Dolomite and Reb:__________ Don’t worry guys. Discussion is a great thing. Many are tired of seeing the failings of a justice system that is either too weak or too corrupt to deliver justice that is "justice for the wronged". I fully agree with your frustrations. Remember, the truth is always the truth; that fact, in itself, offends lots of folks. Many prefer a fantasy land of good intentions. Keep up the good work. Kind regards, Leroy

It's a great day for America when self-serving double talking political trash like Specter are sent into retirement. Thank you Demorat voters of Pennsylvania! Leroy

I like the "Tuffy" stuff too. We need one of the "under the back seat" drawers for my son's Wrangler. Tuffy is good stuff. Kind regards, Leroy

Sorry to hear it. Dont read the posts or start the spitting contest if you dont expect to get a rebuttal. You started this little dust up, i didnt. You shouldnt expect not to be answered when you presume to lecture others. Leroy

I love this!!! Keep up the good work! Kind regards, Leroy

I like the Ruger Marks too. Relatively inexpensive, excellent shooters. Kind regards, Leroy

Great article. Full of truth. Thanks for posting it. Kind regards, Leroy

SW:____________ Before you paint with the "big paint brush" and pass judgment on "warped logic" and become enraged with "condescending pronouncements", you need to calm down, take a baby aspirin, and re-adjust your glasses. Now that you've done that, first things first: First of all, I never said that I did agree with it. The fact is that I don’t really care how they do it. The truth of the matter is that someone should do it and do it in a timely manner. The fact is that our society (...here in Tennessee, at least...) has evidently decided on lethal injection or "ole sparky". I could care less which one they use; as long as they use it. That's the point of my little rant. You may not have thought about this much; but I firmly believe that "the law" ought to work both ways. It should bring sure judgment to the guilty and some sense of justice for those lying in the grave or left on the earth that are affected by the crime. The fact that that the law is seemingly powerless and too weak to do this very job is one of the chief reasons why these monsters are murdering others with impunity. Your line of logic allows for all the niceties of the "presumption of innocence" for those who are clearly guilty with none of the "justice for those who have been wronged". I don’t like that idea. It, in itself, is a perversion of justice. I like the 90 day idea and we ought to employ it. You seem to favor the "endless appeal route". Those are differences in opinions. The fact is that there will always be innocent folks in jail on death row because the law is not perfect (...and never will be...). You are worried about the rights of the accused; I’m worried about the rights of the murdered and maimed. I believe if there was more swift, sure punishment meted out by our justice system; there would be a lot less need to mete that justice out in the first place. Re: Me being condescending. It is a character flaw. I'm most always that way when I’m having a conversation with folks that should be old enough to know better. I fully confess to it. Hope this little speech makes you feel better. Now I’ll lay back down, take a baby aspirin and have a little nap. I urge you to do the same and don’t be so easily roused to indignation. After all, this is a forum of like minded friends discussing issues. Not a place for gladiators to battle. Kind regards, Leroy

Who do you think should do it? We used to have public executions carried out by officers of the jurisdictions that had the trial. I believe that if it were no more than about 90 days between sentencing and carrying out of a capital sentence; there would be a lot fewer capital sentences that needed to be handed out, and crimes would be curbed. I could (...and i believe many others would agree...) care less how barbaric, heinous, and painful the carrying out of the death sentence is. Since our societies’ elites have deemed that all mankind is good and can be rehabilitated; we have decided to put them all in time out or just to threaten them with the death penalty after about thirty years of appeals and delays. One of the reasons that our society is so far into the toilet is that we have no objective set of moral and ethical convictions. Everything is relative. Everything has qualifiers and mitigating circumstances. Kids had bad parents, they weren’t breast fed as babies, white people were mean to them, and black people were mean to them --- on and on and on --- all idiotic drivel. We have reduced the process of "justice" to a grotesque comedy pretending to pass out justice. All the while making excuses for and deferring to the rights of the excrement that seems only too happy to continue doing whatever unspeakable act they care to commit. Many of them full well know that all they need is a ratty defense attorney who can be bought with money and a bunch of pop culture trash to sit on the jury. All they need is one juror to bail them out. At this juncture in history, the American system of justice is a grotesque comedy. The real losers are the citizens who are exposed to it. Thus endeth the lesson. Leroy

Interesting read. May have some wide ranging effects. Thanks for posting it. Kind regards, Leroy

I agree. These are the only two choices. I've got a Nikon D80. I love it. I'm sure a Canon is equally great. By the way, i have Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0. It will do anything you want with the nikon .nef files. Hope this helps, Leroy

I like it!! A REAL auto pistola!! Enjoy, Leroy PS---CAINT WAIT FOR THE RANGE REPORT!!

This is a winner!!! Very wise kbn4!!! Keep up the good work and leave the bears alone!! Kind regards, Leroy

Dolomite:__________ [quote...I am not against the death penalty but I believe the way it is done is too humane for some of the animals we have out there. Kill the criminal in a similar way as their victims and I am all for it. Those who are responsible for the Christian-Newsome murders should be killed exactly how they killed those kids. The same ways and on the same time line, making it take as long to die as it took those kids to die. And while the sentence is being carried out make those who raised the criminals watch so they too can feel the pain of loosing a loved one in such a horrible way. ...] I fully agree. Our system of "justice' simply is not equipped to handle the type of crime that is discussed here. Our system simply puts criminals in "time out". We should be in the business of taking the worst of the worst from "time out" to "out of this world" in a manner consistent with the heinous nature of the crimes perpetrated by these monsters. Sadly, the 'cruel and unusual punishment' line is used all too well by the disgraceful among us who twist the intent of the law to save the unworthy. I have also come to the opinion that in no case should a crime be tried by a jury from another jurisdiction, no matter what the reasons. The further the community is from the crime, the more likely for the criminals to beat the rap. Food for thought, Leroy

I have an SUV too.... I use a good lock type case (... like a pelican, one with reinforced tabs for padlock locking...) appropriate to the size of the pistol, take a loop type (...one with swaged eyes on each end, about 2 ft long...) stainless choker (... short ones can be found at Harbor Freight, Northern supply, etc...), a good non pickable padlock (...buy from your local locksmith, not the home depot...), and lock the lock ring on the case and the two eyes of the choker together, after wrapping the choker around something sturdy; like the seat frame of the second seat. Then throw your old jacket over the whole thing, or push it up under the second seat. I know this description sounds a lot more complicated than it actually is. It is really easy to do, and virtually foolproof. You cant break into the pelican case and the case is tied down to a 6000 lb vehicle. Hope this helps, Leroy

The fact of the matter is that all this stuff is caused by one of several causes: Willful disregard for traffic signals. Inattention. Idiocy (...which pop culture helps to facilitate and promote..). In no case did a red lite camera prevent anything. IT DID RECORD the stupidity of the perpetrators. The Knoxville police department says it does. Read here: Red-light cameras saving lives, police say Check out the statistic of the 36 to 22 fatalities against thiis data lifted from another site (....Knoxville, Tennessee City Information - ePodunk....) By my calculation (...102/3=34...). Based on these numbers, you can make a case that says that redlite cameras lower the death rates. If you look at overall traffic numbers by state, the statistics are all over the map. I think this the case with the city traffic numbers in general. One years high can be twice last years average. That being said; I think it is a stretch to proclaim that redlite cameras do anything other than provide a revenue stream to the lousy government that sets them up. Remember, figures dont lie; but all liars can figure. Hope this stirs up a hornet's nest. Leroy

SM:_________ The truth "of principles before numbers" is one that lots of national organizations can benefit from; chief of which is the Republican Party. Whom i believe is facing extinction if they do not come to grips with this truth. It seems that as i get older, is more clearly i see the shift from principles to numbers. I believe it is the result of the pragmatic ideal that that says "we need to win first, then straighten everything out later". This concept never works out. Nobody ever remembers to straighten things out later. I believe that is why the Libertarian/Tea Party Movement is doing so well now. The NRA could use a good housecleaning. As smart as the NRA policy makers are, surely they can see that backing Demorats is a bad policy for gunowners and America in general. Food for thought. Leroy

What a truth brother!! I heartily agree. Justice is hardly ever served in the courts today. Look at the Christian-Newsome verdicts. Keep up the good work. Kind regards, Leroy

David:________ Check here: Wilderness Tactical Products, LLC Got two of them. Wear them every day. Highly recommended!! Kind regrds, Leroy

Folks:_______ Just remembered. RWS is a division of Dynamit Nobel. Nobel sells explosives by the ton all over the world. Lots of it here in the USA. They also have a great line of target shotgun shells. RWS is good stuff. Looks like the Walmart made a big purchase from Dynamit Nobel, USA. Dont worry about using this stuff. It's good. Check this link out: RWS - RWS Munition - Die Marke RWS Kind regards, Leroy

Great advice on chamfering the inside of the case mouth and cleaning up the primer pockets. Keep up the good work, Kind regards Leroy

The State of Pennsylvania needs the money. I think it is nothing other than another revenue stream for the state. Very similar to the KPD radar traps on I75 south every day and the occasional blanketing of the exits hunting for the "low hanging fruit". At its core; it is about the money. Food for thought, Leroy

DaG:________ What range do you all shoot the 3 gun on? I would like to come out and watch. Kind regards, Leroy

Thanks Jason! That is exactly what i needed to know. I appreciate it. Kind regards, Leroy PS-- NOW ALL I NEED TO DO IS FIND A "LIGHTLY USED" AND "LOVINGLY CARED FOR" PM40 Thanks willie!! I like the MK's too!!

Jason:__________ I (...like willis...) am stewing on rounding up one of these PM models or an MK. Tell us about the recoil with the 40 caliber PM. I am trying to decide between the 9 mm and the 40. The PM 40 shows a weight of 15.8 ounces. The MK 40 (...the all steel version...) weighs 23 ounces (...about the same as my glock 33, except a much thinner package...). Let us know what your impressions are. Kind regards, Leroy
