and Ruger PCC. Could be wrong as not an expert legal type. One wonders if this windfall was part of...

That's a common view. Lots of Rugers among folks here and lots of Maverick pumps for newbies. BTW, write a letter to Clarence T. and Thomas A. that they could have fixed this but didn't (saw that...
Race has been part of our system for ages. If one read what African-Americans were called before the Civil Rights movements by the white authorities, you might be shocked. What else is new? The race...
Good points - this is a System 1 - Emotional view vs. a System 2 - Cognitive Response.
The idea that an obvious bas person gets away with it galls us. Does it weaken the deterrence of the law?...
The jury vetting folks have said that the prosecution made a major mistake in voir dire and selection. Their theory was that having more women and the jury and esp. black women would act against OJ....
When I was in school and OJ was playing, I lived in the same apartment house complex as OJ did. Never saw him though. Good thing! How could I live in an upscale joint as a grad student? Well, I...
The revolver part of Historical was not my finest hour. Pretty decent with a Glock and 1911. Prone not my bod's thing either. Great class though. Nowadays, I'm more up for Hemorrhoidal Handgun. For...

Oh well.
It is sunny here now. Bah, I suppose we should have sacrificed more goats.
I had a LCP and I could shoot it reasonably but it wasn't a favorite. The G42 is much better. The DeSantis holster in my Duluth pants is almost not noticeable. One thing, the pants has a little inner...
Just a few brief crescents, the totality darkness was interesting but disappointed.
Not my lane but what about the Secret Service with Uzis and P90s? I know the latter can shoot down flying saucers as I saw that on SG-1. One guy used to shoot a civilian P90 at TX IDPA carbine...
Thread drift, excuse me. I had a work Mac Laptop that had become obsolete but still useful. They offered it to me for $75 and I said $25. No deal. So I turned it back in but switched the OS language...
My G42 is going to a short range, small carry match in a couple of weeks. It was originally a jamming horror, but went back to the shop. Been ok for a few outings now. It alternated between an...
Total overcast now - big flop unless some deity clears the sky. They were screwing us as Saturday and Sunday were glorious, clear and blue.
The Color of Magic - based on the DiscWorld novels. Mildly amusing. Watching the 2nd season of the Bleach anime revival. Shane - Shane on the L Word was more interesting. LOL.
I lost interest in...
That's an empirical question. Technology made us less dead, me especially. As far as my academic field - technology was a tremendous breakthrough in understand neural functioning. Wasn't until single...
Look at cataract surgery - first it was just taking out the lens. You have to stay in the hospital for a week to recovery with your head sandbagged. You had to wear very thick glasses to compensate...
Jim Butcher - The Olympian Affairs. Now I loved for awhile the Harry Dresden books. They did fall apart at the end with the last being ridiculous. This one is in a new series of a world with airships...
Depends on your position in society - in that time, discrimination based on religion was legit. So was race. The medical procedures that have saved my life didn't exist. Yeah, June telling Ward to...
